Automate your home with a certified electrician today!

Did you know that the 'house of tomorrow' actually exists in the here and now, today? A bath that starts running when you enter the house after a long day at work; music that can be set to play in any room of the house, from any room in the house; a home theatre set up that will have more than just the neighbours drooling. Home automation is about creating smart homes that make your life easier. It really is as simple as that. Using a combination of the latest technology and high speed wi fi you can have multimedia streaming throughout your home and control it all using an iPhone or iPad. You can centralise the controls for your heating, ventilation, air conditioning and appliances improving your comfort, convenience, security and even your energy efficiency. Bring the future to your home, today! Post your home automation job with Service Central for free and get quotes from up to three local certified electricians.

What can home automation do?

control the climate Control the climate in your home. Control the heating, airconditioning and ventilation for every room in your house from a single point. Start the heater going in the bedroom before you head to bed; set the floor tiles in the kitchen to start heating before you wake up in the morning. Make your home a better place to be.

water the garden Water the garden without going outside. Set all your garden watering systems to start and stop watering the plants at specific times, without even venturing outside. Via a central control, you can plan when your plants will get watered and how much. It will help you save time and water!

let the house feed the pets Let the house feed the pets. Your smart home can even feed the pets! Regulating when and how much pets are fed is as simple as pressing a button and configuring a few settings on your central control system. Smart homes are all about making your life easier - but now they can make your pet's life easier too!

customise your home Customise your home to you. Imagine walking into your home and having it automatically detect your presence and set the lighting, music, temperature and general ambience exactly how you like it. This is no longer a 'futuristic' dream. You can have this today! Hire a home automation specialist.

Can a home automation system be installed after the house is built?

While many smart home systems have to be designed and implemented during the building stage, yes, there are 'plug and play' type home automation systems that can be retrofitted into your home. These include technologies such as X10 and Z-Wave.

Can I install a home automation system myself?

While some simple smart home technologies can be implemented 'DIY', it's recommended that you get the advice of a home automation specialist to help you configure everything properly and ensure you're getting the most out of your system. Also it's important to remember that any electrical work must be carried out by a certified professional electrician. Before allowing any electrician to carry out work on your home you should ask to see their license and ensure they have public liability ensurance. Alternatively, post your job with Service Central and our quality assurance system will ensure that only certified electricians contact you.

    Dealing With Oven Issues? Piece Of Cake!

    Did you know that malfunctioning ovens and stoves are a leading cause of electrician call-outs? Electric ovens may have become the norm but many homeowners are remarkably poorly-versed when it comes to solving basic errors in functioning. Ovens which are consistently overheating, ovens which don’t appear to turn on at all, ovens with bust lights or wonky doors and ovens which spread heat to neighbouring kitchen units are all common complaints. Here are three key steps for dealing with your issue.

    50 Shades of Trade - Tradie Pick Up Lines

    His forearms glistened with sweat as his fingers inched closer to their destination. Moving swiftly, forcefully and with precision, he twisted and turned, grunting in concentration. His breath quickened as he thrust his tool further and further into the opening until, with one final push, he emerged drenched in sweat and with a grin. “Looks like that leak’s all fixed up now then, Ms Mitchell.” Does this sound familiar? Never fear – with these handy pick-up lines, you’ll be rustling up a bit of tradie-love in no time at all.
