Smart Home & AV Installation in San Clemente
Ocean-view hillside homes where shade control does the heavy lifting.
Working in San Clemente
San Clemente's defining feature is west-facing glass, and that creates a specific problem: from mid-afternoon onward, the sun comes straight in off the water. Rooms become unusable, screens wash out, and the air conditioning fights a losing battle against solar gain through a wall of windows.
Motorized shade control is the highest-impact system in most homes here, and it's not a matter of open or closed. Shades track the sun's actual path across your specific elevation, holding at partial heights that cut the glare while keeping the view — then rising as the sun drops toward the horizon and the light turns worth watching.
The terrain adds the second layer. Homes stepped down a hillside in Sea Pointe, Talega, and the Southwest neighborhoods need coverage planned vertically, and older Spanish-style construction with thick stucco and lath demands a real survey rather than an assumption about range.

What we're asked for most here
Ordered by what San Clemente properties actually tend to need first.
Lighting 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 moreSmart 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 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 will continue to recommend Ashkan to anyone in need of his services.”Don DickersonOrange County · AV, WiFi & camerasVerified Google review

Common questions from San Clemente homeowners
Do you install smart home systems in San Clemente?
Yes — San Clemente is part of our regular service area and we work there routinely. On a west-facing ocean view, automated shades cut solar heat gain before it becomes a cooling load. Homeowners consistently tell us it's the system they notice most, every single afternoon. Call (949) 275-1232 or request a free quote and we'll walk the property with you.
Which neighborhoods in San Clemente do you cover?
All of them, including Talega, Sea Pointe Estates, Southwest San Clemente, Rancho San Clemente, and 2 more. If you're just outside the city limits, ask — we cover the surrounding communities too.
What does a project in San Clemente usually involve?
San Clemente's defining feature is west-facing glass, and that creates a specific problem: from mid-afternoon onward, the sun comes straight in off the water. Rooms become unusable, screens wash out, and the air conditioning fights a losing battle against solar gain through a wall of windows. 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 San Clemente?
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.
