Huston Electric was contacted by Immaculate Heart of Mary to discuss a possible refresh of their current technology. Huston visited the school to provide an assessment of their classrooms, and asked the administrators and teachers what they wanted to be able to accomplish with their new technology. They informed us that the previous installer was very impersonal, they did a poor job on the installs, and they were very hard to get a hold of after the installation.
At Huston, we take great pride in being there for our customers before, during, and after the installation. For Immaculate Heart of Mary, we ended up removing and disposing of all their existing whiteboards, and replacing them with SMARTs new 65” SMART KappIQ Interactive flat panel displays. We also installed SMART Speakers for enhanced sound in the classrooms.
The installation of all 24 rooms was accomplished in the time frame they needed, we connected each one to the teacher’s computer workstations, hiding the wires so they are free from view. Along the way we answered questions and worked with the staff to ensure they had each board where they needed them, and that they knew to operate them by the time the school year started.
Immaculate Heart of Mary was so impressed with the installation and the care given to them, that they agreed to do a short documentary video about the project. We are very pleased with the outcome of this project, and would love the opportunity to work with you on any future technology upgrades you may be considering at your location.
Shelly Jenkins, (Technology Director Immaculate heart of Mary) provided the following testimonial:
“ We could not be more pleased in our choice of Huston Electric for our Smartboard upgrade project in 2017! Your efficient work, and helpful guidance enabled us to complete our entire school installation project in the time we had estimated. Your installation technician, Brandon Bowyer, made sure each classroom was prepped correctly, even answering teachers questions along the way. Every cable is securely mounted, and practically invisible – Such a great job! The SMARTBoard interactive panels and speakers systems are perfectly installed, look fantastic, and work great! Thank you for your training on how to use them easily, and tips about common functions. Our teachers started off the school year with excellent new equipment, and we highly recommend Huston Electric as the best SMARTBoard installation company in Indiana”.
