Lennon helped us fix a terrible install of a Savant system for our hotel bar and lounge up in Solvang. We were ready to just rip everything out and start over but Lennon was confident he could replace and add a few pieces of equipment as well as order the correct televisions to get Savant working correctly. Super pleased to say he was right and we love it! Everything works perfectly and our staff has no problem controlling the TVs. This is an honest, intelligent, and motivated group and they deserve your business.

Working with Lennon and his team to set up our audio and visual system was an excellent experience all-around. These guys truly know their stuff and were professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Our system far exceeds my expectations. These guys are the real deal.

We lost our home in Montecito during the debris flow. Chris was phenomenal in helping us redesign and improve our home. We received multiple bids and I felt his was the most reasonable for the quality and recommendations he offered. The stereo system in the house and in the patio sound amazing. We have great wifi reception inside and outside of the house. Our property is covered with amazingly clear and easy to use security cameras that record 24/7. He set up our computer monitors in our office with the computer towers thirty feet away in the stereo rack in the closet to minimize the clutter. He also helped us transition away from expensive cable TV to streaming with our new TV’s without losing any of our favorite stations. His team was always prompt and pleasant to work with and surpassed all our expectations. I would highly recommend Chris and Central Coast AV.

VERY Unhappy Customer here. Central Coast AV / Ventura Smart Home installed a $34,000 AV system in my parents home under my supervision. This includes an over $6,000 Araknis internet system which they insisted upon instead of Google Wifi because they would use it to monitor, troubleshoot, and fix issues proactively and remotely. The system has been really shoddy and super slow for years and we thought it was because of our ISP. We just upgraded to gigabit ethernet, got it working well from the modem, but once we plugged the modem into the expensive Araknis system they recommended, were still getting speeds of 5mbps and it cuts in and out constantly.I reached out to Chris Wilson, who is an owner and did our original installation, a week ago, and got no response. I called multiple times and only got through once - a guy named Juan, who on Friday promised to set a site visit for Monday. I sent him an email with my information and thanked him. Today, he decided to instead reply and saying the following:I am sorry to inform you, but it appears that your system is no longer under any warranty. Additionally we can no longer service your system. I apologize for the inconvenience.Central Coast AV will convince you you need more than you do, overcharge you, and then ignore you if you ever experience issues or need service. Stay away or theyll take advantage of you too!

For the major repair of my mudslide damaged home I was lucky to have a detailed oriented construction project manager who insisted all sub-contractors be as obsessive about quality and timeliness as he is. He recommended Central Coast for our new A/V system. It turned out to be a great recommendation. I found that working with Lenny and his people was extremely easy throughout the process. They asked good questions and made sure I had a full understanding of what they were proposing. Now that we are back in our home the system works great. I have had A/V systems in the past that converge at a wall with lots of boxes and what seems like hundreds of wires. The unit they provide is attractive. It has all the boxes and wires inside but it’s all out of sight. I have attached a photo of the unit.Thomas BolandMontecito, CA

We worked with CCAV on a commercial media and network installation for one of our enterprise retail clients. The CCAV team are incredibly experienced, knowledgeable, and most importantly, are agile. These guys were able to diagnose the4 unexpected issues encountered in an unfamiliar environment, and on the fly, work through to a solution. Seriously pro team!

Lennon and Chris from Central Coast Audio Visual, worked with us to design a fantastic smart home. They listened to what we wanted and presented a plan that met our needs without over selling. Their service team has been great in maintaining our system and keeping everything up to date. They are prompt, courteous and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Central Coast Audio Visual for any AV or smart home needs

We recently used Central Coast Audio Visual to completely enhance our audio and vision experience at our home. We could not be happier with their expertise, knowledge base and willingness to response as questions arose during the conversion process. I can say without reservations my wife and I would strongly recommended Lenny and his team if you desire a high touch team to maximum your audio/visual experience.

Chris and Lennon did a great job with our back yard AV. We did a pop up TV lift with landscape audio that wraps around the pool. They also installed an easy to use surveillance system. Lennon was very helpful in showing us how to use everything and their team has been exceptionally responsive with service calls and routine maintenance. I would highly recommend them for any smart home AV need in the Santa Barbara area!

I had Glenn wire my entire house for entertainment and security and they did a terrific job! They were always on time, professional, and extremely courteous. They were priced competitively with their peers, but the level of service and quality of work made it a far better value!! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone, regardless of job size. Glenn is a legend!!

Chris and his team from Central Coast AV are Legendary!They are great communicators, have great product knowledge, and do extremely clean work. These days when their are so many who claim to be legends in this industry when they merely pale in comparison to the team at Central Coast AV who are going to be here for the long haul.

Jim and I used Central Coast Audio to set up our entire system during construction and were AMAZING! To this day, they still come and help us trouble shoot any challenges that arise. They are also very patient with those of us who are less tech savvy which is super important to me!

I’ve had CCAV install 2 systems for me, and they have been terrific in every way. They have only recommended systems that are appropriate for my needs. They’ve always been there for me when I’ve experienced a problem, post installation. They are real professionals that truly care about providing a great AV experience.

Great designs, presented options for different budgets, and provided great post sale support and service. Never tried to over sell us. They are true professionals (and perfectionists when it comes to quality). CCAV has continued to promptly support us and treat us fairly for over 3 years. Highly recommended.

My experience with Central Coast Audio, and Lennon in particular, has been fantastic! Having recently moved to the area, I had some of my own equipment, but needed to supplement with some new stuff as well. Lennon gave great advice, and everything he recommended and installed has worked flawlessly. (And I say this as someone who is not particularly technologically savvy. :-) Couldnt be happier with Central Coast Audio Visual!! 5 stars!

Central Coast AV did a great job of reviewing my current system and up grading it from a 20 year old system to be able to utilize our cell phones to control sonos with the preexisting built in speakers.Their service and responsiveness is legendary. We had an issue with the video stopping on our new flat screen TV, Chris came out determined the problem and got a replacement quickly.I would definitely recommend Central Coast AV to all my friends.

Chris and team were legendary for their quick solution to a top notch AV system in my house two years ago. Central Coast Audio Visual cleaned up an AV mess that I inherited to make the system seamless, efficient and to my liking - I had them do the same at my mom’s house and she’ll thrilled with their easy approach to the houses system she can run herself. In addition, CCAV did a number of camera systems on my commercial projects - they continue to update, service and monitor our commercial needs without much effort on our part. They are becoming a preferred vendor and are quickly becoming a legend in the SB market.

Best A/V company in town, hands down. As an electrical contractor, Ive worked with these guys for years and thus have first hand experience with them across many projects, not just one. Their staff is knowledgeable, cleanest work Ive ever seen, and pricing very reasonable as compared to the competition.

Chris and Lennon at Central Coast Audio Visual are professional, creative, incredibly knowledgeable and provide excellent customer service. They are also extremely patient with people on a learning curve with their equipment. We have used other AV companies and CCAV is the best, most qualified company to meet all your needs. I highly recommend them!

Lenny is the best at what he does! My husband has always prided himself on being able to set up our AV systems but things have gotten more complicated over the years and Lenny has been such a big help, not just setting up our systems at our last 2 homes but also trouble shooting silly little issues we run into. We so appreciate having this amazing resource available to us! Thanks, Lenny!

Central Coast AV is terrific. For both the big projects and the little stuff. Follow up is everything youd want. Amazingly responsive, problem-solving, all of it. Weve dealt with nightmare AV teams in the past. Central Coast is the exact opposite of that. Couldnt recommend them more highly.

These guys are the stuff of Legend! Seriously, this is the first time true professionals fixed all my wifi issues, dialed in my security system, automated my home, and didn’t leave us when the job was over. They also have a good support follow up service level, which to me is what separates the pros from the no-go’s.

Review №29

These guys are legit! If you’re looking for the top tier in Smart Home technology don’t hesitate to call them. They installed a Savant control system in my house that allows me to control my audio, video, lighting, and thermostat. In the past my family was nervous about this technology, but this system works so well even my wife loves it! I love the fact I can setup a party scene in minutes and trigger it with one button press.

We have used Central Coast Audio and Visual 3 separate times in the last two years. They have set up our Sonos system for the inside and outside the home, a home theater system in our master bedroom and a surround sound system with the TV sunken into our fireplace stone, all with amazing results! Lenny and Chris are wonderful to work with and I would never hesitate to use them again.

Review №36

Santa Barbara as a small city has a limited contractor supply, particularly as the expertise level required is high. I have been using Central Coast for several years for various projects related to Home Theater, Internet/Wi-fi management and equipment purchases. I have always found this company to operate at the highest levels of expertise and service and its nice to see a local company grow in competency and efficiency. Importantly, A/V and internet technology changes at a rapid rate and Central Coast makes a real effort to be ahead of the curve. This company is run by a bunch of young guys who have lots of energy and drive to be the best.

We have a high-ceiling media room and the sound (especially dialogue)was muddy. We called Central Coast Audio Visual and they put in a 65 Samsung flat screen and right-left-center speakers and a subwoofer and we have the thickest TV room imaginable. They were true to their bid, on time, smart, pleasant. We give them our highest recommendation!
