“Now more than ever homeowners can have peace of mind in the selection of a contractor to design and install automation, entertainment, and networking systems in their homes,” said Brian Callan, ConnectHome's National Sales Manager. “Knowing that ConnectHome dealers have been screened for proven performance, and that they must live up to the high standards of the ConnectHome Mission Statement, greatly reduces the risk of hiring an installing dealer. Homeowners need a professional dealer they can trust to guide them through the process of making their homes more comfortable, convenient, secure and energy efficient. And now this national program award provides even more assurance that the ConnectHome name provides the comfort and trust that a homeowner needs.”
