SANTA ROSA BEACH, Fla. -- GHT Group, a leader in custom home technology, lighting, shading, and audio-video solutions based in Metro Atlanta, is excited to announce that it is expanding its custom solutions and services into Northwest Florida.

In January, GHT Group acquired the Santa Rosa Beach, Florida operations of Audio Video Excellence, an established integrator with a loyal customer base, excellent reputation for quality work, and the same ethic for elevated customer service and support for which GHT Group is known.

While GHT Group has operated primarily in the Metro Atlanta area since 1989, it has done projects for customers far and wide when asked, in locations including Florida, Montana, Wyoming, North and South Carolina and beyond. With many customers owning second homes in the beautiful beach areas of Northwest Florida’s Emerald Coast, from Destin to Panama City Beach and along the famous “30A,” the company is pleased to have a local presence to better serve customers there.

MARIETTA, Ga. – Georgia Home Theater, a leader in custom technology solutions throughout the Metro Atlanta area and beyond, is proud to announce it has rebranded into GHT Group.

The new branding highlights the fact that GHT Group is regarded for far more than just its home theater design and installation capabilities; in fact, GHT is Metro Atlanta’s premier source for all things technology, both in residential and commercial environments.

Outdoor lighting is an excellent solution to add safety, entertainment value, and curbside appeal to your home in Sandy Springs, GA. And if you’re interested in dressing up your home’s exteriors and landscape, you’ve probably seen several options for DIY lighting systems in stores.

It’s worth pointing out that off-the-shelf systems have various flaws and limitations compared to professional-grade solutions sold by an outdoor lighting company. Professional-grade products from a brand like Coastal Source are designed and built to last longer and perform better than mass-produced systems in stores. While purchasing a professional solution and installation is more costly upfront, it’s a better investment in the long term. Keep reading to learn why.  

Lighting control is one of the most popular smart home accouterments, and for very good reasons. But those reasons will vary greatly depending upon people’s needs and motivations. For some, it’s the convenience of having more than one way to control lights, like from a smartphone or through a voice assistant. For others, a schedule or sensor that turns off lights brings efficiency and energy savings.

Perhaps the best reason for going with a whole-home lighting control system – and not just one room or a few lights – is all of the above. Each reason is justification enough for lighting control for a Milton, GA home, but it becomes so easy to rationalize when putting them all together. See what we mean below!
