Can't Please Everyone


Last week we had a 1978 Avanti dropped on our door step with the task of programming an aftermarket key-less entry remote to what was suppose to be an existing aftermarket system installed. This is normally not an issue provided the vehicle actually has a key-less entry installed. After an extensive search for this existing system we determined that there was no keyless entry system currently installed in the vehicle. So at this time I had asked one of our technicians to remove the door panel to verify that this vehicle even had any type of actuator (factory or aftermarket) in the door. After removing the door panel we discovered that any keyless entry ever working on this vehicle was impossible due to the absence of any actuator in this door. It was at this time we took photos to show the customer our findings. To my surprise despite the indisputable evidence the customer refused to believe this to be the case swearing that they had always used a remote to control the door locks, left our shop upset with us. Over the years I have learned just to brush such things off as it is not worth trying to debate the obvious with stubborn people.

Customer Pre-wire... ARE YOU BUILDING A HOUSE?

Hello my name is Chris S. and I'm the Lead Home Install Tech!!

On a weekly basis I am sent out to customers homes to install custom home Audio\Video and complete home automation technology. In this post I'm going to discuss a recent job that I performed. I went to a customers home during the construction process to perform a pre-wire(running wire before the sheetrock goes up).

CLICK HERE to view prewire photos

We provided this customer with a complete home automation package.

- The master bedroom is wired for in-wall speakers and a new HD flat panel television.
- The master bathroom is wired for in-ceiling speakers.
- The family room is wired for 5.1 surround sound in-wall and in-ceiling speakers.
- The childrens bedroom is wired for a future HD flat panel television.
- The Kitchen is wired for in-ceiling speakers.
- Each room is wired with networking capabilities for our state of the art Control4 System.

For this job, all of the video/audio/networking wires were run to a central location in a future closet which will contain all media electronics for the home.

One of the major benifits to having us in your home durring the construction process is giving us the ability to access each and every room before the sheetrock is put up.

If you are considering building a new home, be sure to contact us before you start! We can make your new home energy efficient and network friendly.
