Home automation is increasingly installed in new buildings, but it can be problematic, especially because of faulty installation and operation.
Home automation can cover both air conditioning and energy efficiency, by controlling a home’s temperature (heating/cooling), awnings and automatic blinds, automatic opening and closing of doors and windows, household appliances, and security to detect intruders, etc.
Can I claim for home automation after the property has been handed over to me?
It can be claimed within 3 years of completion of the dwelling’s construction.
If the home automation installation is deficient, however hard you try to synchronise certain installations in your home, such as the air conditioning, heating or electric blinds, they cause problems and are more of a nuisance than a help. In that case, we recommend that you claim.
To claim for the home automation, an expert report must be carried out, including a report from a company specialising in these systems.
What solutions can you offer me for a home automation claim?
The solutions, from a technical point of view, will be set out in the expert report. From a legal point of view, our legal department will prepare a claim for repair of the home automation system in your home, or for compensation for the cost of repairing it.
Since the time limit for claims is only 3 years, there is no reason to delay the claim.
