"It was extremely easy to set up and it is very convenient to use.  I can use my cell phone to turn the alarm off/on wherever I am (or using the box if you aren't a smartphone user), and you can even have your phone automatically remind you to set or disarm the alarm when you are within a given distance from your house.  We use the alarm mostly for checking when people arrive/leave the house (kids got home, handyperson comes by), and for the fire alarm and water sensors.  The water sensors have come in very handy to let us know about a burst water heater and a leaky washing machine before more damage was done. As with all good smoke detectors we've had a few "burnt cookie" alarms, and FrontPoint has always called within seconds to check that we are okay.  We haven't needed any actual police/fire interventions but I imagine that response would be speedy too. You can view the history of the sensors so we can check when someone arrived or left.  We use the door chime so that we know when someone is entering/leaving the house with a pleasant "ding d***" every time the front or back door opens.
The agents will walk you through the setup very quickly and easily.  We went with a non-standard setup for our older home that has many large street-level windows - if someone is going to break in, they aren't going to jimmy open a thin old window, they'll just throw a brick through the large pane of glass and walk right in.  So, we got the glass break sensors for each room instead of the individual magnetic open/close sensors for each window. That was also cheaper since we have 3-5 windows in every room. We haven't had any false alarms (that we didn't trigger ourselves by forgetting to turn off the alarm).  Another company, SimpliSafe is very similar and much cheaper.  Many people at work use them with no problems.  However, they didn't have glass break sensors at the time, and their system isn't as flexible as FrontPoint's, so we went with FrontPoint.

"We have a two story house with five bedrooms. We have over 30 windows. It was a very reasonable price. They were not the cheapest but not the most expensive. It went great. They were very responsive. They were very prompt. They were so hard working. They would get here at 8:00 AM and work straight through until 8:00 PM. They cleaned up as best they could and did a phenomenal job."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

A properly constructed and maintained chimney crown can last 50 to 75 years. However, its lifespan can be significantly shorter—20 years or less—if it was poorly constructed, improperly installed, or damaged. Factors like using the wrong materials or failing to prepare the brick around the flue can lead to moisture buildup and premature breakdown, potentially resulting in a more costly rebuild.

Your fireplace flue is open when the chimney is unsealed and open to the outside air and sky. That’s why one of the best ways to figure out if your flue is open is to visually check for daylight inside of your chimney—or to feel for a draft, which may be generated by the difference in temperatures inside and outside of your home.

You don’t need electricity for a wood-burning stove unless it has a blower fan. Some wood-burning stoves include blower fans to help with heat distribution, but blower fans have a motor and use electricity to power the fan. You can still operate a wood stove without using the blower fan, so it’s a good source of heat if you have a power outage or are looking to lower your electric bill during winter.

Although they provide heat, light, and atmosphere, pellet stoves require electricity to run certain parts, which some homeowners may find to be an unfortunate additional expense. They can also produce noises that some may find annoying, like a low rumble from the blower fan or its motor.

Wood is classified as either hardwood or softwood. For firewood, hardwoods are generally the best choice as they tend to burn longer, hotter, and produce less smoke than softwoods. Recommended hardwoods include oak, hickory, maple, cherry, ash, beech, birch, elm, and walnut. Oak is a particularly good option as it's widely available, slow-burning, and doesn't produce much smoke or sparks. Some woods, like oak, hickory, and cherry, also emit a pleasant scent. It is best to avoid softwoods such as eucalyptus, poplar, and willow, as they create a lot of smoke and have a high moisture content that makes them difficult to light and burn efficiently.
