Four Decades of Innovation in Home Technology

The Experience Behind TECHOME

For more than four decades, our founder, Andrew Werdean has built his career around one fundamental idea: technology should enhance the way people live, not complicate it.

That philosophy is at the heart of TECHOME, a luxury home automation and technology integration company serving discerning homeowners across Arizona, Minnesota, and Florida.

From sophisticated home automation and home theater systems to whole-home audio, lighting control, motorized shades, security, climate control, and high-performance networking, TECHOME brings together the technology of a modern home into one seamless experience.

A Career That Began in 1985

Andrew’s journey in the technology industry began in 1985, at a time when custom residential electronics was still an emerging field.

Long before today’s smart homes, connected devices, and app-based control systems, Andrew was working directly with homeowners, builders, designers, and technology manufacturers to create customized audio, video, and electronic systems.

Those early experiences established the foundation for the approach that continues to define TECHOME today:

Understand the home. Understand the client. Design the technology around both.

From Custom Audio & Video to Complete Home Integration

As residential technology evolved, so did Andrew’s expertise.

His career expanded beyond individual audio and video components into system design, structured wiring, control systems, networking, and the integration of multiple technologies into a unified environment.

This evolution mirrors the transformation of the modern home itself.

Today’s luxury residence may include dozens—or hundreds—of interconnected devices and systems. Lighting, shades, HVAC, entertainment, security, surveillance, access control, networking, and automation must work together reliably.

Andrew’s decades of experience provide the perspective necessary to design these systems as a complete solution rather than as a collection of disconnected products.

Experience in Product Development and the Audio Industry

Andrew’s career has also extended beyond installation and integration into the world of audio product development and manufacturing.

His experience with respected audio companies, including MTX Audio, Jamo, Klipsch, RTI and Dynaudio, provided valuable insight into product engineering, performance, acoustics, system design, and the relationship between technology and the listening experience.

That experience continues to influence TECHOME’s approach to high-performance audio and home theater design.

The objective isn’t simply to install equipment.

It is to create an environment where the technology performs at an exceptional level while remaining intuitive and visually appropriate for the home.

Technology, Control & Automation

As control and automation technology developed, Andrew became increasingly involved with advanced control platforms and system integration.

His experience with technologies such as RTI, Control4, Google, Microsoft and Lutron allows TECHOME to approach automation from both the technical and user-experience perspectives.

A successful automation system should make a home easier to operate.

With the right design, a homeowner can control lighting, shades, climate, music, television, home theater, security, gates, doors, and other systems through intuitive interfaces rather than managing a collection of unrelated devices.

The TECHOME Philosophy

TECHOME was built around a simple principle:

Smart technology should feel effortless.

The best technology integration is often the technology you don’t notice.

Lighting should respond naturally. Music should be available throughout the home. Shades should operate when needed. Climate should remain comfortable. Entertainment should be simple to access. Security should provide confidence without becoming intrusive.

Behind that simplicity is thoughtful engineering, careful system design, professional installation, detailed programming, and ongoing service.

That’s the role TECHOME is designed to fulfill.

Looking Toward the Future

Technology will continue to change.

The platforms, devices, displays, processors, networking equipment, and control interfaces used in today’s homes will continue to evolve.

What doesn’t change is the importance of good design.

With more than four decades of experience in residential technology, Andrew Werdean and TECHOME approach every project with a long-term perspective: build a reliable foundation, integrate technology thoughtfully, make the system intuitive to use, and design with the future in mind.
