I was really happy with their professionalism and recommendations at the beginning of all of this but the execution of the work was the challenge. We had three projects; a whole house sound system, Central Vacuum, and Alarm system. All of which had existed in the house before and were removed by the deadbeat who previous lived there. The Electrolux central vac was replaced without a problem, they came on the day promised and set it up nicely; it works great we love it! The sound system took forever to get them to run the wires and get everything set up. It took multiple trips and seemed to drag on and on. Now that its installed, it works good and we really enjoy having the sound system. After I looked at their work I noticed that they ran the wires across floor joist in the upper level of the house where we intend to install a floor. The wires need to be between the joist so the flooring won't smash the wires. So now I'm going to have to re run the wires myself. We also had them mount the TV on the wall and that was a fiacso. Delays and excuses it took many weeks to get that accomplished. Finally the alarm system, again they took a few weeks to get their guys lined up and get it done. They were in and out of the house for several days and seemed confused about the whole thing. The end of the story is that all the work was done, a few extra expenses but nothing crazy. They did everything they promised, it took much longer than expected, and their expertise wasn't what we were hoping.
Description of Work: We had a big project installing replacement components in a forclosure home that had been stripped. We had a sound system, central vac, and alarm system installed.

I am sorry you are having problem with the system. We had no idea. It has been 4 months since we were at your home last. In 4 months we have not heard once from you or your wife about any problems. If you would call us to report a problem, we would have immediately scheduled someone to take care of it. Last conversation I had with you, you were having a problem with Sonos, which you mentioned you called their technical support and they took care of it. If something is still not working, please don't hesitate to let us know. We would gladly take care of it at no cost. Regards, Rene Robaina

Excellent! Can't say enough about Rene and his team. From the first visit to installation everything went well. They are courteous, professional and keep their promises. Have excellent knowledge and provided appropriate guidance with our installation. Listen to them if they say "go bigger" for the TV size! We initially went with a 50" but after seeing in place, went with their advice and had a 60" installed. They provided great customer service - we will definitely use them again and highly recommend them.

Response from Home Technology Solutions
Mr [member name removed], We show the installation of your antenna happened over 16 months ago. Back in 2012. We have the installers notes and it does show that the digital HD antenna was installed in your attic as per your request. Unfortunately, it is simply impossible to keep exact locations of everything we install and where it is installed in every home, and after this many months, the recollection of where exactly in the attic the antenna is located would be impossible. We would be happy to stop by your home next time we are in the area at no charge. However, given that you are in Marvin, this doesn't happen very frequently. We will call you next time we are scheduled in that area. If instead you would like to schedule a service call to identify the antenna location, we would be happy to schedule that. Please feel free to call our office to make that appointment. We would be willing to drop the normal hourly service charges and just do the visit for a flat trip charge of $75. Regards, Rene Robaina President Home Technology Solutions

It went well initially, We had some problems with buffering of movies and with the universal control. When we communicated our concerns, the company responded within days, sending out professionals to fix the problem. In general, we are very happy with the work that was done.
Description of Work: Wall mounted three LED TVs on walls, installed a small shelf under one of them, ran wires through walls and ceilings to improve appearance, provided a new receiver, mounted 2 small back speakers on wall, provided and set up pre-amp for turntable, provided and programmed an all in one remote control for entertainment room, moved the sub woofer to a new location and moved in wall wires to support it. Hard wired the AT&T coaxial cables directly into a TV giving us better downloading speed for movies, set up sound bar on one TV.

It did not go well with them. They came out to my house and they never called me back. They came and I guess they were disappointed. They asked me how much I wanted to spend and they never called me back. I left them a message and they never returned my call. I guess they were thinking it was going to be a bigger deal. They spent about a half an hour at my house and I walked them around. They kept asking me what I wanted to spend. I didn't really know a lot about what I needed. They were not very helpful. They were vague. They did not sit me down and say "Here is what you can get for that and if you really want to do a decent system, you need to spend this". I could just tell that between the two of them, they were disappointed. This was maybe about six months ago.

[member name removed], unfortunately, I believe you may have confused us with someone else. We went back to our phone and email records, in which we record every call we receive. And here are the finding from our records. You called and left a message with Brandon at our office on Wed April 10, 2013 where he took down you name and number. According to our records, I personally returned your call on Thu April 11 and left a message on your voice mail. The message was never returned. We tried you again on April 16 and again left another message. This message was also never returned. We closed out the Lead in our system since we had no other form of contacting you. We never scheduled an appointment to meet with you. We never went to you home. We have our complete calendar for all of last year and there is no record of ever anyone going to your home. Nor did we ever even capture your address. Is it possible that you confused our company with another one and gave us this review in error? Some fact about us: 1) As you can see from other Angies List review, we have done jobs as small as $200, so a small job would never deter us from doing the work. 2) We have straight "As" on Angies List, Service Magic, Home Advisor, and even the Better Business Bureau. We would not have risked these rating by something as simple as returning a call. 3) I personally visit most job survey appointments and 99% of the time I visit alone. When you mentioned that two people visited you it immediately raises a doubt that it was probably not us. 4) You mentioned that the work was never done, but yet you listed the "work as completed". Please double check your notes and please contact Angies List to rescind your review if at all possible from our listing considering the error. We take a lot of pride in our workmanship, responsiveness, and reputation. Your review is inaccurate. If you have any question or would like to discuss or even see our calendar and our notes, we would be happy to make those available to clarify this situation. Sincerely, Rene Robaina Home Technology Solutions

It went great. David and Eric were very professional. As we walked around the house, I showed them cabling that had been placed all over the outside of the interior and exterior walls, discovering some coax not connected to anything. They came up with a plan that exceeded my requirements to simplify and hide all of the TV cabling, and to lay cabling for our home network. It took them about six hours to run the cabling from the entry to the house through the walls, crawl space, attic and basement to the different rooms on two stories. They installed outlet boxes for cable TV and network outlets in every room. All network cabling was run back to our home network router. They removed all the old cabling. At the completion of the job we walked around the house and they showed me the connections, explaining how and why they did everything. Everything was very neat and organized. I was very satisfied with the job and I recommend this company.
Description of Work: We needed all our TV cable wiring in 5 rooms of our house redone. The existing cabling was work done over 10-25 year period and a patchwork mess. We wanted to clean up and do away with all the coaxial cables that went all along the outside walls of our house. In addition to laying new cables installed inside the interior walls and out of sight, we wanted network cable (Cat-5) installed in the five rooms.

There was some confusion with the time the service was scheduled for. However, when they arrived they were quick to get to work and thorough. They came out during construction and once again once the structure was complete to finish up. Always a friendly group. We enjoyed working with them and would hire them again.

The guys arrived at my house just as promised, even though I was an appointment that was squeezed in at the last minute. The work was top-notch and quick. They were professional and had all the necessary tools for the job. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: I hired them to run speaker and HDMI cable through my crawlspace from my living room to my A/V closet and to run CAT-6 cable from the A/V closet (downstairs) to my network closet (upstairs). Because their work was so fast, I also had them run CAT-6 from my network closet to an exterior wall in an upstairs bedroom that I use for my office.

Rene was very nice and polite when I initially called, but apparently he misunderstood what I needed. After waiting over a week to get a technician to come out, he (David) arrived promptly, but told me he didnt' have the right equipment to perform the work. As described by Rene, he was expecting a simpler job, so did not bring the proper equipment to install the phone lines. Huh? Why would a professional technician not be equipped to do the work? Considering the job was described over the phone by a lay person - you would think they would have either sent someone earlier to scope out the job, or just come prepared as any professional would to handle the job even if larger or different than as described. When Rene called me back, he indicated they are capable of doing the work as now described to him by his technician, but they didn't have time to complete the job today. Huh? That is poor customer service! You make me wait over a week to get someone out, and instead of having the tech get the right gear and come back immediately, you want to put me back in the back of the line on the schedule. Wow! I am operating a business, not a home phone. I'd already told Rene i was dead in the water until the phone lines were run. I guess that wasn't a factor in his decision. I would absolutely never use this company again. There are plenty of other reputable companies on Angie's List. And, if you do decide to use them, make sure you hire a technology professional to describe your job to him over the phone or you might end up in the same boat as me.
Description of Work: I contacted this company to connect the telephone lines in my office to the cable modem we have to provide telephone service without having phone cords running across the floors.

We have a straight "A"s in Angies List. I can't believe you would give us an "F". The work was described as needing to "connect or make live" some telephone jacks already existing in the offices. We send one person to simply connect the telephones as this would be a simple one man job. When he arrived he was informed that the client wanted new wires run thought the building, over the ceilings, to multiple offices. Drywall cuts for installing new phone connections in places that they currently didn't have, a complete head-end closet for telephone connection installed. This all of a sudden became a multiple day job with a crew of two (minimum). We simply did not have the resources and time to do this kind of work. We offered to come back the following week, but this was not acceptable to the client. It had to be done today!

The team of 3 arrived on time and I explained what I wanted done and they went about their business and did a great job. I would definitely use HTS again for any home theater installation work.
Description of Work: Install new home theater receiver, connect blu ray player, cable box, CD player, with HDMI cables to my flat screen that had been previously installed. They installed 5 surround sound speakers using previously pre-wired connections from when house was built. I had used HTS previously to rewire my phone, internet, network control panel and they did a great job then, so that's why I called them for this work - and I'm glad I did.

Called to replace sound system that had been hit by lightening. Came and evaluated our system. Only replaced the damaged equipment and updated the system since it was 10 years old. Made sure that we liked and could use the new system in their store before installed in our home. They didn't recommend anything more than what we needed and kept cost in mind. Very professional during the installation and made sure we could operate the new system before they finished

Dave and Rene helped me to design my system for a remodel in my home. Their knowledge, expertise and guidance helped tremendously. They came to my home once all the walls and ceilings were down and ran their wires and installed all the shells for the speakers that were to be placed in the ceilings. My system was ordered and they put it all together prior to returning to my home 2 months later. Dave suggested I use Autumnwood Designs in Waxhaw, NC to make my custom cabinet to hold the racking system and the components for the TV room. The custom piece looks awesome and the rack fit inside the cabinet like a glove. Scheduled my install after the remodel was completed and Dave came over and spent the whole day installing the equipment. The new TV - 60" Samsung D7000 is incredible. The quality of the picture is unbelievable. I couldn't be happier with Home Tech and all the guys who work there. I will be using them for any future needs and highly recommend them.

After discussing the problem, the gentleman I spoke with said he didn't think there was much he could do at this time. He gave me some recommendations for how to follow up on the problem, with the possibility of calling him back after I had pursued those options first. I appreciate his honesty and willingness to discuss the issue, even knowing that he wasn't going to bill me for the time it took.
