South Shore Audio Video Installation specializes in custom design, sales and installation of home theater systems, whole house music systems and home automation. Standard, cookie-cutter solutions don't always fit your specific needs and the Big Box stores simply cannot provide our level of personal service and knowledge. SSAVI is founded on the concept of true customer service. That's our promise. We bring quality, dependable service at affordable prices to the custom installation business. We are, by choice, a small business. We pride ourselves on complete customer satisfaction. As owner and general manager Kirk will be involved in every transaction.

"Excellent! Best service! Very responsive, very responsible, clean, neat, excellent and great communication throughout the project. Excellent product and the equipment is very great!"

"I needed a top-rated professional theatre design company to professionally install my OLED TV, Denon Receiver, Apple TV, Nintendo Switch, and Sony Blu Ray. All these components were to be controlled by one single Harmony remote. I went to TV Install Pros based on their amazing reputation in the business and I am so glad I did. They had great prices for work that was top notch and professional. Ryan, Martin, and Nick are the most professional team to work with! They truly do believe in delivering exceptional customer service to their customers. They were also the most courteous and most knowledgeable team I had ever worked with. They were prompt on their scheduled appointments, and their quality of work was exceptional. I had the TV mounted on the wall and it looks and sounds simply amazing! I am extremally happy with the installation and would highly recommend TV Install Pros for a home theatre installation."

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

Smart LED light bulbs are designed with software that connects to other Smart accessories, such as a smartphone app or Smart home assistant. Through these accessories, you can control your LED lights remotely, so you don’t need to use conventional wall switches. Many Smart LED bulbs also feature customization options that allow you to set automated schedules or change the colors of your lights.

When deciding whether a home automation system is right for you, consider the advantages and disadvantages first.

Pros

  • Home automation can help make your home more energy efficient, possibly lowering utility bills.

  • A wide range of automated solutions is available to meet your needs.

  • Centralized and remote control of different home automation systems.

Cons

  • Home automation can be costly.

  • Not all automated systems are compatible with each other.

  • Over-dependence on home automation can be problematic if systems cannot connect to the cloud.

Smart locks offer around the same level of safety as conventional locks with keys. The best way to secure your door locks is to combine routine locking mechanisms with other home safety features, like lighting, motion sensors, security cameras, and window and door sensors. 

Smart locks have the upper hand when it comes to convenience—you won't have to worry about your key not turning in the lock or fumbling around in your bag for your keys—but beyond that, any door with deadbolts will offer a similar degree of security.

Yes, many professionals offer installation for specialty locks, high-security latches, and decorative hardware.

Home flood detection systems are worth it for the peace of mind they can provide, especially if you live in an old home with poor pipework, own a second home left unoccupied for long periods, or live in a flood-prone area. Some insurers even offer discounts to homeowners with detectors in place, helping to offset the costs.
