Installing a new audio video system in your home or business can be an exciting and transformative experience. However, finding the right installer can be a daunting task. With so many options to choose from, how do you know which one is the right fit for your needs? Here are five tips to help you choose the right audio video installer for your home or business.
1. Check for industry certifications
The first thing you should look for when choosing an audio video installer is industry certifications. These certifications indicate that the installer has completed rigorous training and has demonstrated a high level of expertise in the field. Look for certifications from organizations like the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA), which is a global organization dedicated to professional excellence in the audio video industry.

2. Read customer reviews
Before hiring an audio video installer, be sure to read customer reviews online. Look for reviews on the installer’s website as well as on third-party review sites like Yelp and Google Reviews. Reading reviews from past customers can give you a sense of the installer’s level of professionalism, attention to detail, and overall quality of work.

3. Ask for a portfolio of past work
A reputable audio video installer should be able to provide you with a portfolio of past work. This can include photos and videos of completed projects, as well as references from past clients. Reviewing a portfolio of past work can help you get a sense of the installer’s style and capabilities.
