Harken Audio/ Video

Harken specializes in atypical AV installation and home automation. We can fabricate with wood, metal, masonry, and concrete to blend technology into your style and lifestyle. Having a high tech entertainment system no longer requires a large equipment footprint. We can adapt and integrate at any stage of your home. For new builds, we offer conduit prewire which allows your home to adapt to whatever technology may be offered in the future. We can also retrofit homes without any pre-existing technology infrastructure. History Established in 2002. Derrick, owner and supervisor, had worked in construction and audio-video installs. He began his own business to offer more comprehensive and custom services. With strong fabricating abilities, Derrick and his team enjoy the challenge of building entertainment systems specific to each home. Whether it is a poolside grotto, discretely equipped garden gazebo, or family room wall-sized, surround sound home theater system, Harken can create AV systems that fit your life. We strongly believe in utilizing distributed Audio as well as distributed Video systems. For any mid to large size home we tend to see more video displays than people living in the house. Distributed Video uses fewer sources (cable/satellite/uverse boxes, BluRay Players, FireTV, AppleTV, etc) allowing them to be sent to any television or combination of televisions in the home. This reduces your monthly service bills quite a bit depending on the scale of the project. Montly savings from the cost of box rentals and additional service fees average $75-$100+ a month. This translates into $1,000-$2,000+ annually. Over the course of 3-5 years these "enhanced" systems generally end up paying for themselves in cost savings, With an minimal average shelf life of 7-10 years before system replacement a good majority of our distributed systems clients end up "earning money" simply by utilizing modern technology.
