About Us

Scott Andrew – Director

Easy Living Home Automation was born out of a personal experience.  As a young man, watching my grandfather’s declining health. I often thought about ways to make my grandfather’s life more comfortable by making sure he had access to the latest technologies of the time to assist with his mobility.

Now that my parents are dealing with declining health, my mission is to enable my parents to stay in the family home they have lived in since 1979. The constantly evolving technology of a Smart Home facilitates my parent’s ability to live a comfortable and safe lifestyle without added stress.

Over the 14 years that I have been an A grade electrician in my own business and while working on many houses, I have noticed that people’s lifestyles have become more hectic leaving them time poor for leisure activities.

Some years ago, while doing the wiring on a new build, I noted the builder had hired a Home Automation company to do the design, but an electrician had to be bought in to complete the wiring. I identified this was a disjointed process and recognised the need for a more seamless process.

I started Easy Living Home Automation to take the difficulty out of making your home a Smart Home with a seamless, one point of contact, that takes responsibility for all design, installation and co-ordination of your Smart Home project from start to completion.

I believe that you deserve access to the convenience and efficiency of home automation regardless of your situation.

Easy Living Home Automation is based in Macleod, VIC and services all of metro Melbourne and regional Victoria.

Janet Hair – Sales and Marketing Manager

Prior to joining Easy Living Home Automation, I worked for an electricity and gas energy retailer for 12 years performing many roles from Call Centre Consultant, Team Manager and finally a Workplace Trainer.

It was during my time as a call centre consultant that my enthusiasm for advising customers how to better manage their energy usage grew. From talking to multiple customers daily I recognised how important energy management and efficiency of appliances is to customers in order for them to save money on their utility bills.

With the resources available to me I developed skills to expertly assist customers to better manage their energy usage from advice on running costs to helping them to conduct their own home energy audit.

As a result I moved into a training role in order to share my passion and train other consultants in energy management and how to better assist their customers.

Working at Easy Living Home Automation has increased my passion for enabling our customers to run their households in the most energy efficient way possible with the extra benefits of shaving usage off their electricity bill and simplifying their lifestyle.
