company history

FulTech Solutions began in Orlando, Florida, in 1994, as a research effort between college students, engineers and computer scientists, interested in researching the computer control & automation of electrical devices. In 1995, it evolved into Smart Technologies, a design and installation firm, for residential lighting and appliance control systems.

Relocated in Jacksonville, the company was restructured and named FulTech Solutions, Inc. With the background and qualifications to fully understand the fundamentals of a quality, expandable home automation system, FulTech Solutions added structured cabling systems and full residential automation and control, to its list of services. In 1996, with an extensive interactive display at the Jacksonville Home and Patio Show, the company debuted total home automation to North Florida.

FulTech developed and implemented its patent-pending Universal Cabling System (UCS), in 1997, and UCS has been listed annually in the Electronic House (EH) Buyers Guide since 2000.

More than basic structured cabling, UCS also facilitates audio and video distribution, touch screens, keypads and wiring for integrating lighting, HVAC, pool/spa control and more. The UCS is neither component nor manufacturer specific, enabling customer flexibility regarding enhancements and budget.  

In 2002, FulTech opened a fully functional, 4500 sq. foot model home in Ponte Vedra, Fla., highlighting the best features and functionality available in the industry. The home was EH magazine’s Home of the Month in November 2003, FulTech’s second Home of the Month featured. The home, now more than 4 years old, is still state-of-the-art and UCS has accommodated any and all upgrades to date. 

During the 2005 Consumer Electronic Association’s Mark of Excellence awards, FulTech took home first place honors in two categories: best integrated security system and best lighting control project. The awards recognize the top achievements in custom electronic products, services and installations in the home automation industry.
