OUR SERVICES
Audio/Video
Our legacy, your lifestyle
The A/V Consulting legacy began in the high-end audio business over 20 years ago when the owner began working with only the finest audio products. Since then, we’ve refused to compromise and chose to only represent and install the most distinguished names in audio. As a company, we continue this tradition today by only working with products and suppliers that we feel possess the highest levels of quality and performance.
Over the years we have developed a completely unique system to distribute both audio and high definition video to multiple independent zones throughout your home – regardless of what room you are in.
As with all of our designs, the concepts are completely tailored to your individual needs. Our architecturally discreet devices can set massive speakers flush with drywall and conceal entire television sets behind mirrors to maintain the beauty and aesthetic vision of your home.
Quick Tip:
TV and speaker locations should be discussed with your architect early in the project to ensure proper placement and to prevent conflicts with structural elements.
Dedicated Theatres and Media Rooms
Enjoy the show!
Imagine going to the movies without ever leaving your home. We have years of experience designing and engineering state of the art home theaters – and the awards to prove it. By combining the finest video and audio equipment with acoustical treatments, your new home theater is sure to be everyone’s favorite room of the house.
Quick Tip:
Before designing your dream media room, imagine how you intend to use it. Will you be watching scary movies in the dark? Entertaining during the big game? The lighting you choose can drastically affect the required light output of your projector.
Lighting Control and Automation
Let there be light… and Shade
The ability to control and customize lighting in any space is at your fingertips. Effortlessly adjust light and shade levels throughout your entire home using an iPad, iPhone, remote, wall-mounted keypad or tabletop control.
With A/V Consulting you can save energy and add ambiance with Lutron Smart switches and dimmers. Astronomical timing devices allow interior and exterior lighting to be controlled with the rising and setting of the sun. Our smart system also memorizes the daily lighting usage patterns when you are at home and can replay them when you are away for added assurance.
When interfaced with your home security system, an alarm can trigger every light in your home to turn on and can flash exterior lights to signal emergency personnel.
Quick Tip:
Dimming your lighting just 10% saves energy and can double the life of your bulb.
System Integration
We put it all together.
Protect your home and the people in it by integrating your security with the other systems in your home. A/V Consulting can tailor the right option to take your existing security system to the next level. For instance, if your security alarm was activated, A/V Consulting could program the system to pulse all of your lights and even play a loud sound over all the speakers in your home – attracting attention while disorienting the intruder.
Surveillance and Security Systems
Keep an Eye on your Investment
A/V Consulting understands the two most critical components in home security: recording devices and cameras. Whether you want to watch a video of your property with high resolution IP camera systems in real time or integrate those cameras to record content that can identify thieves and vandals for prosecution purposes – we can create a system that works for you and your home.
Quick Tip:
Make sure to think about your surveillance needs early – camera placement should be discussed with your architect as soon as possible. Keep in mind the amount of recording time and the quality of the cameras as these are major factors that quickly drive up your costs.
Home Networking and WiFi
Make dropped signals, connection issues and interference a thing of the past
When we say that our networking systems can handle any volume of communication while performing at lightning fast speed and maximum security – it’s not just a figure of speech. With A/V Consulting, the wireless network in your home can be identical to the one inside the most secure offices in Southern California. If they can trust the system to handle millions of dollars in transactions a day, you can trust it to take care of your home.
This technology provides seamless interaction between our system and all of your devices from iPads to tabletop remotes no matter where you may be.
Quick Tip:
The size of your home drastically affects the type and amount of equipment used for your wireless system. Thicker walls, millwork and masonry all necessitate a more robust Wi-Fi system. Whether your house is 3-5k sq. ft., 8k sq ft. or above – we’ve got you covered.
HVAC Control
Experts in efficient heating and cooling
A/V Consulting designs, programs and provides HVAC and Direct Digital Control (DDC) for the most complex mechanical systems. Our engineers will work with your mechanical contractor to provide the highest level of comfort, control and efficiency. As with all of our products, we offer architecturally discreet designs and devices so that the focus is always on your home – not your hardware.
Quick Tip:
The top complaint among homeowners is a room being too hot or cold. This issue is directly related to poorly designed and/or improper implementation of heating and cooling systems.
A Long Standing Legacy
Since 2006, A/V Consulting has stood for timeless quality and superior workmanship. We made a decision long ago to sell and install only the highest grade of products and the most supportive services. We are proud to continue that tradition today by combining cutting edge technology with unwavering service.
The service abilities and functions of the products automating your home depend on a lot more than what meets the eye. That’s why A/V Consulting projects only use the finest level products from beginning to end; we know it’s what’s inside that makes the difference.
Our engineers, technicians and programmers are here to make your life easier. Our systems have been featured in Ranch and Coast, Riviera, and the book, Luxury Homes and Lifestyles, to mention a few.
Quality Control
Few home automation providers are as dedicated to service as A/V Consulting. When we install something for your home, we install it to last. We know that you didn’t get to where you are in life by cutting corners – and neither did we.

We are sensitive to your privacy and require our staff to undergo extensive background checks and sign confidentiality agreements so that your information is always safe with us.

The people who have trusted us so far
John upgraded our entire video and audio system and we found the result to be beyond our expectations.He and his team worked tirelessly and did not let up until all issues were resolved. We found him to be very fair, and above all he was an absolute pleasure to do business with.We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone who is looking to install or improve a video and audio system.Ellis B.August 2015
I hired A/V Consulting to do my new sound system and TVs for my new Coronado Condo. I had already met with a couple other companies and I just not impressed. John was very easy to deal with, very knowledgeable and he was able to understand exactly what I wanted to accomplish, I was even able to incorporate some of my old components from my previous house with his recommendation. Never felt pressured to buy anything more than I needed. During the installation John was onsite most of the time and the crew was very professional and got everything done exactly on time. In the end I have an amazing system that sounds and looks amazing. I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute to recommend A/V Consulting to other homeowners.Reza A.June 2015
John came highly recommended, was very patient, knowledgable and kind. He designed a system that suited my needs. Before I met John, I received proposals from 3 other AV consultants all of whom made me feel as if they were selling their favorite system, whether it was appropriate for my situation or not. I am not a high tech guy, so everything needed to be easy to use regardless of how complicated it was under the hood. The result was clean, elegant and the wiring is laid out so beautifully it will make you cry.Druck J.April 2015
