Hi, I’m Kevin Barnes, founder of Lifestyle Electronics in beautiful Park City, Utah. Back in 1998, I left the electronics manufacturing side of the industry to fulfill my goal of owning my own business and doing what I love.
Lifestyle Electronics’ paramount objective is to design, sell, install, and service all electronic systems in today’s modern homes. These include intuitive music, lighting, home theater, security, integrated controls, and many more. From the beginning, I wanted my company to provide an exceptional product to a discerning clientele and offer reliable, easy-to-use home electronic solutions.
Our continued success for more than 20 years is a testament that the strategy we implemented from the start is still a winner. It is very rewarding to have clients return again and again to have my company upgrade their current dwelling or implement cutting-edge systems in their new Park City projects.
Our process is all about listening to our clients and providing them with the results they want, within a budget they are comfortable with. This has led to award-winning systems, including Electronic House Magazine’s Home of the Year.
Our key to success is in the details. What is important to you? What isn’t important to you? Are there new proven technologies that can help you achieve what you envision for your home? What technology should you avoid? Perhaps most importantly, we ensure all these systems work in harmony with each other by providing an easy-to-use interface that anyone can use. You can even use today’s voice-controlled artificial intelligence.
We can do as much or as little as you want us to do. We start the design process by inviting you to work with one of our professional electronic systems designers. They will take all the features you want in your home and custom-create a solution that will give you all those features in the most efficient and easy-to-use way. Then, we will provide a free, detailed estimate that will show you all the features of your system from A to Z. We also include a schedule to inform you about your installation timetable.
So why use Lifestyle Electronics? In addition to having more than 20 years of experience in the Park City market, Lifestyle Electronics is the only locally headquartered custom electronics company. All our products are installed and maintained by background-checked, factory-certified technicians. If something in your home needs an update or service, we have a dedicated local service department that can be at your residence in minutes. While the other guys are still driving up from Salt Lake, you’ll be back on the slopes or on the golf course—while other homeowners are still waiting for their technician to show up.

If you prefer, feel free to give us a call with any further questions you may have.
