Pricing guide

Price variation is primarily driven by whether the job is a straightforward replacement or a new/relocated installation that needs extra wiring and trenching. Smart upgrades usually increase materials and add time for Wi‑Fi and app configuration, while incompatible valves or the need for new electrical circuits can further increase scope. After‑hours attendance or difficult access may also affect the final cost.

  • Wiring and trenching requirements

    Significant new conduit runs or trenching increase labour and materials compared with a like‑for‑like swap.

  • Controller type and features

    Upgrading to a Wi‑Fi or smart controller typically needs higher materials allowance and extra time for network and app setup.

  • Valve compatibility and additional parts

    If existing valves are incompatible or need replacement, extra wiring, valves or adapters may be required.

  • Need for a licensed electrician

    Installing or altering new 240V circuits usually requires a licensed electrician and their costs are separate from the controller work.

  • Access and mounting location

    Relocating the controller or working in hard‑to‑reach areas generally increases time on site and complexity.
