What Clients Say
Design-led installs, clean handovers, and support that resolves issues quickly.
"First contacted Adam as the WiFi in our home was terrible and I had seen Hurst First came recommended. I contacted them on WhatsApp and immediately Matt got back to me to arrange for Adam to come and take a look. Adam gave great advice and talked me through the whole process. Very reasonable price and work was quick and efficient, what a great team they make. Very happy with the service received and two super happy teenagers in the house now 👍"
"Adam Hurst turned out to be a ‘rockstar’. Exceptional knowledge and diligent implementation. He was solution oriented from the start and designed a setup which utilized all of my existing routers, saving me the dhs I was otherwise going to spend to buy more hardware. He also continues to provide great after sales service and is willing to make a repeat visit without charge to make some configuration tweaks. Thanks so much guys for this great recommendation. I’ll be glad to pass it forward."
"Hurst First did a brilliant job sorting out the tech in my old Ranches villa. Extremely knowledgeable and really lovely team too. Now have speedy fast WiFi throughout and no holes anywhere. Highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻"

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often.
How much does professional WiFi installation in Dubai cost?
Pricing depends on property size, construction type, and the number of access points. We provide a scoped proposal after a quick assessment or site visit.
Do you install smart home automation in UAE villas and apartments?
Yes. We design smart home automation for villas and apartments across the UAE, including Control4, KNX and Lutron systems tailored to daily routines.
Can you improve WiFi in concrete Dubai apartments?
Absolutely. We plan access point placement, cabling routes, and signal overlap to overcome heavy concrete construction and deliver stable coverage.
Mesh WiFi: what is it and do I need it?
Mesh WiFi promises seamless whole-home coverage, but in the UAE it often underperforms due to concrete walls blocking the wireless backhaul between nodes. For reliable results, we use mesh hardware connected via Ethernet cabling, combining the convenience of mesh with the stability of a wired backbone.
Do you service AV systems in Dubai Marina homes?
Yes. We design, install, and support AV systems in Dubai Marina, including home cinema, multi-room audio, and streaming setups.
What is included in a smart home and lighting setup in Dubai?
We plan automation, lighting control, and integrations, then deliver installation, configuration, and documented handover with support options.
Do you support systems you did not install?
We prioritize systems we design and install, but we can assist with third-party systems when feasible after an assessment.
How quickly can you schedule WiFi troubleshooting in Dubai?
We start with remote diagnostics where possible. If a site visit is required, we schedule the earliest available slot based on urgency and access.
Do you offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC)?
Yes. We offer AMC plans for ongoing support, proactive health checks, priority response, and preferred pricing on hardware. AMC is required for third-party or mixed systems.
Can you install security cameras and access control in Dubai?
Yes. We design and install camera systems with proper coverage planning, clean cabling, and secure remote viewing. We also handle access control and smart locks with integration into automation systems where needed.
Do you require a minimum project value?
Apartment WiFi installations start from AED 1,600. Villa projects typically start from AED 2,500. We provide a detailed scope and pricing after assessment or consultation.
How long does installation take?
Simple WiFi upgrades: 1-2 days. Full smart home integrations: 1-2 weeks depending on scope and system complexity. We provide detailed timelines in all proposals.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we offer staged payment terms for larger projects. Payment structure is outlined in all proposals before work begins.
