About AVX

Audio Video Excellence was created to fulfill a growing need in the audio-video custom installation arena. In the beginning, the focus was almost exclusively on providing leading edge audio-video systems in central Alabama.

Founder Jared Lewis had worked in the local a-v industry, but was frustrated at the inability to fully satisfy his clients' needs. So in 1999, he set out to start his own company. Read Jared's thoughts on growth, success and what sets AVX apart.

Changes

It was almost no time before AVX was being called on to provide home automation systems and designs. Except that back then, no two people agreed on exactly what that was!

The technology that has evolved from that "home automation" catchword is called systems integration. Briefly, it means that the HVAC, lighting, surveillance, home theater, even the video and audio systems continue to be self-contained systems. They are still capable of being operated independently, as in the pre systems integration days.

Only now there is an overall controller concept that marries all these systems and combines them into one very user friendly integrated control package.

You can read more about this wonderful concept and the company that has made it so widely accepted, Crestron. In a nutshell, it's made countless lifestyles infinitely more enhanced. And very cool. AVX clients love their Crestron integrated system solutions.

Summary

AVX currently serves the entire southeast, from three primary locations — Homewood, AL, Santa Rosa Beach, FL, and Nashville, TN.

With an in-house service department, the most competent and courteous installation technicians, the best products, as well as 12 installation/service vans on duty around the state, AVX is uniquely positioned to offer the most advanced service to its clients.

They deserve nothing less.

And you shouldn't settle for less either.

Unleashing a powerful x-Factor

If one essential element sets AVX apart from all other A/V custom-design and installation companies, it's our proprietary online project tracking system. AVX project managers and installation technicians can go online from anywhere in the world and view the complete project status! We're up-to-date in real time on every single project.

Here, the Homewood AVX team is discussing a particular project during its weekly planning and review session.

Show Off

We've found that if our clients can't show us how to use their systems, they've wasted their money. So we go through an organized training process for all family members. It's simple and fun. And it's why our clients send us so many referrals. They love showing off their systems!

An AVX Demo Room

As is typical of AVX, this room can demonstrate all aspects of our systems. And it's fun to visit!
