Your life, made easier.
Amp AV handles home automation in Chandler and across the East Valley, about 20 minutes from our Mesa shop. Chandler grew fastest through the 1990s and 2000s, so most of the homes we work in are master-planned community builds from that era, often two story, frame construction, and already carrying some structured wiring behind the drywall.

What Chandler Homes Already Have Built In
A home automation project in Chandler usually starts with a walk to the utility closet, not the showroom. Because Chandler’s housing stock went up largely within one building era spanning the 1990s and 2000s, the properties we work on in areas like Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch are usually two-story wood-frame construction, already wired with cable behind the drywall leading to a single central closet. Before we talk about equipment, we check that closet. Finding existing Cat5e or coax runs that still work changes the scope of a project, since it means pulling less new cable through finished walls. The other pattern in Chandler’s newer construction is the open floor plan: a great room with a high ceiling and a wall of glass looking out at the pool or the golf course, and that room is acoustically hard. Glass surfaces and hard flooring reflect sound rather than soak it up, which means dialing in speaker placement and room correction takes noticeably longer than it would in a smaller, carpeted room typical of an older neighborhood. Add in the HOA rules that come standard in most of Chandler’s planned communities, which govern what can be visible on the exterior of the house, and every camera or outdoor speaker location gets planned around what the HOA allows rather than fought after the fact.
Choosing Between Control4 and Savant
Amp AV designs and installs Control4 and Savant systems for homes across Chandler, and the first conversation is not about picking a brand. It is about what you are actually trying to solve: universal control across multiple rooms is usually the starting point, and lighting, climate, shades and security get added once that foundation is in. Control4 integrates with Josh AI, a voice control system built around not selling user data, which matters to some households more than others. Where Savant pulls ahead is scene handling: a single scene there can control lights, fans, shades, climate, TV and music at once, and stays simple to adjust later, while Control4 typically builds its scenes around lighting as the starting point. For a Chandler great room with a lot of glass and multiple connected spaces, that scene behavior is worth weighing directly against the room. We walk through your home, or meet at our showroom, before recommending either platform.

Chandler Questions
Not usually, especially in homes built from the 1990s through the 2000s in planned communities like Ocotillo or Fulton Ranch. In many cases the original construction already left Cat5e or coax cable running to one central closet. We check that wiring first, and when it is still usable, the project becomes mostly about equipment and configuration rather than pulling new cable through your walls.
It shapes where things go, not whether they get installed. Camera placement, visible speakers, and any exterior equipment get planned around what your HOA allows for your community rather than added after the fact and challenged later. We plan the outdoor portion of a project around those constraints from the first walkthrough, so nothing gets installed and then has to come back down.
Often, yes. Homes from that era of Chandler's growth were frequently wired with Cat5e or coax runs to a central closet, even if no one has used them in years. Before we quote anything, we check whether that existing rough-in can be reused. When it can, it changes the scope and cost of the project, since we are not fishing new cable through finished walls for every connection.
It will influence speaker placement more than it would in a smaller, softer room. Newer master-planned communities in Chandler lean toward open-concept great rooms, tall ceilings, and generous expanses of window glass, and that combination reflects sound around a room instead of absorbing it. We account for that with where speakers are placed and with room correction, so the system sounds balanced instead of harsh or boomy in that space.
It can. Frame construction generally gives us more accessible pathways through walls and between floors for future wiring than block construction does, and many of these homes already carry some structured wiring from when they were built. When you are ready to add shades, lighting, or another sub-system, we look at that existing framing and rough-in first to plan the most direct path in.
