They've set up 5 of our properties across Placerville, Auburn, Pollock Pines, Plymouth, and Rancho, with and when we need service, they show up. Period. They answer calls, respond to texts, and understand that I'm not exactly the "wait patiently" type when something needs to get handled ... and every single time, they come through. Their security camera systems are high quality and exactly what we needed and are dialed in positioned exactly where they need to be, with easy access from both our office and our cell phones. That level of setup and functionality makes a huge difference in day-to-day operations. That kind of reliability is hard to find. Good people, solid work, and dependable when it matters.

Unfortunately, less than a year after installation, one of our main cameras became disconnected…read more After troubleshooting and inspecting everything ourselves, we discovered the wire was being damaged every time the garage door opened and closed. I reached out to Allen for assistance, and getting any response or action taken has been extremely frustrating. It took 10 days just for him to come look at the issue. He then decided the entire camera needed to be replaced. After waiting weeks for the replacement, he installed the new camera using the same damaged wiring and the camera still does not work. Since then, I've reached out multiple times trying to get this resolved properly, but I've either been ignored or told that he has "bigger projects" to handle. I repeatedly asked to simply be added to the schedule so the issue could finally be fixed, but there has been no accountability or follow through. Very disappointing experience, especially considering this issue appears to stem from improper installation in the first place.

Vince was excellent. He mounted 2 TVs and was detail oriented, efficient, and careful. He did a…read moregreat job with cable organization as well. I thought his prices were fair and competitive. He also conducted himself professionally. I never got the sense he was trying to upsell unnecessary work. In fact, he provided reasonable options (e.g., buy cables and TV mounts from him, or he could install equipment I brought myself). Prices for his own equipment and cables were good. Going forward, I'll hire him again for more Ethernet networking and security camera installation work. I recommend him! Update 2025-12: I had Vince return for ethernet fixing and security camera installation and he did a phenomenal job. We discussed the different locations for the camera to determine their trade-offs. The whole time, I felt like he was prioritizing what would work for me rather than what was optimal for him. He was professional, friendly, flexible, and patient with great attention to detail. He did an amazing job installing the camera. Will definitely work with him in the future. I recommend him without reservation. He will be our go to for ethernet, TV mounting, home audio, and home security installation.

I hired their team for a 6-camera install around the outside of my house. I went over the details…read morewith Mike, the owner, on the phone and he sent his guys out on the next available appointment. Mike said his guys knew their stuff through their experience with all sorts of installs, but I think he should have also advertised their level of effort. I went over the plan with the guys assigned to the job - Matt and Robert. They helped me tweak it in line with their professional opinion, the reality of the install, and how hide the ethernet runs. To my surprised, they offered to and spent the extra time to create runs inside a smaller attic to mount two of the cameras to leave no visible wiring to the device. Check the pictures for a few of the installs. I've given the cameras a few days to soak test against high load and moderately toasty temperatures outside (Lower conductivity and high data traffic to challenge the install.). So far it has worked pretty darn good on the first go. Beyond the install, Mike and the team respected my decision to acquire and manage my own cameras, poe switches, and VMS. They didn't attempt at all to make any sales pitches but did offer to help me acquire cameras if I needed their assistance to do so. I appreciate all of this because I know doing this kind of work for a residential building doesn't provide the best returns for a business and many have stopped offering wired camera install services - including the low voltage installers for my home! On top of that, they do this at a very reasonable price.

Great service from beginning to end…read more I recently purchased a new home and had the pre-wire installed so that we could decide on what system to go with at a later time. John gave me his card and I reached out to him several months later when we moved in. He was really helpful in fine-tuning what I needed or didn't need in my system and explored a bunch of different options for me. Once we had decided on picking out a system, I was reached out to by Theresa and she let me know what the process would be like and what i should expect. On the day of the install, Roddy called me in the morning to let me know he was on the way and what time I should expect him by. He came in looked at the area, and told me how long he would take. Throughout this whole process each team member has been very polite, helpful and friendly. You don't see this kind of genuine service very often. You usually get a sale rep trying to up-sell you on things you don't need, a very short and unfriendly phone call from a rep to book an appointment and a tech that just sped

I could call someone in the Placerville area, but I would not risk it given I know Republic Elite offers years of expertise, has affordable prices, addresses needs immediately, and has superb quality! Recently, a mountain lion showed up on my front porch. I contacted the President of Republic Elite, Brian Motheral. He completely understood my needs and set up an appointment to install new cameras with alarms that would go off if a mountain lion showed up again. Which, it did! Thankfully, the alarms Mr. Motheral had his team install, went off loudly, notifying me of activity. The alarm comes on in addition to light's blinking repeatedly. Scared off the mountain lion immediately! Exceptional company to work with. Brian's team is thorough, pleasant to work with, they understand automation needs, and they didn't leave a mess. Excellent company! Call the president, Mr. Brian Motheral as he will understand your needs and address your concerns with quality solutions. Nancy

I had been without a working TV for quite awhile, and Samsung was scheduled to come mid-afternoon today. I was really hoping to be able to watch the 49ers game at 5:00 PM. Josh dispatched Eric and his helper (his delightful and very capable spouse), and they stayed until after 6:30 PM on a Saturday night making sure everything was perfect. They didn't just mount the TV -- they handled all the moving parts: getting the Samsung and Xfinity remotes working correctly, restoring soundbar volume control, troubleshooting connection issues, and reconnecting my Apple TV. Eric's communication was excellent throughout the day and the whole experience was beyond my expectations. Afterward, I looked at their website and realized how many different services they offer -- and that's their edge. You're not hiring "two guys who can hang a TV." You're hiring people who actually know how to make the entire system work together. Before you go with the cheapest estimate, consider everything beyond just hanging it on the wall. This team is worth it. These are the people I'll call every time.

I like that they switched to a no commission based sales model years ago and why I shop here. This most recent purchase of a laptop had less than stellar service experience and left much to be desired. I was upsold for an upgraded computer model, a credit card, and membership without real explanations other than I was getting a deal. The manager Raymond called me within a day without hesitation when I sent in my follow-up feedback response. He assured me this is not the type of business he runs and nor appropriate behavior of his associates. He went above and beyond and proved that this location strives for the highest integrity. They truly value the customers that take the time to shop in person in a world of online sales. He had Angel assist me in correcting the sales reps misstep, who wasn't even this locations employee but a fill in a from another store and just assisting for a day. Angel was also top notch. I will continue to refer people to this location as well as Best Buy based on how this situation was rectified leaving me feeling good as I walked away this time as I have in all previous interactions before this.

The people who delivered my new washer & dryer the second time were awesome. They are respectful,…read moreprofessional, and efficient. The first install eperience two days prior was a nightmare. The "professional" stated there wasn't enough clearance. That was incorrect, clearly. He went out to his vehicle to talk with his boss on the phone, but said he'd be back in. I was going to tell him to install it anyway, but instead he left without talking with me. This was disrespectful and unprofessional since he said he'd be coming back to talk with me. He then came back to grab his clipboard and I told him I still wanted my washer & dryer. He said his boss already told him to move on. Needless to say, I was absolutely furious. I had to miss a day of work for this install and, for the reschedule, I had to miss another. To add insult to injury, this installer took my old hoses, meaning he stole them. I never authorized a removal of the old washer & dryer anyway, so he had no grounds and no permission to take any of the old equipment, yet took the liberty to do so. This was the worst experience I ever had from Best Buy. But, like I said, the installers who actually delivered and installed were 5 stars, the overall experience was 1 star. I lost a lot of money and time from this. I had to wash clothes by hand yesterday and hang dry them, causing me to lose out on more work since it took nearly 3 hours. I still want my old washer hoses back, but Best Buy has not mitigated the issue. I try and call the store directly and I am instead redirected to a call center in India. I was promised a gift card, yet haven't even received that. I am still very angry and disgruntled over this entire experience and the fact I was robbed.
