My mother also purchased a system for her home. Both were installed as promised and when my mother experienced some problems, they came out twice to make adjustments at no charge. Both systems now work well and we are very pleased.
Description of Work: We purchased a home security system and had it installed in late November 2013.

We were always treated rudely and the problem was never resolved. Larry was extremely rude to the point I would no longer deal with his attitude at which point my husband contacted him. Our alarm was not working properly and going off for no reason. We would not even receive a call from anyone after the alarm would go off to make sure things were okay as they are suppose to do. After 3 service calls, added equipment that did not work, the alarm was never fixed and they wanted us to pay for the repeater they added that did not fix anything. We were paying a monthly fee for an alarm that did not work and they would not and could not fix it. We are through with this company and have now switched to Carnation Security. They have removed all of SOS's equipment and we are now happy to say we have a system that works and keeps us and our home safe. Long story short, DO NOT choose SOS if you want an alarm that works and customer service!
Description of Work: Awful company, awful service. Larry is very rude and treats you with no respect. If you are looking for a security company DO NOT go with SOS. Run far far away. Our alarm would go off and no one would ever call to make sure things were okay. Also, problems with their equipment working properly. After 2 years with this company and nothing but trouble we are now happy to have gotten rid of ALL of their equipment and have a new company that treats you with respect and has A+ service!

I really liked the customer service they provided for me when I used them. They would call you whenever a alarm went off and they would tell you exactly what the problem was. They seemed to keep up on your service you would get reminders about the batteries when they were low. I would give them A's across the board. They are a great company very friendly staff and customer service. I would recommend them to others I may reconsider using them in the future.
Description of Work: SOS Security Systems is who I used for Fifteen years at my old home for our home security system. November was when I stopped my service.
