Technology ages differently than architecture. Even if your home is just a few years old, certain features can feel outdated—especially anything connected to the internet or controlled by software. That doesn’t mean starting from scratch. In fact, a few smart upgrades can completely refresh the way your home looks, feels, and functions.
One of the first signs that your system needs attention is your TV. If apps stop working or the screen lags when switching between services, it might be time for an update. Smart TVs over 7 years old often struggle to keep up with modern streaming platforms.
Our team at CAV Integrated Home recommends switching your streaming to dedicated devices like Apple TV 4K or Roku 4K. These solutions update regularly, offer better performance, and make your existing setup feel brand new.
If you have a Control4 or Crestron system, you’re already ahead of the curve. These platforms are built to last, but that reliability can mean they get overlooked. After 5 to 10 years, it’s smart to evaluate whether your system is running the latest software.
With Control4’s newest X4 update, for example, you can create custom routines and adjust settings more easily than ever—no programmer required. That means more personalization and smoother day-to-day living.

Lighting has changed dramatically in recent years. As builders shifted to LED, lighting systems became more complex—and more powerful. If your home still uses older incandescent bulbs or early-generation LEDs, you’re missing out on both performance and aesthetics.
At CAV Integrated Home, we design lighting upgrades that transform how a home feels. We can reduce the size of bulky ceiling fixtures, add dimmable settings down to 1 percent, and install sleek, labeled controls that make using your lights a breeze.
Lighting isn’t just functional—it’s emotional. The right lighting can make your home feel calmer, more modern, and more inviting.
Like lighting, a solid WiFi system usually fades into the background. But when it stops working well, it affects everything—streaming, smart devices, even security.
We help homeowners in Hilton Head, Bluffton, and the Lowcountry upgrade their networks with stronger coverage, better security protocols, and improved speed. Whether you’re adding a home office, expanding to the pool area, or just want smoother service, we can help you stay connected.

Media cabinets and AV racks tend to collect dust—literally and figuratively. Cables get tangled, updates get skipped, and the risk of something getting unplugged grows. Our technicians can safely access and organize these systems so they stay clean, stable, and high-performing.
This small service goes a long way in preventing downtime and keeping everything running like it should.
At CAV Integrated Home, we believe in custom everything. That includes your upgrades. Whether it’s replacing a few outdated pieces or reimagining the entire system, we start by learning your goals, your space, and how you live.
