    Aaron was recommended by a colleague of mine to install a camera system at my property. From the moment he arrived at my home he was polite, hard working and very respectful of my property. His knowledge of the system he was installing was excellent. He took his time to show me all the features and system settings several times until I was comfortable using it. He goes above and beyond to achieve the very highest workmanship.

    Home tech questions

    Do I need to rewire my house for a smart home?

    No. Most smart lighting and heating works with your existing wiring. Where we do run new cables, for example for a control panel or a wired doorbell, it is done neatly and made good. The one thing we strongly recommend is a decent network, because that is what every smart device depends on.

    Can you make different brands work together?

    Usually yes. Hue, Nest, Ring, Sonos, Tado and most other mainstream brands can be brought into Alexa, Google Home or Apple Home. Where something is a dead end, we will tell you before you buy it rather than after.

    Will the light switches still work?

    Yes. We either fit smart switches or smart modules behind your existing switches, so the wall works as it always did and the app is an extra, not a replacement. Nobody in the house has to change how they use the lights.

    What happens if the internet goes down?

    Lights, heating and locks carry on working locally. You lose remote control from outside the house until the connection comes back.

    How much does a smart home install cost in Kent?

    It depends on the rooms and the devices, so every project is priced after a free visit. A single room is a modest job, a whole house with lighting, heating and security is quoted with a written plan. You will always know the price before anything is ordered.

    Do you do call outs?

    Yes. In normal business hours, Monday to Saturday 7am to 6pm, a call out is £75 plus £30 an hour. Out of hours, 7pm to 6am and all day Sunday, it is £95 plus £40 an hour. Free quotes are separate and carry no charge.

    Is the quote really free?

    Yes. Free quotes within two business days, with the warranty for each system stated in the quote.
