We Are Inspire Audio Visual
Trusted smart home specialists for over 15 years.
InspireAudio Visual
Experience you can trust. Technology you'll love.
We’re a team of six — designers, engineers and project managers — based at Thorp Arch Estate near Wetherby. We design and install home cinemas, lighting and smart home systems for homes across Yorkshire, Cheshire and London.
We’ve been doing this for over 15 years. In that time we’ve held Lutron Gold Dealer status, been certified Control4 dealers, qualified Crestron programmers and accredited KNX system designers. Our work has been featured in Home Cinema Choice and recognised with multiple industry awards.
What we’re not is a large company with a sales team and a call centre. The people you meet at the start are the people who design, install and support your system. That’s deliberate — it’s how we keep the quality consistent and the relationship direct.
What we do?
Three disciplines,
one team.
Every project is specified, engineered, installed and supported by the same people — so the standard never changes between the drawing and the finished room.
Smart Home Systems
— Whole-home control on Control4, Crestron or KNX, bringing lighting, heating, audio, security and entertainment under one reliable interface.

Ourapproach
Built around the way you live
We design and install whole-home systems on Control4, Crestron and KNX that bring every part of your home under one reliable interface — without an app for every system or a remote for every room. The brief is always the same: a home that feels simpler, not more complicated.
From lighting and heating to audio, security and entertainment, everything responds to one set of scenes, built around your routines. The technology does its job quietly.
