Services

Getting your home theater set up correctly is just as important as selecting the products that comprise it. Texas Home Technology can help you with either or both and give you a real in-home theater experience. We install 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound audio, large flat-panel TVs, theater screens, and projectors, as well as a variety of theater seating, lighting options and full system remote controls.

Audio
While we tend to think of the picture first, the audio element of your home theater setup is what really completes that immersive cinema experience that most people dream of when planning their own home theater. Being fully enveloped in the sounds of the film – while still in the comfy confines of your own home – is what really makes you feel like you are “in the movie”.

Thanks to technology advances in the last few years, having a home theater doesn’t mean you have to install a large screen and projector. Today, there are a variety of flat-panel TV options available in sizes larger than 80 inches. For many clients, this is plenty of screen real estate – especially if your home theater will be in a room with a moderate amount of natural light or in a smaller space like a downtown condo. Yet, most home theater clients seeking that full-cinema feeling for their homes opt to have a screen and projector system installed.

Ambience
We help clients complete their home theater experience by offering design and installation services for other essential ambience elements such as remote and variable level lighting, staggered risers for seating, theater chairs and recliners, and motorized screen and window curtains (including optional soundproofing fabrics).

Controls
THT offers several remote control options for running your new home theater. We can install systems that run via RF remote or that you can control via your smartphone or tablet. Want to push a single button that will lower the screen, dim the lights, start the movie and close the curtains? We can make that happen.

Thanks in large part to the development of mobile technology and smart devices, home automation has come a long way in recent years. You no longer have to rely on integrated panel controls on appliances nor are you limited to controlling automated systems solely within the confines of your home. Today’s home automation systems put control of lights, music, TV, movies, weather reports, home heating and cooling, and much more, all at your fingertips. And, best of all, the automation systems and software installed by Texas Home Technology can turn on your typical smart device (such as a phone or iPad) as well as proprietary remotes. This can give you access and control to automated systems from anywhere in your home or halfway around the world. Using an intuitive interface from a single screen, you can simplify your life by automating important home systems—even if you’re not there, accessing your music collection from anywhere in your home or browsing through your entire movie library.

With the advances in remote access precipitated by smart devices, home automation systems are a great way to control key elements of your home when your away and to do the same for your vacation home. Turning interior and exterior lights on and off, controlling temperature, monitoring security systems, even managing landscape irrigation from your smart phone or tablet are all possible with the right home automation system. And, as with all our installation services, THT technicians train our home automation on clients on how to use their new system not just so they’re comfortable using it, but so that they really are able to enjoy the freedom and simpler life that home automation promises.

Dropped calls, poor cellular reception and weak wi-fi signals are a common complaint from our clients. While we used to accept those inconveniences as part and parcel of wireless networks, those selfsame networks have become such an integral part of our daily lives that when they fail us, it can cause major inconvenience and frustration. Texas Home Technology can boost your wi-fi signal and improve cellphone reception in your home.

Weak cellular network signals in the home result from a variety of factors including distance from local towers, impedance caused by certain roofing materials and in-home obstructions to cellular signals. We offer several industry-leading cell booster systems that will eliminate cell phone dead zones in your home, drastically increase signal coverage and even speed up data transfer rates on cellular devices you use in the home.

THT provides similar services to improve home wi-fi networks. The wireless lifestyle we so enjoy takes a heavy toll on our home wi-fi networks. While we used to simply rely on our wi-fi setup to handle a couple of laptops, we now call on it to provide internet and network connectivity for a host of computers, smart devices and home electronics. A weak signal or overtaxed wi-fi network often results in poor device performance or even complete device failure. Fortunately, we have several hardware and network remedies that improve wi-fi signal strength throughout the home making it easier for our clients to take full advantage of their wireless gadgets and home systems. Additionally, we also help clients determine when it might be more advantageous to “hard-wire” a system or electronic device in an effort to reduce the amount of overall usage on a home’s wi-fi network. We often make this recommendation when device usage wouldn’t be enhanced by wireless connectivity (e.g. for a TV with internet capability).
