We have used AV Connect several times over the past few years. If you are considering having any kind of audio/visual or home automation work preformed, save yourself the trouble of using some fly by night company or a squad of right out of high school kids. I dont even bother calling other companies for quotes anymore. AV connect always ask a fair price and they will discuss any changes with you upfront. I have and will continue to recommend them to friends and family. Very honest company and very good employees that truly wants to make their customers happy.
The first time we called them was to hang a TV over our fireplace 3 years ago. The installer took the time to run the wires in the wall and made it look like the builders had planned for the TV to be there from the beginning. He even sold me a TV bracket that saved us over $100 from the one I had bought at a local retailer, which soon got it returned to them. While he was pulling the wires through the walls he suggested that I let him add some network wires for future features that he had read were in the works. I agreed and sure enough, it paid off when we upgraded recently to a 3D plasma TV that had a jack for a network connection. It is nice to know that these guys have enough interest in what they do that they are up to date on current and future technology.
Since our first TV install, we have had AV Connect come back and do several other projects. They installed in-ceiling whole house audio so we can listen to background music or the game anywhere in the house without it blasting out of the two speakers in the TV. They also installed a home automation system including a camera so we can control our lights and see what is happening at home from our smart cell phones. I can even open and close my garage door from my cell. AV Connect has also installed additional phone wires, network cables and most recently an IR repeater system so I can control my TV/Stereo from anywhere in the room.
The biggest project we had AV connect do was to install a complete home theater with HD projector and surround sound system. I talked to Travis and we discussed how much I could afford and what was important to me. He recommended all the equipment and we scheduled the install. After a few days of work we had a home theater that would rival just about anything out there, including a raised floor with bass transducers that actually vibrate the seats when there are explosions and other loud noises. The project came in under budget and looks better than I ever imagined. I thought I had heard and seen a properly configured home theater before, but after AV Connect spent several hours just fine tuning the equipment to get the best sound and picture out of it, I realized that just having good equipment doesnt mean you are experiencing the best sound and picture. The difference is truly in the installer.
