Installations
Lighthouse Technologies is dedicated to your total satisfaction. Whether we’re building out a home theater installation, media room installation, or simply hanging a couple of TV’s, we work hard to make sure your home electronics work.
Any AV company can install almost any technology you want in your home. What makes us different from any run-of-the-mill local AV installer is that we work closely with all your other trades; from Architects and Designers, to Electricians and General Contractors. As a result of this collaboration, any home automation installation can be connected to everything happening in your home.
We connect all of the systems in your home for automation. We also communicate those systems with all of the tradespeople coming into your house. Through this, we ensure that you have complete control over everything going on in your home.
Design
Our team is driven by a desire for excellence and your ultimate satisfaction. We offer systems and home automation installations at all levels.
From home theaters and video/media rooms, to complete smart automation, we have a unique approach. Designing your home automation system in a holistic way ensures your overall design performs consistently at it’s best. We tailor each feature to your lifestyle.
Our approach nearly guarantees that any installation we set up for you achieves the highest levels of performance.
Engineering
Once a design is approved, the project advances to the engineering stage. With the aid of advanced software and drawings, we develop flow diagrams and detailed layouts for all key aspects of your system. We consider all the details of your rooms.
- room and seating arrangements
- selection of audio and video equipment
- energy saving systems
- lighting and window treatments
- which devices you want to use to control your home
- and more
A complete set of engineering plans and line drawings are prepared for each project.
In this way, everyone works efficiently to complete your installation.
Programming
The interface to your system is your touchpanels. Whether we use purpose-built touchpanels, iPads, or smartphones, we make sure your controls are intuitive, very responsive and easy to use for every member of your family. For example: we use colorful, large, easy to use ‘buttons’ that are tested and configured for the easiest operation. Lighthouse Technologies programming is performed in our facilities by our own trained staff, then tested and commissioned for long-term reliability and simplicity. We incorporate your needs in every step of the process to be sure your system is truly – yours.
Project Management
A clear, concise understanding between architects, interior designers, engineers, construction professionals, facility managers, and owners is key to completing a successful project. To be on the same page you have to be in the same book, or in the case of a construction project, the same model. That’s why we start with careful drawings and then monitor each step to be sure they are executed with precision. From the first encounters, to weekly meetings, to being available on short notice, we act as your Electronics Project Manager through the entire process. We instruct, coordinate and monitor everything to be sure the job is done right the first time.
Installation
There are several phases to installing a system in your home: a Rough-In stage where all wiring is installed and tested, a Trim stage where interfaces, keypads, speakers and brackets are installed, and a Final Installation where the components are placed. When the system is functioning, we review its operation with any members of your family so everyone is able to fully enjoy all of its benefits. In every step of system implementation, the Project Manager and our in-house crew work carefully and cleanly, just as if they were building a system for their own home. At the end of each day, the work area is completely cleaned and returned to its original arrangement.
Support
Our home automation installations are extremely reliable. This because of the processes we have built over the past 11+ years in business. After designs are presented for your approval, full documents are created for everyone working on and in your home.
From showing you how easy it is to use your system, to answering any concerns you may have for years to come, we are there to assist in every way necessary.
We work closely with all contractors and regularly inspect to be sure the project meets our rigorous standards.
Our standards exceed common codes.
As we get closer to completing the installation, we begin programming and testing your system to ensure the highest performance standards.
We then walk you through how your home works so that enjoy automation to the fullest.
If there is an issue, our systems are intelligent enough to contact us for a remedy.
We can often fix your home remotely, often before you were even aware there was an issue.
