Jeff is great. Shows up on time. Honest. Highly recommended! He installed a central vacuum many years ago and just installed a new one. Always answers my calls. read more

Jeff Silverman did a great job installing our new Central Vac Unit. When we first moved into our home, I wanted someone to look at our system and tell me if it was in good shape. I found Jeff on Yelp and he came to our home, free of charge, to analyze our unit and give me a few tips. He said if the unit stops working, to call him again! After 2 1/2 years, our 30+ year old unit finally conked out and Jeff replaced it with a powerful and quiet unit. Not only did Jeff complete the installation around my schedule, he was clean and pleasant. He took the time to check the entire system and explained how the new system worked. I appreciate all his efforts and great attitude. Our new system has a 10 year warranty and works great. I would highly recommend Alarming Security and Jeff Silverman. read more

Used for central vacuum replacement. The service was on time, professional and our options (unit only vs accessories and wall outlet) explained clearly. read more

Horrible experience from the very beginning. The owner has no tact, is very rude and has poor customer service skills! We had issues with the system from the start. At first he showed up and fixed the issue. The next time it was the night vision where the color would switch to black and white. Then the app stopped working from my phone. I would text him several times with no response. Finally when he got back to me he said there would be a service charge, ok fine, but we could never get him back here! The DVR began making a constant ear deafening noise that only went away by unplugging it. Duh so much for security. Jeff was a no show once, and then months later another no-show. He said the cameras have two year warranty and promised to come back. It appears he is more concerned about new business installs than customer service. Several people have asked if I would refer my camera guy and I said "NO". Over $3000 later he keeps giving us the run around. Now I understand why he asked us to give him a good review from day one because everything went south after the installation. Save yourself the headaches and find someone else. Very unprofessional in addition to subpar and defective equipment. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Unprofessional and overcharges. Avoid at all costs.

How do I describe my experience with Jeff... Absolutely amazing the most professional alarm installer I've ever had the opportunity to deal with it is absolutely incredible as an installer and a professional..I would most definitely recommend him to my friends and family no doubt read more

Our central vacuum system was old and not working properly. Jeff spent 30 minutes on the phone telling me how to check to see what the problem was. After determining that one motor was not running, he offered to fix the unit or replace it. We decided to replace it as it was already a 20 year old unit. He came by that same day, collected a deposit and ordered the new MD unit. The next day he came by and installed it and even threw in a packet of extra bags. His service was very prompt and professional and I would highly recommend him. read more

It is hard to find honest workers and Jeff is one of them. I found him reliable and very reasonable. I would highly recommend Alarming Security read more

This is an ethical and excellent company. I highly recommend them for all of your security needs.

Here's the thing... Alarming Security is mostly a one-man operation. But the one man is owner/operator/installer Jeff Silverman and make no mistake about it, that's the important part. Many companies can come in and hook up some wires, sign you up for monitoring and be out of your life. But Jeff has always been there as sort of a safety net. "Jeff, I forgot how to set a new code." "Jeff, the yellow light is blinking."... Jeff answers his phone, walks you through it and will come take a look at the situation if necessary. Are his prices reasonable? I'm pretty sure they are... I haven't really done that much comparison shopping but, again, that is not the important part. The important part is that when my alarm went off the other day (my house was broken into), Jeff called me (he gets notified by the monitoring company) and we discussed what might have happened and whether to cancel the police response and, because he happened to be working minutes away, actually showed up at my doorstep where we looked around at all the broken glass! (For the record, he probably will NOT show up at your house if it's broken into and he makes no such promises... but that's how it went down with me last week.) Don't get me wrong... there are companies that patrol neighborhoods and will respond to your alarms... but you pay fairly heavily for that service. And it's always a constantly changing bunch of faces. Jeff is Jeff. And next time you call his company, you know who will answer the phone? Jeff. read more

Jeff was very easy to work with. He even attempted to help us over the telephone before he actually came out. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and offered several options to us. read more

Amazing service , fast , friendly and efficient. Called for a broken central vacuum that was 28 years old, Jeff gave me both options of repair and replacement with prices along with recommendation. Within 4 days he was ready with the new vacuum and I had to postpone cause I was out of town. Now I have a very powerful unit with a 10 year warranty. Thank you read more

I had these guys come and upgrade my old alarm system with a new system with camera's. As my wife and kids are now working from home during the day, security has become even more important than before. The work went smooth my wife loves it! read more

Owner Jeff is a perfectionist and knows all the ways to protect your home or business. Won;'t hesitate to refer business his way. read more

This was a "Google" search that worked. Our house vacuum system stopped working and a search gave us only one possibility within 25 miles and it was Alarming Security. From the initial phone conversation and an estimate based on a diagnosis of the problem, Jeff was right on target. He offered two choices, repair or replace and the pros/cons of both. He came out, prepared to do either and determined the motors were no longer working. He installed the new unit in a short time, unattended and we tested it same day. Perfect work, fair pricing. Very happy. Thanks Jeff! read more

After unfortunately having a central vacuum system installed by someone who did not do it properly, dealing with Jeff Silverman was a breath of fresh air. I was referred to Alarming Security by Nutone as I was having issues with the vacuum. Jeff immediately answered the phone and was able to answer my questions. As my issue was more complicated than could be answered completely over the phone, he came right over and consulted. He was very patient and went above and beyond the call of duty. Jeff helped me to actually order parts online and get the best deal possible and said he would be available to assist me in the future. I highly recommend Alarming Security and Jeff Silverman and wish I had used them in the first place. read more

Do NOT USE THIS COMPANY. This guy has major attitude and when things go wrong, and things went very badly wrong with the installation of my central vacuum he blamed the whole thing on my house and my bad wiring. Note that this guy came and charged $98 for what he called a thorough diagnostic of the system only days prior to his installing it and found NOTHING wrong with the ducts nor the wiring only a handful of outlets that he recommended replacing. Based on his diagnostic of the system, I decided to go ahead and replace the 20 year old motor in hopes of getting better suction and for a total of one day the new motor he installed worked perfectly with the exception of one duct that in his "thorough diagnostic" he completely skipped; it happened to be the duct closest to the motor and the only outlet in that room. Two days after he installed the system I began using it and found an outlet that was loose, old and did not work. Hence his "thorough diagnosis" missed this outlet. When he finally came back out at nearly 10 p.m. on a Friday night two days after I notified him of the problem and four days after he had just installed the new system, he told me I had a "major problem" and went on and on emphasizing that it's my problem. He spent about 15 minutes babbling on about how it was my problem until I finally interrupted him to ask how much he planned to charge me to fix "my problem". He said he didn't know. Then he attempted to schedule an appointment to come back, keep it mind it was now after 10 p.m. and I was exhausted and this guy is not short on words and beats around the bush. He finally told me he would have to come back to see how much it would cost me for him to fix "my problem". Ultimately I had to ask him to leave my house because he was so argumentative and so much more concerned with making sure I understood it was "my problem" and how he had nothing to do with it "suddenly" breaking that instant. Whatever he did caused several other outlets which were working shortly before his arrival, to "short out" and either run constantly or not run at all. I have found another company with an excellent reputation and numerous reviews and will not use this guy again and do not recommend anyone else use him either. Note he only has one positive review and it's not for central vacuums which he holds himself out as an expert on an calls himself a "doctor". He made three appointments with me, none of which he showed up to on time. My first yellow flag was when he refused to give me a proposal without my agreeing to pay him $98 for his diagnostic, despite the fact that I had just had the system checked and I knew I wanted a new motor installed. He was late or a no show for all three appointments. When I say late I mean either did not show up that day at all or was more than 6 hours late. The second yellow flag was on the first night he presented me with two options one was to pay his $98 for repeating to me what I had already told him about my then existing system, or option two was to purchase a new system for over $1000 and be credited the $98 but the offer was only good that night on the spot. I ignored the yellow flag and hired him as he was readily available and I was anxious to have my vacuum up and running. His response to all this was that I have a wiring problem that just developed only minutes after he arrived that night and did not exist only days prior to his installing the new system. He couldn't remember for sure yet he insisted that the outlet had been working when he left my house the day of the installation. He even went so far as to claim that I must have rats in my walls who ate the wires. He sells systems over $1000 yet he does not take credit cards, I suspect that is because once he does the install he does not want to run the risk of the customer blocking payment until he makes the system actually work for more than one or two days! He takes checks only and cashes the check immediately. He is a piece of work, do yourself a favor and steer clear of him. read more

My husband & I had a wonderful experience with Jeff owner of Alarming Security of West Hills. He was so professional in analyzing the problem with our intercom. He helped my husband research the problem. Now it is working beautifully. As a businessman he had such professionalism and compassion. We would highly refer Jeff Silverman to anyone who wants an honest and professional opinion to search the problem. He will call back if he is unavailable. Not to many businessmen are reliable, Jeff is the person you want. We were very happy. Arlene Cadish, Agoura Hills read more

Our home was burglarized over the summer and our neighbor referred us to Alarming Security. We called and Jeff Silverman, the owner, came out and gave us a bid for an alarm system and camera's. He gave us such a detailed bid, we were able to understand exactly what he was going to use and the level of quality we were to receive. We got a couple of other bids but we felt Jeff knew exactly what he was talking about and we trusted him completely, especially since his bid prices were not any higher then some of the others. He came and installed exactly what he quoted and explained in depth how to use all of this new equipment. He answers his phone when we call him and is more then happy to come out whenever we have a questions. So happy we feel safe again and so blessed to meet and go with Jeff and Alarming Security. By the way he is licensed and bonded, which many other companies were not. read more
