Tom, the owner, came to our home first and went over what we needed and he gave us his professional advice as to how to go ahead with an upgraded system. Tom was absolutely a professional from the word go and a nice man as well. The crew came on Tuesday (Tom was at our home on Friday) and started on time! They took great care of our home with drop cloths and such and were a pleasure. After the installation, they assisted us in loading the APPS to our phones and Ipads and showed us exactly how to navigate the system. A great experience!!!
Description of Work: The men came to update our ADT equipment. We were never happy with ADT's customer service. They completely rewired and updated our system to include glass window breakage security.

Fox Brothers showed up on time, were extremely courteous and professional and conducted their entire installation without making a mess. They thoroughly explained everything they did and offered extensive training on how to use our new system. They also offered to come back any time and train us further at no charge if we needed any additional help. Yes, there are alarm providers out there that will install a less expensive system, or even offer you free hardware and installation, but the work will be shoddy and the alarm will not work as well as the one installed by Fox. Mark Fox, the owner even stopped by throughout the installation to check on his technician's work and make sure everything was going according to plan. I highly recommend Fox Brothers to anybody in the market for a home security system. If you drive around the Lehigh Valley, you'll see tons of Fox Brothers signs on business and homes, and it's no surprise why after having our security system installed by them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Description of Work: Fox Brothers installed a comprehensive alarm system in our home including window and door open sensors, smoke / fire detectors, and glass break sensors. Because of our dog, they had to add sensors to the windows instead of motion detectors, as there is really no motion detector that will ignore a dog.

Description of Work: Mark came with Ryan to install a home security system. Mark quickly went over all the paperwork while Ryan got right to work on installing the hardware. All went smoothly. Ryan was very knowledgeable and explained everything to me in a way I understood. There was no mess and everything was installed in a timely manner. Both Mark and Ryan were prompt and courteous. Mark was very considerate in explaining the various parts that I could purchase, and I never felt pushed into making a decision. I am very happy and feel comfortable with my decision to purchase a security system from Fox Bros

Description of Work: Fox Brothers installed a security system in my home. It was a totally positive experience. The technician who did the installation was professional, and obviously knew his business. While he was installing the system, he came upon a problem, but found a solution that worked very well. He was neat and he fully explained the system to me, which is very user friendly. I now feel quite safe in my home, and when I go away. I am also confident that if I have any problems or concerns, Fox Brothers will promptly address them. In my opinion, they are a top-notch company.

mThey arrived on time did all the necessary installs, tested the unit as best as they could, especially the motion sensor ( we have a cat.). There was an issue that evening, they were out the next day and resolved the problem.

I highly recommend Fox Brothers Alarms. I read the reviews of several companies here on Angie's List, and decided to speak with a representative from Fox Brothers. Tom was very accommodating to our schedule, even meeting us during the very short window of our home inspection. He addressed our concerns and never once tried to sell us anything additional. They adjusted their installation schedule to meet the change in our closing date. They arrived early in a well marked company van. The two man installation team were a pleasure to have in our new home. They were polite, professional, clean and knowledgable. It was an extensive installation which included fishing wires through walls in various locations. They did such an outstanding job, that you are unable to tell they were even here! They went above and beyond answering our questions and helping out however they could. The system has been in use for two weeks and it works wonderfully! We are very happy with their services. This is the type of family owned company people want doing their security systems. No subcontractors here - actual long term employees. I will recommend Fox Brothers Alarms to my family, friends and clients.

Of the three companies I spoke to, Fox Brothers had the most flexibility in designing/adjusting the security system to meet my needs. Mark Fox spent several hours with me reviewing possible equipment and levels of security. He meet my requirements at a reasonable cost. They arrived on time and were professional in their work. My house was left neat and clean. The system works as I had hoped and they have been good about making adjustments as I required. Overall they were friendly and accommodating. I recommend them strongly.
Description of Work: House alarm system, digital thermostat, and monitoring system.

They are excellent and the owner came out to give me the estimate. He made the experience very smooth since it was my first time installing an alarm system. I was very impressed that the owner came out because it is a pretty big company. They went above and beyond than my expectations. They even installed dead bolts for me since I didn't even have them on my doors.

Overall, it was really nice to use someone local vs the giant of ADT and recieve very personalized service. Mark Fox spent a considerable amount of time with me on the phone and also in person. I called to cancel ADT as my 3 year contract was ending and they offered me a lower rate, suprise. I called Fox backa and while they didn't match it they did drop the monthly rate down to 35/month with a secure radio system. They were on time each time, and Ryan Harrison who did the routing of wires did a great job listening to what I wanted where and did a nice job including cleaning up all of the wire pieces in the basement. He even cleaned up some wiring I need to pull out from ther previous home owners. I cannot speak for the service in regards to alarm monitoring however I suspect it will be fine and Mark added what I needed to be comfortable. I would HIGHLY recomend this business compared to ADT which contracts out folks to do the work and you never see them again. Thank you Mark and Ryan.
Description of Work: I bought a house in 2006 that had the first story wired for an ADT set up but the former owners took all the components. I had ADT come back and put in the system however I was NOT pleased with their service, I will put that in another review for them. Based on that experience I decided to go with Fox Brothers as they were a local company. Fox Brothers came in and installed an additional motion sensor and changed my service over to their network.

The installation crew was on time (early actually) and very professional. They answered all of my questions and took the time to explain the alarm system to me. They even offered to return on another day to explain the alarm system to my daughter, who is renting the home. My daughter ended up calling them to stop by to go over the system...such wonderful customer service!
Description of Work: replaced an existing ADT alarm system. This is a home that my daughter is renting from us and we were very concerned about her safety. ADT monitoring had failed. I call Mr. Tom Fox, as I already have their system in my current home. He came out to the rental home the same day and provided us with a solution. Their crew came the next week to install a Fox alarm system and we couldn't be happier. I don't even know why we didn't go with them in the first place. They are a top notch company and I've never had a complaint or issue with the system that I have in my home. I highly recommend Fox Brothers Alarm.
