HD Installers : Installation Articles: Say no to the big box stores tv installation service
Everything you need to know about home theater, LCD TV, and plasma television installation.
People ask HD Installers all the time why they should purchase from HD Installers when they can get installation from
the big box stores. It's a good question and we love it when people call and ask because if they are intelligent they will
see the benefits of using a pure play installation company over a big box store. The simplest way to communicate the
difference is to go step by step over what your big screen installation experience with them and what you will big screen
installation experience be with us. To protect us from frivolous law suites we will call one company BB and the other we
will call CC. They are the biggest electronics chains in the US. I will let you figure out what big box stores I'm referring
to.
1.) Pre-sales television installation education and information:
A.) Web site: The HD Installers Installation Experience: We provide approximately 100 pages of content on the sole
topic of professional certified plasma TV installation, LCD TV installation, home theater installation and we just added
information on OLED TV and SED TV.
The Big Box store web experience:
BB: Has two pages that doesn't provide any education and basically only offers pricing.
CC: For home theater, LCD and plasma installation they have 4 pages linked from their home page to their installation
department site.
2.) The sales process:
A.) HD Installers, Installation Consultants ask you questions about what your wanting and based on what your
describing you get the perfect installation experience. If you have a need that is outside our standard installation services
we will send over a Certified LCD TV Installation, plasma TV Installation and home theater installation tech. Any fees
charged for this service are credited back in full if you use any of our TV installation services. None of our Installation
Consultants are paid on commission so they aren't going to try to push you into a installation service you don't need.
Our Installation Consultants go through a minimum 1 month training process so they know what service is right for you.
Our quotes we give over the phone are what you pay.
The Big Box store installation sales process
BB: A uneducated sales person is going to try to undersell you the service that you need. They will quote you a price
typically at about 50% of the price of what you will end up paying because they never order the full service that you
need. Sometimes the sales person will try to push you into an installation package that they paid more commission on
and over sell you what you need. The sales person has gone through 1 hour of training on the installation services. If you
do have someone come out and give a site assessment they charge $100 and will give 50% back on purchases larger
than $499
CC: Try finding someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to installation is harder than finding a
needle in a haystack. In my opinion they're the kings of under-quoting. You end up paying about 75% more than what
you planned when all is said and done. They charge $100 for a site assessment and if you buy a large installation
package they only give you back 50% of that fee.

Why pay more for less service?
4.) The installation experience:
HD Installers only employees and uses certified home theater installation, plasma TV and LCD TV Installers that have a
minimum of 3 years experience. We have performed more home theater and LCD TV installations that BB and CC
combined. We provide a 10 Star Guarantee that nobody else can offer giving you a superior level of service.
BB installation experience: They out source the installations in most instances to us and our installers. They provide a 5
point pledge that includes in the great pledge of "- installation is not refundable." With a pledge like that I think I would
stay away. They don't do any background checks on their installers. Why pay almost 3 times the price when you can
get a 100% satisfaction guarantee from HD Installers for better service?
CC installation experience: They are trying a new service and like all new services this complex in field service
management they are having some difficulties from my perspective. They do not provide any sort of Guarantee even
though their site says they do. If you try to find out what the guarantee you will find out that its nothing. They list nothing
on their guarantee . If the use their installers you will always about 25% higher cost than you would pay if you went
directly with HD Installers.
5.) After the installation:
HD Installers Experience: See our 10 Star Guarantee. It includes a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all television
installations for plasma, LCD, OLED, SED, Projector, and Home Theater Installations. No other company offers that
level of service.
BB- installation experience: You get their great 5 point pledge..
Here is what it includes:
Perform the work to your satisfaction - wow, ask them to explain satisfaction for you...
Work with your schedule - how else would they get in your house
Teach you to use your system - something like here is the power button, whoohoo!
Respect your home as if it were our own - ok, not bad but what if they are slobs at home?
Remedy any defect in workmanship for up to one year* - what happens if they don't.. oh yeah the star says it all
*Our regular return policy applies - installation is not refundable.
CC - No guarantee, no warranty of service... - you just have to hope that nothing goes wrong.
Now we know what you might be thinking.. 'how objective is this information after all your comparing your own services?'
We ask you not to believe us and don't believe the smarmy sales guy either. What we want you to do is to check out those
other companies web sites yourself. Their legal department had to sign off on whats on those pages so you know their
accurate while their sales guy is just trying to make quota and doesn't care what happens after the sale. If you go into the
store, read the small print before you sign anything. Basically we ask that you do the research yourself you will find
everything we wrote in this article is accurate. Once you confirmed everything we have said is the truth give us call and
schedule your plasma TV, LCD TV or home theater installation with HD Installers. HD Installers is always certified, insured,
prompt and professional.

The article below is great on understanding the difference between HD Installers and the Big Box stores. One Big Box store laying off 3400 employees because "they're getting paid too much." Apparently because they got raises over their years of service for doing a good job and this big box store is letting them go because they did a good job. According to this article I guess all they want is bad underpaid employees that never got raises due to poor performance to install your television or help you decided what is best for your installation needs.
