Elite Electronix

I recently purchased a 52″ LCD TV from Best Buy with the intent of hanging it above my stone fireplace. When I went to Best Buy, they sold me not only the TV for $ 1900, but also another $ 2100 in cables, wireless remote controller, the rediculously priced bracket, The Geek Squad, warranty, etc. My challenge in working with The Geek Squad is that they would only be able to program my TV Remote and that would cost me $ 250… Not a cheap fee! I was then saddled with the challenge of finding someone or a business that could install my TV in a rather challenging place. I received quotes from a Carpenter, Electrician and two TV installers:
–One of the TV Installers fees came in way too much and he kept missing his committed times to either call me or meet;
— The Carpenter could do it price competively, but they only did one other install like this one and he was not available for 3 weeks; and
— The Electrian had similar experience to the carpenter, but he took forever to call me back.
I ended up picking Elite Electronix for a number of reasons, including:
1. They always called and showed up the times they promised;
2. They were by far «the most knowledgeable» of all the people I talked too;
3. They had installed this size and type TV and they had installed it above fireplaces and many other unusual areas;
4. They could provide me all the same material (and better) than what I bought from Best Buy at a fraction of the cost, which ended up being my LEAST EXPENSIVE alternative when you factor all costs;
5. They were able to recommend better parts to make my implementation better;
6. They provided great ways to further enhance my TV install, such as with a sound system that was right for me and the right height & placement of my TV;
7. They installed what I wanted, including programming the remote control that I thought only the Geek Squad could do, with foreward planning to allow for a surround sound;
8 The quality of work they did was «absolutely excellent», clean and one my wife and I can be very proud of; and
9. They were very courteous and clean with the job they completed.
I usually do not take the time to write something about a contractor unless they have clearly more than met my expectations, Elite Electronix has done so! Neil Osbourne, their President, and his team have really done an excellent job… I will definitely refer them to my friends and use them when we install speakers for our entertainment system.
