Smart home installation in Stevenage

Convenient, and done safely

Off-the-shelf smart gadgets are easy to buy but easy to get wrong. We make sure the wiring behind them is right, so switches have a neutral where they need one, circuits are not overloaded, and everything is tested before we hand it over.

Whether you want to start with a single room or automate the whole house, we will advise on the best setup and keep it simple to use.

Why we install Loxone

Most smart gadgets solve one job each and come with their own app, so a house full of them ends up as a drawer full of remotes with extra steps. Loxone takes the opposite approach: one Miniserver runs lighting, heating, blinds, security and audio as a single system with a single app, and because the core functions are hardwired, everything keeps working even when the internet does not.

As an official Loxone Partner we are trained on the system and handle the whole project in-house: the design, the wiring, the programming and the handover. And because BES Electric has been installing electrics since 2011, the cabling underneath is done to the same NAPIT approved, BS 7671 standard as everything else we fit.

What you can automate

The everyday wins are lighting scenes that match the time of day, heating that follows each room’s schedule rather than one thermostat in the hall, and blinds that shade rooms automatically in summer. Away from home, presence simulation replays your normal lighting patterns, and the alarm can flash every light in the house if a sensor triggers.

You do not have to do everything at once. Many customers start with lighting in a kitchen or a living-room extension and grow the system as they redecorate, and we can plan the wiring for that from day one.

What smart home systems can you install?

As an official Loxone Partner we design and program complete Loxone smart homes, and also install smart lighting, dimmers and switches, smart heating and thermostats, doorbells and cameras, and app or voice control with systems such as Alexa, Google Home and Hive.

What makes Loxone different from off-the-shelf smart gadgets?

Loxone runs the whole home from one Miniserver: lighting, heating, blinds, security and audio in a single app, with most functions hardwired so they keep working even if your internet goes down. As an official Loxone Partner we design, wire and program the system for you.

Do smart home installations need certifying?

Any fixed wiring we install or alter is tested and certified to BS 7671, the same as any other electrical work, so your smart system is safe as well as convenient.

Can you add smart devices to my existing wiring?

In most cases, yes. We can fit smart switches, sockets and lighting to existing circuits, and advise where a neutral wire or extra cabling is needed for a reliable setup.

How much does a smart home installation cost?

It depends on the number of rooms, whether the system is wired or wireless, and how much you want to automate. You can start with a single room and expand later, and every project begins with a free, no-obligation quote.
