Justin Hardy, founder and CEO of Switch AV & Security, has been providing technology experiences to make life better for homeowners and businesses throughout Birmingham, AL. By helping Birmingham residents fall in love with their home theater and solving local business’ communication problems, Switch strives to help their customers be more productive and independent—so they can enjoy a better overall experience.  

About Justin

Hardy studied at Auburn University earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil and Structural Engineering. He served as a Senior Project Engineer at Alcoa in his early post-grad years. After about 6 years, he founded Birmingham Home Theater where he designed, sold, and installed premier entertainment systems to create the ultimate home and business experiences. About 5 years later, he created Switch Audio Video. 

He describes the employees of Switch AV as “a group of geeky techs delivering the very best in residential and commercial audio/video & security services.” Justin’s vision at Birmingham Home Theater was to create exceptional entertainment services. Therefore, Switch Audio Video was born with the hopes to provide the highest quality products and services. The company’s goal is to live out its three core values with hopes of making life better through its technology services and experiences. For almost 11 years they’ve been preaching: 

• LOVE like there’s no tomorrow.
• WORK like you don’t need the money.
• REST like you’ve earned it. 

The company values align with its high level of commitment. They prove to be an experience-based company with an extremely easy-to-use system (or your money back, guaranteed) that’s exactly what you’re looking for in a personalized technology system.
