ted the problem
Description of Work: I liked the rep. She was not pushy unlike the popular company. I needed the system about a day before I left on vacation. Adam came promptly for the appt. and did a good job in installing the system. However it developed a glitch the same night. The regional manager on call came personally to my house to try to correct the problem. He was very nice and corrected the problem which lasted 1 hour. The next day I was leaving for vacation. Adam came on Saturday after I left, was let in my neighbor and fixed the problem which has worked until now very well. He also fixed my garage door opener that got messed up w/ the installation.The only down side is the contract which is transferable however.I liked th service and would recommend Adam, The rep and the service

The system works well. However, the oral directions for using it were provided too quickly and the print directions (which I was told would re-explain) are too general. I still am not using all of the features. I was double-billed for the first months; when I contacted the company, they were quick to catch the error and then agreed to apply the extra payment to the next period. However, they mailed me a check instead.
Description of Work: Re-connected existing alarm system and installed new key box. Instated new security service.

Elaina handled the consultation. She was flexible with the meeting time. She explained my options/pricing and answered any questions I had. She was very patient and didn't treat me like it was the last call of the day. She allowed me to think my options over and then met with me again in a few days to write up the contract. Doug called when promised to set up appointment. The installer was scheduled to arrive between 9-11 Friday morning. He arrived at 10:45 and didn't leave until 4:30. The home was prewired but the wires were hidden behind drywall. He installed the system and demonstrated basic functions. Elaina followed up later to make sure everything was okay. The installer forgot to leave yard signs and stickers so she personally dropped them off. They returned when requested to make sure the motion detector was set up for my pet. A key fob didn't come with my package but they were willing to accept a competitor coupon which offered a free key fob.
Description of Work: Received a free consultation with Elaina Haverstick. Installed home security system which included a key pad, motion detector, and 3 door contacts. Cellular backup/monitoring and key fobs are extra. Basic installation is $149 and monthly monitoring starts at $29.95.

Protection One was the cheapest alarm company that we discovered in our search. The monthly rate is reasonable, and they offer cellular backup.
Description of Work: A current system was in place in our home. The technician moved duplicated sensors to new locations in our house, providing more coverage. Wireless smoke detectors, wireless glass-break detectors, and a cell-phone backup system was installed.

Great company to work with. Sales rep. Nick was very knowledgeable, gave a discount for alarm system and smoke detector. The technicians showed up later but everything was installed OK. The cost includes 3 monthly payments up front. Would recommended.

We've been customers of Protection One (indirectly, through a couple other companies they've acquired) for almost 10 years, and this was our first service call. They arrived on time (30 minutes into a two-hour window), had the system up and running in minutes, and had all the work done in about an hour. We have a monitoring contract with them, so there was no charge for any of the service. We'd had to reschedule the appointment once, and they did this cheerfully, with no problem. Great job!
Description of Work: We had a lightening strike on our house, which knocked out the alarm system. In addition to fixing this problem, they installed two new keypads to replace our older ones, and moved a wireless motion detector from one location to another in a room, to allow us to place a new piece of furniture where we wanted it.

PRICE INCLUDES FIRST 3 MONTHS OF SERVICE. THE EMPLOYEES WERE VERY PROMPT. TOOK ABOUT 4 HOURS FOR TWO PEOPLE TO REWIRE, CONNECT AND TEST SYSTEM. COULD HAVE SPENT MORE TIME EXPLAINING HOW THE SYSTEM WORKED. OVERALL WAS VERY PLEASED, ESPECIALLY FOR THE REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS I WASN'T CHARGED FOR.
Description of Work: RECONNECTED EXISTING SYSTEM. ADDED SEVERAL SENSORS AND TWO KEY FOBS. REPLACED EXISTING SYSTEM PANEL AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE IT HAD ELECTRICAL DAMAGE. REPLACED DAMAGED SMOKE DETECTOR AT NO CHARGE.

PROTECTION ONE HAS BEEN GREAT. WE HAVE BEEN CUSTOMERS FOR YEARS AND WITH THE LIFETIME MOVE PROGRAM AT NO CHARGE, WE WILL CONTINUE. THANK YOU PROTECTION ONE.
Description of Work: CALLED TO CHECK ABOUT ADDING A WATERBUG ALARM FOR THE SUMP PUMP TO THE HOME ALARM SYSTEM. THE RESIDENTIAL SECURITY CONSULTANT CAME TO OUR HOME TO MAKE SURE WE HAD THE WIRING TO CONNECT FOR THE WATERBUG. SINCE WE HAD PROTECTION ONE MONITORING BEFORE OUR MOVE, PROTECTION ONE INSTALLED OUR NEW HOME ALARM SYSTEM AT NO CHARGE AT OUR NEW RESIDENCE. THEN PROTECTION ONE CAME OUT AT A LATER DATE TO INSTALL THE WATERBUG ALARM ALSO AT NO CHARGE.

THE SALESMAN WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL, MAYBE IT WAS THE TIME OF DAY WE MET WITH HIM BUT HIS PERSONALITY WAS A LITTLE ROUGH. HOWEVER WE WENT WITH HIM BECAUSE HE WAS QUITE HONEST ON WHAT WE NEEDED AND WHAT WE DID NOT. THE PRICE WAS VERY REASONABLE AND GAVE US A DISCOUNT ON THE INSTALLATION FEE. THE INSTALLER WAS ON TIME, AND WAS VERY THOROUGH IN HIS WORK. WE WOULD RECOMMEND YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS COMPANY. WE HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH THE WORK AND SERVICE
Description of Work: THEY PUT IN A NEW ALARM SYSTEM IN OUR HOME.

HAVING AN OLDER HOME I WAS IMPRESSED BY THEIR ATTENTION TO COSMETIC ISSUES. FOR EXAMPLE PROTECTING THE HARD WOOD FLOORS AND THE WALLS. WITH OUT CHARGING EXTRA THEY UPGRADED TO A WIRELESS MOTION DETECTOR. RUNNING WIRES WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE INTRUSIVE. THEY HAD A PARTICULAR CELLULAR BACK UP (IF THE PHONE LINES ARE DOWN). THE MONITORING COST IS ABOUT $25 PER MONTH.
Description of Work: COMPLETE NEW INSTALLATION OF A MONITORED SECURITY SYSTEM. BOTH MOTION SENSORS AND WINDOW & DOOR SENSORS.
