We hired Northstar Home Technologies to add a home theater system as part of a remodel project and also to upgrade our audio, security and home networking capabilities. We met with several small, medium and big-box providers before deciding to go with this company, and we are so happy with they work they did for us. Chris and Brandon have all the basics down - they are friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. They also seem to have great relationships with their vendors, so they have access to some of the best products available. Where they are different from their competitors, however, is in their ability to program - and this makes all the difference. They do all the background programming themselves, which makes all of the components work together amazingly well. We have a complicated system with multiple zones and technologies that all need to work together, but it is so easy to use - I really don't think anyone else has the technical ability to do what Chris and Brandon are doing.

Looking forward to using them again in the future on other projects and...
Read moreAs a Mom with two littles, having a company that is quick to respond to technical issues and offer reliable and safe home monitoring has always been important to me.
We recently made the switch from another local company because I was concerned about the turnover, lack of responsiveness and having random people have access to my home and system at all times.
I met with Chris the owner of Northstar and not only was he educated about home system takeovers, and our home automation system, but his team was responsive, consistent and made me feel much more comfortable. Any time we have an issue, they respond immediately and fix it. They came through and cleaned up all of our previous problems that we had and we haven't had any hiccups with our system since!
Couldn't have enough good things to say about them. If you are looking to make a switch, I highly...
