I told him the remote contol wasn't working at my house. He moved all around my yard and told me I had to stand in this one specific spot to get it to work. I called and talked to the manager and she said she would call me back and she never returned my call.
Description of Work: The panal box was too small, so they doubled up sensors and this negated some of the features. Also they messed up something with my A/C and they told me I couldn't prove that they did that.

Description of Work: They installed a new system over our prewired ADT alarm system for free. They also had a special at the time that we received the first six months for free. They showed us how to use the system thoroughly. When the alarm was triggered the company called back immediately to check if everything was alright. Prices per month were better then competitors prices. Dealing with them was a great experience!

They never showed up. I left work early - I waited from 3-6pm for them to show. No call, nothing. I had them come out for the same work previously and they showed up. I guess their check of the devices on the first visit was not sufficient. I don't understand why they didn't show.
Description of Work: I requested Certified come out to repair one of the window pieces as the device basically crumbled.

They are very good to call when the alarm goes off to make sure everything is OK. We have to give them a password so they know that it was an accident and that there is not an emergency. A couple of months ago, neither of us were home and they could not reach us. They finally called my daughter and told her that the alarm went off, but there was no sign of a break in when the police were sent out.
Description of Work: We have had an alarm system with them for about 2 years. They recently came out to change the batteries at no extra charge. Price is per month for their service.

As above, the service was excellent. They are a first class organization and will work with the customer.
Description of Work: Certified Security has been taken over by Vector Security, a national security firm. However, Vector has retained the "old" hands here in Jacksonville. In late July we requested a quote and two people (Dave and Ely) came to inspect our house and our existing system. They were extremely polite, professional and thorough. Our old system is different than Vectors new systems, but the Vector reps said they could work with our system and monitor through their network. They did not try to "sell" us their own system. They covered all aspects, explained the existing system and monitoring points, then scheduled an "installation" visit. On the "installation" date, the technician called in advance of the scheduled time and was at the house at the designated time. He was efficient and thorough in connecting our system. Everything worked as promised. In the past two days a "trouble" light came on (did not affect the system) and we called the office and they responded within a couple of days. The second technician (Andrew) was also excellent and fixed the trouble light problem and answered all our questions again. We are very pleased with Vector/Certified Security and would highly recommend them!

Tried to get them to correct often times not calling when my alarm goes off. They have been rude, unresponsive, and want more money to try to solve why their equipment does not work.
Description of Work: I have had constant problems with their service and have found them to be rude and dishonest to deal with.

We met Mike Richards via the Chamber of Commerce in Flagler county. He has provided exceptional service and whenever there has been an issue (alarm system had a minor bug in the beginning), he went beyond the call of duty to ensure we had the problem fixed. He came out and assessed the previous system that had been installed (different company) and was able to provide us coverage using the existing equipment. He didn't try to hard sell us, but asked us questions to figure out what we were wanting most in a home security system. It's been several months now and we're very happy with the company, the security system and specifically Mike Richards.
Description of Work: We had an extensive alarm system put in with the use of security cameras as well. We also have a monthly service.

The salesperson wrote the order and the installers called prior to arrival on the agreed upon date. The installation took about an hour with two men working, they checked it out and were professional in their work including clean up.

Description of Work: Certified Security is awesome. I called and spoke to several people who were very nice and could work with my schedule. Very informative and also let me know that no one was sub-contracted and also do background checks on all employees. Mark is the gentlemen that showed up on time, I was actually running a few minutes behind due to rush hour traffic. Anywho, he was very polite and knowledgeable showed me the model and even tested it. They do have specials, just make sure to ask, but Mark does mention the specials to you. The day of installation, Frank was the one to install, he was actually available early and called and let me know. He arrived and was very polite, nice and very knowledgeable. Frank had let me know he had been working for the company for over 10+ years and let me tell ya, you could tell. It did not take him long at all. While, Frank was installing, Mark even came by to make sure everything was going smoothly, which was nice. Showing me their company takes pride in what they do. Frank was even nice enough to play with my dog, whom of course didnt like him at first but became his best friend by the time he left. I would def recommend this company to anyone, especially Frank and Mark.

Again, I feel, overall, I did get treated fairly. Even though I wasn't prepared to pay $200 for the fire alarm (it was between $150-200) when they scratched my table, and I suggested they reimburse me for the alarm in lieu of scratches they had no problem doing that. And again when I had the problem with the alarm, and they sent out the tech, when I expressed my concerns to another supervisor about this, and the fact that nothing could have happened to my phone line between the time of the install and the time the problem occurred, he agreed and they just never bothered me about it again! To me, this is good customer service. Most company's are NOT like this; most will suck you until you are dry, but they did not and for this I will certainly remain a loyal customer. This is all we want, for someone to see it from OUR (the customers) point of view once in awhile and I feel that they did this for me!
Description of Work: Had alarm installed by Certified Security. No down payment. Talked me into getting smoke alarm, $200. They scratched my kitchen table (accidentally) when lay something down on it. Talked to supervisor and he agreed to refund me the $200 for smoke detector in lieu of scratched table; he made good on promise, sent ck back to me. Week later, alarm not working properly. Tech comes out, says someone has cut telephone lines and this will be $200. I am furious. Contact another supervisor and advise no one has been to my home since install and no one has cut my phone lines. Tech upset, I am upset. Supervisor says he will talk to tech in morning and call me back, but not to worry, we will work something out. I never did get a callback, but they also never billed me, not even the $30 which is standard when they send out a tech. Since then I have started making my monthly pmts. (About $33 a month) and have had no further problems. I say they're easy-going, and bent backwards to please customers.
