Electronic Alchemy…read more For those technological advances within the ethereal world of audio/visual, there be a sorcerer, of sorts, secreted in the Township of Langley who practices a little bit of electronic magic. Marius Bleier, owner-operator of B-Tronics, designs and installs wondrous entertainment and home theatre environments...and more. A wizard at all things electronic, with an engineering degree from the Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu-- in the heart of Transylvania-- Marius Bleier transforms spaces into the entertainment and gaming enviros of imagination and dreams. In addition to designing and installing residential and commercial surveillance systems, B-Tronics also designs and builds smart home automation solutions, calibrates systems, and repairs and refurbishes all manner of used and vintage electronics. I recently had occasion to revive a vintage Marantz Receiver that had been in storage for 47 years. Following my failed attempts to get it operating again, I dropped it off at B-Tronics. Not only were they able to completely rebuild and bring the classic old-school amp back to life - and to original specifications - Marius also designed and fabricated a custom Automatic Speaker Switch Module, for me. Not available on the market, the device allows remote switching between two independent, dedicated amplified sound systems-- that is, my Yamaha home theatre, multi-channel surround sound system, and my vintage Marantz quadraphonic receiver. Basically, it allows me to utilize my existing surround speakers for both amplified sound sources - saving the expense of an additional four speakers. I can't say too much about this remarkable resource and the electronic wizardry practiced at B-Tronics. Check out the scenes behind the man on the B-Tronics' website - and prepare to be wowed. Five Stars!

We have been a client with Contact Security since moving into our house 7 years ago and our system…read moreis monitored. Over these years I have stopped into their store with questions regarding our system and possible upgrades. All were dealt with to our satisfaction. Recently we experienced a trouble alarm that I was not able to determine the exact nature of. I visited their office and the technicial remotely viewed our system and determined it was a battery issue. Or more correctly, a couple battery issues. As we are a longer term client with a monitored system, they gave me a main power battery at a significantly reduced price. Accompanying this were details on how to trace down the other battery troubles. In conclusion, it unfortunately is a rarity that one gets such good service in todays world. So if you are considering a monitoring system, why not deal locally with a company that is customer oriented.

It was installed several years…read moreago but would break down consistently and eventually the infrastructure and automation was abandoned from frustration. I then contacted Ankar electronic solutions and had them come to my house to fix the problem. They were incredibly fast to figure out the underlying problem which lay with how the WIFI networking was setup up. They managed to fix the problem that day. There were then some upgrades we asked for and they came through the next day!!! Also at a very reasonable cost. They continue to email and ask about my satisfaction or if I've encountered any difficulties. A++++++

A further plus was that all staff members I was in contact with were polite, professional and conscientious about their work. A significant additional bonus was that the price Budget Blinds quoted for the blind installation at my home was about one half of what a major , well known company had quoted me for the same job. The community is benefitted by businesses with the standard of excellence provided by Budget Blinds. Taffy A.

I had a terrible experience with this company…read more After seeing an ad for a free home security system on the Facebook marketplace, I suspected something phishy. However, I responded to the ad out of curiosity. It was the companies gonad gong show from there on in. The person that posted the ad did not reply to my messages for several days, and then when he did finally respond he sent me a number and the best time to call. So I called at that time only to connect to a voicemail of someone that sounded like they were stoned out of their minds. Then I got a " sorry I forgot ' message the next day. Then he sent me a different number to call, and I called it to hear someone else answer that didn't know why his number was given out. Finally, I learned it was the posters cohort in the scheme that tried to explain the business, and eventually I learned what they offered, which is basically a free home security system if you allow for advertisement on your house. I was told by the 2nd person that it was a 3-year contract, and the monitoring fee is $65 per month, but the cameras and all security equipment and the install of them is 100% free. And that anytime a client moves, Mag Security will come to your house to move the equipment for you. Brinks is their authorized monitoring company. Then the 2nd person stated to me on the phone that because I am a renter and not a homeowner, " just tell Brinks that you own your house. they won't investigate I promise " And then I was pressured to complete the sale and install date with a very shotty and disfigured contract that read " we are not responsible for any repairs of the equipment and we are not responsible for notifying the client of any intrusions on the property " The 1st and 2nd person always seemed to want to call me when they were out partying or out for dinner which is interesting. Finally, I learn that none of the verbal promises made to me on the phone were legit and that Brinks would not provide monitoring for homeowners. Be aware of this company, especially if you are a renter.
