Potomac Security Systems

No issues. No middlemen, just father and son team. Great!

Put in a nice modern system that is working well. Some of the big brand names advertise systems that sound like a bargain, until you see how little is included. I had a system from one of those names in my previous house, and when you called them the automated phone system (press 1 if ... etc.) was so convoluted and tortuous that I wondered what would happen if I needed quick help. With the monitoring company for the present system you get a live human directly. The price was in line with another local security system company.

Jeff Young, the owner, did a great job explaining alternatives and explaining pros and cons of various options. the installation was excellent -- very neat and careful about the furniture and woodwork. He provided a very complete explanation of the features of the system and how they worked. We've had zero problems now after about 8 months.

Potomac Security Systems installed an excellent security system in our house. I feel completely safe and secure when I go to bed at night or leave the house b/c I know that the security system will deter and/or sound the alarm on any intruders. I highly recommend this company. The founder/owner explained everything to us, helped us practice various scenarios, and offered a competitive price.

Most recently Jeff Young helped us by replacing a massive back-up battery to our system, when the old battery failed just as we were leaving town for the Shore. Jeff dropped everything and obtained the rare battery for us and helped us with the installation before we left town, to the great relief of us and our house sitters. Overall during the last 10 years the service has been outstanding. We feel much more secure due to this system. We have recommended Potomac Security to our neighbors at least one of whom has had Potomac install a system for them as well.

Provider did an excellent job of reinstalling the main security panel in a very professional manner. Provider has consistently provided the highest quality service for our system. Further, the provider has advised us of potential technology upgrades which are available and installed those upgrades which we requested. Provider's work is very professional and leaves the house in a very clean condition.

Jeff Young installed my alarm system 9 years ago. When there has been an issue, he has been responsive and prompt. He is honest, knowledgeable, and professional.

Outstanding work. I've frequently recommended Potomac Security to others because of my great experience. They've installed full security systems in two homes for me over the past 15 years. I appreciate that Jeff Young, the owner, is a consumate professional engineer and personally handles all of the hands-on work; he is available at any time for troubleshooting (which may be needed evenings or weekends). He or his wife have patiently guided me via phone on how to replace batteries and solve other minor issues. He takes pains to design a system tailored to meet the individual security needs and budget of the client, and makes changes as needed through the years. My systems have been pretty much trouble free, and Potomac's monitoring fees are fair and even.

Mr. Young responded to my initial inquiry very promptly and scheduled follow-up appointments as soon as his scheduled allowed. He was courteous and professional. Mr. Young suggested a reasonable number of element to install and was willing to work with me to cut some elements out in order to lower the price. After just under two months, the system seems to be working well.

Excellent. I called Jeff Young who walked me through checking the system's functionality and reminding me of the security codes and operation. He also reconnected the system to the remote monitoring service immediately. Same day service.

Thorough explanation of the system which was most helpful

Great service. I wouldn't consider using anyone else.

They're responsive. If I ever have a problem, they'll fix it. I can get a hold of them quickly if I need them.

Problem solved - very well

I was very happy with my experience from beginning to end. Jeff and his wife are very nice - it is refreshing to work with a smaller, family owned business that seems to really care about taking care of the customer. He came to my house for the estimate and was very honest and forthright. He followed with the installation, which he did himself personally, which was quick and easy. The system has been working beautifully since. I have no complaints at all - it was much smoother than I even thought it would be, although I saw all the great reviews on Angie's List. Another great Angie's List experience!

They did a great job. They were professional and really thorough. The only reason we did not go with them was because they were a little more expensive. I will probably use them in the future to get a quote.

Arrived on time on the scheduled date. Neat, efficient, through installation. Explained system features and tested system with us. Left operation manuals and charged less than his estimate.

The entire process from the envisioning of the alarm system to installation was outstanding. Jeff's years of experience and guidance helped in the cost of installation. His comments and guidance for the alarm installation centered around the best value instead of profit. We recommend him highly!

Jeff was professional from start to finish. While his price was in the middle range of what we found, we felt his installation and service would be more professional than others. He completed the work in about 5 hours and was diligent from start to finish.

Jeff and his son actually did the installation. They came on a Saturday and Sunday. Since I work during the week they offered that option. There were some glitches in the original alarm wiring of my house, but in just a few hours Jeff figured it out. ( we saved money by using or existing wiring). We installed these digital touch pds, that are so easy to operate are practicle, and are the state of the art in technology.

They do home security work and alarm systems. They are professional, responsive and punctual.

Jeff explained everything really well and very clearly. He worked with me to get the price within my grasp and offering suggestions. The installation took under 3 hours for a system for a 3 bedroom ranch. He was a pleasure to have in my home.

Jeff Young was thoroughly knowledgable and professional. He didn't recommend any unsuitable options and was impressively expert in home security. We would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone who wants a complete, reliable, state of the art system.

We called him to give us an estimate a few months before we actually went ahead with the installation. When we called him back, he remembered us and our home, scheduled an install date that was very convenient for us, did the installation himself-and was very creative and clean about how he installed the items. In addition, we experienced a malfunction of one of the sensors for which he very readily made himself available to correct. Absolutely sterling professional and we were very happy with our experience. We would hire him again in a second.

The work was done promptly and at the estimated price. The owner, Jeff Young, explained the various options to me with clear concern for my finances. He really tried to save me money in my choices of components. Jeff did the installation himself. He was very knowledgeable and professional. He spent substantial time teaching me about the system, as a result of which I have had no problems at all using its various functions. Potomac Security Systems is a real find. A small company with professional, personal service. I'd recommend Potomac Security without any hesitation.
