We have over 15 years experience specializing in residential audio, video, and security camera installations. From designing, installation and consulting, we provide a variety of high level Home Entertainment services. All work is performed by the owner.

"Joel is wonderful to work with! We converted a semi-finished room in our basement into a home theater. Joel worked with us on how to best layout the room and installed the sound system/speakers, projector, screen, lighting, and sound panels. Joel helped us pick the best equipment for our space and within our budget. When it came to installing, he has an almost obsessive attention to detail in the best way. He saw that the screen was 1/16th of an inch off level. I never would have noticed, but he made the adjustments to make it perfect. All of his work was like that - the details are perfect. The work went fast and we could not be happier with the results. The picture is big, bright and so clear. The sound is so crisp that you can hear birds fly over your head in a movie. You feel like part of the crowd when watching a football game. It really is an amazing set up. If you are looking to install a home theater, Joel and Every Man Home Entertainment is who you should hire."

Protecting homes and businesses since 1950, Guardian Protection is one of the nation's largest and most highly regarded security companies. We provide smart technology, 24/7 professional monitoring, and peace of mind to hundreds of thousands of customers. Our products are installed by experts, monitored by real people, and truly make a difference. We do what we do because of one simple truth: life is better when it's safe.

"We hired Guardian to install our security system at our Washington, DC, business. The service and quality of the work was horrible. We had cameras and an alarm system installed; it was a relatively large system. They outsource most of the work to various vendors. They could not manage their vendors; what was supposed to take a week took two months. The sales rep did not return calls, and you could never get anyone in management on the phone. Random people would show up at unannounced times. The few things that an actual Guardian employee did were they made a huge mess of our newly remodeled office and were rude to our staff. We have offices in five markets across the US and have high security at each; we have never had such a poor experience."

Award winning! Vintage Security provides monitoring services and security systems to over 19,000 customers throughout the Northern Virginia, Washington D.C, and Maryland areas. We offer a complete line of hardwired and wireless equipment to protect your home and/or business. Vintage Security skilled installers and technicians will treat your home and/or business as though it were their own.

"I have been on this system for 3-4 years. The initial installation went ok, but the overall functionality and reliability of the system is poor. The basic alarm system works when you manually arm/ disarm it through the app or keypad. However, the alarm cannot be set up on an automated schedule, and NONE of the connected automation features work - lights, outlets, blinds, etc. I purchased the recommended products that the company promised would seamlessly integrate into the system during the sales pitch, but none of them work. They have sent technicians out a couple times but, even after installing bulky repeater boxes in about half a dozen outlets, the system cannot connect. I have submitted several tickets, but Vintage just closes them out and suggests that I self troubleshoot. Alternatively, I can pay for an Automation Maintenance package and they will send a technician out. Bottom line - their system is nothing more than a 1990's alarm with a keypad and phone app. They dont deliver on what they sell, and they try to charge extra for support that should be included."

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

If your home security system relies on the internet for operational purposes, then there’s a chance someone could hack into it. Fortunately, the chances of hacking occurring are low, but it’s something to be aware of. Wired security cameras or cameras that store data on a local server and not a cloud-based server have an even lower probability of getting hacked.

Yes, many modern humidifiers include digital or smart controls for automated humidity adjustments.

While smart doorbells offer security and convenience, they come with disadvantages. Most non-wired options rely on a stable internet connection, making them vulnerable to outages. The same applies to wired devices that depend on power, but most models have a backup battery. There is also the privacy issue, as these devices constantly capture video and audio around the front door, which could be a pro or con. Considering these factors is essential before moving forward with installation.

In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.

Smart switches require a neutral wire for correct installation. Neutral wires aren't typically present in a single-pole switch configuration, so this project can be a tricky one for average DIYers. In most cases, you should hire an electrician to run a new circuit or adapt your existing wiring to include a neutral connection to accommodate a smart switch.
