"Ivan and his team were great to work with and he was very straight forward with what was needed, the costs, and expected timing to complete. I would absolutely work with Ivan and his team again. He took into consideration future home upgrade needs while sizing the panel and did not upsell or recommend unnecessary work. The work to connect the new outdoor panel/new wiring to the existing old panel/wiring was very tricky with the work being done in tight spaces. The new wiring (panel and new stove) was installed neatly and organized throughout the crawlspace allowing for easier future home rewiring work to be completed."

Protecting homes and businesses since 1950, Guardian Protection is one of the nation's largest and most highly regarded security companies. We provide smart technology, 24/7 professional monitoring, and peace of mind to hundreds of thousands of customers. Our products are installed by experts, monitored by real people, and truly make a difference. We do what we do because of one simple truth: life is better when it's safe.

"We hired Guardian to install our security system at our Washington, DC, business. The service and quality of the work was horrible. We had cameras and an alarm system installed; it was a relatively large system. They outsource most of the work to various vendors. They could not manage their vendors; what was supposed to take a week took two months. The sales rep did not return calls, and you could never get anyone in management on the phone. Random people would show up at unannounced times. The few things that an actual Guardian employee did were they made a huge mess of our newly remodeled office and were rude to our staff. We have offices in five markets across the US and have high security at each; we have never had such a poor experience."

We are an electronic design and installation company focused on high quality workmanship and materials. With our diverse product mix and unparalleled design and documentation process, we are able to provide you with an amazing and reliable entertainment experience on any budget.

"We purchased a home that had an existing Control4 home automation system that Tim had serviced for the previous owners. This system includes a rack of equipment and is is far more complex than anything we had previously experienced. The previous owners highly recommended Tim, so we asked him to update the system for our use. Tim promptly did so, helping us by upgrading some of the key equipment items and mounting new tv's, among other things, and did so for a reasonable cost. Tim is very responsive, knowledgeable and professional and is very easy and pleasant to work with. He has been very helpful to us a number of times since, helping us to get equipment operating again after power outages (of which we have had many!) and other issues. We very highly recommend Tim, and do so without reservation!"

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

Smart switches work with pretty much any light. However, if you plan on using a dimming feature on your smart switch, any LED bulbs you use need to be the dimmable kind. It’s more the wiring of your existing lights that can be a problem. Some smart light switches need a neutral wire, and old houses (built before 1985) don’t always have these. Always check if the model you want needs neutral wiring to operate. 

While a strong conventional deadbolt offers enough security for most homeowners, if you’re looking for extra features beyond just simple locking, smart deadbolts are the way to go. Smart deadbolts allow for keyless entry using your phone or a code, remote access in case someone is locked out, and features like temporary access codes, automatic locking, tamper alerts and entry-exit monitoring. Smart deadbolts also come with downsides: they rely on batteries and wireless networks and are potentially vulnerable to hacking by skilled home intruders.

Smart light switches are designed to work with traditional switch wiring, so they should work within your home. However, you will need a Wi-Fi connection to use them properly. Older models may use different connection standards like ZigBee, which must be supported to control them.

Professional home automation services can include automation for nearly anything in your home, so the possibilities are endless. Some of the more common things homeowners use automation for include the following:

  • Heating and cooling for automatic comfort

  • Security cameras and emergency call systems

  • Door and window sensors to detect opening, closing, and break-ins

  • Solar system automation to maximize energy savings

  • Automatic door locks

  • Garage door openers

  • Speaker systems

  • Lighting

  • Appliances

  • Smoke and CO detectors

  • Blinds and other window coverings

  • Lawn irrigation systems

  • Water monitoring

One significant drawback of home automation is the increased risk of cybersecurity threats. With more connected devices in our homes, there's a greater chance that hackers might try to exploit vulnerabilities to access personal data or even control your devices. If you don't secure your smart gadgets properly, they can become entry points for cyberattacks, risking your privacy and safety. Moreover, technology isn't perfect. Sometimes, systems can malfunction or experience connectivity issues, disrupting your daily routines. The upfront cost of buying and installing smart devices can also be a hurdle for some people.
