"The representative at A-HL Computers, Alan, was extremely sympathetic and helpful installing the cooling fan. He ran a complete diagnostics and did the best he could, despite some internal damage that we suspect was done at Best Buy (but couldn't prove). Regardless, Alan installed the cooling fan as requested but the laptop On/Off Switch had been damaged internally so I couldn't turn on the darn thing. Alan helped me back up all of my files from the hard drive and I took back the damaged laptop, deciding to move on to another one. Alan gave me alternatives and options and was very understanding when I told him of my decision to move on. I would use A-HL Computers again without hesitation. Alan was a hundred times more reliable and responsive than the amateur hour "service" that I got from Best Buy. Thank you, Alan, for giving me some peace of mind and doing all that you could do in such a friendly and honest way."

"Great work, great prices, shows up on time and works the whole time, was great around the wife and child, i feel very comfortable leaving Jeff to work unattended. End result looks great and he was unafraid to tackle whatever the job presented: had to remodel a bathroom with built in cabinet due to leak and mold. He removed the door to get the built in cabinet out and counter out; took off a quarter of built in cabinet due to mold damage then rebuilt it to the exact shape and size of original build. Replaced all Sheetrock in the room and baseboards, painted, then returned cabinet to room and reconstructed it with basins, fixtures, and countertop. Did all of this in a single day plus a small amount of prep the day before. Has done a few other small projects for us of all different sorts. 10/10 will hire again."

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

A professional childproofer will first survey your home to identify potentially dangerous locations, including stairs, cabinets, and pools. Once approved, your professional will order and install the safety equipment for you. 

Some ways a childproofing professional will make your home safe include:

  • Anchoring large furniture 

  • Installing safety gates

  • Installing safety latches on cabinets and drawers 

  • Covering railings that could trap a child

  • Covering electrical outlets 

  • Installing a swimming pool fence

  • Removing or covering electrical cords where possible

The best time to hire a childproofing professional is at least three months before your due date. Although it might seem early, proper childproofing takes time, especially if you need extensive services like a pool fence. Getting your house ready now before your child is on the go only helps to protect them at all stages of life.

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are designed to be safe for use in homes with children. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the electrical slots when not in use, which helps protect children from electric shock if they try to insert an object. While they are the safest option available and highly effective, it's important to note that few things are truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug. For this reason, it's best to use tamper-resistant outlets over less effective solutions like plastic covers, which can be removed or pose a choking hazard. Always supervise young children around any electrical outlets or devices.

Many parents, especially first-time parents, agree that professional childproofing is worth it. These professional childproofing services are trained to recognize dangerous home situations that many people would overlook until it's too late. Furthermore, professional childproofing experts have access to top-of-the-line equipment you can't purchase at most stores, providing longevity and peace of mind.

In many cases, you can DIY home childproofing with success. You can purchase childproofing tools like cabinet locks, outlet covers, and table-edge guards and install them easily. 

However, it's best to have a professional childproofing service work on larger projects like pool safety or furniture anchoring. These safety measures can take a lot of time and effort to DIY, plus, you want to ensure the tasks are done correctly to keep your child safe.
