A home theater is a luxury addition that sees a steady return on investment. According to the team at Premiere Home Theater, the entertainment space will boost property value, save money on going out, and allow the family to see big screen thrills in the comfort of home.

To ensure the project goes off without a hitch, the Cornelius, NC-based contractors say there are a few factors to keep in mind before getting started. Below, they share the top four considerations to take into account:

Where to Place Electronics

From audio equipment to gaming consoles and flat-screen TVs, chances are, you’ll include at least a few electronics in the home theater. Determine locations for the devices before the project starts. Ideally, the outlets should be installed behind electronics. Wall outlets present potential safety hazards, as people and pets could trip over the audio wires, cables, and additional cords.  

Proper Equipment Storage

Speaking of electronics, they also generate a lot of heat. Although you might be tempted to conceal bulky routers, receivers, and additional items in cabinets, don’t. In an enclosed space, the heat could cause fires or damage equipment. Instead, place electronics throughout the room, giving them space to breathe. Use storage space for non-flammable items. 

Limit the Noise Factor

The last thing you want is to develop a reputation as noisy neighbors. You can prevent complaints by soundproofing the home theater. This will prevent noise from escaping outside, while also improving the sound quality in the room. Mounting panels along the walls will trap the sound and prevent bounce-back. 

Invest in a Universal Remote

Life will be much easier once you invest in a universal remote. You can operate the TV, stereo equipment, and additional devices without searching for a handful of clickers.
