WE RECEIVED SERVICE THE SAME WEEK. THEY CAME OUT ON A FRIDAY EVENING FOR OUR CONVENIENCE. THEY GAVE US THE SIGN AND STICKERS FOR OUR HOME BEFORE THE ALARM WAS INSTALLED.

I HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE ORIGINAL INSTALLATION, INCLUDING SLOPPY WORK, AND LOOSE WIRES. I CALLED THE MANAGEMENT, AND THEY IMMEDIATELY CAME OUT TO REVIEW THE WORK, AGREED THAT IT WAS BELOW STANDARDS, AND CORRECTED THE ISSUES AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. I APPRECIATED THEIR REASONABLE & EFFICIENT RESPONSE WHEN I HAD A COMPLAINT.

IN ALL WAYS, THIS IS A MOST PROFESSIONAL COMPANY. THEY WERE THE MOST RESPONSIVE AND COMPETITIVE OF THE THREE FIRMS SELECTED FROM ANGIE'S LIST TO BID ON THE REPLACEMENT ALARM SYSTEM. THEIR PERFORMANCE WAS HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THEIR COMPETITORS. KIRK BOOHER, THEIR REPRESENTITIVE, KNOWS HIS PRODUCT WELL AND PRESENTS IT MOST COMPLETELY. THE INSTALLATION WAS AS PROPOSED, ON TIME AND FAULTLESS. WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND THEM.

THEY INSTALLED OUR SECURITY SYSTEM AND MOTION DETECTORS VERY WELL. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THE SIREN WENT OFF ONE TIME, WITHOUT HAVING SET IT, WHICH MUST HAVE BEEN DUE TO A MALFUNCTION.

GUARDIAN PROVIDED AN EFFICIENT DESIGN FOR OUR OLD HOUSE. THEY WERE ABLE TO REUSE OLD WIRING AND DETECTOR FROM THE PREVIOUS ALARM SYSTEM WHICH WAS NOT GUARDIAN. I WAS PLEASED BY THAT AND THOUGHT IT WAS VERY HONEST OF THEM TO DO THAT.

AFTER OUR HOME WAS FINISHED, THEY CAME AND INSTALLED MOTION DETECTORS AND SENSORS AND KEYPADS, PLUS ACTIVATED THE SYSTEM. THE TECHNICIAN WAS ON TIME AND MADE SURE WE KNEW HOW TO WORK THE SYSTEM. HE COMMUNICATED VERY WELL. HE GAVE US EXTRA STICKERS AND HINTS ON HOW TO DETER THIEVES. HE MADE US FEEL VERY SAFE. HE CLEANED UP AFTER HIMSELF AND KEPT HIS TOOLS ON A TOWEL (VERY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU HAVE JUST REDONE WOOD FLOORS!).
Description of Work: THEY CAME TO THE HOUSE PRIOR TO PLASTERING AND TALKED TO US ABOUT WHERE WE WANTED ALARMS AND HOW MUCH SECURITY WAS NECESSARY. WE PLANNED THE SYSTEM TOGETHER.

MY INITIAL EXPERIENCE WITH GUARDIAN WAS A POSITIVE ONE, HOWEVER, THAT CHANGED VERY QUICKLY. AFTER THE TECH LEFT MY HOUSE, I RECEIVED A COPY OF A CONTRACT IN THE MAIL. THE CONTRACT TERM WAS FOR 3 YEARS. I NEVER AGREED TO THESE TERMS. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND TALKED TO A SUPERVISOR AND THE TERM WAS LOWERED TO 1 YEAR.
Description of Work: ON 5.30.03, MY FAMILY PURCHASED OUR FIRST HOME. I DISCOVERED THAT THE HOUSE HAD A SECURITY SYSTEM INSTALLED. GUARDIAN CAME AND REACTIVATED THE SYSTEM.

WE WANTED AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR AND THE SALESPERSON WOULD ONLY DO IT IF WE SIGNED UP FOR THEIR MONITORING SERVICE. WE TOLD THEM UP FRONT IT WAS A REPAIR ONLY. THEY SENT A SALESPERSON TO TRY TO GET US TO BUY THE MONITORING SERVICE, BEFORE THEY WOULD DO A REPAIR.

THE SALESMAN DIDNT REALLY TALK ABOUT THE HARDWIRED SYSTEM SO I THOUGHT THE PRODUCT WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE PERSON WHO CAME TO INSTALL THE SYSTEM TOLD ME ABOUT THE HARDWIRED SYSTEM (WHICH I HAD BEFORE.) HE SAID HE COULD INSTALL IT AND IT WOULD NOT COST MUCH MORE AND SAVE ME FROM HAVING TO CHANGE BATTERIES. I WAS SO HAPPY WITH THIS INFORMATION FROM THE SERVICE TECH.
