Engineered Alarm Solutions Inc.

As part of our basement reno project, we wanted to install new security measures as well as upgrade our existing alarm system. This not only included new alarm keypads, smoke/CO detectors, and the transfer of alarm monitoring company, but also installation of (i) a number of home automation devices (including thermostat, door locks, garage door openers, light switches....all of which can be controlled via an app on my iPhone), and (ii) exterior security cameras + NVR (video recording).

For us, it was a pretty large project with many moving parts, but Gabriel and his team were very professional through the whole process and got everything installed and working nicely! The final price tag was a bit too high for my liking but I really loved Gabriel's professionalism and appreciated his team's expertise.

Only con: I would have loved to have been able to use and view my front doorbell camera via my iPhone (with audio). Couldn't remember if that was an option. As it stands, we have a video doorbell with a video monitor pad installed inside the house. Which works great.

Other than that, we are very happy with Engineered Alarm Solutions and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

After some small but annoying issues with my alarm system I decided to do some upgrading to the video recording portion of the system. Using Homestars I contacted a number of vendors and short listed down to three suppliers all whose prices were very close for similar work. Gabriel of Engineered Alarm Solutions not only responded with a quote but asked me a number of questions about my system. He than provided me with the quote in writing plus he also called me and offered me several possible options ranging from a minor tune up to a complete overhaul of my existing system. Eventually after further research I decided on the full overhaul as I wanted a much better quality of video than I was currently getting. Gabriel came out and did a pre-install inspection and we made a few minor changes and a new detailed contract arrived in my email the next day. A few days later the crew showed up exactly on time, worked very neatly and professionally removing the old system, pulled all new wiring and installed all new electronics and were finished late that day. No new holes, no marks on dry wall and no mess left in the house. Best of all the system has worked flawlessly since. New system is dramatically better in all ways than old system and the contractor was very flexible, responsive and a pleasure to deal with. I now plan to use Engineered Alarm for all my alarm maintenance issues in the future.

Changed my Rogers modem which disabled my remote access to the video security system. Contacted Engineered Alarm Solutions for help. Returned call promptly, set up an appointment for next day to troubleshoot remotely. They contacted me next day exactly on time resolved issue within 10 minutes remotely - no charge. That is what I call service.

I required a camera security system installed at a business site. I obtained various quotes from competitors but I wasn't confident any would be able to meet my specific needs. From the moment I contacted Gabriel, I was impressed by his knowledge, his expertise, his professionalism and his exceptional customer service. Gabriel is a Professional engineeer. His training, experience and willingness to go the extra mile in ensuring all my concerns were addressed was impressive. He and his team were always courteous and efficient. I would recommend Engineered Alarm Solutions without any hesitation.

After moving into a new home, the security and alarm system that was originally installed gave us problems from day one. False alarms, trouble zones, deplorable customer service, and months of aggravation. After looking on HomeStars we decided to contact Gabriel. The difference from working with the competitor and working with Engineered Alarm Solutions was night and day. We went from a system that did not protect us and a company that did not care about their customers to a best-in-class solution. With Gabriel, we had a full alarm system, home automation, and security cameras installed. He met with us in person to ensure we fully understood the services, how they worked, and how to use them. As an engineer by trade, Gabriel gave us comfort in his expertise and superior knowledge in the field. No sales pitch, just honest work and guidance on how to best protect our home and family. We now have a top of the line system, apps installed on our mobile devices to monitor our home anywhere at anytime, and peace of mind that we are TRULY safe and getting the value of our investment. Making the switch to Engineered Alarm Solutions was the best decision we could have made and worth every penny.
