Description of Work: Our stereo system was having some problems. Spoke on the phone with Harold and detailed out what we had done for troubleshooting and what I needed looked at. Very patient with me and said they could troubleshoot the problem. Joel, the tech, showed up promptly at the appointed time. He was very knowledgeable on the amplifier we were having trouble with. Within an hour he narrowed the problem to the amp and nothing else in the hookup. We took the entire system apart and installed a new Samsung Wi-fi 4K SDHU TV and Wi-fi speakers. Everything was programmed and works really well. They are a little pricey, but I figure you get what you pay for in life. I would definatly recommend this business and would use them again.

Excellent. Andy was very professional and answered all my questions. When he started to install the TV wall mount that I had bought he found that it didn't fit onto my TV. He showed me how the brackets didn't, line up correctly. He said that he could either reschedule the appointment and I could return the mount and buy another one or he could go to his warehouse and bring back a mount that would fit my TV. There was no high pressure sales pitch to buy their product rather just an option so that I could have my TV mount installed that afternoon. I took him up on the offer of him going over to their warehouse and coming back to my house with the correct size mount. Any then drove over to their warehouse and came back with the correct mount, installed it, answered some more of my questions an was able to do all of this in 2 hours. Great service!

We hired NW Security & Sound to install our television and sound system last May when we moved to a condo, and they sent an excellent, knowledgeable professional to do the installation. They recommended good equipment and procured it for us, and they spent many hours getting the various parts to work well with a universal remote control programmed just for our use. In the months since then, whenever we have had minor difficulties with the system, they have come to help and promptly fixed the problem. NW Security & Sound also monitors our alarm system, and they quickly sent someone to replace a battery when needed. We highly recommend NW Security & Sound!

Description of Work: They installed our speakers and receiver for surround sound in living room. We had a bit of a challenge connecting at first - mostly because of my misunderstanding that he would contact me via my email address; I didn't realize I had to log into my Angie's account to retrieve my messages from the provider. Then there was a misunderstanding of the appointment time for the initial consultation; but, we worked that out. The two people who were scheduled to do the work showed up on time and did a good job. One of the two clearly did not have a lot of experience, so we were happy there was a more knowledgable co-worker with him. Finally, there was an error in running our credit card, but they corrected that as well. Overall the work went fine and we're happy with the finished product; but, there were a few bumps along the way. Could be that the company is very busy and they are understaffed, but I'm not sure.

Our Condo Association wanted to upgrade an out-of-date interior security system in 2012. Several possible suppliers were contacted and invited to supply proposals for our review and selection. Of the five we initially started with, only 2 reponded. One was NWS & Sound from Snohomish. We spoke with the owner, Rick O'Brien, and he came to our Edmonds location, analyzed our needs, and gave us a firm quote. Rick was responsive, timely and in all regards, professional and trustworthy. We had NWS install our system in late 2012. One item of equipment failed in 2014. We contacted NWS for an analysis and determination of the problem. The piece of equipment was out of warranty and would need to be replaced. NWS' technician, Andy, set up an appointment, was on time and quickly determined the source of the problem. A replacement part was ordered; the company informed us of its arrival at their shop and set up an appointment for re-installation. Again, Andy arrived on time, installed and tested the new piece of equipment, cleaned up afterwords and was on his way. It was a joy to work with this company and the technician, Andy, who was like an "old friend" after his two in-home visits. I would recommend highly Northwest Security and Sound for any future security/intercom needs we or other Angie's List members may have. It was a pleasure doing business with them.
Description of Work: System review for defects (May 2014); identification of defective equipment and re-installation of new equipment (June 2014).

Description of Work: Advised on installation and how the system worked together; helped with learning remote. Was surprised that they could not fully program the brand of remote they sold. |Was extremely knowledgeable and patient in explaining and checking how everything worked together. |Was surprised by how much I was charged for going 30 minutes over the 2 hours allocated since the deal was supposed to be for 2 people for 2 hours and I met with only one person.

Response from NW Security & Sound LLC
(member name removed), thank you for taking the time to leave a review for NW Security & Sound. I wanted to take a moment to respond to you personally. After reviewing the work order it appears you purchased a special that we were running on Angie's List. The special or "Big Deal" was for (2) two hours of time total. In your review you mentioned the Big Deal was for (2) two hours for (2) two technicians. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Joel, the service provider was on site for 2.5 hours. We have a (1) one hour minimum that is why you were charged $85 plus sales tax. I also wanted to comment on the remote issue; the remote you have is a URC WR-7 model which is a consumer grade URC model. We are URC dealers however we only deal with the professional grade models. The consumer grade models program differently that the professional grade models. Again I'm sorry for the confusion, if there is anything we can do in the future for please do not hesitate to call NW Security & Sound. Thank you for your business.

I purchased Angieslist Big Deal for 2 hours of work (great excuse to finally have this work done). Rick responded immediately via email to set up an appointment and came to my home within a week to determine the scope of work. Rick was clearly very knowledgeable and had an estimate to me the next day. Although we had a lot of equipment that was installed in the 80s and 90s (and much of the equipment partially removed by previous owners), Rick knew what everything was and had a great plan for getting things cleaned up and ready to be used again. Two of Rick's employees were great - they arrived on time and completed the work within the estimated time. They took what was a complete (and mostly useless) mess and turned it into a beautifully organized hub for audio and data (aka music and internet) throughout the house.
Description of Work: Cleaned up audio/data panel in closet -- removed legacy equipment that was no longer needed/useful and tied off loose wires and cables. Added Sonos equipment to audio panel, re-located and connected to 2 sets of outdoor speakers. Added network switch and connected to modem and data jacks (existing) throughout the house.

LOVED my sound system that NW Security & Sound installed. I used it every single day. The security system enabled me to sleep peacefully at night knowing Rick's team was monitoring my home security system 24/7.
Description of Work: I purchased a new home in Everett, WA and the builder had used NW Security & Sound to install a home security system. If the builder trusted in Rick and his company to have the security system's installed prior to me buying it, then I trusted his judgement. After moving in, I called and spoke with Rick and he had one of his employees come out to activate my security system. Being a single woman living in a new state, I felt so safe and secure having a security system. While he was there we talked about my interest in having a home theater and full home sound system installed. Trusting in my builder paid off as I had Rick come out to give me a quote on a home theater and full house sound system installation. The entire system, customer service and support from Rick and his team was phenomenal. I absolutely LOVED it. In fact as soon as Rick had everything set up, I sat and cried out of pure joy after years of dreaming about having a system like what NW Security & Sound had installed in my home. Rick installed a home theater system in my great room with additional speakers in my office, master bedroom and outside on my covered deck. Rick is the best, don't consider anyone else if you are in the Seattle area for a security system or a sound system of your dreams. I ended up selling my home a year later due to a job transfer and 1 year later still have yet to find a company that can meet my expectations that Rick and NW Security & Sound set back in WA to install my home theater system. Thank you Rick, you need to come to Chicago to install my system here! :) Tammy Mullady
