"Bryan D helped me with my new house alarm. Bryan was friendly and pleasant to work with. He took his time and listened to my needs for my desired level of security. (I am quite the paranoid person when it comes to home security!) He is extremely knowledgeable and was informative and thorough on all aspects of security, from the system functionality to do-it-yourself enhancements around my home. He gave me a ton of great advice and I feel 110% at ease with my security system! I highly recommend you work with Bryan at Alarm protect group!!"

"We recently worked with LSVG Electrics to install our Philips Hue smart recessed lights into our family room. To start, the electricians from LSVG were fantastic. They arrived promptly and began by walking through the plan, answering any and all questions along the way. Since we had no existing ceiling lights they had to run all new wiring, map out the placement perfectly, and handle ceiling cuts. They did all this flawlessly - so well done we did not even need to patch or repaint the ceiling. The fixtures sit completely flush, and the Philips Hue system provides incredible brightness as well as amazing color customization. LSVG made sure all wiring was up to code, provided a warranty and verified the lights were all communicating properly with each other as well as the Hue app before leaving. They cleaned up as much as they could of any slight mess they created during installation. The whole process was very seamless and stress-free! We look forward to workin with them again."

"It was our third time using The Handy Veteran and it will not be the last. Kevin and his team are absolutely top notch! Our first job with Kevin was to replace and paint all of the wood and trim in our entire house, replace carpet with LVP flooring on a third of the floors in our 3000sqf home, refaced our fireplace, install a new front door, & paint the entire house. Second job was to repair and paint our large deck. This last job was to replace more floors, remodel our guest bathroom and hang multiple lights fixtures. Our first job was in 2020 and the initial work they did is still perfect. Kevin stands by his work. He is not satisfied until the job is done right and was extremely accommodating to all of our requests. He wanted us satisfied and happy with the work and even made some great suggestions that really enhanced the final outcome. Him and his team are extremely respectful of our time, professional, friendly and trustworthy. Also very fair with their pricing!"

"I selected this company for several projects in my home based on the wonderful reviews I saw here and I am so very glad that I did! We started with a bathroom that was totally remodeled and replacement of the kitchen counter/sink and replacement of a tile backspash. Next up they repaired the basement staircase/installed a new handrail and refinished the hardwood floors. I was so thrilled with the experience and the results that I brought them back to remove popcorn ceilings and to paint the walls and ceilings. Right now they are finishing up a second bathroom remodel that is also gorgeous. I cannot say enough good about this company. Andy, Anne and Ginger were so very professional, honest and helpful in getting the projects and estimate work orders set up. Each of the tradesmen were also extremely helpful in explaining what was being done ( I am inquisitive) and were there on time and very careful to protect the floors, etc and clean up after completion of the work. Thank you Urmas, Scott, Rein, Virgo and Heath for sharing your finely honed skills with us. It has been a pleasure to work with each of you. Quotes for the work were competitive and any minor concerns I had or add-ons I requested were addressed promptly and fairly. I will be using this company again next year for other projects; no need to look elsewhere, they are trustworthy and wonderfully skilled."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

This is the topic of much debate, though there is no “better,” as it depends on personal preferences. Some of the components of a wireless system keep working when the power goes out, as they are battery-powered. On the other hand, a wireless system typically connects to your modem and router. Wired systems use landlines to communicate, which never go out on their own unless they’re physically cut.

Security cameras do not need wiring if they are wireless, meaning they are battery-operated and can connect through Wi-Fi. You’ll need to change the batteries on a wireless camera and ensure you have a steady connection to Wi-Fi for video storage. If you have a wired security camera, you’ll need to plug it into an outlet or other power source and a DVR device.

Yes, there are, and they often come with a screw set to ensure they stay secure. They run on batteries, depend on WiFi, and often require a WiFi extender. These typically cost less than $50. Doorbell cameras like these are great for renters who can't install a wired solution. However, a wired doorbell camera is a better choice for homeowners looking to invest wisely in home security.

Leaving a light on at night probably does not deter burglars as much as we would like. While there isn’t much evidence supporting the theory that lights deter burglars, there’s not anything disproving it either. If you feel like it offers added security because a burglar thinks you’re at home, then you can set your lights to a timer so they go off and on at intervals, mimicking someone moving around inside the house at night. A better idea is to install motion sensor lights in your yard.

Understanding the pros and cons of installing a home security system is the first step to deciding which one is right for you. A few of the advantages and disadvantages include:

Pros

  • Added security for your household

  • Reduced home insurance premiums

  • Many smart home integrations available

  • Security companies can monitor your home 

Cons

  • Expensive setup costs 

  • Subscription costs can add up quickly

  • Features may be vulnerable to hackers

  • Weak signal reduces the security of a wireless system
