Fixed Cable TV Problem: This Guy's a Wizard!

I think this company should be renamed "Techsystem Wizard" or "Adrian the Wizard".

This is the second time I've used this company's services. On both occasions, Adrian performed the impossible.

This time I called Adrian in to deal with a long-standing problem with my cable TV. I had been experiencing intermittent disruptions to my cable-on-demand channels ever since I moved into my condo two years ago.

The cable company had sent in no less than 15 to 20 technicians on many, many occasions and told me a zillion stories about the cause of the problem. I must have called the cable company 100 times. Still, the problem didn't get fixed.

Finally, a week ago, two cable company technicians visited my place again. This time they diagnosed the problem as the cable being damaged inside my unit. They said it was likely damaged behind the baseboard somewhere by the contractor who renovated my unit.

Previously, the cable company technicians had said the damage was likely outside my unit or a programming problem in the overall cable company system, among other stories.

The cable company technicians installed a new cable that ran across my livingroom floor to the opposite wall. They said that was all they could do ... or I could consider reconfiguring my livingroom to put my TV on the opposite wall ... or I could run about 100+ feet of cable all the way around the livingroom/diningroom and across the kitchen/diningroom floor to my TV. (My condo is large ... almost 1,500 square feet.) I was so upset.

I contacted Adrian who scheduled me for an appointment. Within 20 minutes of arriving at my place he had a theory about where the cable was damaged and he asked if he could remove one of the baseboards. I told him to go ahead.

As it turned out, Adrian had deduced the exact spot in my entire livingroom/diningroom where the problem existed. And, indeed, the contractor had put a nail into the baseboard that had penetrated the cable wire hidden behind.

Adrian fixed the cable and my TV works great now.

I am so grateful to Adrian. As I've said, he is a wizard. Don't hesitate to hire this guy. He is incredibly talented and honest and his price is extremely reasonable. I am going to hire him again to add some phone jacks as soon as I figure out where I want to put them.

Thank you, Adrian, for another great job!

CAT6 Home Wiring

I've been looking for quite some time to wire my computers and media systems placed on 3 different levels in my 30-year old house. The main challenge was to avoid having any holes or openings cut in the walls that needed repairs afterwards. Given the house configuration, I honestly thought I'll stay on wireless forever.
Lucky me, I found Techsystem Telecommunications on HomeStars, and arranged for a visit. Adrian exceeded my best expectations:
- prompt response to my online request
- provided expert advice on how and where to run the cables in the most efficient way
- knowledgeable, organized, meticulous,
- everything was done in a day, professionally, perfectly working on the first try
- used the best tools for the job, clean and tidy work
I recommend his expertise in home automation and entertainment systems to anyone. I am very satisfied with his work and the end result. Finally, someone to trust!

Amazing Work by a Perfectionist!!! OLED TV & Soundbar Fireplace Mount/Run HDMI

I wanted to mount the LG 65inch OLED TV and my new Samsung Atmos sound bar above my fireplace. But didn't have the outlets near by. After calling a few other top rated contractors from Homestars, I decided to go with TechSystems because Adrian always made sure to respond immediately if I called or texted him.
When he came by at the time we arrangned. I told him my vision of how I want the room to look , and Adrian took some time asking and explaining how he'd tackle the job in order to satisfy my requirements. He provided the cost and exact time it'll take him (amazingly he was spot on the time it took him, can't believe he had the energy to work 13 hours straight to get the job done).
He had to run the HDMI cables and CAT6, and power cables from one end of my wall to my fireplace at the other side. Also had to run the cable in my wall to where I'd have my stand for my Rogers box, and Roku placed, along with the Wall mounting of soundbar and TV.
He ensured he won't have to make cuts in along my drywall to fish the wires, instead he went through the moulding instead (way cleaner). He ensured there is no mess, he made sure when cutting through woods and drilling he always had a dust pan underneath. Didn't have to worry about fixing anything after the job was done which provided me a peace of mind.
I thought I was a perfectionist, but Adrian takes perfection to another level, even after working for 13 hours straight he was still there rechecking all his work and checking with me if tv is aligned and all the wires are connected to where I want it placed. And waiting patiently for me to check my Roku, rogers, soundbar settings.
Best part was nothing for me to clean up, I was able to sit back and enjoy my new TV and Atmos Sound. I would highly recommend Adrian.

cat6 and coax cable Run

Adrian is top shelf! If you are looking for someone to run wires...you will not find anyone better. This is the second time that he's been here for a job and this time he managed to complete a long run (160') without one hole anywhere! He is meticulous and really takes his time to think before tackling the job. Reliable, smart, clean, and knowledgeable - you will not be disappointed. Mark

Security Camera Installation and More

Adrian has done a few projects for me over the past year. Of all professionals I've hired to do any work, he is the best. He strives for perfection and doesn't compromise on that.

The largest project he did for me was to install a number of security cameras around my house as well NVR system. He completed the job exactly as described to me. He did it quickly and overcame numerous challenges in order to ensure everything was clean and hidden. He made recommendations around placement to ensure full security coverage and came back to tweak certain cameras that weren't angled perfectly during the dark hours.

I can't say enough good things about Adrian and have recommended him at every opportunity.

Thanks

Home Surveillance System

Adrian was very courteous, professional, and did a thorough and careful job. He treated my home with respect throughout the install days and answered all of my questions. The cameras were installed cleanly and the wiring hidden well out of sight.

WOW! What a meticulous home network installation!!

Holy moly, Adrian of TechSystem is one hardworking and meticulous guy! If you need someone to do some home networking for you and you are reading this review then consider yourself lucky -- you have stumbled upon the best person you could ever find! Adrian did so much work at my house:

- Ran 20 CAT6 lines to 7 different locations
- Relocated my Bell modem
- Relocated my Wireless Router
- Hid the wires for my TV in the wall
- Other work I can't even remember!

The price included his labour and all materials, including a really cool structured media cabinet -- I simply provided my own network switch that I wanted to use. The price that he charges beats any other quote I received by a significant margin and the HomeStars reviews that testify to his awesomeness are all true. Put it this way -- if Mike Holmes ever needed a networking guy, Adrian is the kind of person that he'd want :-)

Even when pressed for time, Adrian is sure to do everything the right way, as if he were working on his own home. All of the cabling is extremely tidy and perfectly labeled. He doesn't even use a standard crimping tool that can crimp all 7 wires at once -- he prefers to separately crimp each individual wire (i.e. 7 crimps per terminal end!) to ensure an optimal connection. I was amazed that he was able to run 1200 ft of cable all throughout my complicated home layout (i.e. no attic above a couple of rooms, finished basement, etc.) without having to make a single hole in my living space. I added a couple of requests to the original order and he completed them without a single complaint.

Thanks so much for all of the hard work that you put into my house! I will send all of my friends your way :-)

CAT6 wiring job

I needed some CAT6 wire run from the living room at the front of a bungalow to the basement at the back of the house. Adrian did a great job in a house that was not very conducive to running that length of wire. He had all the right tools and did a neat and tidy job. I couldn't be happier. There's going to be more work coming his way.
