Re: Ranger American yahoos.

An long time client of mine is buying a new home. The builder won't let us
wire it, and they don't offer a prewire only. So my client said fine I'll
buy the system and have my company (us) rip it out when I move in. What am I
getting for my money? No response. What kind of alarm and what
devices/keypads. We don't know, you'll have to call the alarm company. He
does, about 10 times. Finally, he gets hold of someone in Florida or
somewhere...What am I getting in my new home with the security system Ranger
Amercian is installing. We don't know..but's it's full upgradable. What do
you mean, you don't know what you are installing in my home? We'll have a
rep call you. The rep calls and HE DOESN'T KNOW EITHER! My client doesn't
know and can't find out if; they are doing all openings (up and down), how
many keypads, motions...etc..nada zilch.

But get this; they will not upgrade. He wants smokes, and CO detector, extra
motions, glassbreaks in every lower level room (the way I would do
it)...they won't do it and they won't prewire for them either!!!

What morons. Just shows you they are interested in the money only, not what
the client needs or wants.

Looks like they are affliated with ADT too.

Portion of client's email to me:

a.. The panel and keypad that they will supply are fully capable of
handling any upgrade package that we wish (which I don't believe).
b.. They have no product information on the equipment that they use, nor
can they advise me on how to obtain such information.
c.. Most disturbingly, she also tells me that XXXXX will not allow them to
prewire for any upgrades aside from a second keypad at the master bedroom.
This means that any integration of smoke detectors, CO detectors, glass
break sensors, upstairs perimeter switches on windows, garage sensors, or
any other items would have to be handled as after-market options between the
home-owner and the security company.
