HD Installers has customers ask us all the time "Why should I choose HD Installers to install my LCD TV or Plasma
television?" The following chart really lists the differences between us and the companies that want to be like us. The
green sections are good, the red are bad. Beneath the chart we have more specifics of each section if you have a bunch of
time on your hands and want to read the details of each section and the specific difference between HD Installers the true
installation company and the others listed.
television?" The following chart really lists the differences between us and the companies that want to be like us. The
green sections are good, the red are bad. Beneath the chart we have more specifics of each section if you have a bunch of
time on your hands and want to read the details of each section and the specific difference between HD Installers the true
installation company and the others listed.
Licensed and Certified Residential Installation Company:
HD Installers is the only company on the list is licensed and certified to provide residential installation services in every city we provide services
for. The two big box stores typically hirer outside contractors to provide services and do not require that they be certified or licensed because it
would eat into their profits to higher qualified individuals. Just because a geek can load windows on your computer and they had to pay for
liability insurance they decided to give the installation service a crack. Fortunately for HD Installers we have to go back out on several of their
installs on a weekly basis which is unfortunate for the customer because they could have had their system installed correctly the first time and at
about 40% of their final cost. Zip Install is just a call center... they do not have 1 licensed certified installation professional on staff and uses
computer guys that they out source the work through a 3rd party... we don't expect them to be around much longer due to poor performance that
our customers have complained about with their 3rd party. We love Craigs list for finding deals and a few of our installers have found love in the
personals section but the fact that this is they only means of advertising is a good indication that the company does not have the means or
methods to get licensed and certified. Remember you get what you pay for...
Licensed and Certified Commercial Installation Company:
Simply put all of the companies listed above are not certified to work in a commercial building or to complete commercial work. Some of the
companies will even refuse the work. Which legally that is what they are supposed to do but some actually accept the work, do not know
commercial building codes and requirements and can open your business up to lawsuits and liability for contracting with a unlicensed contractor.
Do not trust your business with a company that doesn't even find it worth their time to obtain the proper licensing to install your commercial
monitors or displays.
Certified to install low voltage in every state:
recent example of this is in Seattle a company provided installation services for a local food chain. The installation company was not properly
recent example of this is in Seattle a company provided installation services for a local food chain. The installation company was not properly
certified to run the cabling in the walls. The food chain had completed 2 installations per location at 15 locations. While installing one of the last
locations a local electrician was observing the installation, he saw that the installer wasn't following proper code and ask him if he was licensed.
The installer replied no that he wasn't and that he already completed 14 other locations. The local electrician reported the installer and food chain
to the authorities the food chain was fined $20,000 per location for $300,000.00 total. The local food chain was then ordered to have everything
reinstalled. That is how HD Installers got involved and how we know about the details of this story. Learn from there mistake and save yourself
all these fines.
Offers licensed electricians in every state:
HD Installers is the only company to offer licensed electricians in every state so you can have your outlet put behind your television. With Best
Buy, Circuit City or Zip Install you must find your own electrician and pay them to come out and to move the outlet. You end up paying more
to move your electrical outlet by going this route because you're paying the overhead of having two visits instead of one. The current U.S. average
to have an outlet moved / relocated up to 6' is $450. You can usually save about $150 by having your outlet relocation completed at the same time
of your television installation or home theater installation.
15+ years experience as an installation company:
HD Installers has over 16 years of experience installing televisions. We are a true installation company with installers on staff. All of the
competitors except maybe the Craigs listers are just marketing companies that then out source to 3rd party companies who then sub-contract that
out to another company. We are the only nationwide company that actually employs our own installers. Best buy just started reselling this
service themselves 2 years ago. Circuit City 2 years ago started reselling this service. Zip Install has only been in business for less than a year
from what we can tell and no telling about the Criags listers.
Full integration of all of your existing components:
HD Installers is the only company listed that will integrate all of your existing components. Best buy, Circuit City and Zip Install all have a limit
on how many components they will integrate. They also restrict what kind of equipment they will integrate. With HD Installers we do it all
because we have the experienced installers that know how to install your LCD TV, Plasma TV and integrate every type of component quickly.
Holds own $2,000,000.00 liability insurance:
HD Installers holds insurance in our name. We do not sub-contract out to a 3rd party company and expect only them to hold insurance. Best Buy
and Circuit City we believe also do this but they will not provide proof of insurance so we are not sure. We think from a legal liability standpoint
they must have this as big as they are. We know for a fact as of the creation of this article that Zip Install does not have insurance in it's own
name. The insurance they reference is the insurance provided by the company they out source the installs to. They are not listed as a policy
holder and do not have a policy in their name. If you look at any article from leading consumer protection experts or agencies they all say "Make
sure the contractor is insured themselves, not just listed as a interested party." To tell if your installer is actually insured ask for proof of
insurance, on the certificate their name will be listed as policy holder. Do not accept any policy that has any other name on it then the company
you are paying. Some installation companies may ask that you order service first, this is normal because some bad guys out there will try and use
a real companies insurance certificate. So by securing your credit card and the order they a putting some level of protection against the bad guys
using the certificate fraudulently.
Up front pricing:
HD Installers will let you know the price of all the work we perform prior to starting the work. If you properly explain your requirements or get
a site survey by HD Installers you can rest assured that what you agreed to pay is exactly what you pay. If you go with Best Buy or Circuit
City we have been told by customer that what was promised by the sales person was not what they wanted or what they got and that they
ended up needing to spend more, in the range of $300-$500 more. This is what happens when you employ sales people who have had next to no
experience or training on how to properly identify what you need. Also their sales people are more interested in you buying the TV that they get
paid commission on than making sure you're getting the installation service you really need. The same is the case for Zip, and we've seen bait and
switch tactics used by Craigs listers.
Pictures of REAL completed installations online:
You can review pictures of a handful of installations we have done. As you can see they are not professional pictures or fake pictures. These are
real peoples houses and real installations. None of our competitors listed above offer pictures of installs they have actually completed.
Real customer testimonials online:
HD Installers over the years has placed real customer testimonials online. Right now we have about 400 testimonials online. We have completed
over 80,000 residential plasma and LCD TV Installations and have thousands of other testimonials available. Some of our competitors went from
having 0 testimonials to having hundreds in one day. We personally do not believe they are real testimonials, nor does the Council Of Internet
Retailers. An organization that monitors fraudulent activity online and that promotes truth in advertising online.
Uses only certified installers:
HD Installers only uses installers that are certified to install the latest LCD TV, Plasma TV, commercial displays or home theater systems. All of
the competitors listed in the chart above do not hold any certification from industry certification and licensing organizations. The don't have any
certified LCD TV Installation professionals, Plasma TV Installation professionals, Commercial Display Installation or Home Theater Installation
professionals on staff because they are 100% outsourced. This prevents them from getting certified furthermore they do not require their 3rd
party contractors hold what is deemed by the installation industry the proper licensing or certifications.

Average Installation Price Include 6' electrical outlet move above the fireplace:
This is the most common requested installation that is requested in the United States. That is why we priced this service. The prices as based on
prices submitted to us by random customer of our competitors, prices obtained from their web sites, and quotes provided by sales people and the
average of 5 quotes for electrical service from licensed electricians. These prices are from a snapshot in time and may change, we invite you to
check the prices yourself but HD Installers provides you the Best Installation Price Guarantee so you don't have to worry about the price you're
getting because you always get the best price when you have your installation completed by HD Installers.
When it comes to installation service remember many companies offer installation service but not all installations are equal. Ask yourself
why wouldn't these companies get certified? Why won't these companies get the Seal of Approval from the Council of Internet Advertisers?
Why don't any of them have a single award for providing installation service? If you want the best out of your HDTV, LCD TV, Plasma TV or
Projector then select the installation company that is clearly the best, HD Installer.
