About Us

Who we are and what we do

A desire to deliver uncomplicated, elegant solutions that improve customers’ lives was the foundation on which Matt and Angela Slater set up EAV in 2013. They strongly believe that a fully connected house that makes best use of current and future technologies improves life for the entire household.

This ethos combined with a focus on open, responsive relationships has resulted in steady, structured company growth in a competitive electrical and home technology market.

Seeing the smiles on customers’ faces when they witness their new smart home system in use for the first time is what gets the EAV team out of bed in the mornings.

"Fantastic Service! We recently used EAV to install some lighting, alarm system & TV aerial. Their team couldn't be faulted. The guys took great care ensuring our home was well protected before cutting any holes, even vacuuming up after themselves.
It was a big day & the guys had no problem sticking it out until after 6pm to get the job completed, which was greatly appreciated. We will certainly be using them again in the future."
