8.  What is your favorite piece of equipment that you have displayed in the Coastal Home Gallery, and why?  (I realize I am talking to two of you, so there may be two different answers here.) My favorite would have to be the Media Room, graphics on the acoustical panels, the way the audio fills the room, the comfortable seating arrangement and the starfield ceiling.

9.  Is your equipment easy to learn how to operate?  Yes, we make the equipment we install VERY easy and user friendly by installing custom configured remote controls with 1-button press control.

For instance we can hook-up and mount a customer purchased TV and audio system, configure and connect home automation, or install control lighting and HVAC control for one touch panel.  We do it all.

13.  Call you tell your customers about Vision Art?  We have that displayed here in the Coastal Home Gallery, and I find it amazing. The VisionArt is a product that allows the customer to mount a TV in a location where a picture would be better suited.  It's a high quality picture frame with a reproduction picture that is on canvas and when the TV is powered on the picture rolls up in top of the picture frame so you are able to view the TV.  When the TV is powered off the picture is rolled back down in position as to cover up the TV.  When the TV is off you can not tell there is a TV behind the picture.

14.  Are you products warrantied?  Do you offer any other type of warranty or service contract for your customers? Yes,  all products come with at least a 1 year warranty.  We do offer additional on-site warranties which include a 3 hour response time with a direct replacement at our expense.  These types of warranties have been very beneficial to customers who really are not interested in doing without their audio or video systems, not even for a day.  We are there within 3 hours and we get them back up and going.

15.  Can you provide products for outdoor usage?  If so, will your products withstand the harsh environment of living on the coast?  Yes,  we provide a complete line of outdoor speakers and TVs.  Our outdoor speakers range from rock, flower bed, fish, frog and planter speakers.  Our outdoor TVs from Runco and SunBrite are built with weatherproof enclosures that offer internal cooling and heating devices which are controlled by a themostat. You can wash these TVs off with a water hose.
