How to Pick the Right Home Theater Installer

If you’re like most people you’ve got many questions regarding
home theater or you’ve tried to search for a plasma or LCD panel
TV installer. Maybe you’ve wondered about how to wall mount a
flat screen TV, how hide the wires, how to calibrate my surround
sound system. The easiest solution is to find a home theater
installer you can trust. But how do you find the right one for
you?

Finding a Plasma or LCD Panel TV Installer

First, any home theater installation company should be licensed,
bonded and insured to protect you from any mishaps, so be sure
to ask for proof. Beyond that though, consider the following…

• Are they part of the Better Business Bureau? Does the plasma
or LCD panel TV installer you’re considering have a clear record
or a list of complaints? Do a little homework at the BBB.
Although some unscrupulous companies might not have charges
against them, it’s still better to double-check.

• Do they charge for in-house consultation? A reputable TV or
surround sound installer will come to your home, offer
suggestions and provide a quote at no charge. The reason? They
make their money by providing great customer service and then
doing quality work.

• Did they ‘trash talk’ another installer? A reliable plasma or
LCD panel tv installer spends their time showing potential
clients why they are best and not waste that time by putting
down another company or product.

• Do they have references? Again, the BBB might not have all the
details you expect. That means you should talk to their past
clients to see what they have to say about their service
experience.

• What about appearances? First, look at their web site. If they
have a web site that’s a jumbled mess think of how your
installation will look when they’re done.

• How do their employees look? A three-piece suit might be
attractive, but you need a home theater installer and not a
lawyer or accountant. Chances are, an ‘over-dressed’ person
doesn’t know much about the hands-on labor of home theater
instillation. Equally as important though, you don’t want
someone who’s unkempt and wearing disheveled clothing. Someone
who takes pride in their appearance usually takes pride in the
work they do. So while its true image isn’t everything, you can
usually judge the service you’ll receive based on what you see.

• Do they put their promises in writing? Contracts are important
so make sure they spell out everything they plan to do, what it
will include, and when it will be completed. That way there are
no surprises. Should you need it, it’s also your proof in court.

Before you decide on a home theater company be sure to consider
all of these points. If you do, then it is possible to find the
right plasma or LCD panel tv installer for you.
