Smart Home & AV Installation in Irvine
New-construction pre-wire 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 pre-wire 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 — Turtle Rock, Northwood, Woodbridge, 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.

What we're asked for most here
Ordered by what Irvine properties actually tend to need first.
Smart Home Automation
One system that runs your lighting, climate, audio, shades, cameras, and entertainment — controlled from a wall keypad, your phone, or your voice, anywhere in the world.
Learn moreNetworking & WiFi
Wall-to-wall and perimeter WiFi coverage on a hardwired backbone — the layer every other smart system depends on, engineered properly so nothing else in your house has an excuse to fail.
Learn moreHome Theater
A private cinema engineered end to end — acoustics, sightlines, seating, calibrated projection, and one-button control. Modeled in 3D before we touch your house.
Learn moreLighting Control
Centralized lighting that replaces walls of switches with a single elegant keypad — scenes designed room by room, so every space is lit the way it was meant to be.
Learn moreCircadian Rhythm Lighting
Lighting that follows the sun indoors — warm at sunrise, crisp daylight-white at midday, and warm again by evening — automatically, every day of the year.
Learn moreMotorized Shades
Shades that track the sun on their own — lowering to cut afternoon glare, rising to give back the view, closing at sunset — so your house is never too bright or too hot.
Learn moreSecurity Cameras
Camera systems designed around real coverage — approach paths, entry points, and blind spots — with recording you own, viewing from anywhere, and access control that tells you exactly who came and went.
Learn moreMedia Room Design
A dedicated theater gets used on Saturdays. A media room gets used five nights a week — and it's a harder room to engineer, because it has to work with the lights on, with twelve people in it, and with sun coming through the windows.
Learn moreSystem Rescue & Takeover
You bought a beautiful house with a system nobody will support. The original dealer doesn't return calls, half of it doesn't work, and nobody left you a password. We take those systems over — and most of the time we can fix them rather than replace them.

“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, WiFi & 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.

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 — 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.
