// Why the certification exists

Anyone can call themselves a home technology integrator. Very few can prove it.

Unlike architecture, law or medicine, there is no licence required to open an integration business. The Home Technology Association was created by industry insiders to change that: an independent certification, built with input from more than twenty-six industry experts, that identifies technically skilled, service-driven and trustworthy firms and classifies them by the size and complexity of project they are equipped to deliver.

Technical skill

Only firms with a demonstrated history of technical competence are certified, because only they can deliver a system that works as designed.

Responsive service

Technology changes and occasionally fails. Certified firms must show a track record of high-quality aftercare and ongoing support.

Trust

A history of fair and honest dealing, verified through references, endorsements, insurance and financial checks.

// Three tiers, one fit

Where WH Technologies sits.

The HTA classifies certified firms by the scale and complexity of the projects they are equipped for, so a homeowner or architect can match the firm to the house. WH Technologies is certified at the Luxury tier.

Tier 01

Foundation

Simpler homes and needs
  • Residences of 5,000 sq ft and under
  • Projects that take days or weeks
  • Technology budgets generally under $50,000
WH TechnologiesTier 02

Luxury

  • Luxury residences of 5,000 to 10,000 sq ft
  • Professional-grade automation, high-performance theater and audio
  • Collaborates with luxury architects, builders and interior designers
  • Documents every system in an engineering plan set
  • Technology budgets generally $50,000 to $250,000
Tier 03

Estate

Large-scale, multi-structure
  • Residences of 10,000 sq ft and up, often several structures
  • Concierge-level service, domestic staff, multiple residences
  • Projects that take months or years

Tier definitions are the HTA's general guidelines, quoted from its certification standards. Most projects do not fit one category exactly; the HTA recommends reviewing a firm's profile for its actual project range.

// The Design Partner designation

Certified to sit at the design table.

HTA Design Partner is a separate designation, available only to HTA Certified firms, for integrators that offer technology consultation and design and collaborate with the architect, builder and interior designer to integrate technology into the home in the best way possible. Only a small percentage of integrators provide design and engineering documentation at all.

In practice it means we join your project early, resolve technology in the drawings rather than on site, and issue the documentation below to your design and build team.

For Architects For Builders HTA guidelines
  • Technology drawingsSpeaker, display, keypad, camera, shade, panel and head-end locations for coordination with other trades.
  • Space requirementsHow much room the equipment and panels need, so the design team can allocate it.
  • Electrical requirementsPower loads, outlet locations, dedicated circuits and grounding for every technology system.
  • Thermal requirementsBTU loads and ventilation for equipment head-ends, confined spaces and dedicated theaters.
