Okay, my first review of Sterling has GOT to be a glowing one. I'll get into that in a minute…read more What's uncertain, though, is whether my first update months down the line will be as praise-filled. That's because I've only had their alarm system for two days. However, based on my initial experiences, and the interaction with the salesman and installer, I have to seriously tip my hat to Sterling. A few points first off: Sterling is locally owned and operated. It's a Central Ohio company. Unlike so many other security companies, Sterling uses only in-house installers. They do not sub-contract. Furthermore, they own and operate their OWN monitoring service. That means when your alarm goes off, the signal is getting sent right across town to Hilliard, not to New Jersey. And now, the real kicker. Unlike nearly every other monitoring service out there, Sterling STILL calls the cops when your alarm goes off. It's become an industry standard to call the owner first in the event of an alarm, and then ask whether you want the cops called or not. It's an effort to reduce false alarms, or rather, to waive responsibility from the company during false alarms. However, what it serves to do is cause for the crook to get away when you have an actual crime. Not so with Sterling. They don't call to confirm if you want the cops sent, they call to confirm if you shut the alarm off, to confirm a CANCEL! Now for the personal stuff. Sterling, and a particular agent to boot, were recommended to me by my realtor. I did not realize Sterling still called the cops for alarms, so I assumed they operated like the rest of them. As a result, I shopped around for months trying to find a reliable subscription-free alarm system. I couldn't. Fast forward a few months and my house got broken into twice. I called up the salesman and explained the situation. I wanted an alarm, and quick. I was scheduled for a sales consult the following morning, and pushed to the front of the install line because of the nature of the situation (an actual, active problem with crooks), and my install scheduled for Wednesday, just three days after making my initial call. The salesman goes even further and refers me to some contacts of his for things I needed at the house. What amazing service!! It's the same story for the installer. He was very punctual, very friendly, and very helpful. He told me ins and outs of the system, helped me understand things about the install that aren't pertinent to operating the system, but that I wanted to know, and advised on the best possible location for my control panel. Again, he also gave me contact info for an electrician he knows and swears by, and a handyman of whom he spoke very highly. If the alarm performs as well as the employees do, then when I update down the line, it'll be another five-star rating.

All other companies ask for a password to verify who they are talking to, but when we accidently set off the alarm, they would call and we would say all is OK -- never ask for a password or anything. Guess they felt if we reset the alarm, all must be OK. We had them for five years before switching to Time Warner. When we called to cancel they reminded us that we signed a contract that renews every year (not convert to monthly after initial contract term, as other services do), and that we had to pay out our contract to expiration -- AFTER FIVE YEARS! BEWARE -- if you use them, your contract will renew every year, will require a 30 day notice, and you will have only one time during the year to switch if you ever want to.

My project was extremely uncomfortable…read morefor me to outsource because I am usually 'good enough' to get jobs like running wire and setting up equipment, but I am SO glad that I called to get this done and blown away at how much better the professional did this job compared to what I could have done. He handled the full design and installation of a fairly complex residential network for me, including setting up a wireless bridge to an adjacent building using an antenna system. Everything was thoughtfully planned, professionally installed, and clearly explained along the way. What stood out most was the communication and his absolute commitment to get the work done right -- no surprises or hurdles he couldn't quickly overcome, just straightforward recommendations and honest pricing. The system has been solid since installation, and it's clear he takes pride in doing things the right way. If you're on the fence, I'd strongly recommend giving him a call. He brings a level of professionalism and patience that's hard to find, and deliver results.
