What our audio video installation services include
“AV installation” covers everything between the wall and the experience: the displays and speakers you see, and the wiring, equipment, and programming you never do. As a licensed Arizona integrator (AZ ROC #332501) we handle all of it with our own team — no subcontracted trades, one company accountable for the result.
TVs & displays
Mounted, concealed-wire, and calibrated — including hidden TVs that disappear into cabinetry or behind art until showtime.
Surround sound
True surround systems for living rooms and media rooms, placed and tuned for the room instead of the brochure.
Whole-home audio
In-ceiling, invisible, and outdoor speakers with music in every room — one app, every zone.
Audio & video distribution
Centralized sources shared to every TV and speaker in the house, so equipment lives in a rack — not stacked under each screen.
Media rooms & theaters
From upgraded great rooms to dedicated theaters with projection, acoustic treatment, and one-button control.
Outdoor AV
Patio TVs, landscape audio, and pool-side sound engineered for Arizona sun, dust, and summer heat.
Conference rooms & commercial
One-touch meeting spaces, restaurant and hospitality audio, and commercial displays across the Phoenix metro.
The network behind it
Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi and wiring — because every stream, screen, and speaker is only as reliable as the network under it.
Residential and commercial AV, one engineering standard
Most of our audio video installations are residential — living rooms, patios, media rooms, and whole homes across Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Paradise Valley. The same team designs and installs commercial AV for conference rooms, restaurants, and showrooms — spaces where picture and sound shape the client experience rather than the family’s evening.
The common thread is engineering. Whether the room is a great room or a boardroom, we design first — sight lines, acoustics, equipment location, network load — then install to the drawing and calibrate the result. That is the difference between an AV installation company and someone who mounts TVs.
Have a room in mind?
Describe the space in a 15-minute call and we'll tell you what's possible — and what it roughly takes.
Why hire a professional AV installation company?
Anyone can hang a TV. The problems appear afterward: a cable draped down the wall, sound that vanishes under dialogue, streaming that stutters at 8 PM, and four remotes on the coffee table nobody but one person understands. AV equipment installation is the easy half — making it disappear into the home and behave as one system is the craft.
Our installations conceal every wire, calibrate picture and sound to the room, and put the whole system — TV, music, and often lighting and shades — on one remote or app. And because we’re a Phoenix company at a Phoenix address, the person who installed it is the person who answers when you call.
What does AV installation cost in Phoenix?
Cost tracks scope. As honest anchors from the market we work in: a single-room audio video package — mounted display, concealed wiring, quality sound — typically starts around $3,500–$5,000 installed. High-performance media rooms start near $15,000, whole-home audio and video distribution commonly runs $20,000–$75,000, and dedicated theaters occupy their own tier.
Every project receives a fixed, line-item proposal — equipment, programming, and labor — before any work begins. No allowances, no “time and materials” surprises: you know the exact investment before you commit.

AV installation FAQs
What do AV installation services cost?
A single-room audio video package — mounted display, concealed wiring, quality sound — typically starts around $3,500–$5,000 installed. Whole-home audio and video distribution commonly runs $20,000–$75,000, and media rooms start near $15,000. Every project gets a fixed, line-item proposal before work begins.
What's the difference between an AV installer and a TV-mounting handyman?
A handyman hangs the TV. An AV installation company engineers the result: concealed wiring, calibrated picture and sound, a network that keeps streaming stable, and one remote or app that runs everything. When something misbehaves years later, you also have an accountable local company to call.
Do you install audio video systems in existing homes?
Yes — most of our residential AV work is in finished homes. We route wiring through attics and walls without visible conduit, use wireless where it genuinely performs, and leave rooms clean. New construction lets us pre-wire for the most capability, but a finished home is never a dealbreaker.
Can you use equipment I already own?
Usually. During the walkthrough we inventory your TVs, speakers, receivers, and sources, then tell you plainly what is worth integrating and what is holding the system back. Many projects blend owned equipment with new distribution, control, and networking — you only replace what earns its replacement.
Do you handle commercial audio video installation?
Yes. We design and install conference room AV, restaurant and hospitality audio, and commercial displays across the Phoenix metro — the same engineering standard we bring to residential work, applied to spaces where AV shapes the client experience. Multi-room offices are built to one repeatable standard.
Will my AV system work with home automation?
It should — that's the point of professional design. Our AV installations run on Crestron and Control4 control, so one press starts the movie, sets the lights, and lowers the shades. If you automate more of the home later, the AV foundation is already in place.
