This was our second time working with AV Connect, and we already know we’ll be back for a third. Sam and Chris were fantastic installers for our Sonos expansion; they arrived on time (with a heads up beforehand), worked and communicated efficiently throughout the whole process, and left the place spotless. Billie was once again a delight to work with kicking off the project. She’s responsive and knowledgeable and just fun to chat with. Shoutout to Kurtis as well for coaching us through an incredibly detailed lighting plan, not to mention fixing our garage light switch when I mentioned it wasn’t working. His expertise was invaluable in helping us think through our plans for the near and long term. Can’t say enough good things about this crew.

From design with Cody to install with Devin and Gustavo (and scheduling with Jessica), we had a great experience. We will certainly use AV Connect for future AV needs, and I highly recommend their services.

I’ve used AV Connect Austin twice, and both experiences exceeded my expectations. During the original installation, they came out multiple times to address a few minor issues at no additional cost. On the most recent installation, something broke within the first few days, and they fixed it quickly and without any hassle. Billie is a pleasure to work with and helped me design a killer system. Once I have more money saved, I plan on having them come back to upgrade the audio side as well. Their service, expertise, and follow-through have been excellent.

I continue to be impressed with this AV organization. After my great experience in Feb of this year, on 10/31st I had an issue with my dated IP cam not showing up in iPhone app on Halloween night. I was pleasantly surprised to find that "Billie" called right back and walked me through network IP setting issues and had me back on-line in no time! And I'm not that tech-savy. Truly "above and beyond"! As I said before this is my "Go To" A-V (and network) company going forward.
