EXPERIENCE

Having experience mixing sound or hanging a TV, is not the same as the combined expertise of a team of professionals.

Horizon Solutions has been designing and integrating AV systems for over 40 years with over 850 installs completed.

Our experience is broad, pulling from expertise in different markets and on different types of projects.

Knowledge gained from working with one type of client helps us design unique systems for another clientele. The work we do in churches helps in the work we do in board rooms. And the work we do in theatres informs the work we do with schools.

COLLABORATION 

No one individual has "seen it all," but a group of professionals with unique and shared experiences, creates a collaborative team that can result in some of the best solutions available.

No one at Horizon is the expert in everything. Working together brings the best solution for our clients.

Our design team talks daily about different projects, drawing on not just one individual, but the experience of us all. Together we use various design tools to develop a clear plan for each project.

COMPLIANCE

We're not working in the "Rock 'n Roll" industry of the 70's, 80's and 90's.

Today we have rules and regulations that must be consider and adhere to. The work of an AV Contractor today is closer to that of an electrician or general contractor than that of Doc Brown from Back to the Future.

A professional contractor like Horizon Solutions must be in good standing with WSIB and carry liability insurance.

Horizon Solutions carries $5M General Liability for both our installations, as well as our live event work.

CONTINUOUS TRAINING 

Being a professional does not mean you know everything. And in the professional AV industry things are changing all the time. Changes in technology, applications, general usage, regulations and understanding how discontinued technology effects past and new designs is important.

Horizon Solutions seeks out training opportunities for our staff. Through online and in-person training, from manufacturers and industry leaders, we work to better ourselves to build better systems for our clients.

INDUSTRY PARTNERS

In every industry, the respect and relationships that one professional has built with the rest of the industry, is a telltale sign of the quality of their work and professionalism.

Through strong partnerships with manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, industry experts and service centres, Horizon Solutions is so much larger than our local team.

We have a reputation in the industry for quality work, professionalism, reliability and respect.

SAFETY, ALWAYS

Complying with the safety standards laid out in provincial and federal regulations is law.

Meeting the requirements of standards such as WHMIS, First Aid Training, and Commercial Motor Vehicle rules is not an option.

Horizon Solutions ensures that all PPE and equipment is regularly inspected and in good working order.

LICENCES AND TRAINING

As in any construction or industrial based industry, ensuring that all installation and live event staff are properly trained and licensed to use equipment is a must.

Horizon staff are certified and trained, meeting provincial requirements, for Working at Heights and Elevated Work Platform (lift training).

TRAINING FOR SUCCESS

Once the system is installed, if the users do not know how to use the equipment, then it's not much of a solution.

Training has been a significant part of Horizon Solutions since the beginning. 

Providing clientele with proper training on their systems, is key to the success of the system.

RELIABLE SUPPORT

Equipment fails. Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. And although we take every effort to recommend equipment that will serve our client's needs for as long as possible, not every piece does.

When that happens, having professional, reliable support for your system and your users is important.

Horizon Solutions understands what it means when the "doors open", the "curtain goes up" and "it's Sunday morning!"

We understand the anxiety that can be felt when something fails, and we know how important it is to get things back up and running.

When you need support, we are here. 

DEMO EQUIPMENT

Reading reviews online, watching videos and scanning through the specifications is not the same as experiencing a piece of equipment first-hand.

Horizon Solutions has an extensive inventory of our most sold products in house. We also have access to a significant number of demonstration pieces from many of the manufacturers we work with regularly.

If you would like to see, touch, hear or experience a piece of equipment before you purchase, Horizon Solutions can help you do that.
