"The computer technician, Tammy, was excellent. He arrived on time and was very personable. Our computer is several years old and has been running slow, so he cleaned it up for us. He tried to show us how to perform some maintenance tasks on our own. After he was finished, he had to call in to the main Geek Choice number to settle the bill. When I spoke with the person on the phone from Geek Choice, I was astonished when they told me the bill was for $300, which included 2.5 hours service at $100 per hour and a $50 fee for home visit. I informed her that I had ordered the first hour through Angie's List for $75 and that the home visit fee was waived. She retrieved my information and charged me a balance of $135, to include the reduced hourly fee of $90 per hour. So Angie's List saved me almost $100, which I totally appreciate. I give the technician high marks but the company, Geek Choice, seems like just another corporation trying to make more money off the consumer than they should. I'm glad I went through Angie's List. "

Stereo and Home Theater Systems questions, answered by experts
Some pieces of home automation technology are DIY-friendly, but these are usually stand-alone pieces of equipment that don’t interact with other components. Plus, you may not be able to monitor them from a centralized mobile application. They’re more affordable and can still be great for automating parts of your home, but for full control over your property from a single app or website for easy monitoring and automation, professional design and installation services is best. Plus, these services typically boost your home value, so you’ll see a great ROI on them over time, even if they cost more upfront.
No, a soundbar is not the same as a true surround sound system. A soundbar is a system with multiple directional speakers that imitates surround sound but does not fully replicate its fidelity and dynamic range. High-end soundbar packages may include a subwoofer and additional speakers to achieve 360-degree sound, making the audio experience closer to true surround sound. However, it will still provide a slightly different audio effect than a dedicated surround sound installation in a home theater.
When deciding whether a home automation system is right for you, consider the advantages and disadvantages first.
