While the second seems to be of a mold that is almost passe already--it may work, as you say on the business cards. The first to me is a little too cute "HI!...(TechHomes)" Now if you were in Hawaii (HI) it might make sense.
The house symbol is so used but very effective and nicely done here.
I still read Hi TechHomes:
The box around the Hi separates it from the other two;
The spacing between Hi and Tech is much greater than between Tech and Homes.
So now it looks Hi TechHomes but not as organized as before.
I think you're sacrificing the logo look and legibility for the nice idea of mixed meanings for Hi.
However, even if the idea is nice, it works only once, while the logo will be everywhere.
Have you thought of getting rid of the box, and create an animated word where Hi stands there for a while but after shifting to the left the remaining of Hitech letters start being typed on screen?
