What Fusion Audio + Video does

Fusion Audio + Video is a privately held custom integration company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, with additional offices in Asheville, North Carolina, and Bluffton, South Carolina. The company designs, installs, and services smart home automation, lighting and shading control, whole-home audio and video, home theater, outdoor living entertainment, and golf simulator systems for residential clients, alongside commercial AV, conference room, digital signage, access control, and surveillance installations across corporate, education, hospitality, retail, fitness, and houses-of-worship verticals. Technical delivery is built on third-party platforms — Control4, Lutron, Sonos, Savant, Alarm.com, Bowers & Wilkins, McIntosh, Full Swing Golf, Séura, SunBriteTV, Samsung Terrace, Sony, and Appspace — rather than on proprietary software or hardware.

The company's revenue model combines three streams: one-time custom design and installation of integrated AV and automation systems priced on a quote basis, hardware resale of third-party AV and automation equipment bundled into those installations, and a growing base of recurring service contracts through tiered support plans (Basic, Essential, Proactive+, and VIP) that include 24/7 remote diagnostics, OvrC monitoring, priority on-site service, and discounted labor. Distribution is exclusively direct and consultative through the three physical showrooms and field sales, with BrandSource financing offered to lower upfront cost barriers. Customer segments span luxury residential homeowners, custom home builders and architects, and commercial accounts across multiple verticals, with named builder and designer partnerships (Fairview Builders, Villa Verona Design) supporting the new-construction specification channel.

Operationally, the company has operated for over 20 years, holds CEDIA certification, and has been ranked on the CE Pro 100 list for ten consecutive years (2015-2025), climbing from #28 in 2024 to #18 in 2025. It has received Consumer Technology Association Custom Home of the Year and Integrator of the Year awards in 2021, multiple CE Pro Home of the Year recognitions through 2025, and recurring editorial coverage in CE Pro, Residential Systems, and regional outlets. No public listing, external institutional investment, or parent company is disclosed in the source data; the company appears to remain founder-owned.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Vivint Smart Home: Public national smart home security and automation provider combining professionally installed systems with monitoring subscriptions. Comparable in delivering integrated smart home/control experiences but operates nationally with a much larger and lower-touch model than Fusion's design-led approach.
• Crutchfield: Long-established national AV/electronics retailer that has expanded into custom installation services and design consultations. Comparable product/brand mix and consumer orientation, though Crutchfield's primary strength is retail rather than custom integration.
• Magnolia Home Theater (Best Buy): Best Buy's in-store AV brand and Geek Squad installation arm. While not a direct custom integrator at Fusion's price point, Magnolia competes for adjacent AV installation jobs and serves as a national footprint that could expand into Fusion's Carolinas territory.
• ADT: National security provider that has expanded into smart home automation and professional installation. Comparable to Fusion on the security/automation overlap, but ADT operates at a much larger national scale with subscription-based monitoring revenue.
• Snap One: Owner of the Control4 platform and a major distributor of smart home, AV, and networking products to professional integrators. Snap One is both a key supplier to Fusion and a competitive threat if it expands more directly into the integration services market.

Direct peers

• Audio Advice: Headquartered in Raleigh NC, Audio Advice is a Carolinas-based residential and commercial AV integrator offering smart home automation, home theater, lighting control, and whole-home audio — the closest regional direct peer to Fusion with overlapping service lines, vendor stack (Control4, Lutron, Sonos), and go-to-market.
• ABT Electronics: Chicago-area consumer electronics retailer with a substantial custom installation division serving residential and commercial clients. Comparable business model to Fusion in combining a physical showroom footprint, premium brand mix, and project-based custom integration revenue.
• HiFi House: Mid-Atlantic regional AV integrator and retailer focused on premium home theater, whole-home audio, and smart home integration. Comparable to Fusion as a high-end regional integrator that sells and installs third-party AV and automation systems.
• World Wide Stereo: Pennsylvania-based AV retailer and custom integrator with design centers, in-home installation, and commercial AV services. Comparable as a regional high-end custom integration company that combines a retail showroom model with project-based AV/automation installation.
