Marcus and his team did a PHENOMENAL job with our install and I could not be more pleased. Being an older house, the job was not easy, but they were professional and knocked it out!

I had a disappointing experience with the Vivint sales representative Eli Reid. Before I signed the…read moreagreement, he was very attentive, responsive, and made it seem like he would be available to help if I had any issues. After I signed, that completely changed. The installation was never completed. The technician came out once but couldn't finish the installation and returned a few days later. When he came back, I told him I no longer wanted to move forward with the service. I was told I would have to pay an additional $100 to cancel on top of the $35 I had already paid, even though the system had never been fully installed. When I later spoke with a customer service, I learned that there was a way to properly cancel my service and that my sales rep (Eli Reid) could assist with that within minutes. When I contacted Eli to provide me with what was needed to cancel, he said "Sure! I'm working right now, but I will take care of it when I get a moment." Afterwards, Eli text me and literally said, "She's just going to have to keep it." Very unprofessional and not at all assisting. I guess he's no longer willing to help. I understand that companies have contracts and cancellation policies, but I expect honesty throughout the sales process. If promises are made before a sale, they should still matter afterward. I hope Vivint provides better training and accountability so future customers receive accurate information from the beginning. All in all, if a gentleman by the name Eli Reid (I.D. 609711) comes by your home, ask for a better sales rep.

Canceling Vivint was far more difficult than it should have been…read more A year ago, I was told I needed to pay off my equipment financing before I could cancel service. After paying off the equipment, I called to cancel and spent over an hour on the phone speaking with two different representatives. I was repeatedly placed on hold for 3-5 minutes while they returned with new offers to keep me from canceling, including discounted monitoring rates and replacement equipment through "loyalty points" that I had never heard of before despite being a customer for years. I was also charged an additional $35 for equipment-related costs that I was told were not included with my financing. Although my cancellation request was eventually approved, Vivint informed me that my account would not be processed for cancellation until 10 business days after notice was received. I was also told that monitoring charges would continue during the review/processing period. The representatives were polite, but the process felt focused on retention rather than providing a simple and transparent cancellation experience. Customers should not have to spend over an hour on the phone, endure multiple retention attempts, and wait additional business days just to end service.

Great guy. I had a couple of issues that I would expect someone with so much pride in his work to…read morehave handled differently. First: he accidentally broke an exterior light in 2 places but didn't tell me. I noticed it when I was looking at the fixture, which was completely smashed on two sides. I sent him a photo and he said he must have hit it with his ladder and offered to replace it. That's pretty difficult to miss hitting, but whatever. I asked if I could pay him to install another light that was broken on my front porch, of course I would pay for that. I ordered the light based off the part number. Partially my fault for not taking it out of the box to inspect it, but I had to leave the house and he installed the light. When I returned home I noticed the light was 2 times smaller than the other 2. I mean, wouldn't a professional ask a customer "did you notice the size difference", especially because it's so noticeable, before installing the light? My usual electrician certainly would have because it's his name and company reputation and he doesn't want something to look bad or be incorrect without reconfirming with me. Now I have to pay my usual electrician to uninstall the smaller light fixture and pay to have the correct size installed. I take responsibility on part of the issue m, but I expect more from people who take pride in their work and this issue impacted my overall satisfaction. Good job installing my Ring system. I've had a few issues with sensors installed incorrectly that I have been fixing myself. I won't use him again but I would recommend him, just double check his work before he leaves and don't expect any "extra effort" on his part. Definitely knows how to install the cameras and door locks and set up the Nest system. Zero issues there. Worked quickly and pleasant to work with. Trustworthy to leave alone in my house (which I'm usually weird about). So still impressed by him and most of the work he did for me.

Thanks, NorthStar, for making my decision that much easier to go with your competitor. UPDATE: So, does that mean you didn't bother reading my response to you (see screen shot of image I just uploaded from my reply immediately back to you). Again, you have proved my point. Maybe your reps are tied up bc they're in the phone trying to respond to all the negative customer service reviews, like mine. It took you *2 weeks* to respond and accuse me of "not responding" to you when I did so within hours. Nice. Second Update: I see Martha has retracted her comment to me on my review (hence what my first Update spoke to....now it doesn't make sense, but you get the picture of what happened). More proof this company doesn't "have it together." I strongly encourage those looking for a security system to look elsewhere, or at least do your research before committing to North Star. This company has given me the run-around and I'm not even a customer! There are many other companies that value your time and business more than North Star. I am a perfect example.

I'm writing this on a day that my neighborhood just went nuts because we had some door-to-door…read moresupposed alarm company sales people going around. I called NorthStar, my security company, to see if they'd ever heard of these guys and they told me that "reputable firms don't go door to door." That reminded me that I was overdue for writing them a review. My husband and I (well, my husband mostly), interviewed four or five firms before selecting this one. Their installers are also their sales guys. In other words, these are people who know their stuff. Nobody tried to sell us something we didn't need. The guy who came out - and followed us through some installation difficulties (way our house was built, not NorthStar's fault) - his name is Gary. He is friendly and SUPER knowledgeable. He explained things and then explained them again and gave my engineer-husband all the detail he wanted. But when I had a question and DIDN'T want the detail - he boiled it down for me. Their pricing was similar to other firms we talked with. Pay for the equipment and have lower monthly monitoring, or do a 3-yr contract with higher monthly monitoring and lower/no equipment costs. They give you several options to work with your budget. Bottom line is, they weren't significantly higher or lower than anybody else. We had our first "false alarm" the other day. Our nanny accidentally set off the alarm and while she was punching the code in downstairs, my husband was also punching it in on the keypad upstairs, which cancelled the whole thing. Kinda funny actually. The monitoring service called us WITHIN TWO MINUTES. I was glad to know they were on the ball just in case we need them for real some day. In the end, we went with this firm because they were the most knowledgeable, didn't have pushy sales people, so we felt confident we were getting the info we needed to make a good decision. Turned out to be a very good decision!

Do NOT switch back to Ackerman. Ackerman used to be a…read moretrustworthy company, but that changed after the owner passed away. When the company changed ownership, my account was sold to ADT without my knowledge. I only found out when I started receiving bills from a different company. When I contacted ADT (my "new company") to ask what was going on, the explanations were vague. Eventually, I received an email saying Ackerman was still operating and encouraging me to switch back. Because I'd had several issues with ADT in the past, I decided to return to Ackerman. Terrible mistake. Basically Ackerman sold my account and then convinced me to buy it back. The representative that came to my home, Natalie, told me I needed a new control panel and other replacement equipment, to the tune of around $1,000. I was also advised not to cancel ADT until an Ackerman tech came out to activate my service, which meant I had to pay both companies for the same month. On top of that, Ackerman charged me two weeks before my service agreement was even scheduled to begin. It's been several months and Natalie (who was supposed to be my point person for Ackerman) will not reposed to me inquires. Based on my experience, if your account has already been transferred to ADT, I would recommend staying put. For me, it wasn't worth the extra cost or frustration.

After being very disappointed with two well-known home security companies, I signed on with CPI,…read morehave been with them for about 5 years now, and in 2 homes, and am VERY happy with them! They offer a great package, competitive pricing, and top-notch customer service. Their system is so effective and thorough, that I feel like I live in Fort Knox, which is a great feeling for a woman who lives alone! Very straight-forward and easy system to use, and the company's responses to events are within seconds. Chuck, who has been with CPI for several years, is not only a terrific installer/technician who knows his job from top to bottom, but is always so happy to explain to the customer everything he's doing, and answer their questions and concerns thoroughly. He also ensures that his customers have all the security features that they want/need, prior to leaving their homes. He's also very intelligent and a lot of fun to be around. On the other hand, Michael S., who initially installed the CPI system in my current home, simply came in, did his work, and never really bothered to explain ANYTHING to me, unless I asked him a specific question. Even then, his response was very brief. And, thanks to Chuck, I just found out yesterday that, for 3 years, I was being charged for a security feature that Michael had neither offered me nor installed. So, in addition to highly recommending CPI Security Systems, I also highly recommend that you request Chuck to do your installation, etc., if available!
