Thank you Grant!rudyard chismrudyard chism ★★★★★ David and Grant were awesome. They fixed my problem quickly and professionally. Highly recommend!Rebecca HornerRebecca Horner ★★★★★ Grant was excellent, came early, fixed our problems first time, and is a gentleman.myrick cramptonmyrick crampton ★★★★★ Grant and Anthony were extremely professional, knowledgeable, respectful and patient! I highly recommend Livewire!Catherine HathawayCatherine Hathaway ★★★★★ LiveWire was awesome!Andre was excellent in walking us through the options up front, and marking up our floor plan for the 80 or so connections we had planned.The rough-in team did a good job with pulling cables to the many locations. I do wish they had given more respect to the law of “do not run Ethernet wires parallel to high voltage wires” because the resulting interference is hard to diagnose but just results in lower network performance. In some cases, I later strapped their wires to pull them off to the side so they would be several feet from the Romex wire, eg in the attic spaces. They did generally put the low voltage boxes on the other side of the stud space from the high voltage, which is good.Patrick and the finishing install team were great! This was a big job and as a technical customer, I had a lot of unusual requests for routing and labeling and the like. He accommodated everything perfectly well, and in some cases brought his own experience into discussion to improve upon my suggestions.Last and best of all was Ashton, who kept us well informed with scheduling details, and progress. She was flexible on working around the other home construction contractors to ensure that her team was able to work unimpeded, and according to my requests as owner. Her importance to the success of the teams’ jobs cannot be overstated. She’s the greatest!!10 out of 10 and would definitely recommend!Robert BrownRobert Brown ★★★★★ Anthony and Grant did a great job today! Very professional!!!!!Kelli BatesKelli Bates ★★★★★ There are not enough accolades to properly recognize Jim Zimmerman's assistance. Even "above and beyond" doesn't capture his talent and service. After a power surge fried our surge protectors, Jim worked to find a "hidden" outlet installed prior to the cabinetry, relocate it & replace the surge protector. He updated the system and made sure it was working, and that we knew how to use the remote to its best use. We are so very grateful to Live Wire and especially to Jim.Jane CutlerJane Cutler ★★★★★ Grant stuck to it. There were some obstacles as far as the install. He kept me informed. The only downside is there was no plan to automate the install in his instructions. However, he figured out a solution.Steve NewsomeSteve Newsome ★★★★★ I’ve had an excellent experience with Livewire. Our project was fairly complex involving a security system (camera, sensors, keypads), whole home mesh networking (wiring, media cabinets), and expanding Sonos zones… all added in the middle of a significant renovation of our 100+ year old four-story home. Our project manager, Ashton H., was on top of it all given that the job ended up taking nine different days over several months to complete. She was always available to address my questions and to flex the install schedule as needed to coordinate with the progress of our reno. Our installer, Matthew S., was top notch. He was courteous, timely, collaborative, thorough, and above all we could tell he just loves what he does. He is 100% pro and prides himself on exceptional quality. I can’t recommend this team enough. After working with Livewire our home is now vastly more secure, our internet is rock solid, and music fills the air!Rawley PierattRawley Pieratt ★★★★★ Excellent service and attention to detail. Our installers, Patrick and John were prompt, communicated well, and did a great job with a challenging AV installation in our home. Professional all around.Eric HawesEric Hawes ★★★★★ Michael & Galen came out to my new home yesterday to help sort out and issue I was having with 2 of my 4 in ceiling speakers and Sonos amp connection. After around 30 minutes everything was taken care of and working properly. They were very professional and nice gentleman to work with. Would highly recommend them and had a great overall experience.Danny FreshleyDanny Freshley ★★★★★ I have been a Livewire customer for over ten years.Their products and services have been exceptional.Mark DunhamMark Dunham ★★★★★ We are very pleased with the home security and surveillance system that Livewire installed ten weeks ago. The installation included taking over and completely updating the prior system that we’d installed when building our house nearly 30 years ago. The changes included adding a Livewire Qolsys Takeover Package with new touch screen keypads, new wireless glass break detectors, new wireless smoke detectors, two outdoor security cameras and a smart doorbell, and monitoring and video streaming services.When we decided to upgrade our system (we’d not used it at all in recent years), we investigated options ranging from DIY/non-monitored to professionally-installed and fully monitored. This included the options offered by Livewire, since we were pleased with the home media services they’d provided us for many years.Brad, the sales engineer who came to the house to discuss options, impressed us with his product knowledge, ability and strong motivation to plan a system that fit our needs. He did not push us to close the sale during his visit, or during our following several telephone discussions as we decided what and from who to purchase. Once we felt we fully understood our options, we were confident that Livewire would be best for us (though one of the more expensive.Approximately two weeks later technicians Matthew and Brian arrived promptly at 8 am as scheduled. They did an excellent job of completing our installation in the 10 hours they expected (though some extra time had been scheduled for the following morning to handle unexpected delays). Throughout the process they were what you hope for: professional (courteous, pleasant, tidy, etc.), focused and hard-working, seeming very competent when doing their work and problem-solving (and in not avoiding problems), keeping us informed and involved when appropriate - everything we could ask for. When Brad (sales engineer) called the next morning for feedback on the job we had no suggestions for how anything could have gone better.We’ve used the system regularly in the ten weeks since since the installation. It’s been easy to operate (via the control panels or the iPhone app), the system has performed as planned and just as we wanted, and the few times we’ve needed assistance or had questions as we learned the new system, their support has been excellent. Dustin, their primary security system support technician, has been very efficient and capable in helping us with our issues.Overall we couldn’t be more pleased with our purchase and feel very fortunate we made the choice that we did. It’s great to encounter organizations that do first-rate work, and in our experience Livewire has been such a company including in the security portion of their business.Randolph NewRandolph New ★★★★★ Our Livewire experience was exceptional! Andre and the pricing experience was crisp and clear. We easily navigated our ultimate needs and made a reasonable plan. Our install experience with Grant was just as exceptional. He was thorough and took the time to explain our install, resources, support, etc. I highly recommend their services and would use them again if the need would arise! Jon.Jonathan HaynesJonathan Haynes ★★★★★ Representatives shielded me from the complexities of my home automation yet still fully answered my questions about warranties, any potential ongoing charges (which were limited), and setup and usage of the system. I look forward to working with them as I become more comfortable with and refine the capabilities of my system.Hugh McElwainHugh McElwain ★★★★★ Tech showed up early, went right to work after surveying the job. He was also VERY knowledgeable about my equipment and the additions I need to make.. Took the time to answer all my question and to make sure I was educated on how to use the new features.Could not be happier with the results and will definitely use and recommend them to others.Ted BreedenTed Breeden ★★★★★ Couldn’t be happier with the services. Grant was very knowledgeable, professional, and got my new system up and running quickly. Glad that I was recommended Livewire!Matt VaughanMatt Vaughan ★★★★★ Livewire continues to impress. Pre-sale support for my in-home system design and post-sale support are both very strong. I won't go anywhere else!Daryl WatkinsDaryl Watkins ★★★★★ 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. They have outstanding associates either in the field or in the office. They deserve 5 starsjohn shermanjohn sherman ★★★★★ Cory and Grant, our Live Wire technicians, were punctual, thorough, courteous, and professional. They were attentive to the care of our home during their execellent upgrade of our internet speed and the precise installation of smart televisions, Sonos sound bars, and Sonos speakers. They patiently instructed us on the download of the Sonos app and its use. The quality and sound of the Sonos products are superlative and have exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Live Wire and Sonos products.Nancy NeudeckerNancy Neudecker ★★★★★ Very happy with Livewire! Grant did a great job yesterday.Helen DesaiHelen Desai ★★★★★ Grant was very attentive to my problem. He is a great addition to the Live Wire teamRobert LeisyRobert Leisy ★★★★★ We contacted Livewire to come out to help design an outdoor theater system for us. Mario was very helpful bouncing ideas around on the initial visit and we were able to come up with a really cool set up! Matt and Grant showed up and knocked it out.

Installed and serviced Theater Room equipment. No other choice in Richmond. Great people and great service. All about the customer experience.Dennis GemignaniDennis Gemignani ★★★★★ I set up a service appointment to take care of a bad HDMI cable that was behind the wall. Less than an hour later, I got a call fromAndre, one of their service techs. He asked me some questions about the issue and even had me text a picture of the setup. He then came up with an innovative, easy solution that I could do on my own, for free, avoiding a costly service appointment.Livewire may have lost that particular piece of business, but they’ve won a customer for life. I look forward to having them to my house to resolve our (inevitable) next issue.Thomas HallThomas Hall ★★★★★ Matthew completely redid our video and wi-fi. He was thorough and professional. Early in the completion we are very satisfied.earl johnsonearl johnson ★★★★★ Great customer service. Professional and knowledgeable installers/technicians.

Thank you.Rita CharlesRita Charles ★★★★★ Live Wire has done a fantastic jobPersonal are very knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. A nice experienceAl CarvelliAl Carvelli ★★★★★ The installation went smoothly, however we had an issue with our cable connection that we didn't discover for a couple of days. We called Will our salesperson and when none of the technicians we're available on a Friday afternoon, Will came right out and he solved the problem on all 3 of our TV's within about 30 minutes. He explained everything he did and gave us the old cables that he removed to dispose of. He told us if we have any other issues to call him directly. This was great customer service in my opinion and we are very satisfied, especially with Will and his professionalism in solving our problem so quickly. Thanks Will!Shannon BrownShannon Brown ★★★★★ Very responsive. Professional courteous installers. Answered all questions and did a good job at installation. Cleaned up everything after installing.carol foleycarol foley ★★★★★ 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.

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.David DanieleDavid Daniele ★★★★★ Support person was very helpful and easy to talk to.

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.James HaynieJames Haynie ★★★★★ 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.Thomas AThomas A ★★★★★ 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.
