Friendly service with unusual policies
Friendly and honest staff. They take their time to make sure you understand everything. And you have the salesperson’s direct number in case of any questions or concerns. Here’s why they lost 1 star: 1. After meeting with the sales rep, you HAVE to at least make contact with the installer the same day to avoid extra charges, even if it’s at night. In our case it was around 9PM, but he was happy to come back for the full install another day which took over 4 hours. 2. They do not clean up after themselves, so any dust or wood shavings from drilling through your walls or doors is left where it fell. And you have to dispose of the product boxes yourself. He was polite about it but it’s some kind of policy they have. 3. You only have 3 days after install to cancel your service if unsatisfied. We are happy with the system but there was a problem during the installation we were told someone would contact us about to resolve. Those 3 days came and went without any word so now we are stuck. It’s not an emergency per se but still a bit off-putting.

The service representative was not…
The service representative was not forthcoming about all the charges. For example, the overall price of the products in service. I was very disappointed even though he gave me some discounts on starting the service. I got two months free up front with no contract, due to my hesitation. I'm not sure if I have a contract when it begins or even if I what's told the truth. I have a lot of paperwork to read through. I sort of wish everything was just explained upfront and was honest. The technician it was very thorough in communicated when necessary. I'm a little hesitant, it's about keeping the service in products.

My representative
My representative, Chris, was great. He didn't push. Answered all of my questions. He even played with my grandkids who were visiting. The system is easy to use and understand. I am able to call if I have any questions and I love the fact that there are technicians local that can assist quickly, should I need it. I can also call if I just have a question about how to change my view on the screen or anything else.
