Poor customer service!
Very poor customer service.. there is a clearly faulty with the product and they obviously saying that my 12 months for installation is over and I would be charged to get a technician!! This service should be free of charge!! He told me to go up and fix my self it’s cheaper!! After sale very poor not recommended!!

Poor after sales service - rude and unprofessional
After booking a service visit for a fault on the alarm keypad, I inquired about the warranty period and asked Tony to check their records on when the alarm was fitted, which was met with resistance. The Installers website states that their alarms come with a 5-year warranty, but I was told it was only three years when my alarm was fitted, which may have put it out of warranty, depending on date of fitting. When I again requested that the fitting date be checked in their system, Tony said its probably best the appointment is cancelled.
My experience is in line with all the other one star customer service reviews - talks over you, rude and sarcastic.
My advice is to do a little research and choose another company.

1 star is too many!
I have had the same poor customer service issues as so many other people. Who ever it is (man) that answers their phones needs a good lesson in customer service and humility. I have never encountered such a rude individual in my life. Talks over you, is sarcastic and doesnt want to hear there are any issues with their products or service. He refused to listen and just hung up on me ... sound familiar... read ALL reviews and see how often he does this! As for their service charges, they will still charge you even if the stuff fails under warrant...Read more
y. They will always find a way to hook you $149 call out so they are never out of pocket. Really poorly worded contract of sale, is confusing and ambiguous. Most companies want to look after customers, get good reviews and fix legitimate issues, not these guys! They just want $$$ and dont give a crap. My antenna is stuffed, this has been confirmed by another company and by Foxtel technician and i doubt it will be resolved by these guys. I do have rights to choose if I want a repair, replacement or a refund under ACCC guidelines and I will no doubt have to take legal action against them to get it. i strongly advise you double check warranty terms before you pay them anything and heed our warnings on this site. 10 years warranty sounds really great but it will cost you $149 for them to fix it after first 12 months! So really when you factor this in, you only have a 12 month warranty. Buyer beware!!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Disgusting customer service for warranty issues.
Had problems with antenna that has 10 year warranty. Their contract clearly states "A 10 year warranty applies to antennas and a 1 year warranty on all other parts and labor"... It is the antenna that failed and now I get told there will be $149 labor service charge to replace it. The person I was speaking to got abusive, sarcastic and continually spoke over me, finishing up with "Ring consumer affairs" and he hung up. They now refuse to answer my calls ...
To the owner - you were fine to take $450 off me when we first did business and couldn...Read more
t be helpful enough up to that point, but now there is a problem, you dont want to know me. If this is how you treat customers needing after sakes service, then I would never recommend you to anyone again!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great service all round!
I had 4 CCTV cameras installed around our semi-rural property. The installers were on time and cleaned up after themselves. I'm really happy with what they did start to finish and have recommended to a few people since my install. Thanks again Jake and team!

The worst service, Stay away!!!!
Had CC TV and alarm system installed by this company. They are very friendly at the beginning and helpful but after installation, if you have any problems, they are not helpful at all. They (Jake) is always hard to get in contact with and when having problems with the system, he is rude and not helpful. The security app on my phone wasn't working, so I called him but he was unable to address the issue over the phone so he said he would come to have a look. He then downloaded new apps and helped me reset the new IP address to reset the password ...Read more
and demanded $98 which he didn't tell me about before coming. This should be under warranty so I refused to pay and he got upset and said if I didn't pay, he would deactivate my CCTV and my security system until I did. He walked into my house and started deactivating everything and left saying that if I wanted to fix it, I would have to call him again and the fee would be $150. This is not the first time he has spoken to me rudely or had a short temper so I have had enough of his company and will be taking it to consumer protection.1 comment

Stay away from this disorganised company. Useless and unprofessional. Note they dont state where they are based or address. Not even his surname appears anywhere on his business card. Dodgy back yarders ill say. I had [name removed] quote a job as it was last minute thought to put CCTV on the job. Quotes it up with no detail of what is going to go on. Call and say Im happy to go ahead that the electrician needs to know where to put the cords so they can carry there quote out. He replies with a phone call of what needs to happen, I said he is c...Read more
onfusing me, speak to the electrician standing next to me. He tries to explain to the electrician but even he couldnt understand him. So he said he will quickly pass by on Thursday 9am as he was going passed the area to explain and draw a mud map and email me. Again didnt make sence. A baby could of drawn a better picture and his terminology for the distances where in Milliliters (Ml) not millimeters (mm) and his conduit sizes was 26ML not 25mm. At this stage i have lost my confidence with them, So i call to ask about when he can do the job and he replied with very short answers. Next call was to cancel the job. Yes, the lady says. Then i get an email that they are taking $149 call out fee. For what? I tell everyone about this story so i hope the word gets around of how shonky they are. STAY AWAY!!! By the way i shopped around and found a cheaper price. So i hope that $149 was worth it [name removed]. I assume [name removed] is going to reply with a pore excuse to cover this story like the rest of them. Lets hear it [name removed]!1 comment

rs and the general public and after installing more than 1000 systems have never had this issue. You booked a job with us and paid a deposit, we purchased the stock and went out of our way to come out and give direct instructions to your electrician. You then decided to cancel the job. We would have been in our rights to keep the deposit but decided to charge the call-out fee and cut our losses.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great if you're building
We just built or new house and compared the quote from our builder and these guys for smart wiring. These guys were a lot cheaper and worked with the builder to get it all installed. Really happy with the outcome, thanks again guys!

They broke drain pipes and Acond pipes whilst in roof
Had Installers install CCTV & Alarm system.
System worked find but when we went to use Acond in summer had water leaking from eaves (apparently it was water condensation form roof unit during high humidity day). Called the ACond guys to fix up their pipe. They said someone broke pipe possibly whilst installing cameras. Note Camera was about 1 metre away from acond drain pipe. Cost me $160.00.
Recently has builder attend he spotted water stains on eaves, he said it looks like its from the front down pipe, possibly come away in the roof. Again this is 1 metre away from CCTV camera.

rganise it be fixed. We are fully insured so it is never an issue. We would be out of business pretty quick if installers went around damaging things without letting our customers know. If you had called us we would have inspected the damage and if it was possible that we had caused the damage, it would have been fixed at no cost to you. Leaving a 1-star review because other people have said we may have possibly caused the damage, without calling us seems a bit odd.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Fast and hassle free service
Called and emailed around for quotes. A few replied but ridiculous pricing. Jake was up front, telling me what I should need for my place. So quote come in lower.
Product was explained to me prior to coming to install. Payment also explained.
I was lucky enough to see the working via a work mate installation. Plus the same brand was used at my site for pass 5 years. Our site suffered ftom high heat and dust and the HikVision still can handle. For home use in the city will be more then adequate. Initially I wanted to select the 8MP, Jake ...Read more
explained the working and suggest the 6MP is clear enough. The only negative was the required installation of a data point. The Hi-Connect App is very easy to navigate and set up and Jake will explain the working of it. Area was left clean and tidy. Arrival on time and each step is explained from $400 initial deposit to 2.5% surcharge of credit card.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Hikvision cameras
Had a alarm and camera system installed a couple of years ago and they did a good job.
The only thing with hikvision it's hard to view on your phone when you upgrade your phone.

Fast installation and nice guys
Really couldn't ask for more. The guys arrived on time and installed the alarm system in under half an hour, like a well-oiled machine. I was very impressed with them.

Happy with the price and the installers were excellent, good job.
We obtained 3 quotes and the Installers were the lowest. After doing a bit of research we went with them despite them not coming to the house to quote. We are pleased with the job and the installers were very good explaining things in full and not wanting to just finish and leave. They only started the install when we were happy where the cameras were going. Based on our experience I would recommend them.

Excellent service
After doing quite a bit of research we decided to go with The Installers for our house alarm/security cameras. Wow i wish more companies offered this level of service. From Jake helping to decide which system would be the best for our needs, to the installers arriving on time, even receiving a text the night before confirming installation time and a text half an hour before saying they were on their way, they were so polite and certainly knew the products and the best place to position the cameras for maximum benefit. Very happy with this purchase and highly recommend The Installers.

Great prices and team!
I needed an antenna installed asap as my old one broke in the wind. They came out within 12hrs and I was updated and running with 30min. The tech was super nice and explained some other installs I'm interested in. I'm having them back next week to do some smart wiring! :)

When I tried to arrange a service for my alarm under warranty my requests went unanswered. When I called to chase it up I was spoken to appalling by Tony who I believe is the owner, he then hung up on me. Disgusting customer service.
