He made an attempt to try and make things right and I do try to support local business which is why I didn't take it to Best Buy where I got the tv five years to be looked at in the first place. It sounded like he is trying to improve things since there was a more than a good chance the tv would have been repairable.

From the owner: Clearview Technologies stands out because we don’t just install systems—we build dependable…read moreinfrastructure that businesses and homeowners can actually rely on day to day. In an industry where rushed installs and poor communication are common, we focus on doing the job right the first time, with clean, organized work and long-term performance in mind. What makes us different is how we approach relationships. We’re selective about who we work with, prioritizing partnerships with clients, builders, and property managers who value quality, reliability, and clear communication. That allows us to stay responsive, accountable, and consistent—rather than stretched thin chasing volume. We also bring a well-rounded, practical approach to low-voltage solutions. From structured cabling and network infrastructure to security, access control, WiFi, and audio, we design systems that are scalable and built to support growth. We collaborate with IT partners when needed, ensuring clients get a seamless, fully integrated solution instead of a patchwork of vendors. At the end of the day, customers choose Clearview Technologies because they want a partner they can trust—someone who shows up, communicates clearly, and delivers systems that work the way they’re supposed to, long after the job is finished.

I have nothing but good things to say about this company. They were the only one out of five…read morecompanies that returned my call. The electrician even communicated well with me through text. One thing I will say is I requested to wall sconces and a fan and I even asked electrician to pick up all the materials. They went above and beyond they did the whole project. I asked him to takeoff his shoes when he was in the house he did that and more and even cleaned up the whole project. I would say this company has a great value. A great attitude. And willing to do what the homeowner requests. This company is my go to electrical service.

Never, have I ever, been spoken to in such a demeaning manner than when I called Premier Electric…read moretoday to discuss an extremely high bill for the hook up of my hot tub. The women who works as the office manager was immediately defensive and condescending as I tried to to explain my frustration over (In my opinion) an inflated bill. She threw questions at me that didn't make sense, talking down to me by saying things like ... well, are you an electrician, how do you know what he (the technician) did or didn't do, insisting I didn't know what I was talking about. Frustrated, I asked to talk to the owner of the company, and as quick as I asked, she immediately replied with, "I AM THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY!" A quick google search proved that wrong, so now she lied. I have never in my life wrote a negative review about any company but I will tell you, I could not in good conscience recommend this company nor will I ever use them again. The way I was treated was down right abusive and inappropriate. In my opinion, that woman is a detriment to the company. Maria R.

Not to mention they misquoted the breath of work that was to be done and never adjusted the original quote based on the final labor performed. They left without fully explaining how to use half the equipment, which, of course, broke. I was supposed to have a seamless wall without visible cords or cables and instead I have a hole in my wall, cables strewn all over the place, and a tv that doesn't work how it's supposed to. Furthermore, I moved the reciver and sub myself to the right as quoted In the proposal. It took days of their responding to my calls and emails before they finally quoted a ridiculous amount of money to come and fix the issues. And of course once I refused to pay for their poor craftsmanship, they've stopped answering emails or phone calls and refuse to come out to diagnose and fix the problem. Terrible customer service. Could've had my grandmother do the same quality of work. What a waste of time, energy, and money.

First off, this review is based upon interactions online and over the phone with an employee of AV…read morePerformance Innovations. I do not touch on the attributes pertaining to installation or specific products used by AV Performance Innovations. This is a review purely based upon customer service and brand representation. Goodness me... It seems that the arrogant audio and videophile mindset has overtaken AV Performance Innovations, due to the fierce representation of "the brand image" by an employee whose name I shall not unveil. After placing an inquiry via their website, I received a phone call this afternoon from that employee, whom immediately revealed a surplus of "toot my own horn" articulation--covering up the "we only deal with folks who want to spend $10,000 and up" sales pitch. Attempting to brush his attitude aside, I explained what we were looking for in our new home. Nothing major -- just want to get our feet wet with a home theater setup before we go all-in 3-5 years from now. My elaborations touched upon the different speakers I've perused, as well as the projector that sufficed for now. To my astonishment, he not only abruptly slammed my research (and advice I received from half a dozen others on AVS Forums, WireCutter, etc.) but also randomly defaced Best Buy--touting that "AV Performance Innovations only deals in high-end equipment and clientele that can afford the best. BenQ, SVS, and blue shirts at Best Buy only deal in data processors and market waste." Wow! A strong opinion that he's entitled to (I suppose), however, if I was the owner of AV Performance Innovations, I would quickly pull him into the office and have a "come to Jesus meeting" on how to speak with potential customers and people in your community. I hate to say it, but he sounded an awful lot like our fearless Twitter "tweeting President", Donald J. Trump. Unfortunately, for him and AV Performance Innovations--by association--I will be spreading the word on the awful customer service and arrogant company attitude.
