Lighting

Lighting

With an automated lighting system, you’ll never have to enter a dark house again! Turn lights on from your car as you pull into your driveway or make your home look lived in from the other side of the world! Easily create lighting scenes that capture different moods with a single button press; light up your home for a party, have just the outside lights on at night, or create pathways of light to certain rooms. Or simply walk into a room and use your voice to ask Alexa to turn on the lights! With beautiful laser engraved keypad buttons, the system is simple for guests to use as well. As part of an automation system, different lights can automatically respond to certain times of the day such as sunrise or sunset, making sure that lights are exactly how you want them every day of the year! Custom Theater and Audio installs a variety of lighting control systems from Lutron and Control4, many of which can be easily installed in existing homes.

 
 
shading

Shading

Nothing complements automated lighting like shading. Having the shades automatically raise or lower creates the perfect mood, whether you want natural light during the day or privacy at night. Beyond impacting your heating and cooling costs, sunlight can fade and damage carpeting, artwork and other items in your home. Automated window treatments are the perfect way to protect against this damage, letting in natural lighting to brighten and warm the room when you want, and blocking it out when you don’t! Shades can raise and lower with the press of a button, respond to voice commands, or reposition themselves automatically at specific times of day; fully open for maximum light in the morning, lower to half-way to block out some heat in the afternoon, and fully closed for privacy in the evening! Custom Theater and Audio proudly installs Lutron’s Sivoia shading which comes in a variety of styles and fabrics that will complement any home and décor! Lutron even manufactures a full line of shades that run for years on regular batteries; these can be easily retrofitted into any home with very little labor cost!

For outdoor areas, we are proud to offer Phantom Screens. These solutions allow you to leave your doors wide open to enjoy breezes without letting bugs, leaves, or other unwanted items into your house. Enjoy a sunset drink on your patio without fighting the mosquitoes any time of year. The custom-made retractable screens disappear when not in use and can be crafted to fight openings of virtually any size or shape.

Control

Do you have a coffee table littered with different remotes controls, always fumbling trying to figure out how to get the TV turned on? A tableful of remotes is not only ugly, it’s confusing! If your system is too complicated for everyone in your home to use, it won’t be enjoyable. Your family will thank you when your system can be controlled by a single remote with a “Watch TV” button that handles everything for you! Your home will likely have many “sub-systems”; lighting, HVAC, security, and audio/video systems. These may be from different brands, different manufacturers, and have control systems of their own, but what ties them together and makes a harmonious, easy-to-use experience is a single control system capable of handling everything. Whether you just want to replace the five remotes it takes to operate your TV system or want to control every aspect of your home from your iPhone or iPad from anywhere in the world, Custom Theater and Audio has the perfect system for you! We proudly feature Control4, URC (Universal Remote Control), and Logitech-Harmony systems to ensure the perfect controller for every job and budget!

Voice Control

One of the most exciting developments in smart homes is voice control. With the proliferation of services like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Siri, you can now use your voice to control many functions in your home. Simple walk into a room and say, “Alexa, turn on master bed lights” and they will turn on. Or, “Alexa, lower master bed shades to 50%.” Connect your voice assistant device like Alexa to a Control4 system and you can execute even more complex commands simply by speaking. Saying something like, “Alexa, turn on Movie Time,” can lower the shades, dim all the lights, turn on your TV/projector, and fire up your audio system to enjoy a film. Or saying, “Alexa, turn on Dinner Time” can set lights to your preference, and begin a curated music playlist of your choice. Ask Custom Theater how else you can leverage voice control to make your home smarter and easier!

 
 
security

Security/Surveillance

You hear a strange noise in the middle of the night. Your wife and children are at home alone. You are leaving your house unoccupied for the winter. A security system is about peace of mind, knowing that your home is being monitored and looked-after even when you can’t be there. Our security systems integrate with Alarm.com for the added security of cellular back-up of your monitoring, as well as the convenience of being able to quickly arm/disarm the system from your mobile phone! Monitored smoke/heat and CO sensors can also help to keep your family and home safe, and leak detectors can notify you of a small problem before it becomes a catastrophe. Beyond protecting your doors, windows, and interior with motion detectors, adding a video camera surveillance system and Digital Video Recorder (DVR) allows you to check in on your house remotely via the Internet and see exactly what is happening. Get notified when someone approaches your front door and see and talk to them via your mobile phone. Custom Theater and Audio installs smart security systems from a variety of top manufacturers that can integrate with Control4 automation systems for complete control. We also offer smart door locks in a variety of designs and finishes that can email you to let you know when someone comes or leaves your home.

Hvac

It’s too hot! It’s too cold! An automated HVAC system makes sure your house is always just right. Not only can you easily schedule different heat and cool settings for various times of the day – wake up to a warm/cool house, adjust the temperature when you leave for work, and drop the settings for when you go to bed – a smart HVAC system can integrate with your automation system to help you not only be green, but actually save real green in energy savings. Custom Theater and Audio can program your system so pressing an “Entertain” button can start music, adjust the lighting, and raise/lower the temperature to the perfect setting. Another huge benefit of an automated HVAC system is being able to check in on your home remotely or receive an email if the temperature exceeds a preset limit. Be notified immediately if your house reaches 95 degrees in summer or 45 degrees in winter so you can correct a small problem before it becomes a big one! Knowing your home’s status is a perfect feature for vacation/second homes.

Central Vacuum

Let’s face it; vacuuming is not fun. And if you have allergies, it can be downright uncomfortable. Central vacuum systems offer the greatest amount of suction power to get your cleaning chores done, all while exhausting 100% of the air outside of the home. No push vacuum can compare to the performance of a central vacuum system in either air quality or ease of use. Central vacuums eliminate emitting dust into the air and get rid of that “I just vacuumed” smell. They also offer the widest array of attachments for cracks and crevices, stairways, hardwood floors, and furniture; a pet lovers dream! Some models even disappear/retract automatically into the wall! Spilled Cheerios in the kitchen? No problem; just sweep them into the vacuum dust pan concealed in the baseboard! Have a craft room or workbench? Just push your trimmings into the vacuum drawer! Once you live with a central vacuum, you will never want to have a house again without one!
