Welcome to Active Cabling & Communications, LLC. We provide the best electrical work for all our residential and commercial clients. We promise to serve our clients with the highest quality and the most convenient pricing.
"I really enjoyed the work by these Networking/Ethernet folks. A different provider had quoted me an $800-1000 project and said I needed Cat 6 cabling for ethernet, when really my existing Cat 5E was fine. All it took was ~$100 and one hour for parts and labor and I now have ethernet ports in every room that support Gigabit speed. Thanks again! Couldn't be happier with this."

Rush Security and Alarm is your Home and Building Security Professionals! Serving the Colorado Springs and surrounding areas we offer protection for your home and business. We pride ourselves with quality service. We proudly service the Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico and Wyoming areas.
"Working with Rush security has been highly disappointing and mediocre at best. We had multiple missed appointments with their technician until I put my foot down and said I'd cancel service if they did not show up. He started to show up after that, but just for a couple days and in my opinion still did subpar work. At first, the alarm system would not register away, only "stay". Then the doorbell camera was constantly ringing even when no one was there. The motion detector also does not work. Next, we paid $400 for equipment and a $75 monthly monitoring. I wish I would just gone with Ring because they are cheaper but I wanted to support local. When we asked to cancel we were told we'd have to pay a 1400 cancellation fee to recoup the loss of having an electrician come out and for the 'low' $75 monitoring and to buyout the contract. Initially, we were told they offered no contract service, which was the only reason we went with them. I did the math and that 1400 fee would total out to about 1.5 years of subpar service. No thanks. We took the loss but you do not have to, go with someone else or just install your own alarm"

You can customize your home theater to include a wide range of features, but the minimum components include a wall-mounted TV, sound system, and comfortable seating. Some of the most common elements of a home theater include:
Home theater screen: $250–$1,500
Low-end front projector: $1,500
High-end front projector: $10,000–$60,000
4K 50” to 60” TV: $800–$1,500
Wiring and circuit board: $400–$2,700
60-inch TV and bracket: $900
Five box speakers and subwoofer: $500
Three HDMI cables: $30
Amplifier: $250
Universal remote: $20–$200
Surge protection: $25 and up
Yes, installing a home theater is worth it for the opportunity to create a movie theater-level experience in your own home, especially if you want to upgrade how you entertain guests, watch movies, and play video games. Your budget determines the size and capability of your in-home theater, so the value you derive from the home theater you can install depends on your needs, expectations, and how often you use the space. Consider choosing your home theater features based on the value they’ll bring to users to ensure you invest your project budget wisely.
On average, installing a home theater costs around $17,500, but prices can range from $2,000 to $63,000, depending on the features and technology installed. Location and theater upgrades will also likely impact cost, with prices increasing in areas with higher demand and cost of living. Hiring a home theater installation professional can cost from $60 to $80 per hour for their services.
Installing a new home theater or upgrading your current one will likely add value to your home, as many prospective buyers will consider it an exciting bonus feature. However, the value of a home theater is subjective and depends on the buyer, so there’s no guarantee that it’ll increase your home sale value. Keep in mind that home theaters typically have a return on investment rate of about 65%.
The best place to put your home theater is a space that does not get outside light, such as a basement. Another consideration is the proximity to bedrooms or offices that may be disturbed by the surround sound playing at high volume. A higher ceiling works best for mounting a projector, so consider space and sound limitations. For help determining the best place for your home theater, consider hiring a professional home theater installer who can provide recommendations and project plans.
