Frequently asked questions

How long does a full smart home installation typically take?

A basic smart setup can often be completed in a few days, but a full-home integration for a large residential or commercial property typically takes two to four weeks. This timeline depends on the complexity of the wiring and the number of devices being integrated.

Can smart technology be installed in an older property?

Yes, we specialise in retrofitting smart technology into existing properties. While new builds allow for easier cabling, we use a combination of wireless protocols and discreet wiring to ensure older buildings benefit from modern automation without disrupting original features.

Is this service available for commercial buildings?

Absolutely. We provide robust solutions for commercial offices and retail spaces, focusing on automated lighting, HVAC control, and high-level security. These systems are designed to handle higher user volumes and more complex scheduling than standard residential setups.

Is the software difficult to operate once installed?

We prioritise user-friendly interfaces. Most systems are controlled via a simple app on your phone, a wall-mounted touch screen, or even voice commands. During handover, we provide a full walkthrough to ensure you are comfortable managing every feature.

What kind of warranty or support is provided?

All our installations come with a standard manufacturer warranty on hardware and a workmanship guarantee on the installation itself. We also offer ongoing maintenance packages to ensure your software remains updated and the system runs smoothly over time.
