In new construction and remodel projects, once the house has been dry-walled and painted, we will install wall plates for phone, network and television services. If you purchased speakers and/or wall keypads, we will install those products at this time as well.
Generally a few weeks later, when the house is clean, secure, and free of dust, we bring in the TVs and other equipment for installation. As a standard practice, we label all of the cables and provide a flow chart to simplify any future work or service that may be done on the system. You should never be held hostage by a company because they are the only ones that know how everything hooks up and is programmed.
Once the equipment has been installed, control devices will be programmed and tested. This is one of the most important parts of any installation process. We have encountered systems put in by others that clients hated. In many cases, the only real problem was the programming was messy and not intuitive. We use smart macros that allow many functions to happen with only a single button press. Because final installation occurs in a finished home, precise care will be taken to ensure your cabinets, furniture, and other possessions are protected and kept clean.
