Top 5 Smart Home Technology Installations for Summer – Our Thoughts at Walkers Electrical Solutions

07/05/25



As summer rolls in across Brentwood and the surrounding areas, there’s no better time to upgrade your home with smart technology. At Walkers Electrical Solutions, we’re always keeping an eye on the latest innovations in smart home systems—and this summer, we’ve picked our top 5 smart home installations that can transform your home into a more efficient, secure, and comfortable space.

Here are our expert recommendations for the best smart home tech to install this summer:


1. Smart Thermostats – Stay Cool, Save Energy

Smart thermostats like Nest and Hive are a must-have in the warmer months. They allow you to control your home’s temperature remotely, learn your routine, and even make automatic adjustments to keep you cool without wasting energy.

Why we recommend it this summer:
With energy bills still high, a smart thermostat can help you manage your cooling system efficiently while staying comfortable—especially when you’re away on holiday or at work.


2. Smart Outdoor Lighting – Brighten Up Your Garden Evenings

With longer evenings and more time spent outdoors, smart outdoor lighting is a perfect summer upgrade. Whether you want motion-activated security lights, soft ambient lighting for a BBQ, or app-controlled garden lights, we can install a solution that suits your style and needs.

Why we recommend it this summer:
Enjoy your outdoor space well into the evening while adding an extra layer of security to your property.


3. Smart Home Security Systems – Peace of Mind While You’re Away

Going on holiday? Protect your home with a professionally installed smart security system. From video doorbells and motion sensors to full CCTV setups, we can help you monitor and secure your home directly from your smartphone—wherever you are.

Why we recommend it this summer:
Summer is a peak time for home break-ins. A smart security system can act as a strong deterrent and give you real-time updates when you’re not at home.


4. Smart Plugs and Switches – Control at Your Fingertips

Smart plugs and switches are simple but powerful additions to your home. Control lamps, fans, or even your coffee machine via an app or voice assistant. Set timers, schedules, or routines with ease—perfect for automating your summer lifestyle.

Why we recommend it this summer:
Whether you’re setting the mood for a summer party or ensuring your fan turns on before bedtime, smart plugs give you convenience and control.


5. Wi-Fi Boosters and Smart Hubs – Stay Connected Everywhere

As more smart devices connect to your home network, having strong, reliable Wi-Fi becomes essential. We can install signal boosters or smart home hubs to keep everything running smoothly—even in garden offices or summerhouses.

Why we recommend it this summer:
With more people working from home or streaming outdoors, reliable Wi-Fi is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.
