Why It Matters

Your gear is good. It just doesn't talk.

Movie night takes three remotes and a guess at which input the TV wants. The music app sees the kitchen speaker but never the patio. Every device works alone, so you do the integrating.

A control system fixes the actual problem: it puts your TV, music, lighting, climate, and shades behind one interface, then ties them into scenes. One button on the wall starts the movie: the screen drops, the sound comes up, the lights fall to ten percent.

All of it stands on the network underneath, which is why we engineer that first.

"Bennett Technologies did a terrific job for us. We had just remodeled our home and wanted a fully remote controlled electronics system. Michael and his team installed TV's, speakers, control panels, et al. They also installed Control4 that enabled us to control our lights, our aTV's, our digital music, our pool, all from one system!"

Questions, Answered

Home automation, answered

Can I start small and add on later?

Yes, and most clients do. A TV and soundbar today can grow into whole-home audio and full automation next year, as long as the wiring and network underneath are planned for it. That planning costs little up front and saves a lot later.

Will this work with the TV and speakers I already own?

Usually, yes. Control4 talks to hundreds of brands, and we design around good equipment you already have. During the consultation we inventory what stays, what moves, and what is worth upgrading.

What is Control4, and why do you build on it?

Control4 is the platform that puts your lighting, audio, video, climate, and comfort behind one app and one set of keypads. We build on it because it is reliable, professionally supported, and works with the widest range of equipment. Bennett Technologies is a Control4 Authorized Dealer.

Someone else installed my system. Can you service it?

Yes. We regularly take over, repair, and upgrade systems installed by other companies. A service call gets the same attention as a new project.

What does a project like this cost?

The honest answer is a range. A service call carries a minimum charge, and a simple install like a TV runs on an hourly basis plus equipment and tax. A full automation project gets a detailed proposal, documented room by room with real numbers, before you commit to anything. Share your budget and we tailor the system to fit it.
