AV & Automation Technology Built on Trust. Service That Feels Like Family.

At AV Innovations, we do things differently. High-end technology should simplify your life rather than overcomplicate your day.

Our team arrives with a focus on respecting your space and on clearly communicating about your system. We take care of the details, handling everything from planning to ongoing service and support. High-end technology is meant to simplify your routine, so we make certain your system feels natural and easy to use from day one.

Who We Are

We’re AV Innovations

AV Innovations is a technology integration company built around a simple philosophy: great technology should feel natural to use, perform reliably, and fit seamlessly into everyday life.

We work closely with homeowners, builders, designers, architects, and businesses to create spaces where technology feels intentional rather than complicated. Every project is approached with careful planning, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering an experience that feels polished from day one.

What defines AV Innovations is not simply the technology itself, but the experience surrounding it. Clear communication, thoughtful design, clean installations, and long-term relationships remain at the center of everything we do.

Our goal is simple: create spaces where technology feels intuitive, dependable, and built around the people using it every day.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to be the best part of your project, not the most stressful. We plan carefully, coordinate every move with your builders and trade partners, and handle the small details so you don’t have to.

We believe in being the bridge between complex technology and a workspace or living space that feels like a sanctuary. When we’re finished, your system will feel organized, easy to use, and ready to serve your family.

Our Vision

We see technology as a tool that should support, but never dictate, your lifestyle. We create spaces where the tech fades into the background, leaving you with nothing but comfort and a bit of luxury.

As homes and businesses in Pittsburgh evolve, we stay committed to delivering systems that are as dependable as they are flexible. We never stop learning, because staying ahead of the curve is how we ensure your new or upgraded technology system stays relevant for years to come.

Our Values

We Treat You Like Family: We don't believe in project quotas or viewing your project as an item on a checklist. We build relationships, striving to make every client feel like a personal friend by the time the project is live.

Open Lines of Communication: No one likes being left in the dark. Whether it’s a quick update for a builder or a deep-dive with a homeowner, we keep the lines open. You’ll never have to wonder where your project stands.

Attention to Detail: We strive for the out-of-the-ordinary. If you want a system that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible, we have the passion to build it. We strive for perfection in the hidden places, behind the racks and inside the walls, because that’s where reliability is built.

We’re Never Done: We don't vanish once the system is installed. Technology evolves, and we stay right here to support, upgrade, and maintain your new technology systems so your home or business remains an essential component of your life.

Leading the Way in Technology Integration

Founder & CEO, AV Innovations

Meet Alan Hartwick

Technology has always been a passion of mine, which ultimately led me to build AV Innovations from the ground up. Since entering the industry in 2011, I’ve had the opportunity to work with homeowners, builders, designers, and businesses to create spaces where technology feels intuitive, reliable, and easy to live with.

What drives me most is taking an idea that starts as a conversation and turning it into something real. From simple upgrades to fully integrated homes and commercial spaces, seeing everything come together and creating something people use every day is still one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

Over the years, I’ve learned that great technology is about much more than the equipment itself. Behind every project, there is planning, coordination, and attention to detail, but the end result should always feel simple for the people using it.

Building AV Innovations has given me the opportunity to create something I’m incredibly proud of. More than anything, I take pride in building relationships, creating memorable experiences, and designing spaces that become part of everyday life.
