Areas of Expertise:

Security System:

A security system is a combination of devices and services which work to protect a residence or business against the threat of invasion or intrusion. Security systems sometimes serve as protection from natural disasters as well. Residential, commercial, and industrial customers alike use security systems to safeguard against theft (burglary) and property damage. Security systems are available in a range of formats, levels, and pricing packages. They may involve professional installation or DIY installation. Whether these systems are intended to protect against a single incident or high threat of invasion at all times, they may involve a number of components, such as video cameras, alarm systems, smart home automation, notifications, smart locks, smart sensors, and more.

Smart Home Automation:

Smart home automation offers the latest in security system technology, providing a way for homeowners or business owners to monitor their security through a smart device or home base or hub control panel. Automation syncs both security system components and other smart home features, such as thermostats. From a security system app, users can control their smart locks, window and door sensors, receive notifications regarding carbon monoxide and heat sensors, and more. Smart home automation systems may be connected via wired or wireless systems and generally work alongside full security systems. They may be self-monitored or professionally monitored.

Locksmith:

A locksmith is a service professional who provides key and lock services. For homeowners and business owners, a locksmith can break a lock, replace locks, duplicate keys, unlock mailboxes, and make replacement keys. Locksmiths are trained professionals who can offer lock-related services without breaking or damaging locks or doors. Some locksmiths may be able to offer the same services for smart locks as well. While breaking into certain locks may mean replacing the lock, this route is still often less costly than alternative entry methods. Security system providers may offer locksmith-related services under plan warranties, which helps users avoid destroying equipment.

Home Theater Systems:

A home theater system combines a range of home entertainment features to recreate the theater experience. Some of these features include surround sound, lights, TVs, DVD or Blu-Ray players, and speakers. While all home theater systems include surround sound, not all surround sound systems are used for home theaters. Users may select professional or DIY installation for their home theater system, but professional installation is recommended due to the intricate wiring often involved in these systems. Home theaters may also pair with home automation systems to allow users to control their system via a smart device.

Services Offered:

Professional Monitoring Services:

Professional monitoring services are offered as a part of many security system packages. These services work by connecting a security system provider’s monitoring center to the alarm system or surveillance cameras of an individual residence or business. When a security system control hub is tripped due to a motion sensor alert, the hub sends a signal to the monitoring center, which is monitored by a live person or security guard. The person then contacts the residence or business owner right away to verify whether a false alarm is taking place or whether there is a possible security threat. If the security system holder can’t be reached, the monitoring center personnel contacts the appropriate authorities.

Residential Security Services:

Some companies and certified professionals provide solutions that are focused on delivering a set of products and services for residential customers only. They are designed to fit any home’s needs, from certified locksmiths and electricians to home security systems, home automation, and home theater systems. Companies offering residential services dedicate themselves to provide excellent service to customers who live in different types of homes, from small apartments to larger homes.

Smoke Alarm Installation:

Household smoke alarms are self-contained devices that detect smoke and broadcast a visual or audible warning locally. Smoke alarm installations are typically seen in residential apartments and homes. Smoke sensors come in hardwired or wireless option, powered by electricity or battery-powered. Smoke detectors also sense smoke but are not self-contained. Instead, they operate as part of an interconnected fire alarm system. Smoke detector installations are commonly set up for commercial applications, such as hospitals, warehouses, and hotels. They are usually controlled by a central fire alarm system with battery backup. Smoke detectors are connected wired or wirelessly. In many jurisdictions, they require professional installations by certified technicians. Additionally, an expert operator is employed for all smoke detector repairs that may arise.

Lighting Installation Services:

Most lighting in homes and businesses are now energy-efficient LED (light-emitting diodes) lights. However, new lighting devices and fixtures should be professionally installed by licensed technicians. A lighting technician can provide installation, repair, and service of all lighting devices, fixtures, and products, for both indoor and outdoor lighting. Lighting technicians may offer regular service contracts for repair and maintenance and even help home and business owners choose optimal lighting solutions.

Outlet Installation:

An electrical outlet is a socket that connects electrical equipment to an electricity supply or grid. The electrical supply provides alternating current to the 110V AC outlet. They are also known as electrical sockets, plugs, outlets, and wall plugs. There are two main types of outlets: domestic and industrial. Typically, electrical outlets are installed on wall surfaces, but they can also be installed in the floor or ceiling. There is an ample number of applications for these boxes, like housing connections for electrical appliances, lighting fixtures, smart plugs for home automation, ceiling fans, and more. An outlet box installation is also used for joining wires in electrical circuits and wiring, which can protect against short circuits and electrocution. When in need to install outlets or switches, it is best to hire a certified electrician. They can provide correct and safe installation, maintenance, and reparation of any of the circuitry and its components.

Electrical Panel Installation:

Electrical panels are metal electrical boxes that receive the main power for a home or business. This power is distributed throughout the home or building through circuits via circuit breakers. Because of the massive amount of power surging through these circuit breakers and the possible risk of harm from the current, electrical panels must be installed by professional electricians. The same is true for repairing or upgrading electrical panels, or diagnosing system issues.

Electric Vehicle Charging Station Installation:

Electric vehicles (EV) use electric motors for power, which means they must be charged at some point. Many EVs require charging stations, though some come with converters which allow them to be charged using a standard outlet. An EV charging station is high voltage, which means it will require professional installation and repair by a licensed electrician.

Boiler And Water Heater Services:

Boilers provide heat to homes or buildings via radiators or air heating systems. Large water heaters store and heat water for later use. These systems require complex connections and must be professionally installed. Services may be provided by a licensed heating contractor or a heating service business, and may range from regular service contracts to 24-hour services.

Appliance Installation Services:

Not all appliances require professional installation or repair, though it is a good idea to seek professional installation for new appliances, smart appliances, or for people who do not have technical experience. Typically, installation costs cover just the installation services without having to make any changes or alterations to the home or business space. Minor alterations may be added to the installation price with some service providers. Installation may be included within the price for new home appliances, depending on the supplier. Some suppliers also offer a repair/service plan for a contractual price.

Broken Key Extraction:

After prolonged usage, keys made out of metal becomes brittle or soft. When keys deteriorate, they can easily break off inside a lock, leaving a person locked out of a property or car. Locks can malfunction due to broken keys or another piece of fragment lodged into the lock keyhole. When dealing with a jammed keyhole, it is best not to try to attempt to remove it by sticking anything else in the opening. This can make the problem worse, causing more blockage or ultimately damaging the lock. A certified locksmith is essential to retrieve broken keys or any other debris removal. If the key to a residence, vehicle, or commercial property breaks, expert locksmiths nearby can handle the extractions with the proper tools stat. The locksmith will come out and remake the key and repair the lock, without collateral damage.

Reviews:

I'm really not sure if they're new on this business, but I had worked with other providers before, and I know, more or less, how this works. I hired them to automate my house, and they were saying that they needed more things to be done in my house before they could even give me an accurate quote. The services they required me to do were going to cost me a fortune, so I decided to quote the home automation system with another provider. To my surprise, all those extra services they were requiring were not essential for them to install the system; they just wanted to get more money out of me. This doesn't seem ethical to me.
