A modern home technology system touches virtually every “system” in your home: home entertainment, home theater, communications, lighting and electrical, climate control, security and surveillance, even the structure of the home itself. For a home integration system to function effectively and flawlessly, it must be part of the design of the home from the very beginning, not just installed after you move in. We begin each and every project with a thorough design consultation. In order to design you the best system possible we must not only understand what you want it to do, but we need to educate you on the technologies and options available. Our design experts will work with you to identify your system requirements and budget, and also suggest some options you may not have been aware of. We will then work closely with your Architect to ensure that every feature is seamlessly designed into your home. From hiding a flat panel display behind a picture over your fireplace to the lighting on the steps of your home theater down to the colors of the buttons on your touchpanels, we’ll apply our design experience to build a system that is perfect for you and your family.
Better than the Movie Theater…And in Your Home
For homes that can accommodate the space required, there is no finer entertainment luxury than a high-performance Home Theater. Your guests get comfortable in the reclining theater seating, and with the touch of a single button on your Home Integration System the curtains covering the screen part, the lights dim, the movie starts, and you and your guests are enveloped in extraordinary digital surround sound. For our experienced home theater designers, proper equipment selection is just the beginning. Our design and engineering team emphasizes the acoustic and aesthetic considerations that guarantee performance and enhance the movie viewing experience. Such considerations include room dimensions, construction materials and techniques, seating type and configuration, row height and spacing, acoustic treatments, ambient noise control, lighting control and equipment and speaker placement.
The Video You Want…Wherever You Want It
Video distribution provides any display in the house with access to common video sources, such as DVD Libraries, High Definition DVR’s or camera surveillance systems. It eliminates the need to have a separate DVD player, cable box or satellite receiver in every room in the house. All of your video sources are remotely rack-mounted in a convenient location in your home and controlled via a customized Home Integration system.
The Music You Want…Wherever You Want It
From massive CD and MP3 collections to satellite radio, TASC Design delivers systems that allow homeowners to conveniently access and control any music source from any room in the house. For more discerning listening environments, we provide speakers acoustically matched to a room, multi-channel listening systems and speakers that integrate so well with the interior design that they are barely seen, but certainly heard.
You Control Everything…Everywhere
It’s too warm. The music isn’t loud enough. I think I left the lights on in the upstairs craft room. Did I leave the garage door open? These are just some of the little “issues” that happen in every household. A Home Integration system ties all of the complex, individual components in your home together and leaves the complexity in the closet. From several convenient locations, you can monitor, manage and operate all of your electronics. Light fixtures, motorized window shades, the security system, audio and video, home theater, it’s all at your fingertips. The system can be remotely controlled from any web browser, and TASC designs each system to each client’s needs. Our team will work with you to design touch panel and remote control layouts that are just right for you. We specialize in highly-intuitive designs, so your family members won’t need an engineering degree to operate your systems.
Properly designed lighting control can help rid your home of all those switches and dimmers known as “wall acne”. Your Home Integration system allows lighting scenes, or moods, to be set with a single button-press. These scenes will never use a lightbulb at more than 90%, greatly increasing the life of the bulb and decreasing the amount of energy used to light the bulb. Lighting control allows you to go “green”, and save some green.
