Smart controls and Wi-Fi upgrades across County Durham
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 Durham. Smart control is a simple upgrade for Durham homes with a working system but no app. Cold, windy North East winters favour a well-sized heat pump with an outdoor unit sheltered from the prevailing wind.
Prices in County Durham
Guide prices around County Durham run from £85 to £270 per indoor unit including VAT. Labour rates in North East England keep this slightly under the national middle. More indoor units, or older models that need an infrared controller instead of a plug-in adapter, are what move the price. For reference, the Whole system option in County Durham (modules for two to four indoor units, one app) usually comes to about £225–£545.

Permissions
No planning or refrigerant work is involved in adding app control. If you rent your home in County Durham, a quick word with your landlord is still sensible before anything is fitted.
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. We agree the visit price before we come. On the day the engineer checks the system, carries out the agreed work and talks you through anything they find.
