While home technology may be intimidating for some, it can unveil a world full of possibilities and open the door to transforming your home into a realm of luxury and convenience. In the ever-evolving landscape of home technology, Barry Jennings, the founder of Jennings AV, has carved a niche for his company by embracing innovation, genuine customer care, and a commitment to making lives simpler through advanced audio-video solutions.

Jennings' journey started with a simple realization – the tech industry lacked a genuine focus on customer satisfaction and instead emphasized the importance of over-selling. Fueled by a desire to provide authentic and ethical service to his clients, he founded his namesake company. From that point forward, he has been dedicated to understanding clients’ visions and delivering tailored solutions.

In the current tech landscape, network issues are taking center stage. With so much technology present in our everyday lives, there is a strong emphasis on the need for high-performing connectivity. Jennings AV is at the forefront of this issue by specializing in installing professional hard-wired networks that utilize top-notch equipment, all backed by a warranty. This ensures seamless communication between devices to not only simplify his customers' lives but also save money on the bills each month. While this has been a trending motivator for customers, the list goes on for engaging in such home improvement projects.

Home video is another service that is reshaping home technology. Cutting-edge displays as well as projection systems are becoming more common and a staple in many modern homes. There has been an uptick in requests for home theatres as well as impressive lighting and LED panels to create a truly remarkable at-home movie experience, Jennings said. Centralized audio has also become a highly requested service. "This involves creating a seamless audio experience throughout your home, whether it’s enhancing audio systems for a single room or transforming the entire home’s auditory landscape," he explained.

Outside of audio and video services, the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has also become very present in modern homes for automation, security and convenience. On a recent project, he was able to integrate voice-controlled AI systems in a client’s house which far surpasses consumer-grade products such as Alexa, Google Home or the range of ubiquitous marketplace offerings.

An AI-driven system can help provide luxuries such as locking or unlocking your home, turning on or off the lights, adjusting thermostats, setting reminders and alarms, starting your coffee maker, etc. AI can learn the preferences of the homeowner in terms of lighting, temperature, music and so on and adjust the settings based on those habits. The services don’t stop there: The Jennings AV team encourages clients to use their imagination and allows them to figure out the details of how best to make it a reality. As his website states, “The sky is the limit.”

Jennings said he takes a “quality over quantity approach,” emphasizing ethical practices in providing equipment, offering competitive prices, giving honest feedback and recommendations, and prioritizing the client’s best interests. He fully commits to transparency, ensuring that his clients have the information they need to make informed decisions. “If I can’t get you a TV cheaper than [another vendor], I will give you the link and still install it for you,” said Jennings. This honesty and commitment to ethical practices are what keeps clients returning, building a foundation of trust that spans over 15 years in the industry.

As a new client, the project starts with a sit-down consultation, which he believes is the cornerstone of a successful working relationship. Understanding the client’s vision is paramount, Jennings explained. From there the process goes through design and engineering, procurement and project management, installation, and finally programming and commissioning. And no worries: training comes along with the new systems that have been implemented.

“I always make sure my clients understand how things work before I leave for the day,” said Jennings. “There is a year warranty on their systems and if there are any bugs it gets worked out during that year process, this is a service that is already included in my clients’ initial package so there are no surprise fees or additional charges.”

As the demand for high-performing connectivity continues to grow, Jennings AV helps to usher innovation into your home. Outside of the home, Jennings AV also provides commercial services. The complex world of home or business technology becomes an exciting journey into luxury, convenience, and a future where possibilities are limitless. Visit jenningsav.com to begin.
