How long does a project usually last?

Every project is unique. It’s part of the fun of an audio video installation.

A quality installer will work with you from the initial discovery to the final walkthrough, and they won’t leave you to fend for yourself after the fact.

But because each project takes on a life of its own, it’s impossible to say how long it can last.

However, you can be sure that you’ll receive a planned schedule for completion before installation begins and that a quality integrator will stick to it.

How many people are involved?

Nobody likes a bunch of strangers moving in and out of their houses.

But for larger projects, it may be necessary. From your installers crew to builders, designers and architects, there can be a lot going on at once.

It can quickly become overwhelming.

A good installer will help coordinate the various professionals so you don’t have to. The installer’s job is to make sure your system looks and feels as good as possible.

That means collaborating with each of the professionals necessary for your project and making sure they are producing what’s necessary for completion.

How do I know how to use my new system?

Some homeowners get nervous at the idea of installing new technology.

It’s understandable – you don’t want to spend time learning how to use your gear. You just want to use it.

The good news is that most smart technology is very user-friendly.

The better news is that a quality installer will provide any kind of training you need to fully enjoy your system. They’ll show you how to operate everything before they leave, and they’ll be available to answer your questions afterward.

How do I spot a quality installer?

There are a few simple ways you can spot a quality installer. All you have to do is answer these questions:

Do they have a professional-looking website?

If their site looks like it was built buy a relative or an underpaid college student, that may be a red flag.

Are they willing to showcase past work?

Often their site will feature a gallery. Or you can ask for a portfolio. If they don’t have either, start looking elsewhere.

Do they have online reviews?

Online reviews and testimonials are among the best ways to see if they’re worth your time. A simple Google search should pull up plenty.
