Very fortunate that during installation Livewire (Thomas) diagnosed an audio jack defect in a 65" TV purchased from large retailer. Enabled a smooth return, replacement and reinstallation. Very happy that these folks are our tech support and partner experts in situations like this!

Professional execution. The Livewire team is a highly skilled group that intuitively understands your set-up needs and how a home technology system will best function for you.

Andre was great. Showed up on time, was courteous and updated my system as agreed upon. Very professional! I hate having workers in my home but he was a pleasure!!

Merrill Kirshenbaum

★★★★★

Under the meticulous, patient, and careful planning and install of Andre and Jordan, Livewire continues to grow my home entertainment and Sonos architecture to meet my demanding expectations. All devices are installed on-level and tested and explained and the smallest amount of dust is carried away from the scene. My footprint is small compared to other customers but my scope however small was treated with respect and understanding. Livewire should be considered if you are building out a new system or adding on to existing systems. They are experts.

gary allen

★★★★★

Met with Jim Zimmerman from Livewire this morning. He was personable and knowledgeable, and was able to diagnose the issues with our system and make the necessary corrections.

Lonnie Paster

★★★★★

Livewire assumed maintenance of my home theater which was installed by another vendor that went bankrupt. The Livewire person was very knowledgeable about my system and was able to upgrade the software and replace an outdated and defective controller. Very quick and very good result. Only complaint is that scheduling with Livewire results in long scheduling lead times due to busyness of the business at this time.

John Wheeler

★★★★★

Henry Clifford has built Livewire on state of the art equipment and quality professionals on his teamHe has completely wired and installed music and electronics for two houses for usI recommend both Henry and his team for all electronic and lighting needsAs a former CEO, I have watched Henry built a company through hard work and creative acquisition and have been very impressed.Most important of all, Henry has become a trusted friend !!!I continue to use Livewire for updates and technological improvements.

We've worked with Livewire for years - from our build to various issues. Everyone has been great, but we had a fantastic experience just recently thanks to Andre. He came to our home on Friday and worked tirelessly to diagnose a frustrating WiFi issue that has been plaguing us for months. Throughout the entire process, he was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable.What really stood out was his dedication—he didn’t rush and made sure we understood what was going on, which we truly appreciated. He made a stressful situation so much easier.Highly recommend—and a big thank you to Andre for going above and beyond!

Kate Terrell

Andre was great in diagnosing our problem with our home internet and was very thorough and patient with us. We will definitely be using Livewire for any future home AV projects.

Livewire met our expectations with professionalism & precision. They were not satisfied until we were satisfied. Thank you for seeing my vision and executing it perfectly.

Andy Pittard

★★★★★

Livewire is the best for anything technical around your house. Their customer service and technical expertise is 5 stars and up. We had them add security sensors to our exisiting system, help us fix a broken Sonos system, add ethernet wiring to a new part of the house and set up our garage with sensors and reset the newly purchased home's wifi. Andre, Justin, Marshall are just some of the many great technicians/project managers we worked with in the past month or so. They have people for everything including electricians and audio visual trouble shooters! Highly recommend them!

Cynthia Coleman

★★★★★

I have been working with Livewire for just under a year. Everyone I deal with from the office staff to the installers are professional and knowledgeable.

John Dzubiak

★★★★★

Livewire replaced the old SONOS Connect with a new Port in my A/V system. The technician, Andre, was meticulous in making sure the new component worked seamlessly in my system. In doing so, he discovered an audio synch issue between rooms and corrected it. Andre was equally helpful in making sure I knew the most efficient way to use the Port through my C4 and SONOS apps.

David Ogburn

★★★★★

Andre was punctual and made sure all was working properly and answered any questions I had.

gordon bloom

★★★★★

Just had Live Wire at home, highly impressed.

Kevin Morris

★★★★★

I've had several interactions with Livewire at this point and with each one they have been hyper focused on providing outstanding customer service. From the project management of the initial install of my system, to the Service call and general maintenance on the A/V side - I couldn't be happier.I have communicated directly with all levels of this company from the CEO, COO, Accounting Department, Service Manager and Service Technicians and every person has been polite, professional, knowledgeable and eager to provide that top notch white glove service that is sorely missing today. All the interactions have been positive. They have earned 5 stars on this review because if any of my neighbors, family or friends ask me for a recommendation for an A/V company I wouldn't hesitate to provide them with Livewire's contact information and website.In the future when I find myself in need of upgrading my current system or adding new components - there is no other choice for me other than Livewire in Richmond, VA.

Todd Hurst

★★★★★

Everything was great! Enjoyed working with Marshall as always & Josh did a great job on the install, thanks again!

mike shepherd

★★★★★

Very impressed with their ability to assess the layout of a large house and re-work/install ethernet cables and ports where we needed them in a 5 hour timeframe. Their work is worth every penny and now we have high speed internet for work and gaming. Thank you, Livewire!

Zach Guion

★★☆☆☆

When you call they don't have someone in the store pickup so I waited 3 days for a call back from sales. Sales doesn't have access to their inventory and cannot confirm what speaker brands they carry for me and wanted to call me back again after finding someone who knows about speakers. Bought my speakers elsewhere.

Ryan Danko

★★★★★

The technicians were on time, polite, friendly, knowledgeable, thorough, and organized. They didn't leave until they were sure I was comfortable with everything they had done and that I knew how to use the products.

Priscilla Rennie

Thank you for sending a prompt and knowledgeable team.

nancy valvona

★★★★★

Andre' and Cory were on time and very professional yet cordial. They removed the existing setup quickly and kept me in the loop while installing the new one - there were differences in the systems which required some decision making as the new system didn't entirely fit into the old system's place in some ways. But overall it was a pleasant experience. We love the new system and look forward to working with Livewire again.

Everett Bole

I read that 80% of LiveWire’s business comes from customer referral and I can now see why. From Marshall’s initial consultation to Chris and Josh’s installation, my experience could not have been better. They are true professionals with the highest caliber of expertise in their field. We are very pleased and excited to play with our new toys.

Rita Hummel

Jim came out to my home this afternoon in order to diagnose and resolve issues regarding my television URC and associated components which had deteriorated to the point where the television would not respond at all. He was able to identify the problem and correct previously improper programming errors, with the final result being that my system now operates as designed.

Grant was able to arrive early for the appointment, called and confirmed this would be acceptable. He was very professional and pleasant as I have found everyone from Livewire to be.

He went over with me what he found and did he was very thorough. Prompt and efficient support provided by top notch technicians. Thank you Livewire and Grant!

We recently built our house and hired Livewire to wire for the TV’s, in home network and security system. They also supplied all of the equipment (tv’s, routers, etc). What made the experience working with them stand out was working with Patrick, Andre and Granr. I had worked with Andre in the past so I was familiar with his easy going approach to ensuring we had what we needed on the front end. He was always very patient and would alway respond to our questions throughout the project from a sales perspective. It’s evident that Andre cares about his clients.Patrick is on the technical end and was responsible for the wiring and installing the equipment as well as managing the project from start to finish. We couldn’t ask for someone who was more vested in not only doing an excellent job but also going above and beyond to make us happy. He is very knowledgeable and is a creative problem solver, as this work certainly has its challenges! Like Andre, Patrick is passionate about his work and it shows.Grant recently assisted us in fixing some of our window sensors that had gotten mixed up due to a repair we had to our windows. Grant was extremely responsive and went above and beyond in helping us.I would highly recommend Livewire!

Livewire quickly solved the problem! Grant was excellent (as he was last time he helped us out). He’s got technical expertise, but can translate that in a way that even I can understand. Great experience.

Jim and David came out this morning to replace my HDMI cable on my television. I was amazed at how quickly this was taken care of. They were very organized and neat. All of my questions were answered. They both were very pleasant.

Patti Madison

★★★★★

Great company. My old subwoofer had stopped working. I reached out to LiveWire (after talking on a few forums and some friends 'in the biz'). I asked LiveWire what they though about a replacement subwoofer I was thinking about., Their response mirrored what I'd been told, so I could tell they were honest.I figured buying from a local retailer was a better idea than just online as the price was the same. It is nice to have near support. Well, I placed my order, I nearly immediately got confirmation. Then soon I was told the item was shipped from the warehouse and given the tracking number to follow it to LiveWire.I saw it got delivered and within a half hour, LiveWire contacted me to confirm it was there. Stellar level of communication. I had told them I'd not be able to pick it up until Saturday. I was told they would be closed but to call Brad at home and he'd swing buy and open up for me. Wow! Real customer service. I was able to swing by on Friday and get it so that 'white glove' was not needed.From my interactions, I would not hesitate to call on them again and I am comfortable in recommending them 100%Time machine forward a few years....I have a fully networked house, I did it myself, but... I had a few bugs and not the tools or expertise to solve. So LiveWire to the rescue. I called, set an appointment. Grant (very capable and knowledgeable) came a few days later and identified what was wrong and resolved it. Pricey but worth itI still am 100% comfortable with calling on them to solve my problems.

Mario with Livewire recently came and upgraded my church’s audio system. It was dated and needed some work. Throughout the whole process, Mario was there to help! The impact the new audio system has made during worship is amazing! If you need a trustworthy and kind person to come do your church’s AV and production, Mario’s your guy!
