Servicing Central Otago Innovative automation solutions Cromwell-based electrical expert Andrew Tall has added ‘Smart Home’ automation to his business portfolio, creating innovative solutions for high-end clients. If you visited his impressive home you would understand why he has such a passion for the industry. Smart home technology is everywhere now – but not all systems are created equal. Many rely heavily on Wi Fi, apps and cloud services that date quickly or become unreliable. That’s where Andrew Tall Automated Living is different. Based in Central Otago and backed by the experience of his primary business - Andrew Tall Electrical Ltd, the team designs and delivers hard wired KNX home automation systems that are robust, exible and built to last. “We like our systems to feel simple for the homeowner, even though there’s a lot going on in the background. You shouldn’t have to be ‘good with technology’ to enjoy a smart home.” Built on local knowledge, innovative design, and a commitment to creating homes that are beautiful, ef cient, and ready for the future, his quali ed electricians handle all aspects of residential and commercial work, including new builds, renovations, rewires and upgrades. They work closely with homeowners, builders and designers to ensure every job is done right. From lighting plans to data cabling, they provide clean, code-compliant electrical solutions with a smart, future-focused edge. Multi-room audio systems are the most popular request from clients, but they also specialise in home theatres, CCTV security systems and integrated solar and energy systems. He just nished creating a Smart Home solution for a client in Christchurch - all designed and programmed from his of ce in Cromwell - working in with the electricians onsite via live video. For those who are serious about Smart Home solutions, Andrew invites clients to his personal house to see for themselves exactly what can be done. He can control everything from the covers of his new swimming pool and the lighting, right through to the music playing in every room of the house. His pool also runs off solar power so it doesn’t cost a cent to run, and any excess is used over winter to run the heat pumps inside. Andrew said the industry has come a long way in recent years as technology has become more advanced, and so he’s excited to grow his automation business even more.
