IN-HOME EVALUATION

 
    Our Designers will visit your home and cover the items listed below plus any other relevant issues that you specify. The goal of the evaluation is to determine the capability and most suitable applications for audio, video, lighting control and automation depending upon your home's construction.

Here is a list of tasks that will be performed in your report.

  • Determine type of home construction.

  • Verify accessibility for wire routing to all speaker locations and other infrastructure support systems.

  • Evaluate existing equipment, components and wire for potential integration into new system.

  • Determine proper speaker placement based upon room acoustics and interior design aesthetics.

  • Evaluate room acoustics.

  • Evaluate room size and seating specifications in order to determine most appropriate monitor format as well as most appropriate monitor size.

  • Evaluate existing locations of electrical power, cable outlets, and telephone outlets.  Is wiring appropriate for new system?

  • Discuss lifestyle preferences so we can customize the design to best suit your needs.

  • Perform a needs based evaluation in order to recommend the most appropriate control system for scope of project under consideration.
