Alert Alarm Systems Inc

Ridiculous one sided contract, overpriced monitoring, high pressure sales and in my case extortion I bought a home over two years ago that had a perfectly good alarm system already installed. When I recently contacted Alert Alarm (they had monitored the house for the previous owner) they were happy to talk and showed up unannounced the next day and began messing with my system while I read through a very one sided three year contract with automatic one year renewals at what seemed to be a high monthly price. I wouldn’t sign and checked around. Apparently there are several national companies willing to do the same monitoring job for one quarter the price and without any contract. Once I informed them that I was going with someone else and asked them to release or transfer my cell modem to my new monitoring company, nobody at Alert Alarm seemed to know how to do that. Finally after several days and numerous calls their salesman called me back and tells me the owner is willing to release my cell modem for $200. Just to be clear it’s my equipment, I owe them nothing but they will try to hold my modem hostage.

I wasn't happy with them. Their pricing are too expensive and i can't afford them. They sent be a bill for the system and they never even installed it. So I cancelled them.

These guys are the best! We switched from one of the big name brands and now pay less than half the monthly fee. There are no extra charges for additional monitoring (CO, smoke detectors etc.) Very professional, very neat installation, great advice, prompt, reliable. Highly Recommended!
