The Tech Guy

OH MY GOD YOU MUST CHECK OUT THIS SHOWROOM!…read more Echo Systems is incredible. I've never seen a home theater company quite like it. Doug Dushan gave me a tour of the facilities and explained their capabilities and was eager to answer all of my questions. Their showroom is basically a mock up of what I'd imagine Tom Brady's house looks like. TVs everywhere. Speakers stealthily installed behind walls and in the ceiling. It was incredible. And then there's the home theater. Oh my god the theater! It's a 14 seat home theater that is straight out of Best of MTV Cribs (remember that show? With Master P living like a king?) He let me pick a few scenes of movies to get a vibe for what they can do, and needless to say, I was amazed. Their engineering appeared to be top notch. Doug took me back to where they would build and test my media server and the accompanying electronics before they would be installed in my home. I really appreciate this attention to detail. Most home theater outfits do much of the install at my home. Echo Systems does all of the pre-install work at their site so all the troubleshooting can be done there before it gets put in. Doug was very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient with my tsunami of questions. I'm sure I'll be using Echo Systems for my home video needs in the future.

I have been using Echo Systems for over four years and have been greatly impressed with everyone I…read moreencountered. Dan Reuting has been my "point man" throughout my time there. I cannot say enough about his attention to detail, his quickness in always getting back to me and his overall good nature of working with a non-tech person like me, making sure I understand all that was being done at the time. Tim, the tech person I also have worked with is another great guy who is always professional and patient with me--ready to give me his valued opinion on all the myriad questions I shoot at him. Recently I worked with Reed and was once again was not disappointed in his helpful explanations. You can't go wrong in using this company as they are one of a kind when it comes to service and overall satisfaction. Sadly, nowadays, that is the exception. Trish B.

My husband is very particular about not seeing wires and cords and was very pleased with the whole project. I love the security cameras, being able to see when a package has been dropped off and the peace of mind the system offers. He also installed remote lights switches so we can turn lights on/off on our phones (app) when we are away from home and a doorbell intercom. We highly recommend, well worth the investment - you will not be disappointed!

He has promised us on more than one occasion to return, and even committed to a time and day, only to "no show" without a call or explanation. I would be leery of using them for any reason as their "service after the sale", is terrible. If you do chose OCAVS, then I would not pay them in full at the completion of the job, until you have time to test everything to make certain it is working properly. We now have to pay someone else to fix the little things that we paid him over $3000 to do in the first place. Good luck.

Aurora Technology

Aurora Technology installed 5 outdoor security cameras and 1 doorbell. The picture quality on all…read morebut 1 camera is far from "exceptional quality and performance" that Chris Tyler mention in his response to a BBB review. While we appreciate his offer to remedy this, we gave him an extraordinary amount of time to complete a job that should have taken less than a week according to other vendors we talked with. We purchased 3 ICRealtime single cameras and 1 ICRealtime dual camera plus a doorbell but have only 4 after the dual camera was removed and replaced with a single Speco camera and no offer to refund the difference. After his failed attempt to configure the cameras and multiple hours on the phone with ICRealtime technical support, he blamed it on the manufacturer but we had multiple camera brands with the same problems. During the many months he worked on this, we never were able to access the cameras remotely although he made sure he could. One time I discovered a camera pointing to the ground which was done remotely. It was creepy to think that he could invade our privacy like that. Several cameras were not properly positioned for optimal coverage despite his moving them and leaving holes in the soffits. Not one camera was ever configured properly to ignore moving tree branches, traffic, and rain. He always stated his goal was to make it right, yet he sent us an additional bill reflecting time to rectify issues with his installation. Lastly, changes he made to our modem settings created multiple internet problems for us. After one visit, our internet went down. He started this project in February and after many, many promises to have functional cameras, we realized in September that this most likely wasn't going to happen.

Universal Electric was called to my home for what appeared to be a breaker issue. By the time their…read moretwo technicians arrived, the issue had already resolved itself. I asked them to investigate further in case the problem returned, but they declined, saying "there's nothing we can do." They never entered the home, never inspected anything, and only briefly stepped out of their van into my driveway to talk to me before leaving. At no point during the scheduling call was I told there would be a service fee. When the techs arrived, they made no mention of a charge, nor did they provide any kind of invoice or paperwork before leaving. I later received three bills by mail, each demanding $130, with no explanation of what the charge was for -- just a warning that failure to pay would result in the account being sent to collections. I did not believe the charge was warranted and disputed it in writing via certified mail with return receipt, which Universal Electric received and signed for. They never responded. No follow-up, no phone call, no documentation -- just silence. Eventually, they turned the matter over to a collection agency. It's frustrating to be billed for a visit where no service was performed, no agreement was made, and no information was shared upfront about potential charges. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Universal Electric.
