ConnectHome helps homebuyers with new "ConnectHome Neighborhood" program

SAN DIEGO, CA (May 28, 2002) -- -- ConnectHome, the national dealer network for the professional sales and installation of residential automation and networking, today announced the unveiling of their new "ConnectHome Neighborhood" program. This national awareness program is designed to help homebuyers identify and select progressive builders that have partnered with trusted ConnectHome integrators for technology in their homes.

Builders that partner with ConnectHome dealers for the design and installation of modern electronic technology in their homes are authorized to use the nationally recognized ConnectHome logo in their advertising, and to display "ConnectHome Neighborhood" signs in their developments and on their houses. Homeowners know that they can trust ConnectHome installations. They want a proven professional to guide them through the process of making their homes more comfortable, convenient, secure and energy efficient. This is what they get in a ConnectHome Neighborhood.

"Homebuyers want their homes to be wired for networking and have all the latest lighting, temperature control, security and entertainment conveniences. But they want to be sure that the technology systems design and installation is done correctly," said Brian Callan, ConnectHome National Sales Manager. "The nationally advertised ConnectHome brand name is trusted, and gives them the security they need to be certain that their technology installation is up-to-date and trouble-free."

ConnectHome dealers must qualify with the national ConnectHome organization and prove that they have the capability and history of satisfying homeowners. Only select, proven dealers can do business under the ConnectHome logo. In addition to successfully passing initial screening and qualification, ConnectHome dealers must adhere to the stringent ConnectHome Dealer Mission Statement, which states that the customer must receive a friendly, courteous and accurate system design, followed by a professional, technically correct and clean system installation. And in all cases, there must be complete customer satisfaction.
