Description of Work: Protection took over our service from a vendor that had gone out of business. They updated our system and made it wireless. We had them install a couple of cameras in addition to the system we already had in place. Those cameras have been a source of frustration since they were installed. They have not worked more than they have worked. They could not program our remote devices to work with their system even though they had assured us that they could before we paid them and signed the contract. The only way we can arm the system when we leave the house is with out cell phones. The connection is VERY slow and takes forever to arm or disarm. The monthly fee is much more than we paid previously and I would not complain except for the connection difficulties. | |Would I use them again? I really do not know. I would shop around first to see how others view their system. I definitely would stay with a local system though.

It went very well, they cleaned up after themselves, did everything that the sales rep promised he would do, and made sure we were completely comfortable with our new system before they left. We have used other alarm companies before, and usually take what salesmen say with a grain of salt, but they asked us to put faith in them, and they would show us what a great company they were. We did, and were blown away...I will be recommending them to my friends and family.
Description of Work: Protection 1 was able to install a new home security system with video cameras and a medical alert pendant for my mother. The sales rep and installer were kind, through, and helpful. They only charged me $99 to install everything, and we feel better about my mother being home by herself from now on.

Be careful. I filled out a form on Angie's list for further information from Protection 1.I was contacted by telephone by a sales representative. I later found out this was not an employee of Protection 1 but was an online sales rep. He took my order for an alarm system. I purchased from Protection 1 because it is a local company and they install the system. When they installed the system, it was not the system described to me and cost $191.50 more than the quoted price. When I tried to call the rep. that sold it to me, all I got was a recorded message and he never returned my call. When the local protection 1 sales manager called he left a message for him to call him and also me. He told me he would contact me after he heard from him. I never received a return call from either. I bought from this company because I wanted a professionally installed system. Unfortunately Protection 1 would not honor the Angie's list price quote.st
Description of Work: I purchased an home alarm system which was installed in my home by Protection1 company to replace an older system from another company.

After a complaint filed with Angie's list i received a call form a company Rep, named Gloria. She was very patient, Pleasant, listened, and explained procedures and possible cause of disagreement. The entire matter was settled over the phone. I do appreciate how a large nation wide company took time to investigate my complaint and call to arrange a settlement. My Thanks to Gloria for listening and understanding our side of the story. B. Grundish

THE REPAIRMAN WAS VERY NICE AND ON TIME. THE ALARM COMPANY HAD NEEDED TO DO A LINE CHECK AS THEY HAD UPGRADED THEIR SYSTEM. WE HAD A BROKEN FACE PLATE ON A SENSOR AND THE REPAIRMAN REPLACED IT. HE DID NOT HAVE TO, IT WAS NOT PART OF HIS WORK ORDER, BUT HE SAID HE DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT ABOUT LEAVING IT BROKEN. HE DID NOT CHARGE US FOR IT.
Description of Work: PERFORMED LINE CHECK AND INSTALLED NEW SENSORS.
