161 Miguel was very responsive to questions and concerns during installation, even though he went on a planned vacation while my work was being done. (His son covered for him.) 4 stars for quality because the woodwork around my water heater closet was quite banged up during the removal/install...
Torres Plumbing, LLCThey are one of those companies which tells you one thing but does something else. They are short-staffed for installers and have canceled a couple of times. The salesman was very slick.

"Chris was very professional, on time, and went above and beyond to help me get my project done! I was in a hurry to get a stove installed. I also had some other lights and outlets I wanted installed, but weren't urgent- but he fit them in (even though it wasn't really planned). He left the project very clean- and was extremely fast getting everything installed. I will hire him every time I need electrical work from here on out!!"

"Working with Rush security has been highly disappointing and mediocre at best. We had multiple missed appointments with their technician until I put my foot down and said I'd cancel service if they did not show up. He started to show up after that, but just for a couple days and in my opinion still did subpar work. At first, the alarm system would not register away, only "stay". Then the doorbell camera was constantly ringing even when no one was there. The motion detector also does not work. Next, we paid $400 for equipment and a $75 monthly monitoring. I wish I would just gone with Ring because they are cheaper but I wanted to support local. When we asked to cancel we were told we'd have to pay a 1400 cancellation fee to recoup the loss of having an electrician come out and for the 'low' $75 monitoring and to buyout the contract. Initially, we were told they offered no contract service, which was the only reason we went with them. I did the math and that 1400 fee would total out to about 1.5 years of subpar service. No thanks. We took the loss but you do not have to, go with someone else or just install your own alarm"

"I was nervous at first due to my inexperience with security systems and protocols, but Kevin at Herringbone was incredibly knowledgeable and understanding. The previous encounter I had with another provider left me feeling like I was getting in over my head as I was treated like an idiot and talked down to. I was almost taked into spending close to 40% more for a similar system, and a few bells & whistles I didn't need, or request! Kevin was very thorough and to be honest...patient. I ended up with a system I could manage, a professionally installed fence, and an alarm system that fit my needs completely. To say I am happy with Herringbone's services would be an understatement!"

The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits. Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90

Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
An accredited, licensed smart home specialist should install your home automation system. For example, a qualified smart home specialist will belong to an organization like the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association. Licenses for qualified technicians require the technician to demonstrate experience and pass state testing. If you’re ready to install a home automation system, consult multiple technicians in your area to compare services and prices and find the best fit for your job.
The average cost of a home automation system is around $950, but typically ranges from $200 to $1,700, depending on the brand, system features, system size, home size, and location. The highest-end home automation systems can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $150,000, including smart appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, and ovens that require installing extensive wiring. Any subscriptions for maintenance services will also impact the cost of a home automation system.
