I had Slomins for over 20 years at the old house. We moved to Jersey and I picked them up here. They were good in the past. They had some commercials about a free camera and I was hoping to get an upgrade since I had them for 20 years but I didn't get that.

We put Slomins in our home two months ago and it was fine and they had a fast response when I goofed. I opened the door and before I could shut it, the phone rang. The only problem we have is it’s been a couple of months now and we haven’t gotten a bill.

Sidney, thanks for the review. We will check that out for you and get back to you.

I have Slomins' home monitoring service and installing the security device was easy and smooth. I once accidentally set off the alarm and they were very quick to respond. And I appreciated that. I feel safe simply having an alarm service, so it comes in handy.

Had salesman come over. There were two people came. They told me all about alarm and it all sounded good. After install the key pad never had the right weather. It says 12 degrees every day. The install man did not have stickers for the windows. So I called the salesman three times. Every time he said no problem. To this day I do not have them. Finally I called office again and some girl told me she would send out five. That's the most she could do. I called the office at least five time of the keypad not working right with weather. The salesman selling point was I was getting a weather read out every day and that sold me on buying it and not the other company. Today is August 29 and if not working by end of month you will have to take system out. The install man blamed the Hicksville office and the Hicksville office said it was the install man. The whole experience sucks. Wish I never bought it.

We've been using Slomins for almost three months now and I’ve been calling on my bill to come and pay what’s due. When I finally received it, it’s cheap and prompt when it's supposed to be. Also, the installation was cool, quick and professional. The installer did what he had to do and left. Everything works so far. I got daughters and I feel safe when I'm at home and I could leave with ease and come back.

Luis, thanks for the review. We are glad you and your family feel safe!

My experience with the new alarm system has been nothing but disappointing. We are Slomins customers for 11 years. We were told that we were getting a new free alarm system and never disclosed that there was a contract or additional fees to get the remote app. Our billing has been messed up. I've had to call customer service three times and now the fourth. Our new alarm was installed and a home phone does not work and no one has showed up to fix it. We were never trained properly on the new alarm system. And when we asked for the new camera the indoor camera that supposed to be free we were also never told that there is additional monthly fees with that as well.

We were not 100% certain that we wanted an alarm system. We had a limited budget left as this is a new home we are just completing and funds are minimal at best. A Slomins rep came out and after going over everything with him, the equipment we would need, the costs for this equipment, we decided to go ahead with it. This despite the fact that we really didn't have the extra funds to do it but we thought our family's security was worth trying to make this work.
However the rep provided inaccurate info and the system he has sold us is unusable/worthless to us. He sold us a motion sensor system. We have two (2) 100 pound dogs and three (3) cats. We can't arm the system when we leave unless we take all of our animals with us every time we leave our home. I advised Slomins within days of the installation that the system was worthless to us. We were then away for two weeks. Upon our return, I again began my attempts to get this resolved.
In addition and even more disturbing than the fiasco with the system, We were billed twice!!! And then Slomins had the audacity to us we may have to wait 10 days to get our money back that they collected twice almost a month ago. And this is only the money which we were overcharged. They have still not even addressed what we are going to do with this worthless system and the money we spent on that!
I am a business owner. If I operated my business the way Slomins has handled this, I'd be out of business. You can't tell me that there is no one at Slomins who has the authority to issue a refund now??? If Slomins has a conscience and/or an ounce of ethical morals they would owe up to THEIR mistake and refund us our money and take back the worthless equipment we had installed in our home. I will absorb the cost to repair the holes in the walls where all of their equipment was installed. Come on Slomins - Just be fair and honorable.

As far as security, we’re not really out in a bad area. The way my house is set up, I can be home and nobody would know it, and I’ve lived like that for 30 years. But my husband works across the way and there was a disgruntled person over there. We have a lot of expensive stuff and I have a lot of guns, and we didn’t need him sneaking over here and getting in to anything, and this led us to put the alarm system in. I called a couple of alarm system providers, but their prices were astronomical and their reps were very pushy. So, I went online to find the security provider that was supposedly the best one out there at the moment. Slomin's Alarm Systems was further down from that company and I’ve not heard really great things about ADT in my area, but I decided to give Slomin's a try.
I went on the website and called Slomin's, and the girl I talked to was real nice, and I set up an appointment for the sales person to come in. But the only issue I had was that Slomin's advertised a certain amount on the website, but once the sales guy got there, the price was totally different. I hate it when companies do that and that made me a little leery in the very beginning. But he was such a nice salesman and he said that he was really sorry, and I decided to go with Slomin's anyway because he was so honest about the matter and everybody else was charging $1,800. After that, I was fine and I’m glad I went with them.
Slomin's put in our alarm system in February or March. The tech and installers that they sent out were great guys and did their job. It took them a couple of months to have the new cameras installed but it was worth the wait. The tech was a nice, polite guy who stayed till after 6:00 at night to put the cameras in so that he did not have to come back the next day since I'm quite far from them, and I couldn’t ask for anybody better.
It was very easy to learn and get used to the system. I’ve never had an alarm system before, so for people like me it’s so hard to get used to an alarm system so quickly, but that was not so for Slomin's alarm system. We’re still getting used, though, to using the cameras. After the installation, it was funny because a little blue cloud came across the phone. I rolled down my screen and a notification said that the camera had sensed something. I put the camera on and saw four kids in my swimming pool. They’re allowed to come over and the camera sensed them coming down the walkway and into the pool, and I was watching them while I was at work and that's pretty cool. The other night, I saw that the kids had left all the pool lights on so I went out and shut them off. Those new cameras are awesome.
The alarm also goes off when I forget to use the garage door when going inside the house and I go through the back door instead. When that happens, we run for the remote button that's like a little fob that sets and shuts the alarm, and it's fantastic, and I don't even use the keypad on the wall. I can even turn the alarm off from work on the phone. I've had a very good experience with Slomin's and I really enjoy their alarm system. Everything works well and is so wonderful.

Kim, thanks for the feedback and review!

Love The way I can turn it on and off from my iPhone. My family feels safe at night when sleeping and so do I. We went to the Beach the other day out of town and had no worries about our Home. So many things go on in the news nowadays you would be wrong not to have a Alarm System in your home. Can't wait for my cameras to be installed. They are able to live viewing and cloud storage with motion detection and notifications. So excited to have and be able to check when packages are delivered. Slomins is the Best.

We have been with Slomins for less than 6 months and I have to say that Petro was right when they said that "they are sorry we are moving to company whose service is bad". First. We tried logging in on the online account. Every time we do so we always end up calling support because there is always an error. Once logged in I noticed that the account automatically logs you out when you click on the button "My Account". It does not make sense that after logging in - it logs you right out. Why even put the action button there after one is logged in? I find it Inconvenient and useless.
Second - Online Billing and invoice. The Online account summary is confusing - see screenshot. I do not even want to mention invoices. I called customer service - Nicole and inquired about this or asked her to explain it to me - My only question was "What is the current payment due and why does it show that?" She said she did not see it in her system - and insisted upon that answer. I told her that it was misleading and confusing then and asked her to look into it - she still said she cannot see it and even assured me I do not need to pay anything.
I asked for a supervisor because I am already annoyed, She put me on hold and it was still her on the phone. She then explained to me about the budget plan I signed up for - which I am well aware about and told me that I did not pay in June!!! Check the image... I paid in June!. All I needed from the get go is to answer why it shows as such on the statement - of course now I get what that current amount due was about - but only after she insisted (4 Time) she does not see it in her system.. Bad customer service - wasted an hour of my day. She even said that I do not even have to pay ---ugh... It would have been a lot better if she just looked into it first and simply just said, "You missed the July Budget plan payment and you need to pay for the August as well." THAT SIMPLE!

I had ADT before but Slomin’s provided a better rate so I switched and used Slomin's for 10 years in my old house. Now, I moved in a different city, in a condo in a gated community with a 24-hour security guy, and I still have them. I still wanted them because I trust them so much. The installation was awesome and the guy was very helpful. I have the digital lock at my door so he showed me how to do it. Also, I am really happy that I can put the alarm on and off with my phone, which is an awesome option. Slomin's is great and I'm really happy with them.

I contact Slomins home security for service on August 6, 2017 and met with the salesman about their services. In the end I signed a 5 year agreement not a 3 year agreement as quoted. There was a install date of Aug 9 2017 set for after 2pm. I took a 1/2 off work so someone was home for their tech. At 430pm I called my salesman to get a response of, "You didnt meet the credit qualifications so there isn't any install". I was like what... I called their so called customer service only to get hung up on once by a lady, I was prevented to speak to a supervisor by some man on my second call and on my third call I finally got a lady named... to help get through to Brendand a supervisor who could only apologize and said he'd refund my 96.00 ASAP which translates to 3 to 5 days.
Why didnt I get a phone call when they knew I had been declined since they knew on Monday if not before. So in the end I lost 500.00 = 1/2 of work and extra fuel to meet their rep plus the $96.00 which I gave them at the 1st meeting... Please stay away from this company... Maybe this will help someone or me somehow... Just discovered they didnt put a order number on this receipt I have.

I have tried reaching Slomins by phone and by letter and have gotten no response regarding my senior mother's security account. Over a year ago she attempted to upgrade her system and the service people that came out to the home were unable to activate the desired services, specifically video cameras. Over the course of the next six months or more of trying to work with Slomins, they advised her to purchase a new modem, to purchase other equipment in order to have the system work properly, and eventually, they just failed to respond to her. When she didn't try to deal with Slomins customer service, she got nowhere.
About three months ago, after alerting Slomins that she was going to discontinue their services, they began threatening her with the fact that she was in a contract. She explain to them that her contract was based on installation of working equipment, which they failed to do. The representatives speak came irate with her telling her only that she would be charge for the remainder of her contract. As a senior she and her senior partner need an active working security system and were not provided with one through Slomins to the extent that they requested and attempted to upgrade to. They disabled their system and asked Slomins to come pick up the equipment, which they never did. However, they have continued to receive billing not only with charges for the remaining period of the contract at $1300, but with new charges, suggesting that Slomins believes they are still monitoring their home.
I am concerned about what Slomins is doing, and I'm concerned that we have not been able to resolve this issue in a period of at least four months since the original letter was sent and over here in a half since the original request to upgrade their products in the home, which was never successfully completed. I would appreciate contact back so this matter can be closed. Thank you.

I have Slomins Alarm Systems since May. Their price was more reasonable than everybody else out there so I went with them. Installing the security device was great. The technician explained everything to me. I like the screen where it tells me that the door is open or closed. It’s touchscreen and it also tells the weather. But I thought I was going to get the door panel which comes with the little numbers and can be unlocked with my phone on the door knob. They told me I didn’t get that because I had the camera and I got confused with that. Also, I was having technical issues with my security system and it frustrated me.
Some of the people from Slomins didn’t listen and try to understand the customer. They didn’t have a timeframe and just have an open appointment for that day for somebody to come. Like when somebody has to come out to fix something, it would be from 8:00 all the way to 5:00. I wouldn’t know when they’re going to come. Since I work, I usually have to get a day off so I could be there when the person comes. Also on weekends, there’s nobody who can come out. So, if I have an issue with my security system and they’d say, “Well, Monday we’ll come,” then I'm left with my arms tied wrapped around because I’m going to have to call off from work so somebody could be at my house and they could come by.
In other companies, you could tell them, “You know what? I work till 6:00.” And they’d tell you, “Okay. We could have somebody come in between 6:00 and 8:00.” But with Slomins, it’s not that way. And I should have looked more into that. I wouldn’t recommend Slomins to my friends because all of them work and they have the same issue as mine. They wouldn’t be able to be at home if somebody has to come by for the security system. And if they’re having technical issues, that’s going to bother them.

We had a dog for many years affecting how we used the security system. In some ways, the dog not only replaced what the security system was made to do, but the nature of animals are that when left to themselves, they will find ways to trigger the system. We used our security system, but not very effectively. With the dog gone, I felt it was time to re-adjust so that we could effectively use the monitor security system in light of our present situation. I suspected that the industry had changed a lot since my last update. This turned out to be a huge understatement. The industry is completely different! The agent went over my options, the technician updated the system and patiently went over its effective use (including reminding me about long-standing features I had forgotten). It was obvious that the technician anticipated my needs, setting up the system the way I wanted even before I told him. I have been using my security system effectively ever since.

Joseph, we are glad Slomin's can give you the comfort needed in home security!

Highly dissatisfied! Before installation it was noted that we currently have the ADT Safewatch 3000 system. The technician who worked on adding sensors to our system was unfamiliar with our system. After over 8 hours, our installation wasn't halfway completed. My complaint isn't with the technician sent who was very apologetic, it was with Slomins Shield who didn't make sure and send out a tech familiar with the system!

System installed in 2013, all windows & doors and 1 interior live camera (did not have recorded camera as an option), and later added the text notifications. I hate the fact that you can't get pricing for anything online, you need to have a salesman visit. But that being said the salesman was very nice. Had to have 2 windows rewired as the installer stapled right through the wires ruining the connection (being woken up at 2 am in a panic from the alarm blasting afraid someone is in your house, realizing the zone set off is your youngest kid's room and freaking out!!!).
ISSUES SINCE INSTALLATION: the camera worked maybe 25% of the time. I believe the camera is fine, but the wiring they use for the camera is crap, have to wiggle and shake the wire to get a connection, which would be temporary. I've given up, hasn't been used for about 2 years as there is never a connection. The alarm pad buttons seem to get worn out very quickly. To the point you are frantically pressing so hard to get it to register before the alarm goes off. So we've stopped using the regular alarm now too for over a year. I'm basically just waiting for my 5 years to be up and I will be canceling. When their equipment works, it's a good service.
Oh and last issue. I signed a 5 yr contract with a monthly amount per the contract. That amount goes up annually, it's not a locked in rate which I wasn't aware of. And why didn't I get anything fixed or replaced? Because I would need to pay for it as well as take a day off of work. I feel like faulty equipment should be covered, not something I should pay for again.

Sales was great, Stanley met all needs and exceeded expectations. He was friendly and provided just the right amount of sales and support. Greg the installer for the first part was fabulous. He was clean and courteous and was organized and respectful of my home while he installed. Customer service can not give me an arrival date for the cameras and rest of the equipment I ordered.
Corporate should not be selling and billing for equipment that they can not provide an arrival date or an install date for. When selling new products corporate should be able to provide accurate timelines. Huge disconnect with corporate and the customer. Please note on the stars below the headers above stars and the sentence to describe below the stars do not correlate. So again I'll reiterate that the Salesman Stanley and the install tech Greg were phenomenal.

The cameras are horrible. They don't record people, I see leaves and lights at all hours of the night. When people come to the door or when I leave the cameras don't work. I don't feel safe that if a stranger came to the door that the camera would even work. I never receive alerts?? That doesn't work or is not an option. I was told I would get the camera I saw on the website. Not true. Again the salesperson lied to me and I should have known better when they did this to me when I moved but decided to give them a second chance. Cameras go out, record clips randomly and I am blown off when I call. This is insane from a security company.
Don't feel secure at all. I made my friend get this whole system and she is having all the same problems.

Be aware hidden fees that they will charge you in the future and their reason is that it is in the contract and they will not even invoice you. And be aware when you sign a contract from an agent who will promise you that he will add extra sensor with no extra charge. Be aware you will see it after two months. When they have a problem with the equipment be aware it takes too long to take action. I should have never change from Petro to Slomins. Installation is so expensive it will charge you $105 per sensor.

We have been Slomins customers for over 18 years now, and had no issues with them until we tried to cancel services in February. It is now 6/27, and the account is still charging, and no one will cancel the account. We have called numerous times, each and every time the person answering the phone states they will transfer us to "cancellation department", and we never get there. We are always brought back to the same person who "cannot help" with cancellation. They state someone will call us back. Over a week later, we had a call from them, but it was 1030 am and no one was home. Called AGAIN today to cancel, representative on the phone tried to transfer my call to cancellation department... and they were not there. How does one cancel this account??!! Meanwhile, Slomins is still charging us, how can this be this difficult?

Needless to say I was FURIOUS! I took a day off from work because Slomins was coming between 1-5 pm. Mario shows up at 7 pm! I had to call Slomins at 4:45 pm to find out where crew member was. He is running late. Slomins couldn't call to tell me. I had to call! He gets here no SD card for camera. SERIOUSLY!! Everyone told me drop Slomins. Oh no I've used this company for almost 20 yrs. Mario was wonderful though... I just called to have camera installed - we don't have them in yet!!! This was a very POOR experience for a 20 yr customer!!!

We weren't pleased with the home security provider we had before. Our town is very strict with the permit but the provider never told us to file for that so we didn’t have one and they didn’t do it for us. We ended up ending our contract with them. And when my husband read Slomin's reviews on the internet and the people had a lot of good experience with their system, we decided to use them. Installing it was pretty easy. The person who came was very good, was very patient and he told us what he did. When I called their customer service to ask a question, it has been pleasant as well.
I like the unit, the large buttons, the clearness of the directions and the fact that it talks to us. So if we forget what button to press, we can always figure out how to do it again. It’s like a nice computer. Unlike the other system we had which was much smaller and was very annoying. We’d had a lot of problems with it going off all hours of the night and there was some kind of electrical problem and it’s a nuisance. Slomin's is much better. We know how to operate the system and it seems pretty easy. It gives us more peace of mind and an added feeling of security knowing that the house is protected if we were to go away on vacation and nobody was going to be here. And it's good that our cat hasn't set off the alarm when we leave. Slomin's service has been excellent and the product has been working very well so far. We’re very happy with our purchase and we hope it continues on from this point.

I’ve been very pleased with Slomin's service in the nearly 14 years that I've had them. They were offering free installation then and the people who I spoke with at the home trade fair were helpful. Installing the security device was very easy and the team was very friendly. A year ago, I started looking at upgrading my system and they had representative come but wasn’t able to offer me what I was looking for. The cost would have been too much to upgrade. I looked at other alarm companies and had an appointment set up with ADT whose customer service is horrible. I had to ask them to send me an email that would give me a clear idea of what the cost would be for the upgrade and they never sent me the email. They also charged about $90 just to set up an appointment. I had to cancel that but had to do it three times before it went through their system.
So then, I called Slomin's back and asked if they had anything new. They sent a nice guy over to my house and he was really helpful. Also, the upgrade was a lot less money than it was a year ago. It’s really easy with the digital system and I’m happy with Slomin's. They are a local company to Long Island and people who work there are all Long Island people. I’d rather do a local company than a large national company like ADT.

The system was easy to install and everyone was wonderful. They took care of all my questions and every need. I moved to Jersey in February and I went right back with them for the security system because I had the same type of experience in Philadelphia when I had them. I moved to a safer place but I still wanted their system because I have a nephew that's on drugs and I need to monitor the system for when he comes and goes.
Slomin's was nice enough to accommodate my needs without saying anything to anybody in the house. They kept everything low key. On the other hand, I was confused about the latest system that's working for a special need that I had and I thought it wasn't working properly so I called the other day. They called me back and they were accommodating. The rep that I talked to didn't understand what I was saying so I guess it was a little frustrating for her. Maybe I didn't understand the system when they installed it and I thought it worked a certain way when they showed me. But then when I went back in, I'd seen that it worked in a different way.

As soon as we bought the house seven years ago, we signed up with Slomin's. The previous homeowner had a security system installed and Slomin's was able to use what they had and just started over with a new contract. They checked everything during the installation. We've had technicians before and they were good. When we first started, it was only the standard doors and windows. A month ago, we upgraded to the digital touchscreen, the wireless one and that's a new feature we really enjoy. We can also access it through our cellphones. It's convenient when you run out of the house and forget to turn the alarm on. At least, you can check and see if you did or didn't do it.
The Slomin's app on my phone is very user-friendly. It's pretty simple when you arm or disarm the system. But, it’s the waiting to make everything happen every time for a minute. We definitely felt much safer knowing that the system is there. There have been instances when it randomly goes off and that's a little startling in the middle of the night when you think maybe there's an intruder. However, we know that a glitch might happen with all systems every now and then. Slomin’s customer service reps were good. But, the last time we had issues with the windows and we were troubleshooting it, we had three technicians come back and forth and try to fix it. It's an inconvenience until they finally got it fixed. Other than that, it's been very good experience in general.

I had the device installed five years ago because I wanted to feel safe in the house, and Slomins did the job. In fact, they did more than they even said they would do because it was a harder job than they expected, but they didn't charge me more. They just included it and I've been with them ever since. I feel that they're very good and I'm very satisfied with their services so far. Their sales and service people are all very efficient, nice, and polite. It's very easy to deal with them. They do what they say they will, and they tell me what the prices of everything are very fairly. Also, they give me an upgrade every five years.
As for the alarm, it goes off like an earthquake. I leave it on when I'm home and I feel safe. When it gets set off by mistake or for some reason that we don't know, we call Slomins and their team members are right on it. The police comes as well in a minute or two. The only time that there was a lag was when it was Sandy because 7000 people were down. And I was very scared in the house because there was no alarm. After the first day or two, the battery backup saved. And I even have a new system now that you can cut the phone line and shut it down. It's very awesome. Aside from the alarm, they're very competitive with their oil prices, too. So to me, Slomins is a very good company.

Slomins resolved my issue and I have an appointment to complete my installation this week. I am pleased that they took my concerns seriously.
Original Review: March 11, 2017
I convinced my family to switch to Slomins based on the experience I had with Slomins for my apartment a few years ago. Initially Slomins canceled the appointment date that I requested without confirmation or enough notice to reschedule. After several emails I was able to get a convenient date for the install. The installer was very good but I was told that the camera I requested would not be installed because they are on backorder (the camera and a recent incident that would have been caught on video were the primary reasons I was prompted to get Slomins for my home).
I was told that the camera is part of a promotion and free so I do not qualify for a temporary discount until the camera becomes available; I was not given a date for their availability. It's also inconvenient to schedule another appointment once the camera becomes available.

I had an system from two other companies but like when my old company desired to increase the rate I made a decision to switch to Slomins. Trust me it's not worth your time or money. They sell a system which is not going to work and 100% guaranteed to fail. In three month I had to call 6 times for service and every time a new problem comes up. When you call them they tell you that they do not make the product but only servicing it, but did not I buy your service? Note you will not get the same day service and not even a next day, it will be based on technician availability and service hours are M-F, no weekend, however you will get a 6 hour window, it does not matter what if you pick morning or afternoon you will have to take time from work. And yes all this time you will not have working security systems, if you think you will save money with Slomins think again. It's not worth it.

I have a proposal in writing from Mr. ** that I have to pay for the extra keypad and the 2 smoke detectors are free. I got a bill now to pay for 2 x 216.50 for a equipment fee of total $433. I do not see a separate listing of the equipment charges, so I'm guessing somehow the contract is set up wrong and I'm being charged for something that was supposed to be free. I have been calling Mr. ** since two days, since the main office customer service agents are telling this is between him and me and not their problem. So I feel pretty much left alone with my wrongful charges now, since I do not know who to turn to. I still have the written proposal here at home. I would very much appreciate help in this matter. Mr. ** was very friendly, professional, so I don't understand why is not calling me back or his office number is busy all day.

I install telephone systems and Slomin's is a customer of mine. I have many choices but I might as well use somebody that uses me. I used them first for my oil and heating services when I bought my home three years ago, and I was happy with that. I reached out to a friend of mine at Slomin's and told them that I'd be interested in adding the alarm with my oil.

A Slomins salesperson was walking in my neighborhood and approached me when I was getting my mail asking if I would want a fixed price for home heating oil at a set price. I then told him "I'm not interested and my dad owns this home and I rent from him so my dad takes care of getting oil." Salesman then said he could just write me up a fixed price for oil and show my dad and see if my dad would be interested. So me feeling bad for the guy I said "ok". He showed me the paper and I had to sign it to lock me in to the price per gallon of oil. Of course my dad wanted nothing to do with it so I thought nothing of it. Skip ahead 2 weeks I'm standing in my kitchen and a Slomins oil truck pulls up to my house to deliver oil.
He never came to the door so I ran outside and yelled "excuse me what are you doing". He says "delivering oil. You are a new customer." I said "I don't know where you got that information but I never contacted Slomins about becoming their customer." He says "oh ok. So you are refusing the oil delivery?" I said "yes that's right." He gets in his truck and I precede to call Slomins and ask why they are trying to deliver oil. Lady then says to me because I signed a contract. I said "I absolutely did not sign a contract. I only signed a fixed price agreement." She then said no I signed a contract and that if I wanted to cancel I would need to pay a $500 cancellation fee. I then proceeded to curse this woman out because they were definitely trying to scam me. I told her "the salesman did not say it was a contract. He only said a fixed price. So you are scammers and my dad is a lawyer and she will be hearing from his law firm" and I hung up on her.
Not 10 seconds later she called me back and said she was very sorry and I was right and that I wouldn't have to pay cancellation fee. So ok all that is fine BUT I am baffled by the fact this salesman and Slomins themselves literally tried to scam me and if I was not home to stop this man from delivering oil I bet that that delivery of oil would of locked me into a contract. Unbelievable so I want everyone to be aware of what you're signing from Slomins. I read the paper I signed but what it read was a fixed price guarantee but they worded this paper in such a way to make me think I was signing a fixed price for oil when I was actually signing a contract with them...BEWARE OF SLOMINS. THEY ARE SCAMMERS.

I'm an electrician by trade. 25 years ago when I moved out here to New Jersey, being from Brooklyn, I put up a local alarm system in my home. Over the years, we stopped using it because we live in Somerville, New Jersey. Someone forced their way into the house and I wasn't using the alarm at the time. I had been hoping that Slomin's truck would go by and sure enough, I'm working in my garage and the guy was canvassing. He came up to me and his supervisor pulls up, we did a quick walk-through of the house and I signed up. I always had my eye on ADT and Slomins but I liked Slomins' whole arrangement. They had a free equipment and also, I paid three months upfront and I won't get a bill for four months. That was pretty nice.
My wife is from Staten Island, and the installer was Anthony from Staten Island, New York so we immediately got along really well. The installation was really nice. The guy was personable and a dog person. We have an 80-pound Hound dog named Bella and we had to set the alarm to not see her. He used a pair of wires that I had where my keypad was. So we took my keypad out, he put his keypad over it. The wires were right there, we went in the basement, hooked them up, plugged it in and that went beautifully. He was standing to the side wall, I was punching in codes and he is calling out the screens as if he was standing in front of the thing. He was very knowledgeable about the equipment, in no hurry to run away, and explained everything really clearly. I'm very impressed.
I feel a lot better leaving the house now, knowing that the alarm is there. I used to be setting the alarm all the time when I leave the house but now, everybody is getting used to using it. So once in a while we I get home, I have to turn it off. But most of the time when I get home, my wife or my daughter is already home. Last week, my daughter set off the alarm and nobody called me. So I called and I found out she got to the keypad rather quickly. She shut it off within a reasonable amount of time and they didn't even get a signal. But if something happens, I'm going to get a phone call to tell me that something is going on. In addition, if someone forces you to turn off the alarm, you punch in ** which will turn off the alarm, but it immediately sends the police which is really cool and I have recommended them to all the people.

A nice sales guy put in the request for new services at my home for the alarm system. The technician did not properly hooked up the system. He had to come back which inconvenienced me because I had to stop what I was doing and go back home. After days of having the service I noticed that after arming the system I would come home and the system did not go off or alert. It still showed that the home was being armed. The second time I called the customer service just to get an unempathetic specialist who in a nutshell told me that it was user error and ran tests.
Today I come home and again the system did not go off but clearly shows on because it asks me to disarm. This time I contacted customer service again without touching the alarm so that they can see it's not user error. Either the technician did not have a clue of how to properly hook up the system or the system is clearly failing me and my family. The associate was able to see that it was not user error and placed me on hold to schedule a tech appt and the call disconnects.

Slomins offered cameras at the time of sale, which is what I wanted. They did not tell me until installation that the cameras only worked 30 feet, later they offered to install the kind of cameras I needed for over 2000 dollars. I took the cameras that worked for 30 feet and had another company install the kind I needed when I first called Slomins. Slomins staff did try to work with me and all the installers, salesmen and customer service people are very nice and hard working. The policies of the company should be rethought, though.
Original Review: Dec. 30, 2016
While the installer was great, hard working and professional, I am concerned. I feel I was given an installation date before Christmas only after I complained, even though I only said yes to the whole package because I needed outside cameras. Even though I called to confirm and I was told he was on his way, I got an expected call to say there was a problem with his truck. I said I needed someone before Christmas and it seemed they finally sent someone but never had it scheduled. It was too dark for installing outside cameras.
Bottom line, when I came home from Christmas neighbors told by the police to stay away from my property were parked right outside my door. They walked their dog near my new fence all weekend and an old rusty sewer cap was left on my lawn right where they parked. I specifically said I needed cameras for the perimeter of my property (about an acre). When I made the arrangement for the second installation of cameras I was told cameras don't record motion far enough for what I want. That is not what I was told when I bought the package, and it also depends on where the cameras were placed, 3 or 4 very good cameras well placed would do the job.
I only wanted and desperately needed cameras for outside and now I have to wait until Jan 5 to find out if they will a) send enough and b) be quality cameras that actually record when motion is detected. Funny my neighbors in question bought their own camera that takes pictures of me right outside my door, not their own property, but Slomins' security has never heard of such cameras? They need to do research and buy 4 by Jan 5 or they will be in court for coercing me into a 5 year contract for a service that is not what I asked for. Again, the installer and salesmen were great, but I am suspicious already, and I have neighbors told by the police to stay away filming me and walking and vandalizing all over my property.

I love you guys. I've never had a problem and your technicians (especially Chris) have always been helpful and knowledgeable. I also have your service in North Babylon, NY and have recommended your company to all my friends. Again your customer service is outstanding.

Maria thank you for your feedback.

I called in mid Dec to schedule installation on 12/23. The rep asked me if I wanted 9am to 1pm or 1pm to 5pm and I picked the early time slot. On that day, I took half a day off from work to get the installation done but no one showed up before 1. I called in Slomins around 12:30 and the rep said the technician should come to my home next then I waited. At 2:30, I called again and the rep told me the guy was at lunch. I received a text at 2:50pm saying technician was en route to my home so I waited again. At 4pm, I called again and the rep told me the same BS AGAIN! The technician ended up coming at 4:15pm and I had to miss a whole day of work!!
What got me so upset and pissed off was the 3 reps I spoke to, they tried to sound pleasant but they were all very unprofessional. One rep even said I didn't confirm the 9-1pm time slot when I knew I did. It seems like Slomins does not value my time and the reps are very disrespectful. I actually referred 3 of my friends to join Slomins recently and I will definitely tell them my story and tell them to join other security company instead. Terrible and irresponsible!

Ting, sorry to hear about your experience and will be in contact with you in regards to this issue.

My mom has been with Slomin's for well over 7 years. Last year she had called them because she was having troubles with her keypad, she was told that she was able to get a "free upgrade" for her equipment. She was not made aware of the "obligations" that were involved with that "free upgrade" that locked her into a 5 year contract! Her house was currently on the market to be sold, which my mom made aware to the installer, yet she was still tricked into those "obligations". She called to cancel her service on December 9, 2016 because he house was sold and settlement was made on December 16, 2016.
She received a letter dated December 13, 2016 saying that she owes $783.84! Your company is a joke and completely horrible for taking advantage of a woman that clearly has her house on the market to lock her into a 5 year contract! I am going to leave reviews everywhere possible warning people of the lack of information that your company does to consumers to lock them into a contract.

Our alarm went off when my in laws were house sitting. The company called and code word was given. They even helped my mother in law reset the alarm. They then still sent police which in our county is a $100 fine for false alarm. Have called customer service 3 times and have not received call back. Called again tonight to try to rectify and was very rudely spoken to by "Doug". They are calling my mother in law a liar. Unknowingly as others have stated they locked us into a 5 year contract (didn't realize until we tried to cancel). I do not recommend, stay away from Slomins!!!

This process was pretty quick and painless. The Slomins tech was very knowledgeable and friendly; he really knew what he was doing. In addition to upgrading the monitoring, we also got a brand new keypad which is very easy to use. And my monthly payment did not even go up as a result!

Andrew, thank you for the feedback.

On sat 12/17/16 I called in for help with a Problem. The young man I spoke to was no help at all. I did not get his name... but he was rude. And he did not know his job or how to speak to a customer... I called back later in the day and spoke to a young lady named Allison who not only solved the problem over the phone but was very pleasant to talk to. And then she called me back today to follow up. She should be commended for doing a great job in customer service.

Joseph, thank you for the positive feedback and we appreciate your response!

Been with Slomin's nearly 20 years. Recently agreed to renew contract after ADT approached us. Do not feel we were provided what we agreed to & even gave them opportunity to address the issue. To date (Dec 19) no effort has been made - a shame.

Mark, we will be in contact with you about the issue you are having.

Had Slomins alarm system since 1999 with no problems. House was recently broken in and alarm was activated. Local sheriff deputies came and the 2 intruders told deputies that they owned the house so, would you believe without asking for proof the deputies left and intruders ransacked my home? Slomins monitoring did no follow up and refuses to give me any details of alarm activity, actually told me I must subpoena any information I require which has made my life very difficult. Useless system in real life so have cancelled and installed a new system with cameras.

Our service technician was terrific. Ours was a big job, recently had all of our windows and doors replaced and he had to replace all of the sensors plus install two smoke detectors. He worked constantly the entire time, was here for at least eight hours. I was so impressed I called into the office so that his supervisors would know just how great and thorough he was!
