History
History of Atlantic AV
Founded in 2002 as Custom Home Theater, we’ve evolved into Atlantic AV — a recognized leader in premium AV integration and smart home technology across New England. Under the leadership of Ryan Thurston, we’ve expanded our services, opened a showroom in Brunswick, and established a reputation built on innovation, reliability, and trust.
With 35+ years of combined AV and IT experience, we design and install lighting control systems and whole-home audio solutions across Maine. We continue to bring together best-in-class AV brands with white-glove service — delivering results that reflect craftsmanship and passion for excellence.
Our Process
Our Team is with you every step of the way.
Consultation
The first step to bringing your vision to life with Atlantic AV is scheduling an on-site consultation. One of our team members will meet with you at your home or business to explore your ideas, answer any questions, review plans, and establish a budget. We believe every Maine home can be simpler, safer, and more connected through smart home technology. From this meeting, we will develop a scope of work that serves as the foundation for the next phase: System Design and Engineering.
System Design & Engineering
Once we’ve had our initial consultation, our team begins crafting tailored technology solutions for your home or business that align with your needs and budget. This phase includes a comprehensive design package: scope of work, detailed proposal, rough-in plans, and other essential schematics. We collaborate closely with your builder and other trades to ensure seamless integration, providing the information they need to support the project’s success.
Project Management
Integrating advanced technology into a home or business requires precision and coordination. Our project management team ensures every piece of the puzzle fits perfectly by managing multiple subsystems and merging them into an intuitive and user-friendly cohesive system. From scheduling installation phases to working with your construction team and adapting to job site changes, our project managers keep everything on track, delivering on time and within budget.
Installation
The installation phase is where everything comes together. Our skilled technicians bring expertise, precision, and attention to detail to every project. They’re adept at working with a variety of products and brands, ensuring your system functions flawlessly and reliably. Our team ensures your system is installed to the highest standards through continuous training and staying current with industry standards.
Programming
Programming is where technology becomes truly personalized. It’s not just about getting devices to communicate; it’s about designing an intuitive interface that makes controlling your system effortless. Our programmers collaborate with our design and sales teams to create solutions that meet your specific needs, ensuring your system is user-friendly for everyday and occasional visitors.
Service & Support
At Atlantic AV, our commitment to you doesn’t end with installation. Technology evolves, and your system may require updates, maintenance, or optimization over time. As your technology partner, we’re here to provide ongoing support, expert advice, and access to the latest innovations. From routine maintenance to upgrades, we’re dedicated to ensuring your system continues to enhance your lifestyle with reliability and ease.
