Should You Hire a Professional for Your Dedicated Home Theater?

Whether remodelling an existing space or constructing a new home (and home theater), you’re going to want to work with a custom AV sales and installation professional who is adept at collaborating with interior designers, architects, electricians and more. Why? Harbert Home Systems has a few reasons:

1- Save time and money

When you consult early with an integrator, the planning can prevent a variety mistakes from ever happening. Harbert Home Systems helps coordinate the proper system selections, much like an architect works to understand your needs in order to design your perfect home.

2 – Gain Convenience & Peace of Mind

You’ll want to find a company that handles all facets of home automation so they can they connect the theater lighting controls (from any manufacturer), as well as the security, phone/intercom, video networking, whole-house music, HVAC controls, and everything else you want interconnected with your home theater. You’ll also want a custom integrator that can provide simple controls that allow you to tie them all together. Prep a movie viewing from anywhere in the house, or turn off all the lights and secure the rest of the home while you’re enjoying a film in your private cinema.

3 - Design Capabilities

In the same manner that you and your architect designed the house as a whole concept rather than designing each room in a vacuum and then hoping the overall look is consistent & fluent, you’ll want to hire an integrator that designs, specifies, installs, and interfaces all the low voltage systems. And they should all work as one!

4 - Easy Future Upgrades

Extensive electronic systems are complicated. Use a company that will maintain CAD drawings to document all the system design work in coordination with the electrical and mechanical designs. This provides you with an as-built record of all the technologies in the home which will become invaluable if you decide to make upgrades. It is also a tremendous benefit to the future homeowner if you ever sell your home.

In essence, your decision to hire a home technology integrator will save everyone on the job considerable time and money. Questions? Don’t hesitate to call us at Harbert Home Systems!
