Can an existing house be automated without hacking the walls?
Yes. Depending on site conditions and what the owner wants, a small job can be finished within a day.
How disruptive is a retrofit?
Less than most owners expect. Tekovate retrofits finished homes in Melaka without hacking walls, and a small scope can be completed within a day. A whole-house job runs about a week on site with a team of around three, and day-to-day life in the house is barely disrupted while it happens.
Is a retrofit worse than wiring it in from new?
It has fewer options, not worse results. Wiring from new lets more of the system be hidden in the structure. A retrofit works around what is already built, which is exactly why the Tekovate site visit comes before the quotation, in Melaka and across Malaysia.
Can you start with one room?
Yes. Planning the whole home first is best, but a single room is a valid starting point, and Tekovate designs the first room so later ones join the same system cleanly.
