Before you venture into the realm of smart homes, it’s paramount that you find yourself in capable hands. That’s right – it’s time to assess the credentials of smart home installers.
Make a list, check it twice, and ensure that your installer has the necessary certifications such as CEDIA or ISO 9001:2015. These guarantee that your installer knows their smart home technologies inside out. Look for other qualifications and accreditations, too – they’re a testament to the installer’s commitment, skill, and expertise in the smart home installations realm.

Having verified the credentials, the next step is to delve into the experiences of others who have embarked on the smart home journey ahead of you. Customer testimonials and ratings are like a crystal ball, giving you insight into the installer’s reputation, quality of work, and customer satisfaction.
When sifting through reviews, keep an eye out for factors such as:
service quality
customer contentment
reliability
efficiency
communication
responsiveness
whether the installer delivers a bang for your buck
And don’t forget to look for mentions of insurance and certifications – because even experts can make mistakes!

Prior to launching your smart home adventure, confirming that your installer possesses proper insurance coverage is imperative. You want your living room to be magical, not a liability!
Professional indemnity insurance is like a safety net for your installer, covering any goof-ups, omissions, or negligence that could result in financial loss or damage. Public liability insurance, on the other hand, is like a protective shield around the installation process, guarding against any potential hiccups that may occur.
To double-check that you’re covered, ask your installer for proof of insurance, review the policies, and contact the insurance provider directly. By taking these steps, you can rest assured that you’re in safe hands during the installation process.
John Ross Smart Living have a comprehensive insurance policy covering all aspects of the work we provide such as professional indemnity, public liability, employers liability and more. We know it’s solid – we work with the best broker in Perth!
Having come this far, there remains more to discover about your potential smart home installer. This is the stage to pose specific enquiries regarding their expertise, experience, and how well-acquainted they are with the latest technologies and products.
Smart home installers should be like resident geniuses, well-versed in all types of smart home systems, devices, and hubs. For example, New Wave AV offers top-notch smart home technologies from Lutron, Control4, Artcoustic, Kaleidescape, and Sony.
We are experts in Control4 and it is our preferred partner in all smart home installations in Perth and Scotland.
Remember to enquire about the installer’s experience with specific products and brands, as this will give you confidence in their ability to create a seamless smart home system for you.
Your smart home should mirror your individuality, hence finding an installer who delivers personalised solutions to match your needs, preferences, and budget is fundamental to achieving a central point of control and convenience.
