The Good

  • Customizable Plans and Equipment
  • Home Automation
  • Remote Control Access via the Alarm.com App
  • 24/7 Burglary and Theft Monitoring
  • Fluent Guarantee and Lifetime Warranty 

Customizable Plans and Equipment

Fluent Home does not provide pre-built packages, rather it offers you a custom solution that allows you to hand-select security equipment that suits your needs so you don't have to pay for features you don't need. This provides more versatility to customers and peace of mind that they won't be missing out on any camera or security solutions they desire. Fluent Home costs will vary depending on the plan you select (home automation and added security equipment will increase your monthly fee), and all security packages require a 36-month contract. 

Standard Features Included

  • Fluent 24/7/365 burglary & theft monitoring
  • Easy-to-use touchscreen control panel
  • Customized 8-point security system
  • Remote web & mobile access/control
  • Remote arm & disarm alarm system
  • Email and text notifications

Optional Features Included

  • Carbon monoxide monitoring
  • Flood sensors & freeze detection
  • Personal emergency device (medical)
  • Lighting control
  • HVAC control
  • Automated door locks
  • Remote real-time video

Home Automation

Fluent Home is more than just an alarm company; it offers home automation capabilities along with its home security systems. With Fluent's smart home automation, you can:

  • Monitor and remotely control door locks
  • Adjust thermostat
  • Access 24/7 live video feed from your doorbell camera and indoor security camera
  • Turn on/off your lights remotely
  • Arm/disarm security system remotely
  • Receive security notifications via the Fluent App

Remote Control Access via the Alarm.com App

Fluent Home also provides you with its Alarm.com app upon installation so you can access, monitor, and control your system remotely in real-time. This is great for consumers who want access to their home security system from anywhere at any time. 

24/7 Burglary and Theft Monitoring

Fluent Home offers 24/7 burglary and theft monitoring 365 days a year while providing you with an easy to use touchscreen control panel, a customized 8-point security system and will send you email and text notifications when necessary. Fluent Home security systems also sport motion sensor and glass break detector functionality. Motion detectors are easy to install, and even easier to monitor from your smartphone mobile app. Fluent Home's monthly monitoring service rates start at $29.99. 

Fluent Guarantee and Lifetime Warranty 

Unique to Fluent Home, the security company provides its customers with this guarantee: to only use state-of-the-art equipment, 80% of all support calls answered within 60 seconds, resolution of customer concerns on the first call, or service issues guaranteed to be serviced within seven days, and any customer not serviced within one week will receive free monitoring until their issue is resolved. In addition, Fluent Home security warranties all its equipment for the lifetime of the customer.

The Bad

  • Prices Not Disclosed on Website
  • Three-Year Contract
  • $99 Moving Fee
  • No 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Prices Not Disclosed on Website

Fluent Home doesn't post any equipment pricing information on its website, rather the company asks that you contact a sales rep so it can provide you with a custom quote based on your specific needs. That's not necessarily a bad thing because by doing so you will only be paying for those products and services you actually need. However, this is definitely inconvenient for any homeowner looking to quickly and easily compare Fluent Home's prices to other home security providers. 

Three-Year Contract

Fluent Home requires a three-year contract for its services. This is a somewhat common contract length within the home security industry but with the company's higher video monitoring prices, this may prove to be too expensive for some consumers. Especially with a moving fee and no money-back guarantee, be sure to understand all the terms before committing to Fluent Home's long-term contract.

$99 Moving Fee

Fluent Home does offer removal, transport, and reinstallation services to its customers, however, the company charges $99 to move the security system to a new location. Many security providers offer moving options free of charge. This is unfortunate for any consumers who may move during their contract with Fluent Home. If this is the case, you may want to consider looking into a home security provider that does not charge a moving fee.

No 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Unlike many home security companies, Fluent Home does not offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. The company does allow you to cancel your services for up to three days after you sign your agreement. However, this is not an ample amount of time for customers to change their minds if they decide Fluent Home is not for them. If you want more of a trial period, we suggest looking into other home security providers.

The Bottom Line

Fluent Home advertises state-of-the-art products and professional monitoring services. Fluent Home provides a lifetime warranty for its equipment. However, in the company's reviews, customers note faulty equipment and a variety of other complaints, including poor customer service. Customers also have to pay a $99 moving fee if they want to transfer their home security system to a new home.

Customer reviews are often the most telling information you can gather to determine whether a company is worth doing business with. Read Fluent Home reviews below if you are interested in hearing what current and past customers have to say about the home security provider.

CJ was the tech I spoke with and she was very helpful and very nice, she stayed on the phone to make sure that everything was working like it should after we changed our monitor battery. She was a blessing to get in this day and time, if I have anymore problems I would be very happy to get her again. Again a big Thank You CJ

Sam Denotter Edmonton, AB

After deciding I wanted to move to a new city, I wanted to cancel my contract with Fluent. I was informed that it would be no problem and they would help me when the time came. Fast forward to after selling the old home and buying a new one. I called Fluent again, and they said they could cancel the contract but I would have to pay out the entire contract price. Personally I could see paying out maybe half, but not the entire amount. that was 18 months ago. Now I am trying to prevent them from billing me month to month now that my contract is up, and the process is horrid. I had to wait on hold for around 20 minutes to talk to someone in retention, who told me what a simple FAQ could have told me. GET A CALL BACK SERVICE! In the end my phone call was just short of 35 minutes! To cancel an expiring contract.

Opting for Fluent Home for my home security needs has been a positive experience. Their user-friendly app allows me to control and monitor my security system remotely, and the professional installation was efficient and thorough. Fluent Home's customer service has been responsive and helpful, ensuring that I feel secure and supported in my choice of home security provider.

I was assisting a disabled senior friend of mine, who is also on very limited income, reach out to your company ( with and by her request) to troubleshoot and resolve a problem with her system. When we called we spoke to several customer service people (Marie & Alan) who politely listened to our needs. They directed us to Zia. In this day of impersonal communication via text/emails, etc., Zia is an amazing/refreshing example of how to treat customers in a much needed "old fashioned" way. Definitely she is a major asset to Fluent! Give this gal some praise! She listened patiently, was focused on our needs, respectful, knowledgeable, helpful in every way, honestly followed up as she said she would. Believe me ...if there was a way I could personally tip her I would.....this is the kind of personal customer service that is missing in this so called "all about marketing" world today. I really feel even as we talked with the other reps your company has got something you must keep....the personal touch. To those out there that do similar jobs please know THAT is what it's all about....treat others as you would like to be treated....pretend you are are the customer ...and employers like you Fluent...allow them to do so! We forget...you can "ONLY give 2" of the the following in business...price - service- quality! Thanks for giving my friend service and quality!

The system works well. The representative for our area is suppose to come around to check our to see if all is well. At this point has not happened a bit diappointing as I believe I have a couple of low batteries I did recieve a message from Fluent regarding it but to date no knock on the door. Hopefully soon as I and the rep agreed they would stop by when needed to ensure all is well

Is this a joke? You have the unmitigated gall to ask me to reach out to yet again to have this resolved. I have sent 2 letters of request to cancel my 2nd subscription that was never approved by me. It was painful experience the both times and I was met with absolutely horrific and appalling customer service. I will continue to shed light on this fraudulent company. If it save just one person from being fleeced I will be able to rest easier.

Jennifer Delliskave Midvale, UT

Be aware of Fluent's door-to-door salesmen!!! My 82 yo mom let one into her house and was scammed into a 5-year contract. The salesman knew she already had security with another company, but he didn't bother to find out if she still had time on her existing contract. It would have been easy to have her call the company while he was there to check, but he was more interested in getting a big commission. He had her sign all the paperwork that day to tell the other company she was changing services. It cost mom $1500 to pay off the contract. This company is also not clear about how much it really costs for their service. They told mom it would only be $24.99 per month, but she did not understand that she would also have to pay $2000 for new equipment -- which of course would be added to her monthly bill. Between the $1500 contract payment and $2000 in new equipment, she ended up paying more than if she had just stayed with her old company. When I confronted Fluent's management and the salesman, they would not let her out of the new contract. They also kept telling me "Oh, but we're saving her so much money!" The total cost for her was more than her whole monthly Social Security payment. These people are crooked.

Just run!!!! If I could give a zero I would! Worst experience ever! Only had service since Oct 2023 door bell, wall panel and app have never worked properly was told a tech was coming to fix still 3 months later nothing. I've called over 2 dozen times to be pushed away. Within 30 days of owning I told them I wanted out of contract they lied and told me I couldn't get out of the 5 yr contract. We had our alarm go off for over 15 minutes Dec 26th no one from fluent called to check on us. We called asked why they told us no one works past 9pm. What's the point of service if no one is monitoring it? Unacceptable. We've been told a tech isn't in our area yet a tech came in Oct to install it...kinda odd if you ask me. Was told once it's all fixed a credit would be applied but until it's fixed they aren't going to do anything then was told it's not their responsibility to have functioning equipment...seriously? I've recently reported them to BBB to get out of a contract that has never been working since day 1 and am waiting on response. Buyer beware. Do not use this company they are scam artists and will not help you at all. Still 3plus months later 90% of our equipment doesn't function correctly. Still waiting on a supervisor to contact us back and still waiting a tech to come fix the faulty products.

Seems I signed a 5 year contract which they never got a copy to me. Things were great the first 3 years then my cameras (chargeable ones) started not charging, after many phone calls and used replacement cameras and new batteries I was told I would need to pay $140 to upgrade to new equipment because my contract was at the 3 year mark. My cameras no longer record (yay me and I still have to pay 70$ a month). I found a charger that at least charges the batteries. They do have some very knowledgeable staff and others no so much. Definitely no longer pleased with their equipment or lack of anything to help the client. So now I have to decide do I pay the extra to have stuff that works till my contract is up. Definitely not impressed

My review is for Mahonri, who answered my call regarding discontinuing service due to an impending move. He was very helpful in explaining the process to get me to my contract expiration date and how payment would be handled. He actually listened to my questions and concerns, and helped make my transition to a new life situation less stressful. That has not been my experience with prior calls to Customer Service.

I had a wonderful experience with your text Dept and Carolyn. She took care of what I needed done and the part that she was not able to. Do she put in a request for someone to call me in the morning as I will need a tech person to come out to the house I was very impressed that she kept me on the phone while she ordered that so that I knew that it actually had been done. My only problem is that two hours after our phone call the problem of the beeping started again which I can stop, but it should have been stopped because it was supposed to be turned off. Carolyn did all that she could while we were on the phone and I appreciate all that she did to help me. I’m looking forward to hearing from the company tomorrow and having a tech come out.

Deceptive, sneaky, dishonest I signed a contract 5 years ago. A year ago, I called to try to cancel and was told I needed to wait out my contact which is scheduled to end 01/16/2024. Today (12/21/2023) I called to make sure no additional withdrawals would be made since my contract was ending. Guess what?! THEY AUTO RENEWED MY CONTACT FOR THREE MORE YEARS because I did not contact them 30 days prior to my contracting ending. Here's the thing. If you call for ANY reason other than to upgrade your system or subject yourself to aggressive selling tactics, your calling is "oops sorry" disconnected. I had to try for three days to contact someone and finally got a hold of someone who could give me the direct line to Resolutions. The same thing happened a year ago. So no, I do not want to continue, upgrade or refer anyone else to this abominable service.

Faulty equipment, bad customer service. Have not been satisfied for years, but we signed a 5 year contract, so we've suffered through. Called to finally cancel as I could not remember the exact end of our contract. Found out it was in July and since we didn't cancel prior to that they automatically extended our contract for another 3 years and are telling us there is no way to cancel at this time other than to pay out the new 3 year contract. They also did not notify us, lower our rate, or provide updated equipment. When we signed we were told the price was so high due to the equipment being paid for over the course of the 5 year contract.

Want to thank Kurt for getting things straightened out. 1st off. Waiting 20 min for someone to answer. Poor. Waiting on line for over an hr while technician is trying to ask others how to resolve the issue and than dropped call n never called back. Just to start an whole hr n half over with another associate to try to resolve it. With no luck they send me u tube video that doesn't even relate to my system to figure it out myself. Poor. Again thanks to Kurt he knew the whole operation had to be done by service man not to be done by home owner. 6 months with this ussue with no help. Gd thing Kurt knows something atleast.

I want to thank the agent Martin on the Resolutions team. He treated me like a valued customer and understood my problem. I am having problems with my system and he is helping me to get it fixed.

This is Ms. Clovise I. I spoke with Jae and he was very respectful and helpful with my concerns about my security system situation. I told him what my unit was doing and he said he was going to fix the issue on his end at the office. I said thank you and was very pleased with his decision.

Mary Lou Weber Erie, PA

Tried to cancel last year. When I called was told to email the request to the cancellation dept. Unfortunately, did not see the clause on the contract that said cancellation must be one month in advance. The person I spoke to at that time in the "cancellation dept." was very condescending and said I would have to continue for another year or pay for the next year to cancel. Needless to say, I didn't cancel at that time. He was not a very good rep for your company. Wish I had written down his name at the time.

I was very happy with Fluent first years. It seems that since it switched API, the service is not the same. Fluent rep used to come, when he was in my area, and check on my system just to make sure I’m okay. That does not happen anymore. I’m paying $42/month and I’m doing their tech work...had to replace the CM battery, wall monitor battery, then when I couldn’t climb up to replace the battery in the hall monitor, I couldn’t do that. Then I received an email telling me that if I didn’t send back the old hall monitor, they were going to charge me!

The alarm system works. I had some issues with the Arlo cameras and with the pandemic they would not send anyone out so it took me a week or two to try to figure out how to get them working again.

We’ve had it for a long time so it is starting to show some tear but they have always been real good about fixing things. It is easy to use. I like the features in the service and they program they put together for me.

Seems like they have pretty good equipment. I never have any issues with the equipment or the installation. It is accessible via cellphone and that is great. They have pretty good customer service though t can be hard to get a hold of them.

My smoke detector went off the other night because of something I was frying on the stove. It didn't take long before the monitoring station was asking if everything was alright. The gentleman on the other end was very nice about it and didn't make me feel stupid for the occurrence.

Up until the last month, I had been happy with Fluent. However, we recently had a fire in our shop. The heat and smoke were intense but the alarm didn’t go off until the shop was at an extremely high heat. The monitors were, by this time, melted. I was able to get help from a lady, after two futile attempts with other staff, who heyme disarm the two alarms in the shop and stop the incessant beeping of the security system. Up until this point, we had no concerns about our security system and hope to get it up and running again when the shop has been renovated.

Few years ago our home phone line was cut from construction 1/4 mile from home. At that time we found out that our Fluent alarm system was only linked to home phone line and not cell. If alarm was activated for break in etc there was no way we could of been notified. Also have had other problems with Fluent system which took few years to remedy.

Kate

Two major issues: 1) a detector was beeping; I called tech and a guy walked me through how to take the thing down. It was only installed 3 years ago, and had expired already. Not impressed.2) The main panel started beeping, in the wee hours of the morning. It gave a communication error. I called into tech services, and was told the rror had to do with my cell phine connection with the nearest tower. The nearest tower is within 500yards of the house, so this made no sense. But it kept happening. I called in again and was told I could buy a $70 part and install myself (with their help) OR replace the whole control box. I bought the $70 part. I have NOT installed it, but magically the error has gone away. Now my spidey sense are tingling......does someone sit in a control chair at Fluent and get bored in the early hours of the morning, and send out wierd error messages, just for a lark?

I had a system installed and the time was incorrect. I called and within 2 mins was speaking with Homer. After explaining my situation, he got to work looking into it. He had to get some help from another department, and was able to get the issue resolved. What I liked is that he did not pass me on to someone else, he stayed with me, fixed the issue, and most likely learned something. This proves that we can not know everything about our jobs, but if you can get help when needed and learn something AND help the customer at the same time, everyone wins! Very well done Homer!

Parker and Chris are 5 star employees. They have both helped me immensely with an issue I have had with my thermostat and the scheduling in the app. The reason I only gave 4 stars is their support through the 'normal' 1-855 line. I realize that Cust, reps @ 800 lines are only the first line of defense and most work off a preset list of questions and solutions, which is fine. However, They are either reluctant or not allowed to pass you onto a higher technician when they cannot figure out your issue. I even had a Rep yesterday just hang up on me once he heard my issue and he knew it was beyond his ability. That being said, every person I have interacted with have been very pleasant and friendly. They have all wanted to help (exception being yesterday) with whatever issue I have called in. Please just give your tier 1 techs the authorization to call in a higher skilled tech when they are unable to resolve the customer issue.

Ken Clayton Woodridge, IL

We needed to upgrade our old 3G and hard wired system. Fluent did this free of charge by me just extended my contract. The installer, Wahlid, was excellent! He put on a mask and wore it properly the entire installation. He was courteous and professional and took extra time to make sure we knew how to use it correctly. When we armed it the first time that evening we got a warning that the smoke detector was not communicating with the units. Mandy P called me and worked diligently to fix the problem which she did by update the required info and rebooting our system. She too was courteous, professional, and worked with us until the problem was solved. Fluent is lucky to have employees like Wahlid and Mandy P

Their customer service has always been great however we have frequent problems with our window security alarms (often says tampered with when no one touched them) and we have had frequent problems with our sky bell doorbell not recording or LED not lighting etc. It’s been replaced numerous times. Our backyard camera, even though you can set the sensitivity and settings of it, it always seems to record too much or things like wind blowing or doesn’t record at all. However technology is not perfect and most security systems/companies have their pros and cons. A pro for fluent is their customer service is always wonderful!!

Donna Riggs Apache Junction, AZ

This company came to my 93 year father’s home and told him that their company was taking over the existing home security company that he currently has had for many years. The gentleman (I use that term loosely) was very nice and chatted with my father and helped him sign a 5 year contract, again my father is “93 yrs” old….I have contacted Fluent and explained my disgust with how they misrepresented themselves. He is still under contract with his existing company till 2025.. They have already changed his key pad etc. NO ONE from Fluent will discuss the fraudulent actions by their company. After hours on hold, we were told that he signed a contract (of which we have no copy of what he signed….I am attempting to get a copy now) and it is binding, if he doesn’t pay, they will send him to collection, Gratefully, his current security system is attempting to help us …I was told Fluent has a reputation for this type of deceitful sales…VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS COMPANY…..EVERYONE BE CAREFUL OF THEIR TACTICS..

Most of the cost is paid in HOA fees. System is more complex than what we have had. It produces unexpected arming at times. Does not have battery back up like previous alarms did.
