Home network installation cost guide

With remote working and Zoom calls playing a larger part in our lives than any of us could have imagined, having a fast and reliable internet connection has never been so important. Let’s face it, even when we’re winding down from work, the last thing any of us wants is our TV buffering or that hilarious YouTube clip failing to load. With that in mind, we’ve put together a guide to cover the average home network installation cost.

A professional network installation company will be able to design and implement a network that works for you. Let’s face it: how many of us really know the difference between ethernet or token-ring networks? Or ISDN, ADSL or lease-lined connections? By leaving it to the experts, you can enjoy a better internet connection without the stress of sifting through endless options.

Home network installation cost

It costs on average between £150 and £200 for a home network installation company to design and implement a network in your home.

Your total home network installation cost will vary depending on whether or not the network is wireless. The services included can differ but they often include things such as cable installation, internet access and configuration and hardware and software installation. Once your home network has been set up, you can normally expect your internet connection to become faster and more reliable.

How much does it cost to install ethernet through the house?

One of the main problems with wireless networks is that they often struggle to cover the whole house.

This is especially the case if your home is particularly large. For example, if your router is downstairs but your home office is located two floors up, your signal is likely to be very weak. This is likely to be slowing your internet down.

Even small houses can get WIFI blackspots, especially if they use modern foil insulation. If you install ethernet through your house, on the other hand, you can combat this.

There are options to suit a range of budgets. But ultimately, if slow internet is affecting your day-to-day life, the cost to run ethernet cables through the house will probably be worth it. The overall cost to install ethernet in your home will be around £150 – £200 but will depend on the size of your house and how complex the wiring is.
