Who we are and how we got here....
In May of 1995, the founders, Gary & Julie Dilling opened the doors to Universal Systems in Richland Hills, TX with a newfound vision to bring technology into peoples daily lives with simplicity. That very same month & year, their only daughter, Dorenda would be graduating from high school and joining the US Air Force. Around that time, a young, new technician named Hank was quickly working his way up the ranks to lead technician and beginning his path to becoming a Crestron programmer. 8 years later, Dorenda would begin working for Universal, marry Hank and have a family. Fast-forward to 2005, Hank & Dorenda became proud owners of Universal Systems. Since that time, Universal has continued its path to maintaing our long-standing reputation in the custom electronics industry. Today, we stand true to our roots, continuing to integrate technology into your lifestyle using only the highest-quality products and highly-trained technicians. We thank you for visiting our website and getting to know a little about us. We invite you to call or come by, we would love to meet you and help bring your ideas to life.

"Hank at Universal Systems is a highly-skilled designer and installer of home automation systems. I have known and benefited from Hank's extraordinary talents and positive attitude for the past 15 years. He has automated three of my homes and will be soon automating the four home. His ability to design and implement the most complicated integrated home automation of lighting, audio/video, climate, security and other systems far surpasses his competition..."★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"My experience with Universal Systems started with a person willing to listen to a difficult scheduling issue and working around the issues, resolve, and make their schedule work with mine. Then their technician arrived on time for the work. He quickly diagnosed what was needed for the job and efficiently completed the work as needed. Thank you for the good work and doing what was promised!"★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I have been a customer of Universal Systems for more than 20 years having engaged their services including whole house A/V installations, residential security service, equipment upgrades, and the occasional service call. Throughout this relationship they have always provided a combination of skill, courtesy, professionalism, and on time service. Most recently I had a another AV company who was unable to resolve. Universal Systems service technicians quickly and expertly resolved the issue while at the same time answering all my questions and treating my home with respect. I am very grateful to the techs for resolving a lingering and annoying issue that AT&T was unable to correct. I highly recommend you give Universal Systems an opportunity for your business should you ever have a need for their type of services."
