Velbus Professional Installer Training

The simple way is NOT TO SELL it and certainly don’t wait for your customers to ask for it.

Don’t even offer it as an option.

Customers will never ask you for a fully wired smart home system, nor will they ask for a connected home system.

They ask you to wire their homes at an affordable price, deploying a Velbus system will do that perfectly.
Provide them with the same functionality as a classic system, purely like for like.

However during the build (or if asked), explain to them that with a digital backbone they are free to adapt their properties at any time, with minimal physical changes.

When you are nearly at completion, drop into conversation the upsell options.

• Would you like voice control of your entire home?
• Would you like remote access to your heating / cooling?
• Instead of simple On  & OFF controls, would you like to set timers to switch things off to save you money?

All of these options have ZERO impact on what you physically install, they are all simple software choices that you can offer for free or charge for.

Velbus strives to maintain pricing comparable to traditional installations, making it a competitive choice. Despite additional functionalities, the basic hardware cost remains on par with classic setups.

Velbus has adhered to a philosophy laid down by Koen Velleman, emphasising close collaboration with installers to ensure a positive initial experience with their product range.

Velbus offers comprehensive support, allowing installers to choose the level of assistance they need, ranging from on-site guidance during initial projects to classroom-based support during the design stage.

Unlike competitors, Velbus’ commitment to personalised assistance leads to fewer instances of customers or installers seeking help on forums, ensuring a smoother experience and higher satisfaction.

Installers tend to stick with Velbus products due to their reliability and the assurance that they can be effectively installed and maintained for years, minimising the need for continuous troubleshooting.

In a centrally wired system, converting a circuit to dimming is as easy as changing the module in the cabinet.

Unlike fitting a dimmer switch, putting the dimming solution in a cabinet means that the load can be dimmed from anywhere, by anything.

A PIR trigger could set a dim level, just as easily as a button.

In fact, with all Velbus PIR solutions, you can set different brightnesses for different times of day.

Well-designed digital systems, like Velbus, often remove many hidden costs in installations. They reduce labour time spent on intricate connections and simplify fault finding, providing a more efficient and cost-effective solution.

Velbus systems save time by minimising complex wiring connections in ceiling roses or behind switch plates. Employing cabinets with centralised wiring and data cables proves more time-efficient than extensive cable routing.

Velbus advocates the use of strategic cabinet placement and common data cables for multi-floor heating distribution, emphasising this approach’s efficiency over extensive cable pulling between floors.

Velbus training sessions stress the benefits of simplified cabinet placement, centralised wiring, and data cable utilisation as efficient alternatives to extensive cable pulling, advocating for labor-saving methods during installations.

Absolutely not.
The Velbus hardware just works, all by itself without any need for internet or servicing.
Obviously voice control or remote access is an extra feature, depending on the software solution used, these might incur a small service charge.

Being a modular system, you only need to buy exactly what is needed.
This also means that the system is very easily expanded, as projects evolve or extra functionality and building extensions are added.

Velbus training sessions come in different forms and styles to accommodate how people prefer to learn.

They all reveal the benefits of simplified cabinet placement, centralised wiring for installation and testing.

How an effective CANbus data (control) cable deployment eliminates hours of cable pulling and jointing.

Explaining labour-saving methods during installations, which all enable the installer to offer simple extras like an “All Off” button or scene setting from any location.

Every course provides explanations of how Velbus can control lighting and heating / cooling from the same interface

Velbus strives to maintain pricing comparable to traditional installations, making it a competitive choice. Despite additional functionalities, the basic hardware cost remains on par with classic setups, when functionality is compared directly.

Not every plumber or electrician has the time or interest in configuring the fancy bells and whistles.

If you don’t want to, don’t do it.

There is a network of commissioning agents who will happily take over an installation and deliver the fancy stuff.

Nothing, absolutely nothing.

Only buy the hardware your projects need.

You won’t get treated any better or worse than the next person.

Absolutely not.
