Madison, WI. Networking-first since 2011
The future of AV runs over your network.
Home AV Pros is a family-owned integrator built on a simple bet. Lights, speakers, shades, cameras, and control, all running over one network. We design, install, and stand behind it.
What we do
Three buckets. One integrated home.
We work in theater, whole home, and networking. Each one stands on its own. Together they make the house actually behave the way you want it to.
Whole home
Josh.ai voice and app control. Lutron lighting and shades. Cameras, audio, and climate, all on one network, all from one app.
Explore whole homeNetworking
Ubiquiti-trained network design. PoE switches, mesh coverage, and IP cameras built to handle the load that smart homes generate.

Josh.ai dealer
Voice control that actually understands the house.
Most local competitors install Control4. We chose Josh.ai. It is IP-based instead of RS-232 and IR, it runs over your network, and it is built for the way modern homes are wired.
- Natural language voice control, room by room
- Integrates with Lutron, Sonos, Ring, Sony, LG, and more
- Local processing for privacy and reliability
- Tablet, phone, and dedicated remote interfaces
Featured platform
Theater rooms
One touch. The lights dim, the screen drops, the room delivers.
A theater room is the project people remember. We design from the room out, not the box in. That means proper acoustic treatment, calibrated speakers, the right projector for the throw distance, and a control system that hides all of it behind a single button.
- 4K and 8K projector calibration
- Sonos and reference theater audio
- Lighting scenes tied to playback
- Acoustic panels, riser builds, and seating

Why Home AV Pros
Specialists, not generalists.
Hover or tap a card to read more. We work direct with manufacturers, we keep overhead low, and we stay close to the customer.
IP-first
Power over Ethernet, IP cameras, IP control.
MoreWhat that means
The wiring is cleaner, the system is faster, and the upgrade path is real. One network does the work of three legacy systems.
Family-owned
You meet the same people every visit.
MoreWho you will see
You will usually meet Ernst on the first visit and again on the install. His dad is often the one helping pull cable.
Direct with manufacturers
No wholesaler in the middle.
MoreWhy it matters
Sonos, Lutron, Josh.ai, Ubiquiti, all direct. Better training, better support, and a phone that gets answered.
Insured and licensed
The cleanest hand-off your GC can make.
MoreWhat is covered
Fully insured. Fully licensed across Wisconsin and northern Illinois. Builders and electricians refer us because we will not embarrass them in front of the client.
Value-conscious
Lower overhead, better gear in the wall.
MoreWhere the savings go
No retail storefront to fund. More of your budget ends up in the system, not the showroom.
Wisconsin and N. Illinois
Madison, Milwaukee, Rockford, and NW Chicago.
MoreWhere we drive
Madison-based, with a Milwaukee office. Regular coverage south to Rockford and into the northwest Chicago suburbs.
Remote assistance
We fix it before you know it broke.
MoreHow it works
We can get into your network and diagnose problems remotely. Available on whole-home installs and Ubiquiti-based networks.
Big projects, small jobs
A theater build or a single TV.
MoreThe same care, either way
A whole-home Josh.ai install or a TV on the wall. We take both and treat them the same way.
"Everybody else does Control4, so we have decided to be a little different. It is IP-based versus RS-232 and IR."
