Rooted in Huntington Beach.
Passionate About Technology.
We started Surf City Audio Video with one belief: that great technology should feel effortless. Not intimidating. Not complicated. Just seamlessly integrated into the way you live.
FROM THE COAST, FOR YOUR HOME
Our Story
Surf City Audio Video was established in 2012 by John Slater who has been in the industry since 1999. We are proud to keep a small, highly trained crew that genuinely cares about what we do while providing superior service with attention to detail. When shopping for your audio, video, surveillance, home automation, and networking needs, you are shopping for more than a system. At Surf City Audio Video we believe equipment comes secondary to exceptional service. Surf City Audio Video is here for the long run, and we look forward to the opportunity to provide exceptional sales, service, and support for many years to come.
SIMPLE. HONEST. ELEVATED.
Our Philosophy
Technology should make your life easier, not harder. We take the time to understand your home and your habits before we ever suggest a product. Good work starts with listening, and the goal is always a system that works the way you expect it to, from a team you can trust long after installation day.
How We Work
