Home Theatre, Audio Video and Home Automation System costs will vary depending on the number of rooms with speakers, the number of TVs throughout the home.  Also, how easy the system is to use and how many automation features you are looking to integrate.

Basic audio systems can be designed and installed for $5,000-10,000 for a 4 Room 4 Audio Source setup.  When video and other sub-systems of the home are integrated prices typically start in the $20,000-$30,000 range.  It can go up from there when you add higher quality speakers, video distribution and automation features such as Security and Cameras, HVAC, Lighting, Pools/Spas, etc. Each system is designed and tailored to each client and very rarely does Home Concepts design and install the exact same system twice.

Home Concepts was formed by a group of CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design & Integration Association) accredited individuals.  Formed to provide clients with true professional, certified design and installation.

The integrated Home Concepts team offers over 75 years of combined experience.  It also includes professional designers, CEDIA certified installers, and engineers. The extended team includes reputable contractors, electricians, and security companies.

Maximizing wire potential at the building stage is best.  Retro-fit wiring at a later date can be very difficult, and expensive. It is best to install more wire than what is initially needed.  This will ensure the capacity and flexibility to meet future technological needs. Pre-wiring a new home with a complete comprehensive wiring package allows you the freedom to decide on electronics and technology after you have moved in.  Products can be installed after the home is wired in phases and the home remains ready for all future upgrades.

Home theatre design is a lot more than 5-7 speakers and a sub woofer out of a box from your nearest big chain store.

Research into acoustical physics reports that 50% of what is heard is reflected sound. This means that the physical space or room that encompasses the equipment is equally as important as the equipment itself. Further more, proper connections, high quality signal paths, optimal calibration of the audio equipment to the standards the movie studios set and calibration of the video display to the optimal settings is also critical.

Utilizing high quality, properly terminated cable and speaker wire ensures proper transfer of the signal from one component to the next. The list goes on and on. After taking all these aspects into consideration you may only be experiencing 5-10% of the total capability of your home theatre space!!

Home theatre design involves pre-planning of the home theatre utilizing acoustical programs and blueprint analysis.  This allows us to design a quality sounding room before it is even constructed. The next phase is recommendations for construction protocols for the theatre including THX certified drywall (QR 545) and stud placement.  Then we look at the lighting plan and wiring schematics to ensure ideal end results.

The next phase involves planning of equipment type and placement based on the goals of the client and the budget available. When the theatre is constructed, all of the equipment is installed, calibrated and tested for optimal performance. This is the integration phase.
