DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I have been trying to contact our representative since March, and have…read moretried to contact HSE multiple times with no answer every time. I have been double charged for months and I want to prevent that from happening to anyone else. I would like to formally file a complaint regarding my experience with Home Security Experts, an ADT Authorized Dealer, and specifically Sales Representative Jesse Soltelo (Dealer License #12352). My family originally purchased ADT equipment and monitoring services through Home Security Experts in November 2024. We had no billing issues and were satisfied customers until we moved residences in March 2025. Prior to our move, I contacted Jesse Soltelo to discuss transferring our existing ADT service and equipment to our new residence. During that conversation, I was informed that rather than paying the approximately $200 transfer fee, he would cancel our existing service and enroll us in a new account with new equipment and services at our new address for no cost. Based on those representations, we proceeded with the new installation. On March 20, 2025, I received a DocuSign contract for the new installation. The agreement reflected an installation fee of $99; however, I understood that amount would be waived, and the documentation indicated a balance due of $0. Despite this, we were subsequently charged the $99 installation fee. I immediately contacted Jesse regarding the discrepancy. He acknowledged the issue and informed me that the $99 charge would be refunded. To date, I do not believe we have received that refund. Shortly thereafter, we discovered we were being billed for both the new account and the account associated with our previous residence. I again contacted Jesse and asked whether the prior account had been canceled as promised. Rather than responding via text message, Jesse called me and stated that he was unaware we were still being charged for the previous account. He assured me that he would take care of canceling the old service. When no resolution occurred, I followed up multiple times. After additional conversations, Jesse acknowledged that we should be refunded for the months we had been charged since our move and confirmed both our previous and current addresses. However, despite those assurances, the issue was never resolved. Following those discussions, my messages began going unanswered. Eventually, my text messages no longer appeared to deliver, and I was unable to obtain any further updates regarding the status of our account, cancellation, or refund. As a direct result of these failures: * Our previous account was never properly canceled despite being represented as canceled. * We have continued to incur charges for monitoring services at a residence we no longer occupy. * We were charged for two ADT accounts simultaneously. * We were charged a $99 installation fee that we were told would not be owed. * We have spent significant time attempting to resolve this issue through the salesperson who originally handled our account. * We are now receiving repeated collection and billing calls from ADT regarding the account associated with our previous residence. The most concerning aspect of this situation is that we relied on the representations made by your sales representative. Had we been informed that the original account would remain active or that we would continue to be contractually responsible for both accounts, we would have handled the move and transfer process differently. Instead, we followed the guidance provided by your representative and are now facing months of duplicate charges, ongoing collection activity, and concerns regarding potential damage to our credit due to an account that should have been canceled when we moved. I respectfully request the following: Immediate cancellation of all ADT services associated with our previous residence. A complete investigation into why the prior account was not canceled as represented. A full refund of all monitoring charges incurred on the previous residence after our move date. Review and reimbursement of the $99 installation charge that we were advised would be waived. Written confirmation that any delinquency, collections activity, or negative reporting associated with the prior account will be corrected and will not impact our credit. A written explanation of what occurred internally and why this issue remained unresolved despite multiple communications with your representative. I have retained screenshots of my communications with Jesse Soltelo, call records, and supporting documentation regarding the installation agreement and account activity, which I am prepared to provide upon request. I have been double charged since MARCH OF THIS YEAR. I sent my original email back in May with no response, due to lack of resolution I will now make my family's experience public. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I would give zero stars if possible.

Huge shoutout to The Home Security Experts (HSE) .. Matt and Bryce have been a big part of keeping…read moreour parks running right. They've set up 5 of our properties across Placerville, Auburn, Pollock Pines, Plymouth, and Rancho, with and when we need service, they show up. Period. They answer calls, respond to texts, and understand that I'm not exactly the "wait patiently" type when something needs to get handled ... and every single time, they come through. Their security camera systems are high quality and exactly what we needed and are dialed in positioned exactly where they need to be, with easy access from both our office and our cell phones. That level of setup and functionality makes a huge difference in day-to-day operations. That kind of reliability is hard to find. Good people, solid work, and dependable when it matters. Appreciate you guys Eve ~

Only one other company, which was not locally owned and was more expensive, had the skills and willingness to build and install the type of system I wanted. Alan was fantastic from start to finish. He was responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and very transparent about pricing and monitoring options. There were no high-pressure sales tactics or gimmicks, just honest guidance and quality work. He completed the installation promptly, took the time to teach us how to use the new system, and even checked in afterward to make sure everything was working well. I appreciated his straightforward approach and the quality of the work. I would definitely recommend Watch Dog Security to anyone looking for a reliable local alarm company.

I told him we needed a doorbell/security camera installed, as well as a rooftop satellite dish removed. No problem. A work date was scheduled, and Vince arrived exactly when he said he would. Vince was able to integrate the new doorbell/camera so that it interacted with the existing ringer inside our home, making the transition clean and easy. The camera, as well as our ability to answer the front door from the app on our phone, were done, and everything is working well. The dish removal went quickly, and we no longer have the unsightly dish showing on our roof. Vince's charge for the work was reasonable, and the whole experience was easy enough. Hiring a new contractor for anything always comes with a certain amount of concern, but in this case, all those 5-star reviews were accurate. I highly recommend Vince for any of his services.

John gave me his card and I reached out to him several months later when we moved in. He was really helpful in fine-tuning what I needed or didn't need in my system and explored a bunch of different options for me. Once we had decided on picking out a system, I was reached out to by Theresa and she let me know what the process would be like and what i should expect. On the day of the install, Roddy called me in the morning to let me know he was on the way and what time I should expect him by. He came in looked at the area, and told me how long he would take. Throughout this whole process each team member has been very polite, helpful and friendly. You don't see this kind of genuine service very often. You usually get a sale rep trying to up-sell you on things you don't need, a very short and unfriendly phone call from a rep to book an appointment and a tech that just sped

The manager Raymond called me within a day without hesitation when I sent in my follow-up feedback response. He assured me this is not the type of business he runs and nor appropriate behavior of his associates. He went above and beyond and proved that this location strives for the highest integrity. They truly value the customers that take the time to shop in person in a world of online sales. He had Angel assist me in correcting the sales reps misstep, who wasn't even this locations employee but a fill in a from another store and just assisting for a day. Angel was also top notch. I will continue to refer people to this location as well as Best Buy based on how this situation was rectified leaving me feeling good as I walked away this time as I have in all previous interactions before this.

Hey, a smile goes a long way!!!!…read more I went in a few minutes ago, returned two screens and a charging hub and instead I bought one large smart screen which costs more than the 3 items I returned. This young man who was "helping" me behaved in a manner as if I was bothering him and keeping him from his real job by huffing and puffing and sighing. He was not even aware of his bad attitude!!! Deary, this is not Highschool and I am not one your high school teenage buddies. I AM A CUSTOMER WHO IS GIVING BUSINESS TO THIS PLACE WHICH IN TURN PAYS YOU FOR HELPING US THE CUSTOMERS BUY WHAT WE NEED!!! Check your rude and impatient attitude and leave it outside the doors to the store. Once you walk past the entrance you have to be patient and not huff and puff when you are asked a question. PERIOD. If you were working for me you'd be kicked out on your butt in the street in a quick second. Thankfully, as I was walking out of the store, Stephen, the example of an elite and perfect retail salesperson approached me and asked me if I needed help with taking the large box to my car. Wow! This was a a huge surprise and I did tell him how I had been made to feel by the other git who pretended to help me and expressed my sincere thanks to him for doing an excellent job! By the way two weeks ago when I bought the two screens and the hub, the guy who helped me was also impatient and rude. This place needs some serious customer service training.
