Smart Home Installation in Cumbria, Lancashire & the North West
Bespoke Smart Home Systems
A smart home should be designed around the way you actually use your property.
For some homes, that might mean elegant lighting scenes, automated blinds and discreet audio. For others, it may include cinema rooms, security, gate control, heating, cooling, Wi-Fi, networking and remote access.
Epixx Systems can design a complete whole-home automation system or start with one area, such as lighting control, audio, networking or security. The aim is always the same: a reliable system that looks clean, works properly and is easy to control.
With so many smart home products and platforms available, good design matters. We help specify the right systems for the property, the budget and the level of control required.
Multi-Room Audio
Multi-room audio allows you to enjoy music, radio and podcasts throughout your home without relying on portable speakers or separate systems in every room.
We can design and install audio systems for kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, cinema rooms, outdoor spaces and entertaining areas. Depending on the project, this may include in-ceiling speakers, in-wall speakers, invisible speakers, outdoor speakers, amplifiers, streaming equipment and local volume control.
Your audio system can be controlled from a smartphone, tablet, touchscreen, keypad or smart home interface. You can play music in one room, group rooms together, adjust volume locally or set different areas of the home to suit how the space is being used.
For larger properties, we can also design the network and equipment rack properly so the system is reliable and easy to support.
Lighting Control & Blinds
Lighting control is one of the most useful parts of a smart home.
Instead of using rows of switches and dimmers, lighting can be controlled through keypads, scenes, schedules, sensors, touchscreens or an app. A single button can set a room for relaxing, cooking, entertaining, watching a film or going to bed.
We can design and install lighting control for individual rooms, open-plan spaces, external lighting, garden areas or full properties. This can include dimming, feature lighting, LED strip lighting, architectural lighting and integration with other smart home systems.
Automated blinds and curtains can also be integrated into the system. They can help with privacy, glare, heat gain and comfort, especially in rooms with large windows, media rooms, bedrooms and open-plan living areas.
For example, a cinema scene could dim the lights, close the blinds and set the room ready to watch, all from one keypad or control device.
Heating & Cooling
Smart heating and cooling control can make your home more comfortable and easier to manage.
We can integrate heating, cooling and environmental controls into a wider smart home system, allowing different rooms or zones to be controlled more intelligently. This may include underfloor heating, radiators, air conditioning, MVHR, heat pumps or other systems depending on the property.
A well-designed control system can allow you to adjust temperatures remotely, create schedules, manage different areas of the home and reduce wasted energy by only heating or cooling the spaces that need it.
We can upgrade existing heating controls where suitable or design new control systems as part of a wider renovation, extension or new-build project.
Wifi & Networking
A smart home is only as reliable as the network behind it.
Poor Wi-Fi, weak data cabling and badly located equipment can make even expensive systems feel unreliable. We design and install home networks that support the technology in the property properly, including Wi-Fi, data points, switches, routers, patch panels, cabinets and structured cabling.
For larger homes, thick walls, extensions, outbuildings and older properties, we can design Wi-Fi coverage around the building rather than relying on a single router.
We can also provide network cabinets, access points, fibre links, remote access and ongoing support where required. This gives your smart home systems, audio, CCTV, TVs, computers and mobile devices a stronger foundation to work from.
Security & Access
Security can form part of a wider smart home installation, giving you better visibility and control over your property.
Epixx Systems can install and integrate CCTV, alarms, gate automation, door entry, access control, security lighting and remote monitoring. This can allow you to view cameras, receive notifications, control gates or doors and monitor selected systems from your phone or smart home interface.
We use professional-grade systems designed for reliability and long-term use. Where suitable, we can also integrate existing CCTV, alarms, gates and access systems into a wider smart home setup.
The result is a more connected security system that is practical to use and properly installed.
Why Choose Epixx Systems?
Epixx Systems is not just a smart gadget installer.
We combine electrical installation, lighting control, audio, home cinema, networking, security and smart home expertise under one roof. This means we can design and install the infrastructure behind the system as well as the visible controls and devices.
That matters because a reliable smart home depends on more than the app. It needs the right cabling, power, network, Wi-Fi, control equipment, rack layout, lighting design and commissioning.
With Epixx Systems, you get one team who can understand the full technical picture and deliver a joined-up installation.
Our Smart Home Installation Process
1
Consultation
We start by discussing what you want from the property, how the home will be used and which systems you would like to control. This may include a site visit, property survey and initial advice on layout, budget and technical options.
2
Design, Installation & Integration
Once we understand the property, we prepare a proposal based on the systems, cabling, equipment, control points and installation requirements. Our team then installs and integrates the agreed system, including lighting control, audio, networking, security, heating control and any connected smart home features.
3
Handover & Support
Once the installation is complete, we test and commission the system, show you how everything works and provide ongoing support if you need help, adjustments or future upgrades.
Smart Home Installation FAQs
What can a smart home control?
A smart home can control many of the systems in your property, including lighting, blinds, audio, TVs, cinema rooms, heating, cooling, CCTV, alarms, gates, access control and energy monitoring.
Do I need to install everything at once?
No. A smart home system can be installed as one complete project or built up in stages.
Can you install smart home systems in existing homes?
Yes. We can install smart home systems in existing homes as well as new builds and renovations.
The approach will depend on the property, cable routes, existing wiring, network coverage and how discreet you want the finished installation to be.
Can smart home systems work in older properties?
Yes. Older properties can benefit from smart home technology, but they need careful design.
Thick walls, limited cable routes and sensitive finishes can affect the best approach. We can advise on the most practical way to add lighting control, Wi-Fi, audio, heating or security without compromising the character of the property.
Do you install Lutron lighting control?
Yes. We install lighting control systems including Lutron, along with other suitable systems depending on the project.
Lighting control can be used for individual rooms, open-plan spaces, external lighting, garden lighting or full properties. It can also be integrated with blinds, cinema rooms and wider smart home control.
Can I control everything from one app?
In many cases, yes. A properly designed smart home can bring different systems together so they are controlled from an app, touchscreen, remote or keypad.
We will advise on the best control method based on the systems being installed and how you want to use the property.
Can you integrate CCTV, gates and alarms?
Yes. We can install and integrate CCTV, alarms, gate automation, door entry and access control as part of a wider smart home system.
This can allow remote access, notifications, camera viewing and selected controls from your phone or smart home interface.
