Installation of a home alarm system. Upon contact, discussion of options and installation, the service was great. I would have gladly given 5 stars. But after developing a few issues with the alarm (it going off at times when it was turned off) contact was made with them to come out and try to resolve the issues. Unfortunately they never came and cancelled a few times and made appointments when we advised that those days were not suitable a number of times. Now we are unable to get in contact as calls are not answered and emails not replied to. Extremely disappointing after the initial great service that was provided. Now off to pay someone else to fix their problems........

Hi There,
We have had a disruption of our services our number will be up and running by Monday.

CAUTION!
Installation of home alarm system. Found them to be professional and courteous and trustworthy. Cleaned up after themselves.
I initially gave this company 5 stars but have now decided to edit this after several months of attempting to address problems. After less than 12 months from installation,we developed problems with the remote controls. I contacted Chris, who stated he was aware that there were problems with the remotes with other people. Discussion was had to arrange replacement. However since this conversation it has been several months and numerous phone calls (none returned) and emails later (some returned) there still has been no resolution. Arrangements for him to come over to repair or replace them were determined via email, but he did not arrive or call to state he was not coming. The security controls remain non-functional to date.

An update on their response. This was recieved after over 12 months of numerous emails and phone calls, mostly unanswered. I contacted several other security companies after nurmerous failed attempts to get Chris to fix the issue. None of the other companies had ever heard of the brand of alarm that Murdoch Security installed. Therefore we had to install a completely new TRUSTED alarm system. The after sales service was appalling with Murdoch Security and the quality of their parts is questionable, given multiple other security companies did not know of the brand that was installed.
We relied on their good name on this website prior to the installation, but they really fell down.

Hi Agel, I saw your comments and was going to add that I too had similar hardware problems with the remote and then system failure later...

hi able - It is interesting to see that there are several reviews now with similar feedback. If you find a good security installer with a good track record with post-installation problems, please let me know!

When I first called Chris I new he was busy. I was happy to wait as he seemed very professional in his approach. When it came to the time of install, my first impressions were correct, professional from start to finish and he listens to the client. More than happy to recommend to anyone who asks me if I know a good security installer.

We had a camera installed in our showroom to link to a TV in our back office. Chris responded to our initial enquiry quickly, and came to install the camera within days, hassle free. Others had not listened to our requests and were trying to sell us things we didn't need, but Chris gave us exactly what we wanted, at a very reasonable price. We would be happy to recommend Murdoch Securities.

When I needed a quote for installing an alarm system, Chris was the most prompt and most reasonable of quotes. When speaking with Chris, you know that you're dealing with a professional who knows the industry, and I felt confident with Chris' recommendations.

After now having fitted out two homes with Chris, and without any issues whatsoever, I can confidently recommend Murdoch Security to anyone that wants a security system done right.

Chris installed a security system during a particularly stressful time. He did a great job and the follow up was excellent. Very easy to deal with.

I am very impressed by the high quality of service Chris Murdoch delivers. He installed an alarm system and got the solution monitored 24/7. He is consistent from the first contact up until now after finishing the installation. He also follows up and give me calls once in a while as I subscribed for his monitoring solution. He has always been clear on what needed to happen. He is friendly, energetic, on time, open and very professional. He knows what he is talking about. He is definitely doing quality and not quantity. He is values his customers. I really feel looked after. With Chris, you buy more than just an alarm system ! At least, there is one thing for sure, Satisfaction guarantee !!! What a tradesman !!! I highly recommend him.

The team is very proficient in responding to initial quote and installing. Apart from friendly and approachable service, they are technically well equipped and given me sufficient advice. I'm most impressed by their after-sales service after hearing so much on tradesmen having lousy response after getting your money. The team not only respond promptly to calls and events, they even went the extra mile to install other items that are not part of the original contract as I have a real need of those items. I've been in Australia for close to 7 yrs and they are certainly one of the most impressionable tradesmen around :-)

I was very impressed that Chris called me to tell me the previous job was taking longer than expected. He told me a later time and turned up exactly at that time which was very helpful.
He was friendly and efficient and sorted out my alarm monitoring system very well. Definitely highly recommended!

Chris Murdoch installed my security alarm and video intercom. He was professional, quick, polite, friendly and provides us fully satisfaction neither in their product nor service with affordable price. Quick response in security maintenance while needed with an excellent service. Two thumbs up for Chris Murdoch and high recommend for Murdoch Security. All the Best!
