We've collaborated on many projects together over the years and Wayne Alarm Systems is our first and only choice when our clients need a monitored alarm system. We personally use their services at our office and will continue to refer them to our clients. Thanks for all you do.

I reached out to them three or four times over the past four weeks since they did the monitoring at the last condo I lived in. They were totally unresponsive. Not very professional at all.
Description of Work: Needed a new alarm installed in a condo I purchased last month in downtown Boston.

Description of Work: We got a quote to install the system and for monitoring. They were higher on the install than ADT, but lower for monitoring so it worked out to be about even cost wise, maybe even a little less. They were punctual, knowledgable, professional, LOCAL and had the home phone line free program we were looking for. Zack was a great representative. Will continue to use.

I was really good. I went with them because I felt they were most sincere. The sales person came to my house, she was on time. She really tried to understand what my needs were. I had just experienced a break in. She kind of went over all the window needs and door needs and recommended against some of the things I thought I needed. I thought they were sincere. And I like that they were local. They have a local calling center, their own calling center. It's easy to get in touch with them. She gave me her cell phone number. I have the local office number as well. They call right away if the alarm goes off.

Excellent crew; punctual, professional, cleaned up after themselves. They were able to fix something the contractor had done in error with no difficulties. Office staff helpful and professional as well. I would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to neighbors or friends.

I contacted Wayne Alarm Systems and it was over 2 weeks before anyone responded to me. I received an email response requesting further information. I sent them that information and now it has been another 2 weeks and I have not heard back from them again. This seems to be a theme for every vendor I have contacted via Angie's List. Over 7 different vendors for a variety of services have followed suit.

Please refer to the above.
Description of Work: After our next door neighbor's house was broken into, we decided to have a security system installed. There were two local security companies. We wanted to use local so that the system was not monitored in another state, which I believe is the case with a lot of the companies that advertise a "free" system for you. Beware of this "free" part. We chose Wayne Alarm because they have an A+ rating from the BBB, and they are also a larger company than their local competitor. Our Sales Consultant, "Barry Kolsky", was great. He arrived on time & was neat, professional & knowledgeable. The knowledgeable part was very important as we had no experience with a security system. After listening to our concerns, inspecting our property & looking at where the break-in was @ our neighbors home, Barry came up with a plan for our house. Let me say here that I had no idea of the cost of installing security, but I was sure it would be expensive. Not true....We got everything we wanted & more for an incredibly reasonable price, with 24/7 monitoring. The team who installed the system came exactly on time; they were neat, very professional, patient, & explained everything to us about the system. Note: they actually came during a major snow storm & even covered their shoes with special covers to not track in any dirt or snow. After they finished their work, I decided I wanted an additional monitoring box put on another floor so I called. No problem even though the storm went on for another day....they came back the next day and stayed until they were able to complete what became a very difficult electrical job. Again...no complaining, no clean-up for me, and after 5 hours of two people working, the box was in, & I was only charged a lower amount for the higher priced box. There was no additional charge for two people working for 5 hours. After watching the amount of work this team did for 5 hours, I could not believe I was only charged a lower amount for the box ($165 for a $250 box). As to how do I like the system, & is it easy to use?? I never wanted a security system as I thought it would be an expensive pain in the neck. I was wrong, wrong, wrong. The system is very easy to use, is unobtrusive, & I am in love with it. I could not explain the feeling of security I have now. BTW, I did call the other local company available to me while I was comparing them to Wayne Alarm. The other company tried to sell me additional equipment over the phone, before I even made an appointment with them. They also told me I would save "a lot of money" off my homeowners insurance, which I found was not true when I called my insurance agent. Yes, you save some money. I don't have the exact amount yet, but my agent said it isn't a lot, probably about 5%. Barry never used this as a selling feature, and when I asked him about it, he told me the truth. When all was said & done, I got everything I wanted and then some for less than $1,500, for a big house...and this includes 6 months of 24/7 local monitoring. The monthly monitoring charge is $24.95 with a 3-year contract. I believe you can sign a one-year contract for $26.00/month. This was also a lot less money than I expected, even with a 1-year contract. I highly recommend Wayne Alarm Systems, Inc. & our sales consultant, Barry Kolsky.

I have used Wayne Alarm since 1991 and the service has always been very good. They are very prompt. They also monitor our infrared capability. They were referred by ATand T in 1991. I pay $60.00 for 6 months of monitoring.
