We can only speculate that somehow our project needs were not big enough for them to want to work with us? We can't know what happened because they simply stopped communicating with us. Sad but true. For this reason, I have to say their business is not to be reccomended.

They listened carefully to our requirements, promptly recommended a solution and then came over within a few days to do the installation.

The kind of service that Alex and Bay Area Smart Home offer was above and beyond anything I expected. I can't recommend them enough.

After a tough start -- I had difficulty getting an appointment and Micah Electric's scheduler…read moredisappeared for a week -- co-owner Anoush contacted me by email and phone and apologized for the error on their end. They sent a friendly and capable electrician to install a new plug unit, and do a few small electrical jobs. The job took a few hours longer than they initially estimated, and to make up for the scheduling confusion they honored their original estimate and waived the costs from the extra work. It's an odd thing to say, but after a bad beginning Micah proved to be exceptionally considerate. I felt very well taken care of. For my future electric needs, it's going to be Micah Electric!

I'll be fair. This wasn't a quality issue with the work but a review for poor scheduling and…read morecommunication. I never received an estimate, and the scheduling process was incredibly frustrating. I reached out through Yelp, sent them my inspection report, then called and texted, and was eventually given a time for a phone call. That appointment came today and no showed. After I followed up by text, I was told, "10 more minutes." Well here, I'm twiddling my thumbs still after 30 minutes. I'm a patient person and understand busy schedules as I work in a service industry with emergencies, delays, and things that don't going according to plan. This, however, is just unprofessional and almost feels like they're trying to deter me away. Unfortunately, I can't recommend a business that doesn't respect its customers. Good luck.

We moved to a new place and were looking to upgrade to newer security cameras. I reached out to a…read morefew different smart home installers, and there were a lot of them that just didn't install cameras, let alone the specific brand that I had purchased. Of all the shops that responded to my inquiry, Lorena's was the most specific - this shop clearly has a lot of experience, and she immediately inquired about the specific model I had and pointed me to a gallery of all their installs with my specific camera. Scheduling was a bit tricky over the holidays, but Lorena and Will were very flexible in working with me to find the right time. They first came out for a visual walk around to plan out the install. They helped me determine the optimum angles and placement, power sources, and strength of connetivity. I really appreciated the expertise they brought. I had also purchased more cameras than they felt was necessary, and they made recommendations that not only saved me money, but also ones that would give us the best use of the security cameras. On the day of the install, they spent pretty much the entire day here - their work was extremely detailed and none of it was rushed. Will and Lorena were extremely patient with all my questions, and took their time helping me set up the camera in the app as well as making a ton of minor adjustments until I was happy with the placement. It was also during this whole time that I realized how knowledgeable they are about all sorts of smart home systems - smart lights, cameras, security systems - chances are they have worked on any of the brands you are thinking of. All in all, super happy with their work. Lorena and Will are great people to work with, very knowledgeable, and will do above and beyond to make sure you are happy with their work. If you are thinking about getting any sort of smart home system or component installed, don't hesitate to give them a call.

Valley Home Theater & Automation (VHT) recently completed a complex project in my home theater. The…read moreproject included the installation of a large, state-of-the-art microLED video wall, a video processor, an upgraded sound processor, a 4K movie platform, and a new remote control system. We used my old speakers. It was a pleasure working with Peter, Josh, Glenn, and other members of the VHT team. Peter spent time planning with me, stayed on top of the project to its completion, and kept me in the loop. Josh did an excellent job of assembling the components and programming the remote. He had good suggestions and was gracious about programming tweaks I requested. VHT provided excellent workers in carpentry, drywall, painting, and electrical. I was impressed by the lengths to which they went to protect my speakers and other older electronics. The final product looks--and sounds--spectacular! In summary, I would not hesitate to recommend VHT for a sophisticated home theater installation.

These people don't just install stuff, take your money and leave you to sort out any problems that may arise.

I wish I had called them earlier as it would have saved me a lot of time and money. Extremely impressed and will use VHT again at a vacation home.
