December 30, 2015 Happy New Year!

I hope everyone was able to enjoy the holidays and take a little extra time off to spend with family. I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the association to thank Mr. John Eckerman for serving as the 2015 President of the Rochester Area Builders. He has been a wonderful leader and spokesperson for our Association.

I am very excited that RAB has teamed up with some local area high schools and started a mentorship program. We are looking for at least 40 mentors to represent has many RAB trades and professions as we can to mentor a student. This is great way to expose local area teens to opportunities that are waiting for them right here in Rochester and the surrounding communities. If you would like to mentor a student please sign up!

The new CTECH program started this fall at the RCTC Heintz Center. They are expecting to serve over 400 students each year with some of the programs focusing on engineering, agriculture and construction. These programs will allow high school students to get hands on experience and exposure to these areas and hopefully help fill the gap for employers who are in need of qualified employees within the trades.

Don’t forget you still have time to sign up for the 2016 Home Show. There are a limited number of booths available. This is a fantastic way to get exposure to thousands of potential customers.

I wish you all a Happy New Year!

ABOUT HEARTLAND

WHAT’S ON HEARTLAND’S MIND? What makes your business special?We’re the largest regional security dealer in our area and have twice been recognized as Security Pro Dealer of the Year. We’re locally owned by 14 electric cooperatives, including People’s Energy Cooperative in Oronoco. We have sales reps and technicians throughout central, western, and southern Minnesota and northern Iowa, and we offer local and reliable service and monitoring.

What changes are on the horizon in your industry?Technology in the alarm system industry has changed drastically in the last few years. Cameras and video surveillance have become more popular, along with smart home services. For example, you can now connect your smart home devices so that when you unlock your door, your system will disarm and your lights will turn on. There are apps for your smartphone where you can control and view your system status, monitor activity, watch live high-definition video, arm or disarm your system, set up user codes, and control your thermostat.

What changes are on the horizon for your business?We are moving towards cloud management of systems and off-site video storage. Also, more and more home services are being connected through our alarm systems.

Why are you a member of RAB?We want to be involved in the communities we protect and work with builders to set up smart home security systems and home automation for new homes.

How long have you been in business?Since 1999

What excites you about the expected growth of Rochester?Rochester is the biggest market in our coverage area and with the large amount of both home and business growth recently, we want to make sure we offer the most up-to-date security technology for people to protect what matters most.

What is one thing not even RAB knows about your business?We have over 7,000 customers in 7 states and we offer medical alerts to keep seniors and the disabled independent and in their homes.

Heartland Security serves and protects nearly 7,000 families and businesses in the Midwest. Owned by 14 rural electric cooperatives in Minnesota and Iowa, including People’s Energy Cooperative, their success is based on the understanding that their clients want to feel secure in their home and businesses, while knowing their security systems are backed with commitment to deliver long-term value through exceptional service, superior and reliable equipment, and competitive pricing.
