Your home. Beautifully connected.
Tech Guide brings home automation, entertainment, lighting, security, and electrical systems together—thoughtfully designed, expertly installed, and supported by one team.
Home Automation
Connected living should make life easier. We automate everyday routines to save time, simplify your day, and help your home work intelligently around you.
Lighting Control
Great lighting transforms a space. We combine intuitive control of lighting, shades, and draperies to enhance architecture, set the mood, and bring the right light to every moment of the day.
Distributed Media
Media should be effortless to enjoy. We bring together premium performance, intuitive control, and seamless access to the entertainment you love—whenever and wherever you want it.
Home Networking
Your network is the backbone of your connected home. We design for speed, reliability, coverage, and future growth—guiding you to a solution that performs today and evolves with the way you live.
Security / Surveillance
Peace of mind starts with knowing what’s happening at home. Our intelligent security and surveillance systems help protect against intrusion, fire, gas, and water hazards while keeping you connected to your property wherever you are.
Home Theater
Turn any room into an unforgettable entertainment experience. From dedicated theaters to discreet surround sound, we blend immersive performance, thoughtful design, and effortless control around the way you enjoy your favorite content.
Nearly 30 Years in Business
Before home automation became mainstream, we were Your Guide to Technology.
Today, we are Making Connections—bringing together people, technology, design, and service to create homes that work beautifully as one.
Dedicated Project Management
A sophisticated system requires more than great design. Our structured project management process coordinates people, products, timelines, and details from start to finish—helping ensure a smooth installation and a finished result that reflects the original vision.
Premium Brands
The best system is not built from the most expensive products—it is built from the right ones. We draw on decades of real-world experience to curate premium brands that deliver exceptional performance, proven reliability, and seamless integration throughout the home.
Customer Care Club
Great technology deserves great support. Our C3 Customer Care Club provides an elevated level of ongoing service, including remote diagnostics, system reboots, priority assistance, and access to after-hours support when needed.
Because the experience should remain exceptional long after the installation is finished.
Professional Partner Program
Great projects are built through great collaboration. Our P3 Professional Partner Program is designed for builders, architects, designers, and other construction professionals who value clear communication, coordinated planning, and a shared commitment to exceptional results.
Work with a technology partner who understands how every detail connects.
More than smart devices. A home designed to work together.
Since 1998, Tech Guide has helped homeowners navigate a technology landscape that grows more powerful—and more complicated—every year.
Our roots are in luxury residential design, engineering sophisticated automation, entertainment, lighting, networking, security, and electrical systems for some of the region’s most demanding homes. That experience has taught us something important: great technology is not about adding more devices. It is about making everything work together beautifully.
Today’s homeowner faces thousands of products, competing platforms, changing standards, and endless claims about what is “smart.” We cut through that complexity. Our job is to understand how you live, evaluate the right technologies, and guide you toward solutions that deliver the right balance of performance, simplicity, reliability, and value.
Building an exceptional home?
This is where our experience runs deepest. We work alongside homeowners, builders, architects, and designers to plan technology as part of the home—not as an afterthought. From infrastructure and electrical systems to lighting, shading, entertainment, security, networking, and automation, we coordinate the details to create a home that feels sophisticated without feeling complicated.
Luxury, to us, is not simply about expensive equipment. It is thoughtful design, exceptional execution, intuitive operation, and technology that quietly enhances the architecture and the way you live.
Starting smaller or building over time?
You do not need to automate an entire home at once to benefit from nearly three decades of experience. We apply the same design principles to focused upgrades, renovations, and expandable systems—helping you make smart decisions today without limiting what you can do tomorrow.
Whether you are improving Wi-Fi, adding entertainment, automating lighting, integrating IoT products, or beginning with a few key spaces, we can create a practical path forward that fits your priorities and investment.
Have a system that never lived up to expectations?
We can help with that too.
Poor design, unreliable networks, confusing controls, unfinished programming, and disorganized wiring are more common than they should be. We regularly evaluate and improve existing systems, correcting the underlying problems and creating a clearer, more dependable experience.
Sometimes the best technology project does not begin by adding something new. It begins by making what you already have work the way it should.
Nearly 30 years of experience. One knowledgeable team. One connected home.
