"I was on the market for a security system and this one seemed easy enough to install.......went through the process and some of the window sensors were not working. I called Customer Support who was very friendly and we went through the entire process again...this time other window sensors did not work. This went on for a week or so...then the door senors stopped working....than the motion sensor stopped working...at no time in over a month did I have a fully operational security system. As I was about to return the system I was told they have "new" sensors and they just realized they received a bad batch and are working with another company.....Gave it a try....and same issue returned....some sensors worked....some didn't. I finally returned the system and stopped getting emails.....only to find that they were still billing my credit card even after I returned the equipment. Very nice people and very understanding.....unfortunately their product is not up to par. While we do have a large home, it's an open concept and the sensors that weren't working were no more than 15ft away from the base. The previous owners of my house had a wireless system with no issues at all.....I'm going to be using that company going forward."

"The worst company I ever dealt with. 1. They left out ceiling fan from estimate and demanded extra for it on the project day so I bit the bullet and agreed to pay for it. 2. They changed the plan where the trench will be dug because the worker noticed how thick the wall was. Because of this, they bursted water pipe and Molly, the office worker told me I wouldn't be charged for it but then changed her word later on and demanded that I pay half of the plumber cost. I argued back and she threatened to report me and put a lien on my house. 3. I told the estimator where the water line is and that the house is 200 yrs old and probably not built up to nowadays code. But they kept saying that it is my responsibility that the water pipe broke. I mean, even if I didn't tell them, it doesn't take an expert to tell how old the house is and the water pipe is visible??? 4. Molly, the office worker can't do math and put higher amount on my first invoice. Do not trust her to bill you correct amount. 5. After bursting the pipe, they covered the area upon rough in inspection to hide it from the inspector saying it was for my convenience walking the dog, etc 6. The plumber they hired didn't fix the leak properly and was still leaking the next day. Their worker noticed it and they sent the plumber back out without letting me know to my vacant property. 7. No apologies at all after all this mess but the owner decided to tell me to 'knock it off' because I was getting upset at this ridiculous conduct. 8. Molly, the office worker couldn't even bother to tell me what time the workers were coming so I took my day off expecting them to be here in the early morning. They showed up around noon. My husband could have met them if I knew that earlier. I lost my earning for no other reason other than her laziness. Again, no apologies. 9. The ruptured water pipe caused my hot water heater to break because it was full of mud. I had to spend another $1400 to get it replaced. Record every conversation if you must hire this company. Rather, avoid this cluster of inadequate people."

"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."

When we opened our doors in 1997, we had one goal in mind: to design custom integrated home security systems based entirely on the vision and needs of each of our clients. To that end, we decided we would provide the best security equipment available, offer the best possible customer service to our clients, and make security systems accessible and affordable to families and business owners. We’re proud to say that this driving philosophy remains the same – over 38,000 customers later. We continue to listen carefully to each of our customers before designing an integrated security system to meet their needs. At GuardMe Security, we take pride in our dedicated staff of trained professionals who serve as the foundation for our company. Each member of our staff does whatever it takes to exceed our customers’ expectations and deliver the highest quality products, installation, and service. Additional DBA - Guard Me Inc. Additional phone number - (732) 583-8445.

"They installed a camera and security system for me. The security system mostly works- though there'd been some weirdness here and there, but they are very slow at responding to help with system configuration issues. The install also took ~2x the time it should have due to poor planning on their part. The real issue are the cameras - poorly, incorrectly installed, and a sloppy job at that. I made my displeasure known - they are useless when it rains or snows - and they refuse to do anything about it. Add to that a 2x markup on end-of-life equipment, and I'm out. I'll end up replacing them myself and redoing the install job when the weather gets nicer. Long story short: when my monitoring agreement is up, I will move my business to another (DMP) integrator."

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

Home automation costs an average of $1,000, and most projects fall between $200 and $2,000. The total cost will depend largely on the level of automation you want in your home. High-tech, all-inclusive systems can cost well over $10,000 for larger homes, so most homeowners set a budget and then provide that to an expert to get the best results. You can also opt for DIY home automation technology for between $100 and $500, but the scope and interaction between products are usually limited.

Improves water efficiency, reduces oversight, and enhances landscape health.

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.

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.

When deciding whether a home automation system is right for you, consider the advantages and disadvantages first.

Pros

  • Home automation can help make your home more energy efficient, possibly lowering utility bills.

  • A wide range of automated solutions is available to meet your needs.

  • Centralized and remote control of different home automation systems.

Cons

  • Home automation can be costly.

  • Not all automated systems are compatible with each other.

  • Over-dependence on home automation can be problematic if systems cannot connect to the cloud.
