Most industries have memberships or certifications for businesses to prove their expertise. For instance, if you’re looking for a new dentist, you’d feel better knowing they’re part of the American Dental Association. Likewise, if your child is applying for a college program, you’d ensure it’s accredited and performs well. That same thought process can apply if you're searching for a smart home company.

Many Utah homeowners want to know if a business has the experience and expertise required for a flawless home technology installation. They may know that smart home systems require complex and sophisticated knowledge, but they may be unaware of the best way to determine if a company is capable of delivering a high-performance smart home experience or is reliable.

The Home Technology Specialists of America (HTSA) helps homeowners identify the best in the business. We’re a proud HTSA-certified integrator providing services in Davis County, Summit County, and beyond.
