What Balmain East homes need
Every suburb has its own constraints. These are the ones that shape most of the work we see in and around Balmain East.
- Big glass facing the water, where automated blinds manage afternoon glare and heat, then privacy after dark. More
- Heritage conservation controls that limit external change and favour discreet in-wall control over visible hardware. More
- Narrow terraces with party walls and little ceiling space, where cable paths are planned room by room. More
- Apartment buildings where work goes through the building manager, and the intercom and access system belong to the building. More

Smart homes in Balmain East: common questions
Do you work in Balmain East?
Yes. We design, install and service systems in Balmain East and the surrounding suburbs, from our base on the Northern Beaches.
Can blinds in a Balmain East home follow the sun?
Yes. Blinds can close by time, sun position or temperature, and open again for the view. They're usually part of the same scenes as the lighting.
Can you automate a heritage home in Balmain East without damaging it?
Yes. We plan cable paths around original fabric, use existing voids and chases, and choose keypads that sit comfortably in period interiors. Where cabling truly isn't possible, reliable wireless devices fill the gap.

$330 to attend, including the first hour on site, then $198 an hour in 30 minute blocks. All prices include GST.
