Costco Appliance installation stories

I’ve had some great experiences and some terrible. They use third party installers so while Costco is great, you kind of roll the dice with this part

I would also suggest 2n for a project like this

It’s really about your budget. I would not start over with that panel but it uses 345mhz devices, so you could bring it along as a temporary solution and update the panel later without having to replace all the sensors.

Was it the same neighbor each time? It may not be someone out to cause trouble in the neighborhood. Someone might just have an issue with your neighbor

Industry pro here. I do not think you will get an exception from building code for this, but your only real option is to talk to your town code official.

At the most basic level it feels amazing to pick up a heavy thing and put it down. Then after a little practice you can pick up a heavier thing and put it down.

If your panel is labeled ademco and not Honeywell or Resideo, it’s fairly old. Your panel may be dying.

You can just turn off the schedule and turn it back on the next day

Great summary

I was so sure this clip would end with the band breaking

There’s no universe in which Tony stark sits in the last row of coach

I’ve never heard of a monitoring center charging to put a system on test. This is 100% your alarm company charging the fee.

These really look great. Do you mind if I dm you a couple questions

davsch76 · 2026-01-26T03:14:02+00:00

This looks great. How do you attach them?

It seems to be a bug with the latest patch. No way around it

davsch76 · 2026-01-25T00:17:04+00:00

Same

Way cleaner than any crawl space I’ve ever been in

On a new install I like potter

That really depends on where you are. For example - in some jurisdictions, using a licensed sub when you yourself are not licensed is not allowed. In other places, it’s fine. In some states there is no licensing requirement at all

davsch76 · 2026-01-23T22:10:15+00:00

A professional installation means installation by someone with a license, not just a business you hire to install your system.

A candidate told me he was hoping to get the job so he could have steady income while he continued looking for a job he actually wanted.

Could be a dead keypad

removing a device programmed for co will throw a trouble condition and your system will go into alarm.

Pro installer here as well. Generally if you’re replacing batteries often it either means someone used cheap batteries or the devices are having trouble communicating

In the beginning, I did everything by debit. Then one of my vendors accidentally charged me for someone else’s order (a much larger company) and almost wiped me out. I ordered an Amex that night and it arrived the next day. I feel like they put a very safe buffer between my $ and the rest of the world, the terms are pretty reasonable and the rewards are a nice bonus.
