"The alarm, when it goes off, is very loud!!! This is a good thing. If we ever need to activate it, it will definitely scare off anyone trying to come into our home. We can set it off from our phone or from the keyboard control panel that we installed in our bedroom. We feel very safe with this purchase."

"I’ve had nothing but problems with SafeStreets. The installation was a mess—took hours longer than promised, and the technician seemed clueless about the system. When I called customer service, they were rude and unhelpful. The security system itself is glitchy and keeps going offline. Definitely not worth the hassle."

"AMAZING! He's earned my trust. Shawn's incredibly knowledgeable, patient & kind. Not to mention easy on the eyes! Nice guy, for sure. It's clear he loves techy stuff & has an easy way of explaining things. I'm honestly shocked his prices aren't much more. His level of expertise coupled with his teaching skills are impressive. Here's what happened; I THOUGHT my computer was broken. I actually made a few lengthy (customer service calls first. I have no idea what button i pushed or didn't push when my computer starting going crazy! It seemed like 20 - 40 new tabs opened up simultaneously... one immediately following the next! I panicked & pushed something. I think i pulled a few cords! The screen turned black, then flashed, now random letters & possibly numbers started typing themselves out! I really don't know, it happened so fast. The moment I saw a blue screen, i unplugged it! I called some customer service #, was on & off hold for literally hours, transferred to this one & that one. The tech.'s were all nice enough although hard to understand. I was in tears! After 2 separate calls & hours on the phone, I gave up. Honestly, I wanted to throw it all out & start over. I was talking to my friend about this nightmare. She told me about "Shawn Moore" of "Shawn's Wholesome Store." She really went on & on about him. I called him right then & there. I was pleasantly surprised how many questions Shawn asked. Usually they don't want to discuss anything until they're on the clock. He has a calming, empathetic confidence about him. Now the big question, is this going to brank the bank? I agreed to an inperson diagnostic test. Shawn arrived early to our appt. dressed in khaki's (not jeans). Our appointment went better than I could have hoped for! He explained a few things then asked if I was interested in having a training session with him. I very much appreciate anyone who asks first instead of charging me for a service that I didn't know I was getting. I thought i needed my computer 🖥 to be replaced. In the end, Shawn was able to recover all of my files, saved my photos & fixed my computer. Since then, I've had 4 different remote sessions with him. "I bought a package of 6 training sessions." I feel more confident everyday to work with my computer & phone. Oh, while he was here, he noticed my cell phone screen was smashed. I thought I had to replace that too. Nope! He fixed that too."

"The Smart Home features they installed, such as thermostat and door locks, etc. do not always work. For example, the Honeywell thermostat can no longer be operated from our phones and is difficult to install. Remote door locks are also unpredictable."

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

You can still install a smart thermostat without a C-wire, but it may not work as accurately or efficiently without one. Without a C-wire, a smart thermostat may disrupt Wi-Fi connectivity to other devices or can cause the HVAC system to cycle continuously, which puts more strain on the system and can lead to damage.

Smart switches require a neutral wire for correct installation. Neutral wires aren't typically present in a single-pole switch configuration, so this project can be a tricky one for average DIYers. In most cases, you should hire an electrician to run a new circuit or adapt your existing wiring to include a neutral connection to accommodate a smart switch. 

Upgrades to your home’s curb appeal often add the most value for the money, including replacing your front door and garage door, upgrading siding, roofing, and landscaping, and installing new windows. For interior renovations, a new coat of paint on walls provides the greatest return on investment (ROI), but upgrading appliances and major home systems like HVAC equipment will also go a long way, as buyers will see immense value in the peace of mind the new equipment provides.

Someone specializing in security camera installation is your best choice for installing a doorbell camera. They will know how to position the camera properly to give you the best viewpoint and can even help you configure the camera. In some cases, a general electrician or handyman can also handle the job and may be more affordable than a security company.

You can increase your home’s load factor by replacing fuse boxes with a circuit breaker, hiring a licensed electrician to upgrade your electrical panel, upgrading wiring, or installing subpanels. An electrical inspection by an expert can help determine the state of your current electrical systems and how they can be improved.
