Movie nights, patio evenings and one button for goodnight.
From lakeside homes to houses up the hill, we design and install systems that are easy to live with. We're based in Mill Creek and have worked on the Eastside since 2009.
Technology that fits your Kirkland home
Kirkland homes get used for everything: family movie nights, game day with friends, dinner on the covered patio and working from home. Here we've built a dedicated theater with rows of recliners, put TVs over fireplaces inside and out on the patio, added a motorized TV mount, and set up one keypad that runs the scenes in a home office.
We're based in Mill Creek and have done this work since 2009 across the Eastside and Snohomish County. One local team designs, installs and stands behind every system, so it all works together and stays easy to use.
What we do in Kirkland
Home theater & TV
A dedicated theater with rows of recliners, or a TV over the fireplace with no wires showing, inside or out on the patio.
Whole-home audio
Music in the kitchen, the deck and the kids' rooms, each at its own volume, from speakers you hear but don't see.
Smart home control
One keypad for the scenes you use most, like Watch TV, Entertain, Relax and Away.
Lighting control
Lights that come up softly in the morning and set the mood for dinner, with fewer switches on the wall.
Motorized shades
Shades that block the afternoon glare on the TV and close for privacy at night, on their own.
Network & Wi-Fi
Strong Wi-Fi in every room, from the basement office to the far bedroom and out to the backyard.
Home security
An alarm you arm from a keypad or your phone, with professional monitoring.
Security cameras
Clear video of the front door, driveway and backyard, day and night, recorded in your home.
Deep Sentinel Live Guard
Live-guarded cameras, where a real person can step in if someone shouldn't be there.
Already have a system that isn't working right? We fix, update and simplify what's already there, including systems someone else installed.

What homeowners say
“Just an all-around positive experience from start to finish. Excellent communication (which is something that has been a struggle working with other companies). Ariez was my main point of contact and he did an amazing job setting up our new 4K short throw projector, organizing all of our surround sound and getting our super fast internet set up throughout the house. Nick, the owner, was great to work with as well. Highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“I recently had High-Tech Living do a home theater installation in my new house, including in-wall speakers, wiring, and a wall-mount for my TV. They were outstanding through all phases of the job! I couldn't be happier with the look and function of the in-wall speakers, and everything was installed very professionally and using good quality components and workmanship. Nick was very helpful with the design process, and gave me a very detailed quote. When it came to the actual install, he showed up exactly when he said would, answered all of my questions, and was very professional. And all for a price that was more reasonable than any other contractor I talked to. I'd definitely recommend Nick and High Tech Living to anyone thinking about a custom home theater install!”

Kirkland questions, answered
Do you work in Kirkland?
Yes. We're based in Mill Creek and work all over Kirkland, from the waterfront to Finn Hill and Totem Lake, as well as nearby Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell and Kenmore. We're available Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and meetings are by appointment.
What happens at the free consultation?
It's one visit. We look at your home, ask how you want to use it, and talk through ideas, with no obligation. If you'd like to go further, design is the next step. That's a paid phase where we write the scope, the equipment list and a proposal for you to review.
Can you build a dedicated home theater?
Yes. We plan the screen, the projector or TV, the speakers, the seating and the lighting together, then hide the wiring and the equipment. If you're finishing a basement or a bonus room, it helps to bring us in before the drywall goes up. If the room needs new power, your electrician adds it, and we'll coordinate with them.
Can you put a TV over our fireplace, inside or out on the patio?
Yes. We mount the TV at a height that works from the seating and run the cables out of sight, so nothing hangs below the screen. On a covered patio we use an outdoor-rated TV and can add weather-rated speakers. If the spot needs a new outlet, your electrician adds it, and we'll coordinate with them.
