Smart Home Automation & Home Theater Germantown TN
Why Consider Audio Video Artistry?
1
Our competition has a sales staff complete with sales manager. Design is separate, as is ownership and the team that actually installs the product. At AVA, the two owners ARE the sales staff. They have 65 years combined experience designing, installing and programming the systems they sell. We have no desire to be a huge company with layers of complexity. We have accountability because you deal with the same person from the first meeting to the final reveal.

Our competition charges for the privilege of talking to them. Another charge is levied for a quote with half going toward the job should they get it. At AVA, we believe it’s a privilege to talk to YOU. So we don’t charge for it. We know if we get the chance to meet you, then more than likely you will choose us. It’s that simple. Besides, if a company throws fees at you before you’ve even done business with them, how bad do you think it will be once they have their systems in your home?

We’ve had a passion for entertainment & communications since 1998. Quite a few companies have come & gone during that time. We’ve endured tragic events & recession. We’ve steered clear of temporary trends and unstable brands. We have remained focused on service and quality and we still service systems we installed more than 20 years ago! We build lasting relationships and we know our customers by name.
Why Should You Invest in a Home Theater?
Home theaters have been popular for a long time. But, they have now hit their zenith now for several reasons. First of all is the wide range of content available. First-run content means you don’t have to go to the theater to see the newest movies. Streaming services bring this content effortlessly into your home via broadband connections that ensure high-quality playback without discs and expensive hardware. Those same streaming services offer some incredible content of their own as well. Services like Netflix, Hulu and Prime feature original shows that are brilliant in their writing, acting and production quality. The effort that goes into sound and visual impact gets more amazing every year as well. As the content has gotten better, so has the technology for you to enjoy it. As with anything, bigger budgets can create mind-blowing results in the right hands. What’s truly amazing is the wealth of affordable products that deliver the authentic experience of the movie theater like never before. It’s all about the EXPERIENCE and we are experts at putting together the perfect system for any budget!

Smart Home Automation FAQ's
What is a Smart Home?
Lighting, HVAC, security, entertainment and communications systems work together on a single platform. Now, you can control them at a glance from your cell phone or a wall-mounted touchpanel. Because they communicate with each other, a “goodnight” scene could lock all your doors, turn off all entertainment, activate the alarm, lower the window shades, set the thermostat to 70 and turn out all the interior lights.
How do Products Compare?
While there are many options, not all home automation products are created equal. We carry Crestron and Universal Automation. Crestron is widely considered the gold standard with installations in luxury residential, Fortune 500’s, universities, mission critical government applications and more around the world. URC is an industry giant manufacturing more than 100 million remotes in the past 10 years alone. Both companies are as solid as it gets.
What Does It Cost?
Home automation from Crestron and URC is modular. You can start with a seriously powerful processor under a grand! It’s capable of controlling your popular entertainment systems and interfacing with your alarm, locks, cameras and popular lighting systems. Add systems as you go and grow as your budget allows. If you want to do it all right off the bat, expect to spend about $10/sf including installation.
