Highly recommend Forest Security. Their responsiveness and professionalism can't be beat. Got a response to my inquiry in less than 24 hours, and the installation process was professional and painless. They use top notch equipment and thoroughly explain the system to you. Any questions are quickly responded to. The system is so easy to use, and the peace of mind is priceless. A local company with great ethics and great service.

When I called to take advantage of this offer the gentleman, that I spoke to, said, "we don't offer that service." I don't think it should be publicized if they're not going to offer it.
Description of Work: In the Angie's List magazine it says "3 months free monitoring."

Response from Forest Security Inc
We were so sorry to hear you decided against all of our various offers and services. Contract terms are required with our no cost installation and we understand being in a rental property, it is difficult to know the length of time you will reside there. When we reached out to you to offer alternative solutions, you had already decided against our service. We would have been more than happy to work with you.

Response from Forest Security Inc
We at Forest Security take great care in providing the best customer service to all potential and current clients. When we receive a request for proposal or site inspection, we record all details so to ensure we meet all requirements requested. We would have loved to meet with you for your site survey but unfortunately we do not have any of your information in our database. We certainly apologize if it was our error and would have done anything possible to rectify this if you would have called us.

My wife and I just moved into our house. A previous owner must have used a Forest Security Systems home security system because their hardware was installed on the walls in multiple places. We didn't want this hardware, so I called them to have it removed. The woman I spoke to said they wouldn't do it and that they never remove their hardware after service is terminated. We're very frustrated because this hardware is unsightly and we want it removed before we repaint the walls. We don't know where else to turn to have it removed.
Description of Work: They refused to come to our house to remove their home security system hardware.

Response from Forest Security Inc
We certainly would have been happy to remove the old customer owned security equipment from you new home but all service calls are billable. We quoted you the current rate but you wanted a Forest service technician to come to your house to remove your old security system, all wiring, patch and paint all walls at no cost.
