Smart controls and Wi-Fi upgrades in Reading
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. Most home systems from the last decade can take a plug-in Wi-Fi adapter, and we confirm yours from the model number before visiting Reading.
Smart control is a simple upgrade for Reading homes with a working system but no app. Reading is one of the main towns we cover in Berkshire, alongside Slough and Bracknell. Postcode districts we cover here include RG1, RG6 and RG30.
Prices in Reading
For Reading, expect roughly £115 to £360 per indoor unit, VAT included, adjusted for typical South East England rates. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting South East England labour rates and parking and access costs. More indoor units, or older models that need an infrared controller instead of a plug-in adapter, are what move the price. As an example, the Whole system option (modules for two to four indoor units, one app) would typically be £300–£745 here.

Wi-Fi module fitted and set up for one indoor unit.

Permissions
Fitting a Wi-Fi module does not touch the refrigerant circuit and needs no planning permission; the only checks are model compatibility and a reliable signal at the indoor unit.
The visit
A photo of the indoor unit's label and a short description of the problem help us price the visit accurately and bring what is likely to be needed. Before booking, tell us the make and model and what the system is doing. We confirm the visit price, then the engineer arrives with the right equipment and, where possible, the right parts.
