Smarthome Offers InstallerNet Installation Services on INSTEON Product Line
InstallerNet, a Boston-based company that coordinates the installation of consumer and commercial electronics, announced a new partnership with SmarthomeTM, the world’s largest home automation retailer. InstallerNet operates the largest network of independently owned home electronics installers in the United States while Smarthome offers more than 5,000 home automation, security, consumer electronics and hard-to-find gadgets through its award-winning website (www.smarthome.com), retail catalog and brick and mortar retail store in Irvine, CA.
The partnership allows Smarthome to offer InstallerNet’s nation-wide installation services on its INSTEON® home automation product line. INSTEON is the best-selling home automation network on the market, providing users the ability to remotely control and monitor lighting, appliances, HVAC and security systems. Smarthome customers will have instant access to installation services, through InstallerNet’s nationwide network of 3,500 certified installers, specifically trained on the installation of INSTEON products. Consumers can purchase installation services through Smarthome and contact InstallerNet to schedule the work. An InstallerNet customer service representative will select a local installer and schedule and track each installation.
“By providing a nationwide network of installers, specifically trained and supported for our INSTEON line of products, InstallerNet has not only removed all installation barriers for our customers, but will also allow us to reach a whole new audience of “Do-It-For Me” customers, adding convenience and confidence to the overall purchasing process,” said Mike Scharnagl, Smarthome’s Director of Marketing.
“We’re excited about this new relationship and the opportunity to help ensure the proper installation of INSTEON products for Smarthome customers,” said Bill Sheehan, Director – Business Development, Residential Services.
InstallerNet’s installation services are expected to be available to Smarthome customers on March 31, 2010.
