"I bought the FrontPoint system after reading stellar reviews on Angies List.  My experience has been excellent.  It really was as simple to install as they said -- you basically plug it in and place your door/window monitors.  I like that there was no wiring involved.  
The rep on the phone gave excellent service and answered all my questions    I was impressed I got to speak to the same rep every time, not someone different.
I put "0" for the cost because I don't remember.  It was not expensive, and very cost competitive to other providers.  Also, you can easily scale the system up or down, depending on your needs.

Window Tinting FAQs, answered by experts

Upgrade to double-glazed glass or apply energy-efficient coatings to reduce heat loss and utility costs.

One drawback is that window film can reduce the amount of natural light entering a room, particularly if you opt for a darker or more opaque film. Additionally, if not installed properly, window film may develop air bubbles or wrinkles, affecting its appearance. Over time, certain types of window film may also experience discoloration or peeling. Moreover, certain window films can interfere with wireless signals, such as Wi-Fi or cellular reception. Careful consideration of these potential drawbacks is essential when deciding whether window film is the right choice for your home.

Tinting reduces glare, blocks UV rays, enhances privacy, and improves energy efficiency.

Some frosted glass sprays can handle the outdoors, but most of them aren't built for it. Sprays made for exterior use will say so clearly on the label. Anything marked “interior use only” can't hold up against rain, UV exposure, or changing temperatures without peeling, fading, or yellowing. Outdoor-rated sprays are typically more durable, but even then, proper prep and application matter. Before spraying anything outside, double-check the product instructions. If it doesn’t specifically mention exterior use, skip it. 

Replacing a window frame will improve your home’s energy efficiency if the old frame is cracked or damaged in a way that allows unconditioned air from the outside into your living space or if you upgrade to a more energy-efficient window frame material. Aluminum is the least energy-efficient window frame material, followed by vinyl and wood. Fiberglass and composite frames are the most energy-efficient.
