Smart Technology for Homes and Businesses in Virginia Beach

Yes. We design and install technology systems for residential homes as well as commercial spaces such as offices, churches, childcare centers, and multi-site properties.

Our services include audio-video systems, home and business automation, security systems, access control, low-voltage lighting, structured wiring, LED video walls, and specialized environments like RTCCs.

Every system is custom-designed based on the space, usage, and goals of the project. We don’t use one-size-fits-all solutions.

Yes. We offer post-installation support and ongoing service options to ensure systems continue to perform as expected.

Yes, we install a variety of smart home devices including thermostats, security systems, and lighting solutions that can be controlled via smartphone apps or voice commands.

Yes. FM Tech offers financing options to help make technology upgrades more accessible for qualified residential clients. Financing availability and terms vary, and our team is happy to review options during your consultation.

Absolutely. We’ve installed surround sound and projector systems in older homes along Shore Drive and the Oceanfront, where we often deal with tight crawlspaces and older electrical. We know how to work around these quirks without disrupting your charm or structure.

Yes, we regularly work with builders and GC teams in areas like Great Bridge and Hickory. Chesapeake’s newer developments often come pre-framed for low-voltage conduits, which lets us run Cat6 drops and camera cabling more efficiently.

If you're in a designated historic area like Ghent or Freemason, Norfolk requires approval from the Architectural Review Board for visible changes. We’ve guided several homeowners through that process and know how to mount cameras discreetly to preserve aesthetics.

We're just 15 minutes from Greenbrier—our shop is off Ward Ave in Virginia Beach. We service that area regularly, especially for retail businesses wanting AV upgrades or alarm systems.

Yes. We always recommend surge protection and UPS backups, especially in older neighborhoods like Churchland where the grid can flicker. It’s essential for protecting your AV rack and network gear.

For most single-story Suffolk ranches, we can complete a full smart lighting and shade system in 1–2 days. These homes tend to have accessible attics, which makes retrofit wiring easier and faster.

Absolutely—we’ve outfitted multiple office suites around Town Center with badge readers, keypad entry, and networked lock systems. We’re familiar with local fire marshal inspections and building security policies.

Yes, FM Tech is fully licensed and insured for commercial low-voltage work across Newport News. We’ve wired for multiple defense contractors near Oyster Point, so we understand both compliance and high-security requirements.

We often recommend humidity-resistant enclosures and equipment with sealed drivers, especially for crawlspace AV or garages. Williamsburg's muggy summers can wreak havoc on unprotected gear.

Definitely—especially for homes near Mercury Blvd or Buckroe Beach, where sun exposure heats rooms quickly. We install motorized shades from Clara and Lutron that can be set to auto-close at peak sunlight, keeping things cool and energy efficient.
