    After being with Slomins for 10 years, our alarm started loudly beeping in my house every 3 to 4 hours round the clock. I kept calling them and nothing they suggested worked. The soonest service call they offered me was 10 days away. Really? By the 2nd day, I was on the phone literally crying to them for an emergency call as I hadn't slept in two nights with all the beeping. Turns out this was Saturday and I was told they had no technicians on call on the weekend.

    Stay AWAY!

    My experience with the alarm system itself was great. We have had for 2 1/2 yrs now. My issues start with trying to cancel my services. I called to cancel and was told that there was a cancellation fee cause I was locked into a 5 yr contract. I questioned the 5 yr contract and was told that is the standard contract when they provide you with an alarm system. This was not a Slomin installed system. It was an ADT system, Slomin simply replaced the ADT keypad out with a Slomin keypad. That was it. No other equipment was used or installed, it was system take over from previous company with compatible equipment.

    So now I am in a standstill while Slomin attempts to get the archived paperwork that shows they gave me a complete installment for a 5 yr contract. Either way this feels like it will be a process as the customer rep was insisting to me that the keypad "contains the computer and alarm system parts that make it a completely new installed system by Slomin."

    The gentleman who came to update the system was efficient and extremely knowledgeable about the system. My husband and I appreciated this very much. An excellent 'face' of the company. The system has worked well so far but we did have an issue last night when it started beeping because the phone line went off and this was a little odd as it is no longer associated with the phone line. Other than that, excellent.

    We recently got construction done on our home and needed our alarm reinstalled. Not only did the company refuse to install our old system but asked us to pay $700 for new equipment and reinstallation since our contract wasn't expired yet. When asked if it would have made a difference if we told them about it before the construction I was told no we would still have to pay for it. Meanwhile new customers and renewing customers get free installation. When I asked if I was getting any other options the reply was no. Way to treat existing customers Slomins!

    I'm very disappointed with the whole experience. First of all, after making an appointment online, no one had contacted me, to tell me that we are confirmed. Only a day before my appointment I received a confirmation email from the sales person. Then on the day of the appointment a received a phone call from the salesperson, stating that he will be about 2 hrs late. It was ok with me since it was a Saturday and I was not working. The salesperson scheduled security system installation and told me that someone will come on a Wednesday between 9-1 pm.

    I had cleared my schedule and was patiently waiting until 11 am, when I called the Slomins. At that time I was told that I was a second stop and the technician should be there shortly. However no one had showed up at 1:30. I had to go to work and had my wife to return home, hoping that someone will show up. I spoke to my wife at 3 pm and she told me that there was no technician at the house. When I called the company I was told that this things happen, and they will let me know when tech will be on his way. This is so inconsiderate of my schedule.

    Then I called the company again willing to speak to a supervise, after being at work and holding for 10 minutes I hung up. After being played all day, I finally called cancelled my order. I don't want to be with a company who does care about the clients, from the very beginning there were issues. I'm very disappointed that there are companies that run business like this.

    Install was 10/17. I would give the installer a 10 on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest but as of 11/4, I still do not have the outdoor sign although I called twice. I don't know why it isn't given the day of the installation. The sign is immediate notice of an alarm system on premises and a big part of the protection.

    This is the worst system of all the alarms had with Slomins. The sound is not as loud as prior systems. There are way too many steps to activate the alarm, perhaps this may be a programming issue. Because the sound is extremely low if triggered, safety feels jeopardized. Not happy at all with new wireless system.

    Absolutely resolved by a gentleman who called from Slomins. Some adjustment to my bill, and that will cover my aggravation finding a site to dispose of material that cannot go into the regular garbage, and that should have been removed by the installing technician.

    Original Review: Oct. 29, 2016

    First had sales fellow in to go over upgrade to system that was last updated in perhaps 2007. That went fine. Set up contract (5 yr) in return for "free upgrade" that was to include a new master box in basement + 2 upstairs control panels. Technician came on time. He said he was there to change a battery out. Period. He said this is what was on his work order on his tablet. I said, "no there is a bigger change out due" (as above). He said no. I said, "call whomever you need to to get this clarified." That took a bit. I had to go outside (he was parked in our garage) to push the conversation he was having, which still seemed to be stuck on changing out the battery. At that point I had already shown him the papers I signed for the 5 year contract and more extensive change out. We were at a standstill until I made it clear that if they (meaning Slomins) could not get their act together, I would be fine with going with another vendor, effective now.

    The phone conversation continued. In the end, what I had agreed to was done. Slomins: this was far too much aggravation all due to internal communication issues on your business/technician side of things. I should not have had to push and make my alternative options so vigorously clear. Second problem: the technician put the old electronics into my outdoor garbage. Electronics, motherboards, lithium batteries (even if depleted) cannot go into regular landfill. He did not ask me about disposal. He did not offer to take them for proper disposal. This is not socially or environmentally responsible. These things must be properly disposed of. Slomins: you need to get this end of things improved. Why 3 stars: the system was upgraded. Maybe it should be two for the electronics disposal issue and my need to be aggressive, but in the end, the system was upgraded.

    The installation went fine with no problems. However we do have an issue with the bill we received regarding permit fees. Although it states in the agreement that permit fees TBD, we feel that the customers should be told what the fees are so they are aware they will be an additional bill. The agreement was given to us by the sales rep, and we could not read it at that time because it was on an tablet and was unreadable. We did read it later (and we always read agreements before signing them) and did not even notice the line permit fees TBD because there was no dollar amount listed. We feel you need to be more upfront with the additional fees charged. It is not fair to the customer to be asked to pay extra when it is not clear in the agreement.

They were ready to answer all my questions make recommendations but did it the way I wanted it done and made sure I was satisfied. I was impressed. It was late so I didn't get the chance to review all the features because they had to go. So a little rushed in the end.

    While I had a great sales experience, the install didn't quite match the sell. For example, I asked that the ADT equipment be removed as was described in the sell; it was not removed. I had to leave before the install was installed, and asked that detailed instructions be left. I found the instructions lacking, as they don't cover how to activate the app on my phone. When activating the phone app, I was asked for an account number, which was never given to me, and doesn't seem to be available in emails from Slomin's.

    I have Slomins since June. The salesman was great but the installers were a bear to get to come. And then when they came, they had the wrong instructions because the salesman didn’t actually put them on at the right time. And they came at a point where they had to call the headquarters and they couldn’t do the additional stuff they were supposed to do. We had to call again for the fourth time and I had the real estate agent wait all day for them and they didn’t show up. The installation was a big pain and I wasn't satisfied with it. I hope they have their sales and installation team be a little more painless. Otherwise, they’ll lose customers.

    I was hoping that I was qualified for Slomins, so I then called them, and someone came out. Steve and all of their technicians have been awesome people. They installed the system which has a four-digit code word and a password, which they ask for when they call. When I wanted them to check my system, in every part, they acted on it. If I had any questions, there's a number I called and they have recorded them. The system is a great asset and it's very flexible to use. Everyone should have it for protection since there's gonna be strange people nowadays. It also helps since I have a health issue.

    Slomins is an outstanding company and they are very patient and diligent to customers. I have been on and off with them for a number of years because of my living status and I don't know where I'm going to live at next, but I currently have a two to three-year contract with them and I don't wanna breach that. I'm still gonna do what I can to keep that up because I want to use them at my next home. I'm fully satisfied and I'm not leaving them. If it will cost me, I will pay that much. I feel blessed to be a part of their family and would recommend them to anyone. In fact, I call them twice a year to thank them and make them feel good.

    Slomin's Alarm Systems was referred by a friend of mine. I got them last month and it's my first alarm system. There was the good service that I got from the installation to everything else. It was a quick and easy installation. Their guys were in and out in less than an hour. They were really knowledgeable in what they did and explained everything to me. The system's easy to work that a kid could do it.

    My wife, grandchildren and I are making it a habit of turning the system on and off. When we leave, we remember to turn it on and when we're at home, we make sure nobody goes out when the stay alarm is on. We're getting used to something we never had before. Other than that, it's awesome. There have been a lot of home invasions in broad daylight in the area we live in so this system was something we've been meaning to have for a long time.

    A Slomins saleswoman paid me and my family a visit to discuss home heating and then alarm system. What she failed to tell me is that a security deposit MAY be required and I made it VERY AWARE that I was concerned about my credit. I also asked about the inquiry on my credit whether it was hard or soft. She lied and said it was "soft". Well guess what? It's a hard inquiry and my credit that I am working so hard to improve dropped many points! When their customer service department called me this morning they made it out to be like it was MY FAULT and were very rude. I also paid for the first 3 months of service for the alarm system... $120! I want my money back, FYI! The people in the community will know about the experience I have had.

When I called back, they told me that there was no information in the system. Nothing had happened and they didn't even know I was waiting for a call, so there was some communication challenge there. They had to install a new system, and were about four hours late for the installation, but once they were here, installation went pretty well.

    The technician came to install 2 cameras. He cracked my shingle and didn't even say anything. I noticed it when I came home from work, as my mother was here to let him in for the install. It's right in the front of the house. Nothing I can do about it. When I met with the guy about the upgrade I explained that I was having issues with my connection for the air conditioner as well as the remote to turn off the alarm from outside before entry. He said to call-in the issue prior to the install and it would be taken care of and that he would have a new remote for me for the install. The tech tied a knot in the connector to make it shorter - I could have done that. I asked if he was told about it and he said he was. It was like he couldn't be bothered. As for the remote, he left without giving it to me.

    The cameras are fine, even though they don't quite meet my expectations. I have repeatedly asked for wires and batteries and never received them unless I schedule a service call (the bills always arrive promptly in the mail) and I shouldn't have to beg for a remote replacement. Not my best experience as a 12 year customer.

    First of all, Slomins does not always disclose verbally that you are signing a 5-year contract when you inquire and enter into a service agreement with them. You need to be aware that if you sign a contract with them, you may be locking yourself into 5 years of service, and will have to pay exorbitantly high fees to be released from the contract. This to me is absolutely absurd, as so much can change in a 5-year period.

    I have no doubt that Slomins is taking advantage of its customers in this manner, and making large sums of money on fees to break contracts. Not to mention, Slomins has service that is limited when compared to its competitors, like ADT. I will be working to get out of my contract with Slomins and at this point, I certainly do not see myself continuing to use their service or recommending their services to anyone else. I will continue to leave these types or reviews on other review boards, as Slomins customer service department has been less than helpful.

    Customer service called me to inform me of a back door alarm at my residence. I missed the call and called then right back immediately, I asked them to disarm the system because I have pets in the home and the alarm is very loud. The customer service agent was very rude and would not disarm the system and dispatched local PD anyway. When I got home, I found that the alarm sensor on the back door fell off because it was installed with cheap double-sided tape.

    A few weeks later I received a $150 dollar bill from the local PD for a false alarm fee. I called Slomin's again and spoke with a supervisor named Patty who again was unpleasant to deal with and didn't have a care in the world whether or not I remained a customer with them. I figured they would take care of the fine since it was their fault PD was dispatched, not mine. She informed me it will be $1200 dollars to cancel my contact, it's almost worth it to me to pay it and be done with dealing with them. I'm glad I didn't do an oil contract with them because I was seriously considering it.

    The installation went well. The gentleman was efficient and helpful, friendly. He taught us how to use the new system, explained some details, showed us how to reference the manual. My biggest thought is that the system is still about the same as the older one - where I need to put in a code to activate and deactivate. I was hoping for more of an easier way to arm/disarm without the phone app, i.e. a key fob or something.

    I do like the different sounds that each door produces (very helpful!), and I appreciate the fact that it was a relatively easy process to move from wired to wireless. We are pleased with the new system and glad that we had a technician out that reviewed all our connections and tested it for accuracy. We are also pleased that we now have the smoke detector connection which makes us feel more secure.

So if they cut the cord on the phone thing, I’d still have a signal picked up by this radio that they installed. I was hoping it would be the same fee, but that went up $7. They also said that I had to pay $96 because Hamilton Township had some fee, which I don’t understand because I’ve had the alarm from a long time ago. But I paid it.

    I heard that somebody had been broken into and they had security inside their house. So I got paranoid and I've been calling Slomins. That’s when I found out that because I had been with them for so long that we were allowed to have certain amount of windows wired for free. Because other than that, they were charging $99 a window. So we ended up having a lot of the windows done and that way we wanna put the exterior on when we go to bed. I feel a little bit better now, but I don't think there was an immediate threat. We're pretty much locked up and use what we have. It went smoothly and I had no problems.

    Salesman boldly lied and misrepresented the installation and security system's features, capability and performance. Beware of package they sell. Their system is far behind industry standards which is why they keep it a secret. You pay for cameras that cannot see anything after dark, just black screen. They will not let me upgrade to better ones, even if I buy my own (too much data). You cannot automate any appliance or z-wave device despite claims of home automation. You have to open the app and manually turn lights on and off each time. They have you stuck on a 5 year contract and cannot cancel or downgrade to basic monitoring. Useless customer service and support. Stay away.

    My niece referred us to Slomin's Alarms and when they came out, we told them what we wanted and they gave us a price on it. I'm a little disappointed because it doesn't do exactly what I want it to do so we haven't turned it on. We have dogs that go in and out at night so we can't set the alarm at night. Now I'm kind of stuck in a five-year contract. I realize that we armed the areas of the house that we felt were most vulnerable to a break-in. But at the same time, I can’t open a window or open the door at night without coming out here and turning the whole system off and that doesn’t mark really good. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend them.

He told me that they would have someone come to my house between 8 and 10. When no one was at my house by ten I called and was told that someone was finishing up in Wantagh. Later I called again and was told that someone was finishing up in East Meadow and would come when he finished. When he did arrive he told me that he might not be able to finish the job that day.

    With only about 7 months left on my 5-year contract with Slomins, I am finally going to escape from this useless and clueless supplier of poor security services. Wish we had never dealt with this useless vendor. Shortly after having signed with Slomins for security services, the problems began. First the shoddy sensors they install for windows begin failing. Each service visit incurs additional charges of at least $100 when they could easily mail the sensors for pennies and we could install them ourselves. In this way, they lock in their abusive service visit fees. Then their cheap remote control fobs die, for which they want to charge a $100 plus each.

    Then their main control panel seems to fail as well. Guess that would cost at least $500 or more to replace. Now at the end of their worthless service contract, they want to charge for servicing their equipment again. Guess it's more logical to just select their replacement and be ready to replace them as soon as their contract ends. Never again will we deal with this useless vendor. Good riddance!

The installer also came at an unscheduled time. I only left with a paper manual for the control pad, no numbers - nothing. Finally after going online, I was able to email someone. I want out of this contract, but they refuse to let me out. I have to Attorney General to file a complaint. I would not recommend this company.

    Our smoke alarm went off while our son was home alone. Even though he knew the code, there was no intuitive way to enter it on the keypad. Even worse - Slomins apparently did not receive a signal and did not call our house to check, whether to summon the Fire Department. When I called to complain, I was on the wait-loop for over five minutes. When we had ADT, we never had to wait for more than 30 seconds. The system does not differentiate between emergency calls or calls about technical assistance or billing questions.

    The customer service guy I finally talked to was polite and professional. He made me run through a bunch of tests and determined that we need technical service. The next available appointment is in two days, which is good, but he was not able to tell me a time frame for the visit - expecting me to put my work life on hold for an entire day - all because of a faulty installation. Then he said, we would not be charged for the visit as a courtesy. That's unbelievable. They should have had the courtesy to install the system properly to begin with and to give a window of a few hours for their visit. When the alarm is going off, there should be a number, which is answered within a few seconds. My wife is super mad. She wants to go back to ADT.

I wanna be able to do it through the phone with the app, to be able to see who will use which code to get in. With ADT I get an alarm where when somebody opens up the store and gets in, it’ll send me an alert saying, “John just went in at this time,” and stuff like that.

    So I am a new home owner & a new father. Trying to figure a way to protect my family from the cold winters here in NJ & do it in the most cost effective manner. I called Slomin's. My first order of business was to get an alarm system for my home. I then realized that Slomin's also provide oil to heat homes. I figured it would be a good idea to bundle the services together, more convenient & more savings. I signed a yearlong contract for my oil service at what I thought was a good deal. As the year went on, oil prices fell, which really stinks because I was locked in but "oh well" I thought, I knew it was a possibility. As the year went on oil prices continued to fall, so I called Slomin's 2-3 weeks before my contract was set to expire. I explained that I wanted a new quote as my contract was expiring. They quoted me $1.83/gallon. This time I was smarter and I called a local company. They quoted me $1.50/gallon.

    I called Slomin's and advised them I would like to cancel & I did not want any more oil from them, no deliveries! They advised me ok but suggested that I wait to cancel so that I wouldn't be hit with any charges. I think we all know where this is going. They delivered oil to my house on the day my contract expired and filled it to the tippy top. I called to complain. The only thing I got from their "customer service" dept was that they were within their contract rights. Slomin's = Scam. Do not use this company!!!

    We have been a customer with Slomins for over 5 years. I was told when we first went with Slomins that when they upgrade the contract, they give you more equipment. Instead all we got was a replacement keypad and smoke alarm. I was very disappointed with that. We would like to have gotten more equipment for signing another 5 year contract than just them replacing the 2 things.

    I've had Slomins for a month and it's good service. With the advancement of WiFi, it's an improvement from my previous security provider. I had to learn to use the app, which became very handy because if my wife wants to set the alarm before I come home late at night, she can do it and then I can turn it off with my phone. We recently came back from a vacation and I didn't have to wonder who was watching the house for four days. I know they link it with the oil company and I'm concerned that every year we end up changing oil companies. I'm curious to see how much consideration they actually give since they're an alarm and an oil company.

    I've been having problems with my alarm. It goes off the grid and I asked the technician a week ago to come out. He was very nice but obviously not nice enough because they set it up for today and never showed up. Nobody has called. Nobody has done anything and I'm not calling them because I'm kind of pissed. However, besides them not showing up, I like the system. Their service is good and I love the product.

    I signed a 3 year rental contract for a alarm system from Slomins Shield. When signing up I was never asked to present proof of ownership of the property, lease, ID or marriage license. My name was never on the lease but this company approved me for services anyway!!! I no longer live at that address that I then shared with my ex boyfriend. Long story short I called Slomins and told them I no longer live at the address and asked for instruction on how to remove my name off the contract. I was told that all I needed to do was send in a name change form. My now ex boyfriend agreed to sign the name change form. Which he did! Then they said they need me to send a copy of the lease which I don't have because I don't live there!

    My issue is why would they let me put the alarm system in my name without proof that I even lived there then, when I move out and try to do a name change at the same address I have to send in a lease which I don't have access to and never did. They have all the information for the person who lives at the address but continues to harass me for money!!! Now they say even with a lease they can't do a name change because we're not related!!! This company will trick you into signing a contract then Trap you while sending you through hoops to cancel. After telling me that's all they needed to switch it over!!! I can't win for losing with this company. I will never do business with this company again. They will let you in then trap you!!! I plan on getting a lawyer.

    Our installation guy was great, but we were told he would be to us by 10:30am. My fiancé took the day off to make sure she was home and he didn't get there till 2:30. So she lost a full day of work! I don't blame the installation guy. He rocked. The lack of communication to the homeowner was a joke. We called 2x. Lost a day's pay and we needed at least 3 window alarms that we were told by our salesmen that we probably didn't need. This needs to be rectified. I will be calling today about the Windows alarms and they better have some kind of deal. Again our service guy was awesome, efficient, funny and really helpful.

    I had an installer at my home yesterday to do an upgrade of my alarm system that I have had with Slomins for about 7 years. I received a text that the installer was enroute and he arrived a while later. I would have assumed that enroute meant that would arrive very shortly. He arrived and did the upgrade with really no issues. My issue is when I asked him for assistance with the new app for my smartphone. I downloaded it and installed it but I was unable to log in. I told him that I was unable to log in and he told that that it was not his problem and that I had to call customer service.

    Later he was finished with the install and he wanted me to sign off that it was complete and I again told him that I could not log in and he again told me that it was not his problem and to call customer service. Not even an offer to call his own company to help me out. I did sign off and then he points to the floor and there is all the old equipment (keypads, boxes, wires) lying on the floor, and he tells me that it is garbage and walks out. I would think that he should have cleaned up after himself and taken the garbage with him, or at least asked me where my garbage was (I would not have cared if it was thrown in my garbage), but just leaving it on the floor for me to pick up was just wrong.

    I then called customer service for assistance for getting on the app. The agent was able to help me, and honestly it is such a simple fix that the app should give an error, or that the installer should know about. The app will only take a password up to 10 characters. If the error said that we would never had this part of the issue. I also informed the agent of the conduct of the installer. Customer service is the most important part of business. I remember the tech who initially installed my system and he was awesome!

    I had companies come out and tried to explain the security system to me. One was a private company and the other one was ADT. The guy from ADT had no knowledge at all of what he was putting in my house, while the guy from Slomins was a nice gentleman, explained everything and walked me through the process. We felt very comfortable. I asked a lot of questions and he had answers for every question.

    I was present in the beginning of the installation but I had to go out to pick up my son and the guy installing it was done on my way back. He happened to see me turn into my walk, and he turned around and came back to show me how to use the system when he had already showed it to my wife – I don't get that kind of service from others. Also, when I set the alarm up by accident once, they called me within seconds, verified my password and made sure I was okay. All in all, it was a smooth transaction with easy people to deal with and they're very knowledgeable and gave me everything that they said they were going to give me.
