About us

You might like to know that you’re buying the right equipment and getting it at a fair price. There's a proven way to do that - good planning. With 20 years professional experience I know what to ask you whether you’re an avid enthusiast or a novice. I know what to look for in your home (i.e. infrastructure). And, we talk. After we're done planning, you've got one very solid solution. (And, this is what I love doing!) A manufacturer-authorized dealer, you pay no more for product bought through me than you would from a brick-and-mortar store. You benefit from my lack of overhead expense - mine is a home-office - by paying less for installation. You get my support after the sale so you don’t have to deal with frustrating tech-support lines. DH Audio and Home Theater offers wired and wireless speakers, TVs, home theaters, acoustic room treatments, equipment cabinets, and Wifi-Network systems.

Dennis is a consummate professional. Within a day of receiving my inquiry about setting up some high-end speakers, he expertly talked me through the optimal set-up given my space and needs, and he then set to work getting the job done, efficiently and scrupulously. Where the materials I had at the ready were insufficient, he had all needed materials handy (speaker wire, batteries, etc.), and he was transparent about pricing/alternative options at every turn. I'll go to him next time I have audio needs.

Honestly, couldnt recommend Dennis enough. My system is ~10 years old and somewhat complex (4 zones, each with audio through a centralized sonos port/amp system, and video). He was able to diagnose potential fault points and correct them quickly. Thanks for making a daunting task quick, painless and affordable.

Dennis did a great job. He is was thorough in his research of the best components based upon what I wanted. He did an excellent job removing the old system and installing the new one. Dennis made sure I was comfortable in operating the system and sent me detailed instructions.

Dennis was great to work with right from the first phone call. He is extremely knowledgeable and was able to reasonably plan out and install a new TV and system that made sense for our family needs. He is very patient and detail oriented, and explained everything along the way. He was happy to help with any follow up questions we had after installation. He and his staff were very professional throughout the entire process. We highly recommend!

Excellent - Dennis responded to my initial request quickly and was willing and able to work within a tight timeline. He asked multiple questions up front to insure he understood our needs and goals. He clearly explained his recommendations, and was patient in answering several clarifying questions. He was professsional and spent a great deal of time with the installation insuring that it was done well. He was a pleasure to work with and I would both recommend him and hire him again.

Dennis is amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable. Very professional and patient. He worked closely with the Bose technical service to make sure he resolved unforeseen issues. In the end, the TV picture was adjusted, all surround sound speakers and the 3 zones working! I am having him come back to do additional work. Dennis is the man!

It went very well. He completed the job in a timely manner and took his time to explain to us how to operate the system and use the remote. We would use Dennis Hartwick again in the future should the need arise and definitely recommend him to others.

"You sure like to play your music loud! You got the clearest, loudest system for the money. Remember that you should call the moment you have a question or concern. Tweaks and adjustments are often free within the first year. It was a pleasure working with you!"

We renovated a brownstone in New York City. An important part of the work was installation of a sound system on the main floor, in the 2nd floor family room and in the backyard. In conjunction with this work, we set up a home theater connected to Direct TV, ran Ethernet wires to most rooms to connect to the internet and set up a strong and stable Wifi. Also we installed Sonos boxes to access music from the internet and my computer. We hired Dennis (the proprietor of DH Audio and Home Theater who did most of the work, but utilized experienced technicians) because he demonstrated very good technical knowledge when interviewed, provided excellent recommendations and gave a competitive price. Dennis planned out the job in written, specific detail (unusual for contractors) and worked with us to see what services we would like and the associated costs. Our job was challenging because we planned for a one year renovation, but it turned out to be 2 1/2 years. This extended period required more effort to manage and added complexity to the job. Dennis started with wiring the house while the walls were exposed. Then he had to wait until we had electricity provided in an equipment closet to install the audio / visual equipment. He had to coordinate with the electrician, general contractor and carpenter on a regular basis. For example, installing speakers in ceilings and soffits sometimes was tricky because of space limitations. During times he was waiting for other work to be completed, we sometimes had inadvertent damage to his equipment and wires, which he had to diagnose the problem and fix. After many months, he started programming the equipment using computer utilities. I believe this work took about 2 weeks (but not full time) to do. Then he had to work out glitches which I discovered by using it initially. After that, he provided phone support when I had something that I could not operate completely. To boost the WiFi signal, he added wireless access point devices on each floor. This are very useful in providing stable wireless internet, but are finicky and are placed by trial and error to provide optimal functionality. Because of ongoing construction, we had an unexpected drop off of service, which Dennis analyzed and reestablished the strong signal throughout the house. At the end, we ran speaker and volume control wire in PVC pipes outside and set up speakers. We used one set of speakers he recommended which are also plant boxes, so they are not obvious. As you may infer from this description, this work needed someone who was technically competent, flexible in change of design from the client, would operate in a construction environment, and committed to completing the work no matter what the obstacles are. Dennis was terrific in all of these areas. He is fair and honest, which is an important consideration when selecting someone. (Of note, with Dennis, as with all contractors, the client must pay close attention to change orders and be sure they understand the scope and cost of the work.) He also was able to purchase equipment at the market rate, which saves the client time in shopping. I heartily recommend Dennis for installing a sound system, home theater, Sonos, and WiFi.

"[Member Name Removed], thanks for all of your involvement in helping me get you the right a/v, control, and network systems. All that consultation time was instrumental to your satisfaction. And, I know you had a thousand other things going on at the same time. You were a pleasure to work with. I can't wait until your next 19th century fixer-upper! ;)"

Dennis came to my house and provided me with a customized appraisal of what my house would need in terms of audio system. All customization was done with my existing video/audio setup. Dennis was very attentive to all my requests and the equipment purchased was top notch. Installation was done timely and professionally. Dennis is knowledgable and courteous and is always responsive to all follow up questions. I highly recommend his services to all who wants a quality home theater systems to be installed in the house.

Dennis provided perfect communication from the minute we spoke. He asked me to send him photos so he better understood my situation. I sent a photo of a jumble of wires, and a stereo system and TV that didn't work. This was something that I could not find anyone to come fix. I don't know why, but no company, electrician or handy man would touch it. And then Dennis was found! 
Dennis arrived on time, with all the tools he needed. He also had appropriate cables needed to fix what the issues were in the system. 
He did everything that was required to get it all working again. 
Dennis is a lovely person in addition to being a top business person.
I would recommend him to anyone needing assistance on electronics.
There are a lot of companies here, save yourself some time and call DH Audio and Home Theater.

Went very smoothly and professionally. Dennis is not your typical in and out service provider, he takes great pride in final product and customers ability to to understand and operate. Very competent and obviously in it for the long haul.
Response from DH Audio and Home Theater

"[member name removed], Thank you for your kind words. You're absolutely right about my being there for you down the road. Your gear should be with you for a while, too. Investing in better quality usually pays you back, especially if you plan on using the system for a long time. I hope you get many years use and enjoyment out of it."

It was the worst. Extremly misleading. Dennis gave me a quote over the phone of what he can do for the type of setup I wanted. Then following the walk through of my home and showing him how I wanted the my system setup which he charges he then gave me a different quote adding in all the extra parts I was going to need. After agreeing to have him do the job Dennis asked for a cash only deposit since I was asking him to do the job the following day and it was short notice. After receiving the a job order from him detailing everything he tell me what time him and his crew will arrive but little did I know his crew was one other guy that was a friend of his that had just gotten off his regular job to come make some extra cash helping Dennis. Now at this point I realize the unprofessionalism but by then I already given him money. Dennis charges labor by the hour so now once the job starts they start to move slow and claiming they where having problems fishing the wires in the wall. Thinking that I could trust that my system would be setup efficiently and properly wrong Little did I know that Dennis has come back and redesigned the enitre system we spoke about on his own and starts installing things the way he wanted it done. He pushed his labor time to the max (7hrs) and then when we said he was done the work was not what I asked for very amateur looking and wires all over the place. But that not it. He writes up the add-on on the contract and gives it to my wife and he attempted to charged us for connecting each part of our surround sound system individually. When I asked him about the add-ons and why he didn't hide my wires in the wall his response was that's not what included in the labor time and he would have to charge you 3 more hours. When it was all said and done extremely unhappy with the work that was done and now have to spend my money to get someone else to do it correctly.
