What's New

Understandably, we get pretty darned excited when one of our manufacturers reveals their latest-and-greatest model, or a new advancement in technology. We live and breathe this stuff, and lately there's been plenty to spin the propellers on our beanies.

But rarely does a new product stop us dead in our tracks, knock us on our rear ends and make us utter things I ought not print.…

As a kid, one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons was “The Jetsons”; I was fascinated by the Space-Age theme, the Futuro-Modern architecture, the gadgets...the GADGETS! Not to mention my adolescent crush on Judy, George and Jane Jetson’s hip teenage daughter, but that’s another story.

Many of you have visited our showroom since our expansion and remodel. We are very pleased with our new space, especially our Control…

In 2015, sales were just shy of 12 million units, a 30% increase over the prior year. That’s a far cry from the record (pun intended) 344 million units sold in 1977,…

We use that phrase frequently, but do you know how it came to be? The ancient Romans coined the expression for the hottest days of summer, as they associated them with the star Sirius (in the constellation Canis Major - Greater Dog), which rises at the same time as the sun, typically from early July through mid August.

The Dog Days are also used to…

Last month Home TheaterWorks celebrated its Grand Re-Opening. The occasion was the completion of a major expansion and renovation of our Alpharetta showroom.

We designed and built a "virtual home" - a unique display that allows people to interact with the latest home automation systems that can integrate…

This Fall we participated in two major charitable events.  Home TheaterWorks was a co-sponsor for the Fragile Kids Foundation's BBQ evening featuring celebrity chef Myron Mixon, a three-time BBQ World Champion, held at the Sweetwater Brewery in Atlanta.  We were also co-sponsors of a celebrity golf tournament held by the Brian Jordan Foundation to support underprivileged kids.

At our annual trade show, Control 4 recognized Home TheaterWorks with their Circle of Excellence award.  This is the second year in a row that we've received this award given to very few dealers (only about 5 dealers in the whole Southeast) and representing our achievements in the areas of sales as well as customer service.  Together with achieving Pinnacle Dealer status in June,…

We are proud to announce that Home TheaterWorks has just been named a Control 4 Pinnacle dealer.  As the name implies, this is the highest honor attainable by a Control 4 dealer.  The award, given to a very small percentage of dealers, reflects significant achievements in the areas of sales, service and customer satisfaction.  Control 4 is the dominant…

As home systems become more complex and interconnected, the likelihood of malfunctions also increases.  Devices on a network may need to be rebooted, reset, or otherwise diagnosed and/or serviced.   While we're all familiar with rebooting a single device such as a smartphone or laptop, what if our audio, video, security, home automation and wireless systems are all on our home…
