Our Service Team Helps Existing Clients Prepare for Stressless Seasonal Entertaining

You've been hosting your siblings, their kids, your parents and the in-laws for almost a decade and now it is just expected of you. They probably don't know how much planning it takes to accommodate your niece’s allergy, your son's limited palette, and your dad's traditions. Let alone getting the house cleaned, decorated and shopping all while still running your day-to-day business. You literally transform a chilly month into a holiday for your whole tribe. That's a lot of work and can be a lot of stress.

The best holiday gatherings happen when technology works invisibly in the background—lights that set the perfect mood, audio that flows from room to room, and media systems that don’t glitch when family gathers for movie night. Right now might seem early to think about holiday entertaining, but experienced hosts know that preparation is everything. Barrett's Technology Solutions’ dedicated service team understands this well. For existing clients throughout Chicagoland, we offer the personalized attention and technical expertise that turns potential party problems into stressless celebrations. Our client-centric approach means working with technicians who already know your systems, your preferences, and exactly what it takes to keep your home entertainment running at its best.

Sophisticated Design with Exceptional Tech 

The best lighting controls shouldn't just avoid disrupting your design—they should enhance it. Traditional light switches and basic dimmers force a compromise between form and function, but Lutron's keypad solutions prove this trade-off is unnecessary. With programmable keypads, Barrett’s Technology Solutions can help you actually gain superior functionality. Our system integration team can program one-touch scene control, automated scheduling, and integration with shades and climate systems. When these advanced capabilities are housed in hand-finished brass, precision-cut glass, or sculptural metal forms, your lighting controls become architectural jewelry that happens to deliver the most sophisticated illumination control available. With a plethora of styles and capabilities available, we can help you find the right  lighting control solution for your home. 

Technology with an Artistic Twist

The most sophisticated homes share a common trait: their technology feels intentional, not intrusive. While many homeowners think they need to choose between exceptional audio-visual performance and refined aesthetics, one of our suppliers, Leon, has spent twenty-five years proving this compromise unnecessary. Through custom American craftsmanship and innovative technology concealment solutions, they transform functional AV equipment into design elements that complement your interior vision. From handcrafted hardwood frames that make any TV look like built-in cabinetry to moving artwork that conceals displays entirely, these solutions demonstrate that the best technology is often the technology you don't see.

You Don't Have to Choose Between Sound Quality and Elegant Design

The age-old audio dilemma has plagued homeowners and designers for decades: exceptional sound quality or clean, uncluttered aesthetics? Traditional in-ceiling speakers could occupy more ceiling space than you desired with their eight to ten inch openings and grilles. But what if that compromise was no longer necessary? One of our trusted suppliers, James Loudspeaker, has a  Small Aperture solution to achieve full-range, high-performance sound through openings as small as three inches—openings so discreet they blend seamlessly with today's trend toward "quiet ceilings" featuring smaller downlights and minimal visual disruption. Why settle for less when you can have your sound and barely see it too?
