Trusted Brands for Integrated Systems

Integrated Media Systems selects equipment for the way your home or business will use it, with attention to performance, compatibility and ongoing support. We serve Northern Virginia, Washington, DC, and Maryland, including Baltimore and Annapolis, with projects in Richmond, Charlottesville and Virginia Beach.

IMS provides a one-year warranty on installation parts and labor, starting when the product is installed and functioning. This date may differ from the final payment date. The warranty excludes parts and labor related to lightning or power surges, and labor related to electrical, satellite, cable, security or other contractors not directly commissioned by IMS. Extended warranties and service contracts are also available.

Start with the system you need

A brand earns its place in a project by fitting the room, the wiring, the people who use it and the support plan. We compare current products with equipment already in the property before recommending a replacement or expansion.
