Description

I would first like to say thank you for taking the time to look through our website and showing an interest in the products and services we provide. After receiving my Electronics Degree in 1984, I worked in the cable industry for two years. During those few years, I was disturbed by the lack of attention given to providing quality service and overall regard for customer satisfaction. It was then that I made the decision to begin my own company. I started small, and only offered telephone and cable wiring installation to local builders. As my reputation grew as a reputable sub-contractor, my business grew as well. I began to install alarm systems, computer networking, surround sound and whole-house central vac systems as well. I also turned the relationships I had developed with my suppliers, into a distributorship for the products I offered to my clients. The electronics field is rapidly changing and it is our first priority to offer our clients the most up-to-date information and ideas on how to make technology work for them. Equally important, we work with you to stay within budget while also meeting your needs.

We offer our customers the best two wireless security systems on the market today. DSC and Honeywell are the largest in the industry for product variety and innovation. After consulting with our customers and explaining the differences in the systems, we help you make the decision on that is best for you and your family. Since these systems are priced equally for the most part, we are not ever trying to “up-sell” anyone. The State of Illinois requires an “Alarm Contractor Private” License for an individual to sell and install security systems. This license is not easy to get. There is a 3 year minimum waiting and work process that has to be completed before an individual is even allowed to apply and be accepted to take the state test. Which I have to admit is very difficult. Even with my education and experience in the field. The test is given every six months along with special insurance and testing fees and in the year 2000 I qualified for my license. This license is in the person’s name, not the company name.

At C.A.V.I. we contract with a central station monitoring company based out of Kansas City called Alarm Central LLC www.alarmcentral.net They provide security monitoring services to companies like us that do not own our own central stations. Because they are in the business in selling a service we are able to work with them on the cost per month of the monitoring. Since we are not under any long term obligation they know we could transfer our accounts to another company if we choose. The cost of our monthly monitoring (using a telephone line) is $15.00 per month paid annual in June or December and does not require any long term contract. Any time after the first four months of service, a pro-rated amount will be sent back to you from C.A.V.I. if you decide to stop the service. The same goes for our feature rich GSM cellular & Smartphone monitoring for $25.00 per month. Some other alarm businesses may be connected to other companies like ADT that once you sign up for monitoring your account is sold or handed over to them and then the alarm company you thought you had service from cannot help you when it comes to price.

The move comes as part of the Electrolux Floor Care global initiative to consolidate its production and distribution operations, according to a statement from Electrolux Floor Care. Production and distribution operations will relocate to the existing Electrolux Floor Care Products plant in Juarez, Mexico and the company's large International Distribution Center in El Paso, Texas. As a result, Electrolux Floor Care will have a single site for all North American manufacturing and distribution of vacuum cleaners and central vacuum systems, the statement said. Company officials said the relocation would be done in stages beginning in the second quarter and extending through the fourth quarter of 2009. A headquarters sales and administrative staff of about 40 will continue in Webster City. State Representative McKinley Bailey of Webster City said Iowa Workforce Developemt will be sending a rapid response team to the community to help workers make the transition to a new job.
