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.
