Internet and security camera installation

Al installed a new 4G aerial and router, together a Wi-Fi extender, which has greatly improved our reception as we live in a very rural location. He also installed a hard wired CCTV camera on the outside of the house. All these works were carried out very professionally. Al is extremely knowledgeable and is quick at responding to any queries and giving clear explanations. I would thoroughly recommend him.

Great service…

Al Bloomfield came to assess our house for 4G or Starlink, as we can’t get fibre. He tested every possible option and then gave us time to decide how to proceed. We decided on Starlink, and he had it set up and working in an incredibly short time. He was polite, kind, friendly and helpful, not just then but in terms of after care, and we would (and have) recommend him to anyone needing this kind of help.

AR Systems residential alarm installation

Alarm system installation in our home. Al was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. He carried out a survey, designed the system and provided a quote very quickly. Once accepted, he agreed a date and the alarm was installed without any issues or mess. Al talked us through the user interface, explaining everything clearly including the support options available. The alarm system is much better from a usability perspective than the 10 year old one we replaced. Very happy with our experience of AR Smart Systems so far.

Friendly & knowledgeable local company who completed our wifi rewiring job quickly & efficiently. Al was very helpful in sorting our existing wiring mess. I'm really pleased with the finished results & would have no hesitation in recommending AR Smart Systems to anyone who needs a fast & reliable wifi set up in their home.

5G Mobile Home Broadband Installation

Al, from AR Smart Systems, visited us after I first enquired if they were interested in installing an external antenna so as to enable us to install 5G mobile broadband for our house (Openreach seeming incapable, after months of visits, of actually doing anything constructive by way of making fibre broadband available to us).
Al duly conducted a site survey and concluded that its results showed that a mobile broadband solution was well within our reach.
Installation of the antenna was made on 1 September and the results were at the upper end of my expectations. Connecting my antenna to my new 5G router resulted in us obtaining download speeds of around 90Mbps and upload speeds around 50 Mbps - compared with 15/5Mbps on our previous TalkTalk service.
Al is a personable individual willing to do a bit more, rather than a bit less, to do a good job. He arrived on-time, worked hard and cleaned-up at the end.
I have no hesitation in recommending AR Smart Systems for a first class job at a reasonable price - with the installation backed by a 2-year AR Smart Systems guarantee.

Highly recommend A R Smart Systems

Highly recommend A R Smart Systems. Al installed CCTV & Alarm for us at our home. We couldn’t be more please with the service we received. Al was very knowledgeable when explaining the system to us, nothing seems to be too much trouble. In fact we are using him again in the future to help with home Wi-Fi.

First class yet again

First class yet again! First time I used for Alarm install and second time for AV and Networking & WiFi. Fantastic service and professional install. Being in the IT & networking field myself, I can confirm that my installer is very knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend and I will be using again.

Amazing alarm and even better customer experience!

This will be the second alarm fitted in my family with AR smart Systems and I would definitely recommend. Fitting was quick, tidy and Al was really helpful and patient when answering my many questions! He guides you through how to work the system after fitting, which is very user friendly.
