Why Upgrading and Maintenance is Important

Once not so long ago, I owned a big piece of furniture that housed all my electronics. While in some instances, furniture is a necessity for storing equipment and other audio video incidentals, the day of less is more is here.

Less in the sense of less clutter and more meaning, more centralized control from one location. My family and I have  upgraded to a master control panel. Crestron Home Technology from Crestron which streamlines and simplifies all the technology in our home.  Thus far, not only has my home had a custom installed Creston panel but Barrett’s Home Theater custom installation department has installed hundreds of Creston systems for businesses and homeowners who prefer to control drapes, lights, temperature and audio video equipment from a single touch panel.

While upgrades may not be on your radar these days, Richard Glikes, Executive Director for the Home Theater Specialists of America states, “Despite the down economy, the technologies continue to change for the better and the retailers like Barrett’s Home Theater continue to find solutions for customers.”

One such solution is optimizing the equipment to its fullest. Most customers want the best equipment they can afford to enjoy for all their family and friends gathering or for conducting business.   According to John Cook, Project Manager for Barrett’s Home Theater Chicago, most customers don’t fully reap the benefits of their electronics. Many audio video systems can be integrated, upgraded or if the system is over one year old, maintained.  John’s recent mailing to customers who had installations within the last three to five years offers them what John calls, “a system tune-up.”  He goes on, “installers go through the basic settings-nothing super sophisticated, just making sure things work to their optimum.”   Just like occupants of dwellings who have their HVAC systems checked each year, so too should customers ensure the efficiency of their technologies for audio video.
