The Livewire Process starts with an on-site or virtual consultation to fully understand your project needs. After refining your budget range, Livewire collects a 4% design retainer, which is fully credited toward your final project cost if you move forward. This retainer covers the time and expertise required to engineer a detailed, customized proposal tailored to your space and goals.

If you’re still shopping around, Livewire’s proposal can serve as a professional reference point for comparing bids—similar to getting architectural plans before seeking construction quotes. Ultimately, the process ensures your time and investment are respected while delivering a high-quality, well-planned solution.

Livewire offers rough budget estimates for free over the phone. However, if your project involves an in-home or virtual consultation, it falls under their paid services. To move forward with a detailed proposal, Livewire collects a 4% design retainer, which is fully credited toward your project if you choose to proceed. This approach ensures both your time and theirs is used effectively and results in a professionally engineered plan tailored to your needs.

After installation, Livewire provides personalized training to ensure you and your family know exactly how to use your new home theater system—whether through a remote, smartphone app, or tablet. They take as much time as needed to walk you through the features and functionality.

Beyond training, ongoing support is available for system updates, software upgrades, and new technologies. Livewire takes a proactive approach and stays in touch to ensure your home theater continues to perform at its best.
