We're looking at getting smart lighting, heating control and some automated blinds installed throughout the house. What does a full smart home setup typically cost including labour?

"Hi there,

We are specialists in affordable smart homes. If you have a smart ready rewire it can cost between ten to twenty percent more expensive. You can then add smart devices as you go.

The best way is to go with home assistant and zigbee devices.

I hope this helps"

"The cost of a full smart home installation can vary significantly depending on the size of the property, the products chosen and whether any rewiring is required.

As a rough guide:

• Smart heating controls: £200–£600 installed
• Smart lighting: £50–£150 per circuit/room depending on the system
• Automated blinds: £300–£1,000+ per window supplied and fitted
• Whole-home smart integration: typically £2,000–£10,000+ for an average family home

For a typical 3–4 bedroom property looking to add smart lighting, heating controls and several automated blinds, a realistic budget is often between £3,000 and £8,000 including labour.

The best option is to arrange a survey so the system can be tailored to your requirements and compatibility with any existing smart devices can be checked.

"Hi,

Thanks for your enquiry.

A full smart home system can vary considerably depending on the property size and the level of automation you’re looking for, but I’d be happy to help you put together the right solution.

The best next step would be for me to get a better understanding of the property and your goals for the system. If it’s convenient, you can either send over a quick video walkthrough of the house or we can arrange a site visit.

From there, I can recommend suitable options for the lighting, heating and blinds, explain the features available, and provide an accurate quotation based on your requirements.

My focus is always on making sure the system is reliable, easy to use, and future-proof should you want to expand it later.

Let me know what works best for you and we’ll take it from there.

Kind regards,
Chris"
