Yes. Baulogic is specifically designed to be installed by any qualified electrician, with no specialist integrator or programming required. The system arrives pre-configured and ready to connect, and most electricians can learn the installation process within an hour.
Traditionally, home automation required specialist integrators with years of training in proprietary systems. These integrators charged premium rates and often needed multiple visits to a property to programme and fine-tune the installation. For many electricians, home automation was a market they could not access because the technology demanded knowledge far beyond standard electrical work.
This is changing. Pre-configured home automation systems like Baulogic are designed specifically so that a qualified electrician can carry out the full installation without specialist training. According to the Electrical Contractors Association (ECA), demand for connected home installations grew by 34% between 2022 and 2024, creating a significant opportunity for electricians who can offer this service.
With a Baulogic system, the installation follows the same workflow as a standard electrical fit-out. During the first fix stage, the electrician runs structured cabling alongside the regular mains wiring, following a clear cabling plan provided with each project. This cabling connects lighting circuits, heating zones, blind motors, and any other integrated systems back to a central location, typically a plant room or utility cupboard.
During the second fix, the electrician installs the control devices, keypads, sensors, and the central processing unit. Because every Baulogic system is pre-configured off-site to match the exact layout and requirements of the property, there is no on-site programming needed. The electrician connects the hardware, powers up the system, and it is ready to use.
The entire process can be learned within an hour. Baulogic provides detailed documentation and support for every project, so the electrician always has a clear reference for the installation.
For electricians, being able to install home automation opens up a new revenue stream. The connected home market in the UK is projected to grow to £8.2 billion by 2027, according to Statista. Electricians who can offer automation installation alongside standard electrical work are well positioned to win contracts on premium new-build developments where developers want to include connected home technology.
Baulogic also offers a referral programme for electricians. When an electrician identifies a project, whether it is a self-build, a small development, or a renovation, and connects the client with Baulogic, they earn a referral fee. This creates an additional income stream without any upfront investment.
For property developers, using a standard electrician rather than a specialist integrator means lower installation costs and simpler project management. There is no need to coordinate a separate trades team for the technology, and the electrical contractor already on site can handle the full installation.
For self-builders, this approach makes home automation accessible and affordable. Rather than budgeting for expensive specialist labour, the same electrician wiring the house can install the automation system. This keeps the project simpler and avoids the scheduling complications that come with bringing in additional specialists.
A 2024 survey by the Federation of Master Builders found that 71% of self-builders cited cost and complexity as the main barriers to including home automation. Systems that can be installed by a standard electrician directly address both of those concerns.
