"The breaker to my pool pump tripped and wouldn't turn back on. I had a guy coming to check the pump motor but wanted an electrician to check the breaker. I wound up having 2 techs from Mr Sparky come here so will review each of them. The first guy, Robert, was supposed to give us a free estimate for fixing the problem if it was electrical. He pulled the AC breaker and said it was burned, but didn't pull the pump breaker. Said he had no idea why the breaker wouldn't turn on. He charged me $167 for 'diagnostics' which consisted of looking at the wires to the for pump switches, removing the pump motor end cap to look at those wires, and opening the stone catcher basket (no idea why). Back inside, the pump breaker DID turn on, but again, he didn't know why. Turned the pump on but it shut off - twice. Then he sat at my table tapping on his tablet and ignoring me for 10-15 minutes as I stood there with my credit card, waiting to pay the $167. Finally he showed me 3 options on his tablet; one to replace all the breakers and 2 choices for installing a new breaker box outside, pricing up to $10K. We passed... When he left I looked at the troubleshooting manual for the pool pump. It said if the motor shuts off check for low voltage or power drop. So I called their office, explained the situation, and tried to get Robert to come back to check the voltage at the pump. Robert called me back but refused to return. When the office called later to see if I was happy with the service I explained it all and they scheduled another tech, Chris, to come the next day. Chris was very polite, respectful and professional. He checked the voltage at the pump (which was fine) and agreed we should replace the old breakers and add a surge protector, but said there was no need to spend $10K to put the breaker box outside. He said the AC breaker was NOT burned, but he did see evidence of old wires causing arcing as well as the wrong size breaker in one spot, and pointed out that we should have 2 ground rods outside besides grounding to the water main. (Robert never mentioned these) Chris did a much more thorough job of checking everything and it was all included in the $167 I had already paid. The difference between these two techs was such that I actually wondered if it was a "good cop/bad cop" ploy so I would believe what the "good" guy said and happily purchase service from him. If it was, it worked. We had Chris come back to replace all the old breakers, install a surge protector, and put in the grounding rods. Total cost was a little over $3K. As for appointment times.. The first appointment was set for 2-6 pm and they said the tech would call to let me know when he was on his way, which he did. The second appointment was 12-4 pm but he didn't call ahead, saying his ipad wouldn't let him make the call. The third appointment was supposed to be afternoon also but the email I received gave the time as 8 am - 6 pm. I called their office and the guy I spoke with said he'd add a note that I wouldn't be home until 2 pm. So with no call ahead of time I was surprised when Chris and his helper came to my door at noon. Not a big issue (as it would have been if they'd arrived at 8 am) but good to note if scheduling is important to you. The office staff is very friendly and makes you feel as though customer satisfaction is a priority. I didn't bother having another company come out to give me a quote so I can't say whether their pricing was high, low or average. But at least I know we have all new breakers now plus proper grounding and a surge protector, and I feel confident that Chris did all the work properly. Overall, I would have given Mr Sparky an F rating based on my experience with Robert, and still deducted one letter because of him. But if Chris had been the only tech we saw I would have rated them an A."

We are a My Safe Florida Home Approved Contractor. We are committed to the highest quality standards as reflected by our positive client feedback including: Angie's list Super Service Award every year since 2013, A+ Better Business Bureau rating, and a 4.6 Google rating with over 400 reviews. WE ONLY OFFER REPAIRS FOR WINDOWS AND SHUTTERS INSTALLED BY US. We are no longer servicing clients in the Miami area. Assured Storm Protection specializes in all aspects of hurricane protection for South Florida homes. We manufacture our own accordion hurricane shutters and are the only company in South Florida to carry three different shutter product lines (the Bertha, Supernova, & Impact). We offer the supply and installation of hurricane protection products including, hurricane accordion shutters, impact windows and doors, and hurricane storm panels. We offer both residential and commercial services including high-rises. Our volume allows us to offer the lowest prices in Florida! We even have a price match guarantee to ensure you are receiving the best price without sacrificing product quality. Our Window & Door Brands Include: PGT, CGI, ES, CWS, ECO, most made with Cardinal impact glass . Our Hurricane Shutter Brands Include: The Bertha High Velocity Hurricane Shutter, The Supernova Hurricane Shutter, & The Impact Technology Hurricane Shutter.

"This company’s handling of my elderly parents' installation and inspection process was incredibly disappointing. When my parents informed Jake via text that they wouldn’t be available for the scheduled inspection, he didn’t respond to confirm a reschedule. Instead, my father later received a message stating he owed money, which was incorrect, as we have proof of payment. Proper bookkeeping would have prevented this confusion, yet there was no apology—just a dismissive remark that the message was sent in error. Jake then deflected the conversation, asking about the inspection status, which he should have known given the text sent that morning. The way Jake raised his voice and threatened not to reschedule the inspection was highly unprofessional. Customers should not be spoken to this way, especially when they’re trying to accommodate the company’s process. If a client isn’t available, a professional company should be flexible in rescheduling as many times as necessary to complete the service. Moreover, they seem to try to cover up negative reviews by soliciting new ones. Based on this experience, I would strongly caution anyone against working with this company."

"Kivett Maintenance Service responded to our request to repair or replace the spring in our Krol-Up Shutter. He was immediately responsive and very communicative, saying he was pretty sure the spring didn't need to be replaced and was very confident he could repair it, commenting, "besides you don't want the expense of the cost of the spring.

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

The main difference between different security sensor options is the type of motion each detects. A motion detector monitors obvious movements in hallways, entrances, and exits. On the other hand, a presence detector is more sensitive and captures smaller moves. A window sensor typically focuses on the opening and closing of the window, whereas a glass break sensor alarms you when a glass is broken.

In most cases, installing a driveway gate will improve the value of your home. Driveway gates appeal to homebuyers because they provide additional security for the home and make your property more private. Automatic driveway gates are extra convenient and will usually add more value than manual ones. The gate material will also affect the value addition to your home, as it plays a role in aesthetic appeal and security for your property.

Home security cameras typically do not record continuously 24/7. Most options use motion detection technology to trigger recording when they sense movement or a significant change in their field of view. This approach conserves storage space and reduces the need for constant monitoring. When motion is detected, the camera starts recording and may send alerts to the homeowner. However some cameras offer the option for continuous recording, but this requires substantial storage capacity and may overwrite older footage when space runs out.

Your best bet is to install a bracket that secures to the bottom of the unit and the side of your house. You should still secure the AC unit in the open window using some of the other methods already listed, but a bracket is best to ensure that it stays put—both during operation and in case of an attempted theft.

The best window alarm sensor depends on the type of window you’re concerned about since different types of sensors will work best in different scenarios. Many homes are equipped with contact sensors, which trigger an alarm when a window is opened, and each part of the sensor breaks contact with the other. But there are other options, too, like a glass break sensor or motion sensor, which both work well for windows that are in low-traffic areas.
