Customer Testimonials:
I contacted Livewire based on online reviews and after a competitor failed to return my calls. I had ceiling speakers installed in my great room and speaker wires run to a closet where a Sonos Amp was installed. Brad was very helpful talking through various options and we video chatted to go over install locations. He spent quite a bit of time with me on multiple calls to thoroughly discuss the project.The installation crew called about 30 minutes prior to arriving to let me know they were on the way, which was much appreciated. They arrived on time and were very careful not to cut any holes until they knew exactly where they were going to install the equipment. They took a good bit of time to make sure they knew exactly what would work, which was very much appreciated. They minimized the number of holes needed to complete the install and no one will know where holes were made unless I tell them where to look. They did a great job and I'm very pleased with the finished product.

Livewire installed a Samsung Frame TV, in ceiling speakers, and a Sonos Amp in my kitchen. Every touchpoint was extremely professional and of the highest quality, from quote to scheduling to installation. Everybody we came in contact with was friendly, knowledgeable, and not pushy in the slightest. I got the impression they wanted to help us arrive at the solution that was right for our home, and could not have been more helpful in getting us there. I would recommend Livewire to anybody.

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 The Livewire person was very knowledgeable about my system and was able to upgrade the software and replace an outdated and defective controller.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.

We decided to add outdoor speakers and update some Sonos equipment indoors and knew that the team from Livewire would do a great job. This was our 4th experience with Livewire over the years and they never disappoint - from the initial visit and quote process all the way through to the installation and tutorials. Great job again, Team Livewire!

Live-wire works really hard to make sure all equipment is in great working order. We had a lot of problem with equipment that was outdated, had to replace some control 4 units. Last we loss our ability to turn our movie room theater on remotely, but thanks to Jim Zimmerman every thing is now up and working great. Thank you

Good Company. Everyone from the sales guy to the installers did a great job. Had them install surround in an existing home. A lot of wire fishing, cutting into dry wall etc. They were professional, talented and got the job done on budget. The surround and tv sound and look fantastic and it's always great to be able to settle down in the family room and watch a movie, play a little Play Station or listen to music with a really immersive sound setup. Great job. Would use them again and I highly recommend them.

Love our outdoor entertainment center. We’ve had some issues but Livewire has worked with us to get them resolved. Dustin came out on a service call today and was awesome. He found we had a bad port on our tv. Switched ports so we are up and running while we wait for new circuit board. He was very professional and got the job done. I would recommend Livewire.

These guys do great work! My wife and I just bought our first house and Dustin came out and helped mount our 55 inch tv on a full motion mount above the fireplace since we didn’t have the proper tools and I’m not the greatest handyman 😂 We love how it looks in our living room! Would highly recommend Livewire!

Great experience with Livewire today attaching my tv to my stone fireplace and setting up my Control4 and Sonos soundbar. Dustin and David were both clean and efficient. They made sure I knew how to work everything before they left. Call Brad at Livewire if you’re looking for expert installation.

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%

After years of battling with our Internet provider, we turned to Livewire to see if they could do what our Internet provider could not...get WiFi throughout the house. From our very first contact with the company and throughout the installation, everything was easy, professional, and perfect. They answered all of our questions, provided a detailed description of the work to be done, showed up on time, and completed the work much faster than originally estimated, resulting in an unexpected savings. The technician, Jim, took the time to explain what he was doing and then made sure everything worked, as expected, before he left. I highly recommend Livewire. You can't go wrong!

I have been with LiveWire for 5 years and have really appreciated the quality products they provide, but more importantly the professionalism of their technicians. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient -wearing a mask during covid and cleaning up nicely after finishing the work.

I was very impressed with this company from start to finish. When I first met with Brad, he explained everything I needed to know. He took time to clarify points and explain several options to meet my project needs. I really felt like we were working together the entire time. When it was time for the install, Cory and Dustin did a fantastic job. They were prompt, professional, and attentive to my requests. I’m very pleased, and the results are great!

The on site techs are very knowledgeable and always courteous. Matt does his best to schedule in home visits, but it often takes far too long to get the tech out there. That becomes a problem often leaving us without working equipment, particularly TV. Again, it's a frustrating issue for livewire as well, but it seems to be a shortage of technicians.

Had a great visit from Josh at Livewire today. I had a long list of issues and he listened to what I needed and worked through each issue quickly and professionally. He didn’t just try to sell me the latest and greatest, but worked with what I had And made it better. He was technically strong and also good at communicating with me (I am technically challenged). If you have technical needs, I would definitely recommend Livewire.

We just had outdoor lighting installed by Livewire and couldn’t be happier with the results. Our sales rep, Judson, did an awesome job...from setting up the demo to following up after installation to make sure we were totally satisfied. The Livewire crew arrived right on schedule and was extremely professional throughout. And the quality of the lighting system is top notch. We heartily recommend Livewire.

I just had a Sonos system installed in my house- it sounds amazing!! Livewire was great to work with- even during a pandemic- we did most of the planning by telephone and the installation was smooth and everything was explained in detail. Being stuck at home just got a whole lot better.

The VERY best. Matt came to help us with cell issues and internet. He was perfect. So thorough. So kind. So personable but nonintrusive. For the first time ever, I have had internet all day AND able to make cell calls from inside my home. (Verizon can't fix it but Livewire can). Organized and fairly priced. We will be back!!!
