Smart Home & AV Installation in Irvine
New construction prewire and full smart home integration across Irvine's village communities.
Working in Irvine
Irvine builds faster than almost anywhere else in Orange County, and that changes what good AV work looks like here. In Orchard Hills, Portola Springs, and the Great Park neighborhoods, we're often on site before drywall, running structured cable, setting back boxes, and coordinating with the builder's low voltage schedule so the house is ready for a system it doesn't have yet.
That prewire window is worth taking seriously. An hour of planning at rough in saves a week of fishing wire through finished walls three years later, and it costs a fraction as much. Even if you're not installing a theater or lighting control today, getting the infrastructure in while the studs are open keeps every future option open.
For the established villages of Turtle Rock, Northwood, Woodbridge, and University Park, the work is retrofit, and it's a different craft. Wireless lighting control, RF shades, and carefully surveyed access points let us deliver a full system without opening finished walls.

“I had the pleasure of working with Ashkan on multiple AV installations in the past 10+ years. His team performed a complete update of the media room which includes a multi-screen projection home theater, music server, whole house audio, dedicated 2Ch HiFi system, as well as Crestron automation for AV, lighting & shades. The most recent project is a second HT AV system for the family room/kitchen remodel. It's a complex installation & we're very happy with the job. Ashkan is always professional, responsive & reliable with excellent after sales/installation supports. Highly recommended.”David NgOrange County · Home theater & whole house audioVerified Google review
“I have worked with Ashkan Baghaee for over seven years. He and his team installed and since have maintained the AV, WiFi, and camera systems at our house. They at all times have been effective, professional, and responsive. I have recommended Ashkan to numerous neighbors, friends, and relatives, and those who have worked with him have provided very positive reports. I will continue to recommend Ashkan to anyone in need of his services.”Don DickersonOrange County · AV, Wi-Fi & camerasVerified Google review

Ashkan has always made himself available and been quick to help with any AV issues. A Pro from start to finish and he will stay with you to make sure your happy. Highly recommend”Mike MNewport Beach · Whole home AVVerified Google review

Common questions from Irvine homeowners
Do you install smart home systems in Irvine?
Yes. Irvine is part of our regular service area and we work there routinely. If your Irvine home is still under construction, the highest value hour you'll spend is a walkthrough at rough in. Builder low voltage packages cover the minimum, not a designed system, and once drywall is up, options narrow and costs climb. Call (949) 275-1232 or request a free quote and we'll walk the property with you.
Which neighborhoods in Irvine do you cover?
All of them, including Shady Canyon, Turtle Rock, Orchard Hills, Portola Springs, and 5 more. If you're just outside the city limits, ask, because we cover the surrounding communities too.
What does a project in Irvine usually involve?
Irvine builds faster than almost anywhere else in Orange County, and that changes what good AV work looks like here. In Orchard Hills, Portola Springs, and the Great Park neighborhoods, we're often on site before drywall, running structured cable, setting back boxes, and coordinating with the builder's low voltage schedule so the house is ready for a system it doesn't have yet. We start with a free on site consultation so the proposal reflects your actual property rather than a generic package.
How quickly can you get out to Irvine?
Usually within a few days for an initial consultation. We're based in Orange County, so we're not driving in from another county. That also means we're around for service after the install, which matters more than most people expect.
