I have used Technology Professionals several times since 2016 for different projects. They are a…read more1st class company for the following reasons: 1) First and foremost, they are extremely knowledgeable about so many technology-related projects; 2) Jeff Dempsey is a personable and patient businessman who takes the time to listen, to suggest alternative solutions, and to explain exactly what he is doing to make your home a more enjoyable place to live; and 3) He never tries to upsell his products or services - on the contrary, he will suggest ways you can accomplish your goals at a lower price. I first used Jeff when I was referred to him by the contractor who was renovating my entire condo in 2016. After meeting Jeff, I hired him to install remote control shades on 12 large windows, and to install a wall-mounted large-screen television complete with a Sonos surround sound system suggested by Jeff. I could not have been happier with the efficient and clean installations. And now, 4 1/2 years later, the shades and the home theater are operating perfectly, just as they did on day one. Now I've again contacted Jeff to install a new TV and surround sound system, as well as to see what can be done to move our wifi signal more efficiently around the condo. He responded as soon as I contacted his company to arrange the work, and I'm looking forward to seeing him at our condo next week. It's just such a rare pleasure to deal with a man and his company who truly care about a customer's needs, who is not looking just to make as much money as possible, and who is a pleasure to deal with. I have recommended Technology Professionals to several friends over the years, and I can confidently recommend them to you.

Unresponsive and unprofessional. Installed my home theater through the builder (who later fired…read morethem), then ghosted me after promising follow-up work. Told me to buy new equipment and never showed up or replied. Worst of all, they keep the password to your Sonos system and refuse to give it to you, making it impossible to hire someone else to finish the job. Avoid at all costs.

Had a great time, I was interested in subs at the time and was impressed by the JL audio demo. After the demo, I met Mike, Holm Audio owner. Seemed like a cool guy. He loaned me a couple of E110 subs to demo at home. He reached out via text to see how I was doing and negotiate a possible purchase. When I told him I was interested in demoing the E112's he told me they only one, he tried to sell me the 10 and 12 inch sub at a discount. I wasn't interested, as the size difference would bug me too much. So he asked me if was interested in anything else. I told him I was also interested in a direct to consumer subwoofer brand from Norway. Well I guess that upset him because he told me to return the subs right away, and that I would not be in his "VIP club". Needless to say, I returned the subs and did not make a purchase. This sucks because I really wanted to support a cool local Hifi shop like Mike's. But if he can't accept the fact that people are cross shopping consumer direct brands, he has a rude awakening coming. One star is for the staff, they have been nothing but amazing. In the end, I found a deal online for a pair of E112's that was better than what Mike could offer.

Kole Digital is amazing! We visited their showroom on Lincoln Highway as a lark. Even though we…read morewere eager to bring our family room into the 21st century, we were pretty sure we'd never be able to afford Kole. They seemed way too sophisticated for us, with our huge, tube-TV, and cassette tape deck, LOL! But we had them out for an estimate anyway. Their prices were absolutely competitive. In addition to a flat-screen TV, we also purchased a new tuner, speakers, and Blu-Ray player. Plus, we purchased (separately) an Apple TV device which Kole was able to integrate into the system for us. Installation took hours but it was completed to absolute perfection. The guys who came out were friendly, helpful, and professional. Our family room was transformed! We're thrilled with how it looks and how the system performs. Can I just say how much we love our sub-woofer? Never realized what we were missing! Best of all, however, is Kole's customer service. I mentioned how very unsophisticated we are with regard to electronics, right? Well, as you might imagine, we had a few "Um... how does this work again?" moments as well as a few, "This stopped working, what's up?" situations. Depending on the difficulty, Kole techs either came out the next day, or worked with me over the phone to get our system back up to perfection once again. The Kole techs also offered some awesome suggestions with regard to music - with streaming and Apple and, well, stuff I never knew how to do. Now, on weekends, we crank up our Apple playlist and have a couple thousand family pictures serving as our TV screensaver. It's like having a giant photo album playing constantly. Hard to tear ourselves away! The first thing we watched on the new TV with the new sound system was the first Star Wars Trilogy. Episodes 4, 5, and 6. What better way to welcome this new technology into our lives, right? Kole has been one of the best house-related decisions we've made and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for upgrades in the future! Oh, and btw, we had our system installed more than a year ago, in case you were wondering. It just took me forever to finally get a review written ;)

Well I went back and forth with the owner on how to use the basics on this system because his installers didn't help me figure out how to use it. So I moved on and by playing with the system I kinda figured out on how use the basics. Then about a year later I get a bill for 100 bucks a month from them. So I emailed the owner again asking to explain the invoice. He told me that that invoice was a mistake and it's 100 dollars a year if I wanted to continue using my online service even though I paid for the cameras and I own them, but when I called corporate and complained they told me they weren't able to do much even though they gave me access for another year but they said that he actually owns those cameras. So I went back to my quote and it said nothing about an annual fee, so I questioned the charge and informed the owner that he never told me anything about an annual fee, and why did you wait a whole year to tell me about your extortion fee. And now 4 years later there cameras don't work any more after my 3 year warranty finished there cheap China made equipment don't work. So I guess now I have to go out and look for an honest camera installer and find some cameras that don't have an extortion fee attached to them. If you decide to use these thieves make sure you know what your getting and its all on paper, because they don't tell you some important things till a year later.
