I've been with them for 5 or 6 years now. I am satisfied with the services they provide. They are very professional. They render a quality service.

I have had a bad customer service experience with them as described above. Furthermore, I have had numerous false alarms with them where the motion detector goes off and no one is in the house, etc. I have not been pleased at all.
Description of Work: I have been a customer with Guardian since 2001. In 2011, we hit hard times and had to relocate to a new state for a new job. We wanted to keep a security system since we were new to the area and not sure about safety. Apparently, when I signed the relocation agreement (which I thought was approval for them to activate the equipment that already existed in the new home), I was signing a new 36-month contract. We are now trying to cut back on our budget a bit and wanted to cancel our service with them, only to find out that we were in a binding agreement for the next 25 months. The early termination fee is also unreasonable...it is equal to the remainder of the contract. Most early termination fees are equal to a portion of the remaining contract, since the services would no longer be provided. After 10 years of being a loyal customer and paying them what amounts to over $3,000, I am shocked that they wouldn't do anything to work with me, put me on a cheaper monthly payment or something like that. Heck, BANKS are better than this! I just think people need to know that Guardian Protection Services had no empathy for my personal situation, even after they heard my story and understood that I needed to get out of this contract for budgetary reasons. At times like this, when people are struggling, I have lost respect for this company who had no concern for the little guy.

I got their name through Angie's List. I am pleased with their responsiveness and followup. I had some issues with their contacts but they sent someone out to fix that. They may cost a little more but you get some quality service from them.
Description of Work: I accidentally set off the alarm and they called me up on the intercom to make sure everything is alright.

I am satisfied with the service of Guardian Protection Services and they are very responsive. I can call them and they can check the alarms from remote connection. I had some windows put in and a door. They came to redo the connection and they are good about such things.
Description of Work: I use Guardian Protection Services to service the alarms. I have been using them for past 3 years and they had installed the alarm system initially.

I was very pleased with there work. I was not interested in wireless system, but this company had wire system as well which I took and that's one reason I liked them. I was very pleased with everything and that they had both systems. I would recommend them.

The system was deactivated but had been put in about 10 years prior. They were very honest about their pricing and their different options. I was pleased with them. I have not had experience with any other security system provider to compare them to.
Description of Work: I used Guardian Protection Services for my alarm system after my father passed away and I was living by myself. I called and they were very good, they came down, modernized everything, and just made it a very easy transaction. They looked around the house and gave me what I felt was the best security options for my money.

We don't have any issues with them. They call periodically to make sure the alarm is working, and to see if we have any issues. The overall experience is excellent. The price and quality are excellent. I will continue to use this provider.

I have been using them for about 10 years. They charged $100 for installation and monthly it is around $58. Because when I walk by and set off the alarms which I do, they always call and they are very very nice. They do not get upset with me if it is a false alarm or anything like that. They are very professional.

Very smoothly. The sales person Steve was responsive, the work was scheduled wjhen I wanted it, the installer showed up on time and copleted the work efficiently.
Description of Work: I had ADT previously and their costs kept rising, as did the cost of the phone line. Guardian provided a new control panel, board, additional window sensors, a CO sensor, and an airlink (cellular technology so Icould eliminate the phone). Steve the sales person was very good, as was the installer. Net, I am saving more than $200 / year while having added protection.

They were here on time and all the prices were the same that we were quoted. They did a great job installing. They took the time to explain the system to my wife and I. The installation was free. We pay a monthly fee. I would recommend them to everyone.

We have been with him for so long. We wouldn't have used him, if we weren't satisfied. We haven't had any needs to use their services for a long time. They deducted the money for the battery from the total we paid them. We pay them in three months. They sent us the battery through US Mail. We haven't had any problem with the service. They are very good. We like them. We have been with them for so long that our customer service number is 3-digit. They would send a representative if there was something that needed to be dealt with.
Description of Work: We bought a battery from Guardian Protection Service Inc for our alarm backup system. We have been using his service since 1986.
