Everyone wants to outfit their home or office with the best AV installations. For instance, let’s assume you’re an avid gamer. You’ll naturally want to experience your favourite games in 4K UHD resolution on a 150-inch screen. However, you have to think about things practically.

While technology has become cheaper, the reality is that a 150-inch television screen still costs an arm and a leg, meaning most people cannot afford them. You could get a personal loan to finance these purchases, but pause momentarily and think about your decision. Is it wise to get a loan to fund such opulent purchases when you cannot afford them? The answer’s always going to be no.

It’s not uncommon for homeowners to go over their set budget when selecting audiovisual installations. After all, you can easily get carried away. The allure of the laser Epson projector might force you to ditch the reasonable, low-cost 4K UHD projector you selected. However, such actions will only result in disastrous consequences.

As a professional audiovisual installation company, we always recommend clients do their due diligence when selecting audiovisual installations for their homes. Doing so helps them develop a realistic budget after assessing the prices of various technologies and solutions. Moreover, it also helps them prioritise the solutions they want more than others.

Developing a realistic budget is easier said than done. However, we’ll guide you through it in this blog post.   

How to Set a Realistic Budget for Your AV Installations

Here’s how to set a realistic budget for your AV installations:

Don’t Compromise Quality for Price

Many homeowners often compromise quality for the price. As a result, they settle for cheaper brands that don’t provide the same quality as the more renowned brands. In addition, cheaper brands generally break down quicker than established ones. So, you’ll save money in the short run, but it’ll cost you significantly more to replace these broken systems in the long run. Don’t compromise quality for the price. Instead, try to find the best audiovisual solutions within your price range.

Ensure You Have Separate Budgets for Your Systems

It’s a good idea to break down your budget into subcategories for different systems. Let’s assume you’re building a home theatre. You’ll need a projector, projector lift, and in-ceiling speakers. Consider dividing your budget for each option. Therefore, if you have a budget of 3000 pounds, you’ll want to split it three ways to ensure you can adequately address each need. However, in-ceiling speakers generally don’t cost as much as quality projectors and projector lifts. So, make sure to divide money proportionately.  

Hire a Qualified AV Installer

You’re likely to shell out thousands of Pounds on expensive AV equipment. It doesn’t make sense to save a few hundred Pounds by skimping on professional audiovisual installation services. You might have experience installing TVs and speakers. However, creating a home theatre is more challenging and requires an expert’s assistance.
