The Bad

  • Undisclosed Contract Terms

Undisclosed Contract Terms

Although Cove mentions customers could pay as low as $19.95 per month for its professional monitoring services, along with the standard $99 upfront equipment fee, the home security provider has not disclosed the length or terms of its contract, e.g., possible cancellation or restocking fees for early termination.

As contract length remains of the largest concerns for new home security customers, providing this information upfront will empower homeowners to make a more informed decision as they compare home security companies.

The Bottom Line

Florida homeowners interested in working with a local home security company that offers professional monitoring, professional installation, and a suite of home security and smart home products might find Core Home Security to be the right choice for them. Potential customers are encouraged to read verified Core Home Security reviews as well as inquire about Core’s contract terms before making their final decision.

Patricia Thompson Hephzibah, GA

It has been alright. I don’t have to much else to say. I always get someone to talk to whenever I call and I really do appreciate that. Being able to reach someone when ever I call is very important to me and not just leaving a message and hope someone returns your call. How do I know when I reach 40 characters.

Keith Gray Madison, AL

They provide exemplary products and services our cons we don't activate the alarm while we are home and that seams to be a problem. We receive acknowledgment reminding to set alarm, or if we open a door to go outside the house. Wonderful service but only needed when we set the alarm.
