Reference Audio Video & Security 10850 Douglas Avenue, Urbandale, IA 50322

"There isn’t too much to be said that hasn’t already been said In the reviews but I’ll reiterate that Eric, Cody, and the team do an absolutely amazing job at finding and installing a system that works for you and your family. They spent more time than any other “contractors” at our house and on the phone with us ensuring that the work they were planning on doing and accomplished was exactly what we were looking for without overselling us on useless features to make an extra profit. I can’t thank Eric and Cody enough for all their hard work setting up my Control4 and AV system in my house. Don’t think twice about calling them for your AV needs"

"The entire reference team did a fantastic job. Eric helped facilitate a “rush” order for my security system upgrade so it was working prior to leaving for vacation. Highly recommend, have been using reference for years."

"Seven years ago, Reference AVS installed a large screen and sound system in our small church in Grimes. We have had absolutely no problems with the system and have been very satisfied with it. This year the projector needed to be checked out, and also, we were in need of a wireless lapel microphone and receiver. The service that we have received has been outstanding! Eric, Daniel, and Ryan are top professionals, and I cannot say enough good things about each of them and the prompt service they provided. I highly recommend this company and once again thank you Reference AVS!"

"I have been looking for replacements speakers online for weeks and nothing I found was suitable for my needs. I went in and talked to Eric and explained (not very well, I might add) what I was looking for. He told me he’d do some research and within the hour, he’d sent me several options, all which suited my needs and within my allotted price range. It took me a while to get back to him to order, but the second I did he was right on top of things and it was a pleasure to feel like he cared more about meeting my needs on my schedule more than just making a quick sale. This was my first experience with Reference Audio and I am very glad it was a positive one. The speakers look and sound even better than I could imagine and were simple to integrate into my already existing sound system."

"I was referred to Reference AVS by a doctor in Iowa City who just recently had them do extensive work at his home. He raved about the quality of the work they performed. Since I was remodeling my living room and dining room at my home in Des Moines, IA, I contacted Cody Schwaller with Refence RVS in Urbandale. Cody was excellent at being able to look through the mess of the remodeling and envision what the new TV and sound system would look like and its placement. He referred me to Kurrent Electric in Ames, IA for relocating electrical and cable outlets as well as openings for running connections through the wall. When I was ready for the installation Cody sent a technician by the name of Chad to do the work. Chad was a perfectionist! Using levels, tape measures, pieces of tape instead of a pencil he was able to position the TV perfectly. His knowledge of the TV's systems and connections and functions were flawless. Further, he was very patient in teaching me how to operate the TV and surround sound system. I have an extensive art collection so I had selected the Samsung Frame TV as it becomes a piece of art when not being used for TV viewing. This took Chad a little more time to teach me how to operate that part of the TV. He makes a great teacher with a lot of patience in order to teach someone like me who is very technology challenged. Overall, I am completely satisfied with the work performed, the education, and the TV itself. I would highly recommend Reference AVS!"
