Home Automation & Smart Home

Homes Are Getting Smarter

Smart home systems have revolutionised the way that we manage simple things like turning on the heating or lights, to how we consume news and get the weather forecast. The thought of controlling such things from our smartphone – or just using our voice – may have been unthinkable 20 years ago, but it’s now the reality for millions of people around the world.

From Nest’s suite of smart home products – including thermostat, doorbell and smoke detector – to the Amazon Alexa and Google Home smart speakers, it’s clear that smart technologies are making many tasks around the home easier and more efficient. At Mr. Electric, we can advise on the best home automation solutions for your property and assist with their installation.

Smart Home Installation Made Easy

Mr. Electric is proud to be part of the Nest Pro scheme, which recognises us as a preferred installer of Nest products. We also install Nest products on behalf of HomeServe. To date, we have assisted thousands of homes across the UK with the installation of Nest Thermostats, as well as its various other products. Here’s a summary of what Nest can offer:

Nest Thermostat – This smart thermostat can sit anywhere in your home and boasts a slick visual display, as well as an array of other features, including schedules based on your heating behaviour and notifications on how to reduce energy costs. Like all smart devices, it can be controlled from the palm of your hand.

Nest Protect – A smart smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detector, the Nest Protect contains a split-spectrum smoke sensor that can detect slow and fast fires. Using its app silence features, you can silence the alarm using your smartphone, and it can also tell the difference between smoke and steam.

Nest Hello – Mr. Electric can help you install this smart doorbell, which contains a High Dynamic Range (HDR) camera with a 160-degree field of view, allowing you to see who’s stood at your front door and what package they’re carrying. With its person and facial detection features, it can notify you whether or not it’s someone you know.

Nest Cam – Nest also offers a range of indoor and outdoor security cameras to UK homeowners, which can be installed by one of our experienced technicians. They include features such as night vision, 24/7 live streaming, motion and sound alerts, and a microphone and speaker that allows for video conversations.

We can also assist with the installation of smart home products from other leading suppliers including Tado, Netamo, Cosy and Ring, all of whom offer products to suit a whole range of budgets.
