Why Choose Integrated Media Systems for Smart Home, AV & Security in Ashburn?

Choosing a technology partner is a long-term decision. Systems need to work on day one and keep working for years, and the company behind them needs to be around to support them. Here is what sets Integrated Media Systems apart:

  • Over 45 years of integration experience: Tom Wells founded IMS in 1979, and we have been integrating audio, video, lighting, and automation in this community since before these systems were mainstream.
  • Family-owned, second-generation leadership: Tom's electrical and audio engineering background and Kevin Wells' expertise in IP networking and security keep IMS ahead of new technology.
  • Electrical expertise: Our Master Electrician's License and electrical experience help us coordinate lighting, circuits, power, and wiring with the technology design.
  • System preparation and testing: We prepare, configure, and test key equipment before installation, then commission the system on site. 
  • Networking and security depth: Our team's background in IP, optical, and cellular telecom is the foundation for reliable WiFi, access control, and surveillance.
  • Client relationships that last: Clients tell us they have worked with IMS for nearly 20 years. Read their feedback on our Reviews page.
  • Ongoing service and maintenance: We offer service plans for residential and commercial systems, with maintenance and support based on the selected agreement.
  • One partner for every system: AV, lighting, shading, networking, security, and electrical work come from a single accountable team.
  • Early collaboration with builders, architects, and designers: We join projects at the planning stage, when pre-wiring and design decisions have the most impact.

Working with one integration team gives homeowners, builders, and commercial clients a clear point of contact for system design, wiring, programming, commissioning, and ongoing service. We coordinate with the other trades so equipment, infrastructure, and controls fit the overall project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Technology & Security in Ashburn

Answers to the questions we hear most from Ashburn homeowners, builders, and business owners.

What does Integrated Media Systems install?

We design, install, and support home theaters, whole-home audio and video, automation, lighting and shading, networking, and security. Our commercial and multifamily work includes conference room AV, business music, video displays, access control, surveillance and intercoms.

Can one company coordinate the electrical work and the technology?

Yes. IMS brings electrical and integration expertise together to coordinate wiring, circuits, lighting, and system requirements. We work with your builder, architect, and other trades to align that work with the overall project.

How much does a custom home theater cost in Ashburn?

Cost depends on room size, acoustics, display or projection choice, audio design, and integration with lighting and automation. We review your space and goals during a design consultation, then provide a scoped proposal.

When should I bring in a technology integrator on a new build or renovation?

Bring us in during planning, before framing and electrical rough-in. Early involvement helps us coordinate wiring, equipment locations, and power with your architect and builder, reducing the need to reopen finished walls.

Can I control lighting, shades, audio, and security from one place?

Yes. We integrate these systems on a single automation platform, so you manage scenes, schedules, and security from one interface, including remotely.

What commercial and multifamily systems do you install?

We install conference room AV, business music, video displays, access control, surveillance, and intercoms for offices, retail, hospitality, schools, houses of worship, and multifamily communities. We plan the supporting network, wiring, and power for those systems.

Do you support systems after installation?

Yes. We provide service and offer maintenance plans for residential and commercial systems. Coverage, response arrangements, and included services depend on the selected agreement. Contact us to request service or discuss support for an existing system.
