We were selling our home and as a result of misunderstandings and miscommunications were backed into a corner time wise with an inspection and some work. Bill in sales (I think) moved some things around and had someone on site in two days who determined we needed updated devices. Patrick installed them on the same trip which got us compliant for FD inspection and closing. Thanks Bill and Patrick for your help and respomsivemes.

Did not deliver on signed proposal of June 5, 2018 to incorporate existing security system into fire alarm panel. Was instructed by the sales rep, who came to our condo, not to pay another monthly fee as we would be billed one time of $220. Yes, we have the proposal. Multiple calls to attempt to straighten this out. Office unaware, despite several calls explaining above, that a sales rep actually came over. We've had no resolution.

I've been a customer for ~2 months and am already looking for a new provider. I've had two false fire alarms dispatched to my fire department, resulting in engines coming alarms blazing to my house to discover no actual alarms were going off. The service department seems overloaded and unable to provide timely support. Each person who calls me seems to not have the context from the conversations / decisions of previous calls - e.g.

I was called about a low battery alarm a few hours after I had been told by support to disable my battery. The customer service is not what you would expect from a service business that performs such a critical function, from the person who sold me the system to the people answer service calls. Overall I am in the market for a new provider, and regret spending the money with this vendor.

I had an alarm system installed by Cape Cod Alarm this past spring. I am quite knowledgeable about alarms due to my job and was looking for a local alarm company for my home. Bill came out to do a survey and was very thorough and no nonsense. He made commonsense recommendations and did not try to upsell instead let me know about additional options. I purchased the system outright (no "free" or $99 alarms here) at a fair price and entered into a one year monitoring contract by their in-house central station at a decent rate. I have never had a malfunction or false alarm other than those caused by me to test the alarm system. I highly recommend this company and will be renewing my monitoring contract this spring.
