I’ve used Livewire for a few projects in my home and loved the outcome each time. The installers are extremally professional and my account rep that I’ve been working with, Marshall, has been a fantastic asset and is always willing to help answer questions. They made my dream of having my own theater a reality and I couldn’t be happier. I know of a few more projects I’ll have them come out for over the next few years and I look forward to working with them all.

Livewire is the best! Have used them many times in the past from audio installation to smart lighting. Very knowledgeable and current on technology. Installers on time always and gets the job done right. Most recent experience was no different - excellence in replacing some patio speakers and wiring. Highly recommend them for any AV needs and smart home solutions.

A while back I posted a 1-star review of Livewire based on my initial experience with the company. I am now pleased to give Livewire a 5-star review based on the response to my initial review. Josh McDonough, operations manager, contacted me soon after the initial review went live. He had read the review and understood the reasons for my dissatisfaction. He and Dustin Roskam, service support lead, arrived today to make come changes to the setup about which I had complained. When they were through, I had what I had expected in the first place: simultaneous sound through the soundbar and through my hearing aids, when allows my wife and me to watch TV at the same time. Normally, I wouldn't give a 5-star review for a second attempt at delivering what was promised initially, but Josh and Dustin's professionalism won me over.

Livewire’s tech support is second to none. Had an issue this past Sunday with my system, and had 2 service calls on that day to help resolve. When they say they are 24/7 support… they truly mean 24/7. Thanks to Zachary at Parasol & Cory at Livewire for their efforts! And a HUGE thank you to Dustin at Livewire for completing the resolution today! Back on track now, and everything is great. I continue to love the ease & functionality of the household system that Livewire installed 6 yrs ago, upgraded 4 years ago, and upgraded a second time 3 years ago. Livewire is the BEST!

The most professional team! Brad & Matt make a dynamic duo. They came into our home, listened, and delivered. We are thrilled with our home entertainment system. Brad understood what we were looking for in our home and brought in great products. I could tell he cared about us and really wanted to make our set up great. The skill level of the technician (Matt) was above and beyond what I expected. He was thorough in his explanations on how to use the new products (even my dumb questions). When they left, it was like they were never there. Clean and tidy! I am so thankful for LiveWire and the team members they brought out to our home. In a world with so many choices, they made it easy to understand, choose and enjoy the right products for our home.

This is my 2nd time using Livewire for TV installation. The service is professional, efficient and speedy. I love how they try to find ways to save you money as opposed to trying to pile on additional costs. I'm very happy with the jobs Livewire has done for me, and I will come back the next time I need help with electronics installation.

What a pleasant experience it was working on our home theater project with Live Wire! Our project was completed 3 weeks ago. Prior to hiring this company, we interviewed and met with 3 other companies. We started to lose hope that we would find a company who understood what we wanted in our home theater set up. Then we connected with Andre, the project manager at Live Wire. The 4th company was a charm for us! After the initial meeting, we had a genuinely good feeling about Andre and we had made the decision we would contract with Live Wire as soon as Andre left our home. Andre was professional, knowledgeable, courteous and flexible. No matter what question, angle or concern we threw at Andre, he was accommodating. He really exceeded our expectations with customer service. Likewise, the install team Corey and Gailyn (I may have his name spelled incorrectly) were very knowledgeable, helpful, polite and customer focused. As a team, we could not have asked for better service with our project. We would gladly recommend and advise anyone who is looking to set up a home theater in their home, to hire Live Wire! You will not be disappointed. You will be satisfied with the entire process from beginning to end!
