Advances in audiovisual technology indoors and outdoors are exciting, enticing and even life-changing. If you are technology-challenged and feel intimidated to explore the addition of a home theater, home automation, landscape audio or a security system, meet Jeramy Coffee, owner of AVtech Limited. Jeramy’s local technology business stands out from competitors because of its extensive training and quick responsiveness, which is not always the norm in the industry. But customer comfort and ease of use is one of AVtech’s top goals.
“The biggest thing is education,” Jeramy says. “I want my customers to know exactly what equipment is going into their house. Also, we want to make sure you know how to use it.” He continues, “We go above and beyond with customer service. If someone has a question, I have no problem answering the call on evenings and weekends.”
In 2006, AVtech Limited started as a company that primarily focused on the customized installation of TVs on stone and brick fireplace mantles. Nearly 20 years later, AVtech has evolved into a competitive AV company specializing in whole-home audio, custom home theaters, security systems, networking and wiring, smart home systems, outdoor lighting, TV hangs and more.
Despite AVtech’s growth and the team’s busy schedule, Jeramy maintains a small business that allows him to be involved in all of AVtech’s jobs. He works alongside his main technician, Shea Garbutt, and his wife, Tara Bolton, who supports the business. This trusted trio keeps costs affordable and offers personal customer service.
AVtech provides a wide array of services. While they enjoy elaborate projects, the foundation of their business continues to be custom fireplace TV hangs. They work with home and business owners to meet their budget needs.
“There is such a big price range,” Tara says. “A home theater doesn’t have to be an expensive project; you can do it much more affordably than you might think.”
Home theaters are a popular staple, but Avtech sees many new trends:
-
Anti-Glare Indoor/Outdoor TVs—AVtech installs Samsung’s The Frame TVs, allowing you to change the frame color and choose artwork or a logo when the TV is off.
-
Outdoor Home Entertainment—The demand is growing for outdoor music, televisions and landscape audio, including speakers that look like solar lights.
-
Bathroom Mirror TV—Televisions are installed behind a mirror. Watch a show while doing your hair!
-
Automation—AVtech installs a single pad that runs televisions, heat, music, lights and even window shades. With automation, you can start small and add on.
One of Jeramy’s favorite indoor projects was a 150-inch home theater with a starlight ceiling run through automation.
“We basically did the whole room: color, carpet, chairs, room layout and all the equipment,” says Jeramy. “The starlight ceiling looks like stars at night. There are different settings: twilight, shooting stars. It’s really cool.”
Jeramy is constantly testing new products to ensure customers have the option to get the most up-to-date technology. AVtech is an authorized dealer for some of the biggest AV manufacturers in the industry.
“I’m not going to offer equipment to customers until I know it works and it’s easy to use because if it’s hard to use for me, it’s going to be hard for a customer,” he says.
The word is out about AVtech Limited. 95% of their business comes from referrals. Customers often invite Jeramy to bring potential clients to their homes to showcase their finished work. AVtech enjoys lifelong customers they work with repeatedly for upgrades or new projects.
AVtech works directly with homeowners, as well as with local pool, landscape and basement renovation companies. Jeramy meets with all potential customers to find out what products, designs and services they seek. They take pride in customizing every job to suit the customers' needs through stages of design, equipment selection, installation and education.
AVtech’s service area extends from Columbus to Northern Kentucky. In addition to private homes, they also service businesses, including car dealerships, restaurants, bars and churches. AVtech recently installed outdoor televisions on the patios of Prime Cincinnati, Downtown; Primo Italian Steakhouse, Middletown; and Streetside Brewery, Columbia Tusculum.
