Wireless Home Control in Houston is much more simple these days with a Custom Home Automation System. With the click of a button on your tablet, you now have IPAD Home Control wirelessly linked to manage your Stereo System or Home Audio/Music, Lighting, Home Security, A/C & Heating, Window Shades, Sprinklers, and more. With the IPAD as your Smart Home Control System in Houston, you can now manage your home from wherever you take your IPAD, literally. Also, it reduces the cost of your system because most people opt. to use an IPAD or two as they’re only Home Controllers.

How does it reduce cost? Well, in a traditional design you will have many panels installed in various rooms to control the functionality in those specific rooms. These panels can run you upwards of $400-$800 each, depending on the system you go with. These were great, but now they do not serve as much of a purpose due to wireless control from your IPAD. Thank you technology! Some folks still find it convenient to keep a couple of control units around the house, and I understand and encourage this decision, as it does makes sense. If you have an issue with your IPAD, it runs out of battery, it fails, or you can’t find it, you always have a hard wired back up solution. Maybe you have an upstairs and a downstairs controller in-wall, so you have a backup on each level of the home.

Wireless control is new, but with a home or wireless network that works well (as most do, most of the time), you will find it convenient to use your IPAD to check your security cameras while at the office, turn off lights that were left on, adjust your thermostat, and more. Almost any function can be programmed in as well, and you can keep tabs on your energy management too.

When you are considering adding a Home Theater Room or Home Audio Video/Stereo System into your Houston Area home, there are a lot of options that you have from so many different standpoints. First of all, if you have an existing home that is not pre-wired, you may be asking yourself, is it even possible to have speakers on the patio, and in the game room, kitchen, etc.? You might say to yourself, “I mean, I don’t even have any wires in those locations and is it going to cost a fortune to run wires throughout the house to achieve this?”

Custom TV Installation & In Wall Speaker

Don’t worry, we will address this with you when we come out to visit with you during our free consultation. Each and every case is different, and I’d say about 95% of homes will allow you to do some sort of retro-fit wiring, but a lot depends on your goals, budget, and needs for your space. Whatever the case, we’re going to advise you what your best route will be considering financial commitments, feasibility, and cost effectiveness. We always employ value engineering strategies to make sure that you get the best solution possible. There is always another option (typically), and you can complete projects in phases to make it easier on the pocketbook. Once we do wire everything up and design a home audio video system in your Houston area home, you will take pride in it once it is all finished, and don’t worry, we will recommend seamless control options along the way to make it easy to control/manage. You really can have a basic system or extreme high tech home, we will work with you, prioritize your needs, and find a solution that is compatible with your budget and goals.

Future proofing your home with network cabling and stereo/speaker wiring is something that many homeowners do to put in place for they’re own enjoyment from an entertainment perspective, and then additionally to make a home more attractive to the next buyer who may come along. Custom Home Theater and Custom Media Rooms are a great piece to the puzzle for your home entertainment. We work in these areas often as our client base often takes us around the city.

Here are some questions you may have about your home theater and audio video project in Houston, and some answers are on a case by case basis depending on numerous factors: We will happily answer all of these questions for you.

1) What room should I use for my surround sound 5.1 system or home theatre in Houston?

2) How can I get speakers in the ceiling in 3-4 rooms in the house/patio, but still control it from one device (remote control) and power the units from one receiver?

3) What is the process in conducting a home survey to determine the feasibility & estimated cost? Call us today at 713-385-6503

4) How do I know what kind of speakers are best for my application? If I like music and movies, but don’t really care for sporting events, will that change the optimal speaker for my situation?

5) Can I listen to the radio, Ipod, sattelite radio, etc. on the patio while my kids are watching a movie in the living area that has a 5.1 system?

6) What kind of TV should I select for my patio considering weatherization, sunlight, and picture quality? Where should I have this TV installed?

7) Is my two story home suitable to run wires throughout for house audio? Do you guys install keypads in the wall in each room to make it really neat looking and high-tech? What could complicate the process, and will there be any drywall repair?

Can you install my huge new flat screen television on my stone, brick, or mosaic tile fireplace? What electrical needs are required by code?

9) What types of insurance do you carry, and what kind of warranty will you give us? Fully Insured & 1 year warranty on labor. This labor warranty is rare. Most companies offer no warranty or 90 days.

10) How much is it going to cost???!

11) Can I call your previous clients and ask them about you? YES!

You will most likely have some of these questions, and many others depending on your personal situation, and we will gladly spend the time discussing these things to make you feel comfortable with the system that we are designing/installing and the process to do so.

Home Audio & Stereo Distribution in Houston is a really neat, high technology service. If you want to control your home audio system room by room, we recommend Nuvo. We design, sell, and install Nuvo Systems tailored to what you want your home audio or stereo to be capable of!

Nuvo Home Audio Controller

Beautifully Designed, Sleek Looking Keypads go into walls that control room by room music, I Pod, Rhapsody, Pandora, Old School Radio Stations, you name it! Home Audio Distribution is a really cool thing to add to your home, and it is reather easy for the family to listen to what they want in different rooms. I like to compare it to having a different TV in different rooms for different members of the family to watch “they’re shows”. This home stereo option in Houston now allows you all to have crisp sound coming out of your professional in-ceiling or in-wall house speakers so that you can entertain yourself, and a group of people, separately or together with the family. We provide and install the entire system, including the speakers, custom wiring, control panels, and all electronic components. We are happy to educate you about your options and functionality within new Home Audio and Stereo Systems. We will make sure that your budget and goals are understood and make them a priority, as always.

Keypad for Nuvo System on Wall

The Nuvo systems can also come with remotes that talk to each zone separately if you do not want control units in the walls of every room, which can get expensive. We can provide you with one or two remotes to control each area separately. Let me give you an example: If you want your speakers on the patio to play something different from the kitchen, this is as simple as selecting the “zone” selector button, and changing to a different zone right there from the remote. Choose the zone or area in the house where you will be relaxing or hanging out, and then choose what you want to listen to! We recommend this easy and elegant way to control your home audio and stereo in the greater Houston area. Feel free to ask us more about it so that you understand all of the ins and outs of what Nuvo does!

As you probably can tell, people are having they’re flat screen tv’s installed everywhere! Before, we just noticed them in restaurants and commercial establishments, but now homeowners are understanding that from a design and space saving aspect, it makes sense to have they’re tv installation completed in they’re Houston, Texas homes and vacation homes. The most popular place of course is above the fireplace, and in reality, its not always as “impossible” as it may look to some homeowners. We find ourselves installing flat screen televisions above fireplaces every week, and we love doing it! The homeowner often gets a kick out of it too! Sometimes clients have no idea that the creativity involved and workmanship is something to tip they’re hat too until they see it done! TV Installation in Houston is a great option to spice up your home design! Its also a great option to add to your Media Room because for one it saves space in your Media Room.

Projectors are also a common source for entertainment in many peoples game rooms turned into media rooms. Projector installation with a screen and wire running is more affordable than you think, let us take a look at your proposed room and we’ll give you a professional opinion and an affordable price.

We’ll continue providing professional design and instalation.
