Home technology has come a long way over the last decade, especially when it comes to Austin’s luxury market. Luxury home technology is architecturally-driven, starting in the planning stages of a project, giving the performance luxury homeowners want, while remaining out of sight.
Home technology is more than just audio-visual equipment or home office tech, it’s remote management during travel, energy management and back-up energy for an outage. It’s full system video surveillance, and the automation of lighting and sound throughout the house, and more.
Meet the founders of HAAS Home Technologies Pierre Cloutier (CEO) and Donny Carlyon (CTO). They founded HAAS ten years ago. Today, they have a team of 35 who design and implement these complex systems. Trusted by award-winning architects, builders, and design firms and backed by 24/7 customer support, they are dedicated to delivering solutions that elevate the homeowner’s daily living experience. There is a reason that that Austin’s best architects, like Ryan Street, choose HAAS. The team at HAAS is meticulous in their precision, quality, and attention to detail.
The foundation of every home is a high-performance network. HAAS designs and installs commercial-grade networks that ensure speed, stability, security, and scalability across every connected system.
CTO Donny Carlyon said, “Our goal is to build a whole home technology plan, but we also get called in for specific projects. We are seeing an emerging demand for golf simulation rooms, video gaming experiential rooms, and home theaters.”
From the elegance of perfectly tuned lighting to the immersion of private screening rooms, each solution is crafted to disappear into the architecture while elevating daily life. From human-centric lighting that supports the body’s natural circadian rhythms to thoughtful upgrades of older or outdated systems, HAAS creates intelligent environments that feel intuitive.
Entertainment systems are tailored to how each space is used — whether immersive listening, cinematic viewing, gaming, or interactive experiences. From distributed sound and video to media rooms, video walls, and golf or game simulators, HAAS designs and installs systems that deliver performance without visual clutter.
Private screening rooms are designed as complete environments, not just technical installations. HAAS oversees the full process — design, build, installation, and equipment selection — to create high-performance spaces tuned for image, sound, and comfort.
Shades and drapery are seamlessly integrated into the architecture of the home, responding to light, privacy, and time of day. Motorized window coverings are designed to work in harmony with lighting and automation systems.
Ultimately, home automation brings all systems together into a single, intuitive platform. With one touch, environments shift — lighting, shading, sound, climate, and more — setting the scene for how a space is meant to be used. Automation integrates lighting, window coverings, entertainment, security, access control, intercom, pool and spa functions, fireplaces, HVAC, and energy management into a cohesive, human-centered system.
HAAS also has an electrical division. From full‑scale residential and commercial installations to advanced energy management and whole‑home surge protection, every wire, panel, and pathway is planned with discipline. Systems are designed to support modern living and long-term performance while remaining clean, organized, and serviceable behind the walls.
Electrical infrastructure is designed with resilience and efficiency in mind. HAAS implements energy management systems, gas generators, battery backup solutions, and solar-ready infrastructure to ensure homes remain reliable, adaptable, and prepared for future energy needs. Power is treated as a system — monitored, protected, and intelligently managed.
HAAS also provides ongoing maintenance to support its systems. Whole-home surge protection is installed to safeguard sensitive equipment and ensure stability across all connected systems, protecting both infrastructure and experience.
