It's been over 2 years since it was done. It went well and I would recommend this company to others.

We were never able to communicate successfully.  After about 30 minutes he suggested I call someone else.
Response from LIVE WIRE INSTALLATIONS
"I saw this bad review coming as soon as he started using foul language with me during my initial visit. At that point, I was done dealing with this person. I am nothing but respectful and if I cannot get it in return, there is no need to continue the conversation. Basically he wanted me to fix an issue with an Internet radio station. He couldn't comprehend that the problem was with the station itself and not with any of his equipment. He just couldn't grasp this no matter how I told him. He didn't openly tell me, but I figured out that there was another contractor there that installed the equipment initially. After my experience with this customer, I'm sure he burned that bridge and the original contractor didn't want to deal with this guy either. I don't blame him."

Called Mark and he told me it would be $85 for each camera and $75 to hook up the DVR unit price included all wiring and fixtures, Mark and Joe showed up right on time, got right to work, had to stop at the end of the day to go to another appointment, came back the following day and finished the job.  Excellent workmanship, very good price and we are delighted with the service.  Can view my home any time of the day or night from the monitors, PC's and Smart phone.  Great technology and real piece of mind.

Tech Service from Swann is first rate and very easy to contact and clear instructions to follow.  Very satisfied.

Mark and his associate did a great job. My brother-in-law had a stroke and it takes him a little extra time to explain himself. Mark is a great guy, very patient, and so knowledgeable that he understands exactly what my brother-in-law wants. Mark and his associate offered excellent suggestions and worked hard to create a useful and easily usable system, with the Swan IP components that my brother-in-law purchased on his own. They set up all the audio and video, and they have a very happy customer.

Mark is probably the nicest, most effective contractor I have ever worked with. Very down to earth. He did the job right. It was as if he was doing it for his own family.

First, Jeff was very responsive in answering my questions and providing me an estimate of his services. Second, Jeff worked with my schedule so that the work could be completed in a timely manner and without any inconvenience to me. Third, the work he did is outstanding! He advised me on the proper mount for my TV and then installed one that I chose. The mount I originally had on the TV was suggested by a different contractor and it began sagging after a 1 1/2 years. With Jeff's advice I was able to settle on the appropriate mount.

Finally, Jeff also moved a TV for me and mounted it on a different wall. He rewired it and replaced a bad HDMI cable that I didn't know was going out. He also moved the TV stand/cabinet that was under the TV to the new location.

I will use Jeff again and again if needed. He was very professional and I'm very satisfied with his service!

Mark was very professional and a pleasure to work with.  He did an excellent job wall mounting the TV and connecting all the home theatre equipment.  He made good suggestions to upgrade the systems and I will definitely use him in the future when I am ready to upgrade to a wireless system.

Siebel spent almost an hour at my home and wasn't going to charge me anything for his evaluation. I insisted on paying him 40 bucks.

Mark offered recommendations on the entire property, brainstormed on situations to boost security, and utilized a blend of equipment for functional installation without any problems.

Mark Seibles not only provided the services we needed, but also patiently answered all of our questions about how to operate both systems. He was thorough, professional and personable. Thank you Angie's List for another wonderful recommendation!

The work was done perfectly. We have used Live Wire three times now for various home theater/audio jobs and Mark is superb each and every time. He stays until the job is done perfectly. He is very patient, very careful, and makes suggestions for how home theater systems can work better. And, when done, he leaves everything very clean. In addition, he is just a super nice person.

We were very pleased with Mark's job.  He returned our initial call quickly and set up a time to come out and give us an estimate. We appreciated the fact that he asked us what we really wanted, which was a system that was easy to operate. Upon receiving the estimate, we scheduled installation of the system.  Mark came out on installation day prepared to do the job.  He worked quickly and efficiently to get the job done.  We did run into a snag with our receiver and had to replace it, but Mark just did what he could while he waited for it. 

The thing that really impressed us was Mark's tenacious attitude to solve a problem that we had with our first generation Ipad.  It was to be used to program/operate our system, particularly for outside use in the back yard.  Mark spent five hours going through different channels to find the problem.  Finally we called Apple support and the problem was quickly solved. We were ready to just purchase a new Ipad but Mark really wanted to get to the bottom of the problem.  He told us that he wanted to find the solution, because if this problem showed up for us, it might for someone else.

At the end of day two, the system was ready to program, which took quite a while.  Mark took extra time making sure that we knew how to operate each section of the remote, which was set up for easy operation-just what we wanted!  Everything worked fine for a few days and then the remote started malfunctioning.  We called Mark and he promptly came out and gave us a new remote, which has been working as it should.

All in all, we had a great experience with Mark.  He was very patient with our lack of electronics knowledge and designed a system that was easy for us to use and that sounds wonderful.  We would definitely use his company again.

Mark was timely in returning calls. He arrived late on the installation day, but it was a Sunday morning so I won't fault anyone for that. He was courteous and professional in explaining the work, price and with questions. He worked independently for several hours and cleaned up upon completion. I recommend his services for the qualtiy of the work and overall professionalism.

Please see my prior report on Mark/Live Wire Installations dated 1/22/13. As stated in that review I had Mark back to do some overall upgrading to the system that we had previously discussed. Once again, very pleased with Mark and his work. My system is now incredible in overall sound and ease of operation. Thanks again Mark/ Live Wire Installation for an outstanding job.

Thanks to Angie's List for another WINNER. Called Mark Seibles of Live Wire Installations after selecting off of Angies List based on the mostly outstanding overall reviews from previous customers. There was one review however that was submitted that gave a "C" as Overall Performance. The thing that impressed me most was the response to the customer that Mark submitted. Professional, addressing the issues and basically saying the customer is always right and given a chance to make it right he would have. After meeting Mark and having him do my work it was very apparent that is how he conducts himself and runs his business.
How did it go? I called and told Mark what I thought I needed, he told me how long he thought it would take, gave me a price based on that estimate and we set an appointment for the following week. Mark was on time, went right to work and finished within the estimate time. What took Mark 3 hours to do, took the original company that set the system up a day and a half. Something wrong with that picture. Of course I didn't have Angie's List to guide me at that time.
Net, Net, the system never looked better, sounded as good or was functionally as easy to operate. Having hired Live Wire has re-newed my faith in good professional quality service at a reasonable price. Never thought I'd be a happy guy writing a $225.00 check. If you need this kind of service this is your guy. I'm so impressed with the job he did I'm bringing Mark back to add a few things to the system.

The project went very well, from start to finish.  Mark Seibles was prompt in responding to our e-mail request, set up the free estimate immediately, and then was ready to do the project the next day.  He was professional, answered our questions, and made recommendations based on his knowledge and experience.  Mark completed the project in 4-5 hours and showed up how to operate all the various technology involved.  He was courteous and friendly and has a great sense of customer service.  We are very pleased with the end result and highly recommend Mark if you need help with setting up a home theater system.

Mark returned my call on the 14th and gave me an estimate and said he could be out the next day at 1PM.  He called me at 12:30 to say he was running behind and arrived at about 2:30; at least he called.  During the course of disconnecting/connecting things he plugged the wrong (19v) adapter into my DVR(12v) and it burnt out loosing all my recorded programs.  I had to run across town during rush hour to get a new one.  I used to be in IT repair and things like this happen sometimes, but if he had plugged the wrong one into my TV, I could be without a TV.  I thought he would knock some off the bill for this inconvenience, but he didn't; at the same time I did get a good price (you get what you pay for).  I was originally going to go through High Definition Connection, but Jeff couldn't make it out until the following week and his price was $75 more.  Mark is a nice person and very pleasant, but I want to be honest in my review.  The actual mount job looks very good.
Response from LIVE WIRE INSTALLATIONS
"After over 10 years in business and hundreds of customers, it was bound to happen.... Well, as far as being late, yes I was running late from a previous job. I don't like to leave a job incomplete so that's why I called you to tell you I was going to be late. As for the cable box, yes I did plug in the wrong transformer to it. I was the one to inform you of this. I could have not said anything and blamed it on bad equipment, but I was honest with you as I am with all of my customers. I would have went to exchange it myself, but as you already know I am not on your account so they would not allow me to pick up the new cable box (remember we had that discussion). That is why you went. As far as getting MORE of a discount, you should have just asked. The job was already cheaper than anyone else, as you previously stated. I would have knocked off more if you would have just communicated with me. I am more than fair if given the opportunity."

Mark Seibles of Live Wire did a wonderful job on short notice. Very professional installation of the huge flat-screen in our conference room. All the cables and connectors are professionally hidden and we are very confident that everything will last the life of the products he installed. I definitely recommend Mark withLive Wire for any of your Audio/Video installation and setup needs.
