"Highly recommended. The entire process was performed expertly and efficiently. In our initial meeting, Tony explained what would be needed in detail and we were given the pros and cons of all options. We went with the Cummins which was a bit more expensive but you get what you pay for and we will be patting ourselves on the back during the next four-day outage. They provided a detailed installation schedule which they easily met. Installation went smoothly with zero problems. Marshall, Steve and Tony are masters at their trade."

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.
