This guide is made specifically for our own customers. Other conversion systems will have different requirements. With the controllable eControl system, there are some pre-installation requirements that need to be completed before we arrive. Please make sure these are all completed and in place before we arrive. If not, and we can't safely complete the conversion/install, we may need to charge for a 'failed install' and reschedule to the next available date in our diary (usually +3 months).
