Herndon is the tech corridor. Family suburbs with newer single families, townhomes near the Silver Line, and a strong work-from-home install demand.
Herndon is one of NoVA's most growth-oriented install markets. Most of our work here is family smart home for tech-employed homeowners — Lutron RA2 Select lighting, Sonos audio, Ubiquiti UniFi networking (the tech crowd here often asks for it by name), and dedicated home office buildouts.
Herndon home offices need separate guest Wi-Fi networks, dedicated wired drops for work-from-home setups, and UPS battery backup for the work-critical network gear. Most family installs we do here include a small UniFi rack in the basement or utility closet.
The mix shifts by city — what's most-requested here reflects Herndon's housing stock and demographics.
SWAT A/V is based at 14124 Stonecutter Dr in North Potomac. Most Herndon, VA consultations happen the same day or next morning. Texts to Rick are typically answered in minutes.
Rick is still in the field on most jobs. The same crew that finishes the work is the crew that started it. Twenty-two years, 10,000+ DMV installs, the same approach.
