"Excellent pricing, service and Installation. The technician was very thorough, clean and performed all installations up to code. I had him install Ring floodlight cameras around the perimeter of my home and the picture quality is great. I highly recommend this company and I will hire again. Thank you!"
"Juan was very knowledgable about home security alarm tech details. He inspected our system, changed all batteries and made suggestions. He did not try to sell us more of anything, just made us aware of options if we chose."
"I sent a request quote to Safe Streets and my phone was ringing within 1 minute. Impressed with the quick responsiveness. They are partnered with ADT which made our choice to get our alarm system through them a no brainer."
"Dale was terrific he arrived on time, was prepared to go to work, on arrival. Picked up a few necessary items, I didn’t have. Started and finished the job, cleaned up. Left with a functioning Ring doorbell that was connected to hard wire. Very professional and thorough."
"I needed a home security system for my 81 yr old mother who lives in the Lehigh Valley. I live in Los Angeles and needed something done quickly that would be easy to operate and also be controlled remotely from my phone or computer. These are the guys you call. I called all the top names in the business and would only be able to speak with a sales center. When you call Shield you speak directly with the owner Art Rosenberger. I explained the situation and Art suggested a set up that addressed all of our needs and concerns. On top of that Art was there for the install. His guys were all very professional and took the time to explain the system to my mother, who is not tech savvy. His price is very competitive and the product is fantastic. You can pay for the service monthly, quarterly or yearly and are not locked into a contract. Look not further, save yourself a lot of hassle and call Art."
"They installed a TV for us on the wall. and took the time for the best placement and fine-tuned all video and audio settings. When they were done you couldn't see a wire anywhere. A couple of good guys that really know their business. I highly recommend hiring them."
"James is very knowledgeable and personable. He installed a new laptop copying all my files from my old laptop in one hour (as he said it would take) and I'm enjoying my new laptop so much. He was also very patient with my dogs, who were very territorial during the whole process."
"I highly recommend hiring Larry with Safeway Security for your security needs. We have an older hardwired alarm system in our home that was not functional. I tried contacting several of the larger security companies, but they all wanted to sell me a new wireless system instead of getting my perfectly good wired system up and running. Larry came in, quickly assessed the issue, recommended replacing the older smoke detectors, and upgraded my panel and keypads for a fair price. I am also now able to activate and deactivate my system remotely through my phone. He did not try to sell me something I neither needed nor wanted and took care of the issue promptly. Larry has many years of experience, and he definitely will get my business again if we decide to upgrade or expand our security or communications systems."
"We had personal EV charging station installed by this business' technician. He is very professional, explained all options how to get wires from main electric panel to the other side of the house where it would be convenient for us to charge the car. Provided all required materials and get job done fast and safely, made sure everything works properly."
Most residential range hoods have a CFM between 200 and 600. A higher CFM means your range hood is better at removing smoke and odors from your kitchen. The measurement ultimately depends on your stove’s width and heat output as well as the size of your kitchen.
Compared to the average size of a stove and kitchen, 350 CFM would be the minimum recommended rating for the average kitchen. However, selecting a higher CFM range hood would guarantee better ventilation to match your cooking habits, whether they’re minimal or extensive.
No, range hoods do not necessarily have to be vented outside. Ductless or non-vented range hoods are available, which are common in condos or small kitchens where connecting to external ductwork isn't feasible. These hoods operate by taking in air, filtering it through charcoal filters to help eliminate smoke and odors, and then recirculating the cleaned air back into the kitchen. However, while these recirculating hoods are more versatile, venting to the outside is still the preferred and more effective method for completely removing smoke, odors, and gases from the room.
Yes, professionals can often retrofit models with minimal disruption.
Neglected maintenance can lead to odors, fire hazards, impaired airflow, and reduced range and hood operation efficiency.
A higher CFM will make the price of your range hood more expensive. It can be challenging to speculate how much the CFM rating affects price, but ductless range hoods—that don’t need as high of a CFM as ducted range hoods—are less expensive than their alternative. On average, ductless hoods cost between $100 and $300, while ducted hoods can cost as much as $1,000.
