Technical Support Policy for Honeywell Integrated Security |
 |
Honeywell is committed to providing the very best customer service and
technical support to our customers. Ensuring that our integrator base continues
to comply with their agreements by keeping Honeywell certified technicians on
staff will help us provide prompt and accurate technical support.
Our new technical support policy, which begins on June 30, 2008, will bring some
changes in the way we offer telephone technical support. One of the major
changes to the policy is that we will offer free telephone technical support
only to integrator technicians who have received Honeywell certification
training, or to sites that are under the original warranty period. Hourly rates
for telephone technical support are shown below:

* All rates are billed in quarter hour increments
* There is a 1 hour minimum on each call
Credit cards will be accepted at the time of the call. Integrators may opt to
purchase time in advance with a company purchase order to avoid the extra step
of giving credit card information to a customer service representative when
placing the call.
Having technicians who are Honeywell certified increases their productivity on
the jobsite; allows them to install, configure and troubleshoot systems without
manufacturer assistance; creates shorter tech support calls, resulting in
minimum hold times; and increases the ability for the Honeywell technician and
the field technician to resolve problems more quickly.
Integrators will
have until June 30, 2008 to bring the status of their sites up to date or elect
to purchase a Blanket SSA to avoid the outlined support charges. If you would
like more information on this policy or would like information on how to
purchase a Blanket SSA, please contact
