As the character in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" states, at Aire Theater Designs, we're "bona fide". In our industry, what exactly does this mean?

1) We are licensed dealers for everything that we sell: This means your product has a warranty (longer in many cases than dealers you find on-line). It also means that you are entitled to certain perks due to our elite status with specific vendors. Last week, our client Danny ordered some speakers that were out of stock. Due to our great relationship with the speaker manufacturer, the company substituted speakers that cost 50% more AT NO COST. You won't find this type of service on-line or at the local big box store.

2) Licensed, bonded, insured and carry Workers' Compensation: This means that we are above board and do everything that a company is legally supposed to. The benefit to you as a consumer is that if one of our employees were to ever get injured in your home or there was some sort of property damage...you're clear. This isn't the case when companies don't have these legal elements in place. Unfortunately many businesses in our field operate illegally by working without a contractor's license or by bringing people into your house that aren't employees.  You can easily check a company's credentials at the CSLB at the Contractor's State License Board. If a company states on the CSLB site that they don't have employees or don't have a license...buyer beware. If a business won't do these simple things legally, what's the chance that they are going to do the right thing with your project?

"Oh...we can do that."

In our industry, these are famous last words uttered by many contractors, electricians or "expert friends" regarding their ability to complete home automation projects such as:

1) Giving you the capability to view your front door camera from your iPad or any TV in the house.

2) Giving you one-touch control of your home theater.

3) Turning on your lights when you get home from the safety of your car with a dedicated Lutron lighting system.

4) Adjusting the temperature in your home from your iPad, computer or even from the office.

Why do we call these "famous last words"? It's because we have talked to countless clients that have had nightmares with other companies regarding home automation projects and smart home installations. The problem typically involves two things:

1) The amount of training that this field requires (see below).

2) Businesses that don't specifically do audio, video and home automation but say they do. These typically include contractors, electricians, plumbers and others.

At Aire Theater Designs, we understand training. Three members of our team will complete 72 hours of training this week on just ONE BRAND of our home automation line-up (Elan g!). We are sending another member of our staff to 20 hours of training next week on get master certification of another new offering (URC's Total Control Line). This ongoing learning ensures that we know our stuff and that we won't be giving you any famous last words.

Would you go to a dentist to get brain surgery? Of course not! Following this logic, it makes sense to go to a specialist when you are looking to enjoy movies, music and today's home automation or smart home technology in your home. If you're looking for plumbing help or need a fence built, don't call us. However, if you want to enhance your life through music, video and technology, give us a call and let us show you what's available today.
