Who We Are

Element Smart Control Systems was founded in 2015 by longtime audiophile Jack Dennis.

Jack’s years of experience and passion for his work made him the perfect person to serve an unmet need in the Upstate: the need for an audiovisual company whose quality and care for their clients would be something that builders and contractors could be proud of.

Today, our company carries the same level of enthusiasm for our work. We’ve become known for our ability to design state-of-the-art audiovisual and home automation setups to meet our clients’ unique needs while maintaining relationships long after a project is complete. We handle it all so that builders and contractors can dedicate their undivided attention to their portion of a project.

Building Partnerships With Renowned Builders and Contractors

Our team works with some of the best custom builders in the area to provide customized, turnkey solutions for homeowners.
