System recovery

Bringing an old system back to life

Whether it's a case of the company that originally installed your system no longer being around, or perhaps you have purchased a property with an existing system, but there are no records of who installed it or maintains it. Whatever the reason, we may be able to help.

 Revisiting an old system can be daunting but we are here to help.

We have a set number of requirements that a system needs to allow us to properly support and maintain it. So whilst it is unlikely that your old system checks all of these boxes we can certainly explain what remedial actions need to be taken to allow us to support you going forwards.

We would survey the system and create a report of recommendations, which would take into account any immediate issues you have, but also explain what potential upgrades or advances are now available since the initial system was installed.

TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials

“From initial concept through to aftercare, every detail and interaction has been beyond our expectations. The team produced great ideas on what would work best for our needs and were always realistic on cost and timeframes. The project came in on time and on budget, and every person we dealt with was knowledgeable and professional in every way. We have also been really impressed by the aftercare – responses are dealt with promptly and in the rare event that there is a problem, they will always go the extra mile to ensure that this is solved with minimum disruption. I couldn’t recommend Intuitive Homes any higher.

“Working alongside Intuitive Homes for many years, we have such a respect for Stephen and the team that we use them without question. They just go the extra mile in terms of professionalism and personal interest in a project and I’m consistently impressed by Stephen’s industry knowledge and instincts on what the next big thing will be.

Andy Butler - Cria Construction

“ When it came to handover, we were blown away with the results. Everything works seamlessly together from the lighting to music and being able to watch whatever we want in every room. We love the ability to control everything intuitively and if there are any upgrades or updates needed, the guys are quick to come and sort it for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Intuitive Homes they really know the business inside out.”

Mr Connolly - residential client

“ They spent time onsite listening to our requirements and needs, as well as guiding us through all the possibilities available to us, whilst taking into account budget and time constraints and we have always found the work carried out to be professional, clearing up after themselves, being available on the phone and remotely to help rectify some issues etc”

“Working with Intuitive Homes has been fantastic throughout. It is always of utmost importance to us that the aesthetics of the home are not compromised by the technology installed. Stephen and the team work hard to deliver systems that are not only simple and easy to use but that seamlessly integrate within the design of the home. They really care about the details and are reliable and great communicators, which is essential on large projects. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them in future”

MR STOTT - RESIDENTIAL CLIENT

“ Their team delivered a product that enhances our lifestyles with easy access to everything from security to heating, lighting, and entertainment. The system also adapts to outside events, and we have surprising control with handheld remotes that adapt to whatever we're doing. The whole process was effortless with sound recommendations and great problem-solving skills. That's great service.”

  • DOCUMENTATION

    In an ideal world, you would have a full set of documentation for the original installation with points drawings, schematics, cable schedules and all of the equipment connection details however, we realise that more often than not this isn't the case. But don’t worry, we can create all these things for you which will make maintenance and future works a lot easier.

  • SURVEYS

    Unless there is significant remodelling being done, it is likely that the one part of the installation that we don't have a choice in would be the infrastructure cabling. As such, we would look to fully test out and certify that existing cabling so we can rule out any issues before anything else is done.

  • PROGRAMMING

    As with the documentation, we find that homeowners are hardly ever given the custom programming that was created for their smart home or lighting control system. Depending on the system in question, it may be possible to recover that programming from the system itself which would avoid the need to program everything again from scratch. More modern systems use cloud based storage for backups of the program, so if it is a more recent install, there is more chance that we can get hold of the program.

  • DON'T START FROM SCRATCH

    Despite when you might get told it’s hardly ever a case of needing to rip everything out and start again but we will give an honest appraisal of what equipment should be kept and what would benefit from an upgrade.
