What Is HTA Certification?
HTA Certification means that home technology integrators meet a set of rigorous standards set by the Home Technology Association. It’s a badge of honor that means you’re working with among the most trustworthy and advanced home technology integrators, which is why we at Design Electronics are so proud to boast it.
What Are the Requirements?
To be considered HTA certified, every home automation company must meet these comprehensive standards! We’ve listed a few highlights so you can see some of the strict requirements firms must follow.
- Ownership and management team must have over three years of successful business performance
- A stellar reputation in the marketplace
- A demonstrated history of technical competence
- At least $1M of liability insurance
- Have not filed bankruptcy in at least the past five years
- Must perform background checks on all new employees
- The ability to deliver high-performance enterprise-grade computer networks
- Endorsements from at least three manufacturers
- The ability to provide engineering documentation and as-built drawings (Estate & Luxury tiers only)
As you can see, these are extremely thorough standards that over 25 industry experts, plus the HTA’s esteemed Board of Advisors, have worked to create. These standards aim to bring the consumers what they’re looking for, whether it’s homeowners or builders and interior designers ready to embark on an extensive project. Ensuring that clients are able to find the right home automation installer for them is always the goal.
Different HTA Tier Levels
Within the HTA Certification, there are three distinct levels a home automation installer can achieve: Foundation, Luxury, and Estate. What matters most to you is Estate, which is the one we have at Design Electronics, so it’s the one we’ll focus on.
The Estate Certification is the highest tier and goes above and beyond. This level is for luxury residences of any size, with the company requiring the skill set for homes 10,000 square feet and up and likely with multiple structures across the property. These residences feature world-class interior design and architecture and likely have domestic staff, while the homeowners might own multiple homes.
As the top certification, these projects will likely take months or years to complete! High-level design and engineering plans, high-level system performance and craftsmanship, and high-performance technologies across the entire premises can be expected. Homeowners can expect complete customization for every aspect of the projects. With budgets of $250,000 and up, clients can expect “concierge-level” of customer service and overall experience.
