Modern homes are complex systems - heating, ventilation, networking, AV and automation, all affecting each other. I work across them, often alongside the tradespeople you already have on the job, solving the problems that arise where the trades meet.
All work starts with a fixed-price diagnosis. Project prices are agreed upfront - you always know the cost before we begin.
Problems that involve multiple systems can be hard to pin down, because they cross several trades at once. I map the root cause - whether it's hiding in electrical, heating, networking or automation - and give you a clear action plan you can act on yourself or hand straight to your tradesperson.
Fixed diagnosis feeFrom acoustic analysis to finished installation - picture, sound and control designed as one coherent system. With a background in acoustics, this isn't merely equipment installation but engineering that optimises room and technology together.
Project priceHome Assistant-based smart home without cloud dependency or vendor lock-in. Your systems - heating, lighting, security and AV - integrated into one locally-run interface that actually works, and that you own and understand.
Fixed project priceA modern home is a network with many critical devices. I design and implement infrastructure that is stable, secure and scalable - tailored to your home's geometry, wall construction and specific speed and coverage requirements.
Analysis + project priceDistrict heating, heat pumps and ventilation optimised for efficiency and comfort. Many homes pay far more than necessary - I find the gaps using data-driven methods and close them with concrete adjustments and balancing.
Analysis + optimisationConsidering a major renovation, system upgrade or new installation? Get an independent technical assessment you can bring to your tradespeople. I'll help you ask the right questions - and understand the answers you get.
Fixed advisory feeBehind MWest is Simon Westenholz, B.Eng. in electrical engineering from DTU with a focus on acoustics and many years of practical experience across home system disciplines.
My focus is the whole: I see a home as one connected technical system, where heating, networking, sound and automation all affect each other. That makes me a natural complement to the skilled tradespeople who each handle their own discipline - I bring the threads together when a solution needs an overview across them.
My approach is always holistic. The heating system affects the humidity balance which affects the acoustics which affects comfort. The network carries the automation system that controls the heating. I see the connection - and solve the problem at its root.
“The best solutions live where the trades meet - that's where I work.”
Fixed prices on everything. No hourly rate. No open-ended invoices.
