Do you find that technology makes your life more complicated, not less? Fernando Canete of Home Digital Solutions will simplify all your home entertainment and technology systems by combining them into one seamless, hassle-free experience.

Fernando’s work includes consultation, design and installation of a wide variety of technologies: home theaters, music systems, one-touch integrated remotes, low voltage wiring, retrofitting, security cameras, lighting control, networking phone and intercom systems. He offers tech support and can upgrade an existing system. “I design a system intuitively so even guests can work it without a problem.”

Fernando’s pricing is competitive too. “I’m a direct dealer, and I have lower overhead than the big companies.” Yet Home Digital Solutions offers the same security as a big company because Fernando is licensed, bonded and insured.

Fernando continually researches the very latest technology to select systems that best match his clients’ needs and budgets. “A salesman at an electronics store sells you what he wants you to buy. I find what will make you the happiest.”

Audio/video work represents much more than a job to Fernando: “I keep my heart open to people and treat my ‘small’ customers the same as the ‘big’ ones. I feel my work is about giving something of value to people.”

Tip: Most problems with electronics can be solved by simply resetting the system. Unplug it for a few minutes, and then plug the system back in. Try this first before paying for a service call!

I was having real problems with my internet connection and my cable provider. I called Fernando and asked him if he could work on it and fix it. He said the problem was that they had daisy chained the whole thing together and it needed to be redone. I asked him if he could fix it and he said yes, but it would cost probably more than I would want and if I was just persistent with the cable provider I could have it fixed for free. He was right. I really appreciated that Fernando was on the up and up with me. He's an honest guy.

I found Fernando in neighbor2neighbor. He was quick to respond to my call and arrived within days of my request. He intellectually understood what my desires and requirements were for my media room. He also was flexible enough to meld my ideas with his ideas. It all worked! His prices were quite reasonable and he had prompt follow up, taking care of my issues and guiding me to the right people. He created a highly sophisticated room for me, which took two days. He is neat, tidy and orderly. Another thing I really liked is his passion about the latest technology. He stays abreast of new devices that come on the market, and is excited about them!

Fernando installed a home theater and closed circuit cameras at my home and office. My experience was excellent! I had comparison shopped the items on the internet and Fernando's price was below what I saw. He passed on deals to me in return for the installation. For example, the 3D TV manufacturer was giving away 2 pairs of 3D glasses and a Blu Ray player to dealers. Fernando just offered them to me for free since he didn't have to pay for them. You couldn't go to Best Buy and install a system yourself and get as good a deal as having Fernando do it all.

Fernando is always punctual and is trustworthy to the point where I have left him and his helper alone in my house. They laid out plastic and cleaned up after themselves so you wouldn't have known anyone was ever there. He is extremely technical, but can explain it all to you in layman's terms. He stays up on the latest technology by taking classes and going to seminars.

Fernando has come back and tweaked a few things and he always checks the system and does more than I called him for. I have referred him to two of my clients and they have been happy with him, too. Fernando is definitely the guy you want to install your home theater system.

Fernando set up a home audio system for us with two high-definition 3D TV’s, Blu Ray, and a sound system. Next he will do our remote controlled, programmed lighting for us and an intercom on the gate, too. With the lighting system, you can be upstairs in bed and turn off the lights all around the house, or you can be in the living room, turn on a movie and bring down the lights in the kitchen without getting up. We called Fernando after our contractor recommended him for putting in a stereo system that you could hear throughout the house. We realized after talking to Fernando that there were a lot of other possibilities for other kinds of automation such as lighting, TV’s and the like. Fernando was able to get good deals on the TV’s and the stereo equipment for us. Fernando very much cares. He was there to make sure it was all installed correctly. If there was a glitch, he came that day or the next to make it right.

I found Home Digital in neighbor2neighbor. Fernando is very professional and knowledgeable. Fernando fine-tuned our existing systems. He was easy to talk to and gave us good ideas about how to incorporate new elements, to which we intend to continue adding. Fernando is always available. I never feel I cannot contact him. He even called a few weeks after the initial job to see how it was working for us. That is what makes him so special, the personalized attention.
- Susan D., Santa Monica

I found Home Digital through neighbor2neighbor. Fernando is a nice guy and he did a great job. We put in a new home theater system and he installed speakers throughout the inside and outside the house. He was very available to us during the project. I felt we got a good deal on the equipment, too. The system turned out great!
- Ron Hess, Upper Nichols Canyon

I found Home Digital in neighbor2neighbor. Initially they mounted a TV on the wall. We ended up with a complete audio solution, including DVD and ipod with surround sound in the dining room, the kitchen and outside. Fernando and his crew do a great job! I liked that Fernando worked with me directly and gave me several options to accommodate cost, quality, etc. In every aspect, he worked with me to fine-tune the job to my budget. I got two other bids and his prices are competitive—very, very fair. I double-checked his pricing online, too and everything was in line. It is a big deal to me that Fernando is accountable. I have confidence he will keep in touch. He is prompt, efficient and the quality of his service, as well as the quality of his products is, in one word, fantastic! Our relationship did not end with this job. I reached out to him for advice since then on updating my remote. Working with Fernando is an overall great experience, a Grade A job across the board!

Fernando designed and installed a home media system for our media room. It integrates all the TV’s in our home, all speakers inside and out and all audio-visual including Internet. Everything is operated by one hand-held remote-control device. It’s amazing! We found Home Digital in the neighbor2neighbor handbook. We felt Fernando’s bid was fair and competitive. We are in the midst of an ongoing remodel project, so Fernando has been held up while work has gone on around him. Whenever he arrives, he is on time and uses his time efficiently. On all issues, Fernando is very accessible, available and willing to accommodate. Something that makes his company especially unique is that he is also willing to take on much smaller jobs, too!

Fernando installed and designed a media room for me. He gave me lots of options. He gave me a high end and a low end option and he was definitely on with his numbers! He was also really good at conceiving a room that seems way more expensive than it is. For instance, rather than buying a movie screen, he found a special silver paint and built a frame around the painted area. That saved me about $10,000. He gets really excited about his work and he is always researching to keep up with the latest technologies. Just before I was going to buy the projector, he found out about a brand new one that was less expensive and had more lumens. Then there was an unforeseen problem with the projector mount not working with my ceiling. Fernando came up with a radical solution: he turned the storage closet behind the wall into a projection booth so he could mount the projector on the wall. He also worked with the acoustics and knew where the speakers should go. He worked hand in hand with the contractor. It was a long process of calibrating and getting the focus and the acoustics just right, but he takes a lot of pride in his work and works hard.

Fernando installed a TV, hooked up a satellite for the TV and radio and tied it all into one wonderful remote. He simplified my life! I’m becoming a techie! Fernando looked around my home and designed a system that worked best with my space. He is very educated with acoustics and he was good at explaining why the speakers should be arranged in certain ways. His pricing was absolutely fair. He provides a customized service. I really appreciate the amount of work he did at my place and that any time I could call him and he’d call me right back. I wish more businesses were more like him! He is courteous and keeps his appointments. He explains everything very patiently. I got the best system for my money.
- S. Baca, West Hollywood

Fernando installed a big plasma TV for me, but first he designed a cabinet to hide it because when I am not watching it, I don’t want to see it! I also wanted the TV tilted so I could watch it without twisting my neck. Other contractors just told me to deal with it, but Fernando installed a huge bracket to tilt the TV just so. He guided me to what I wanted that was in my price range. He was so helpful. I had asked friends about what would be best for me, but he knew so much more than any of my friends. He installed speakers indoors and in the back of my house of outdoors, a Blu Ray and a stereo system. And there is only one remote for everything! I now have music everywhere, inside and out. Fernando was very patient. He took the time to sit down with me, find out what I needed and then explain it all to me, so in the end it was not stressful at all. He didn’t try to sell me more than I needed. I had looked around so I knew some of the prices. In the end I got something better quality than what I would have gotten at a big electronics store, and at a lower price. After the installation, if I ever have any questions, he gets back to me right away.

Fernando consolidated our entertainment system and helped us choose and purchase some new equipment. Fernando wired several stations, put in speakers and consolidated all my remotes into one solution. I now have a wonderful sound system! I had talked to a few other folks who came up with different proposals, but Fernando’s solution was the most compatible and the least disruptive with my house. He didn’t have to open up my walls. And his pricing was reasonable—the best bid we got—and he stuck to it! Fernando spent the better part of two days doing the installation. The system worked fine when he left, but we found a few minor bugs. He promptly came back and fixed them no problem.
