“Installing one and looking at my own home and figuring out how that was going to work. It was really good practice on how you would do it for a customer”
“It was great because there’s no rush or time factor. With a customer that’s slightly different.”
“Now I have confidence that I’ve got one running in my own property, that I have 24/7 experience of. So when I am speaking to people, I can now speak from personal experience of using it myself.”
