First, the sales folks completely oversold their system. We wanted some cameras and NONE were able to connect because of wireless distance issues. Second, they then installed a number of smoke detectors, CO2, and glass breakage detectors throughout the house. The two controllers had significant difficulty communicating with one another. Since we both work long hours, it was hard to find a window (or several windows) that they could come to service the system. Third, when one of the glass breakage systems became inop, they could never (or were really unwilling) to find a window to service it. We eventually disconnected it ... to which they appear to NOT have a record in a subsequent service issue! The fact that they do not have record of this is disturbing since they had to walk us through the disconnection process. Finally, we had a door open detection problem while we were out of town. The service folks were rude (extremely rude) to our house sitter such that she would rather manually ignore the open-door alarm than have these folks service it. Upon our upcoming return we will completely discard this system in favor of another. Bottom Line: AVOID Guardian Protection Service at all cost!

Hi {Member name removed}, Customer service is a focus to Guardian and so we are glad you took the time to share your concerns with us. I am sorry that you had trouble scheduling an appointment with our service department. I assure you that our service and customer care departments have tried many times to accommodate your needs, but because of technicians’ schedules that is not always immediately possible. I was glad to hear that your system was serviced yesterday. Please let us know if there is anything else we can to fulfill your needs. Sincerely, Katelyn Customer Satisfaction Advocate Guardian Protection Services

I do have concern about signing the document, Interactive Update Addendum , as is. I need to speak with Tim 20778. Upon receiving the document you sent to me to sign, I did have concerns and questions and needed answers. Debbie who I spoke with on 24 July, had access to the Update Addendum and added devices that I wanted included in the contract. I was ready to make my decision to equipment upgrade and the monthly monitoring contract fee. However, when I spoke with Ashley on 27 Jul, she said the Thermostat is not listed in the document that was email to me. I insisted that it is because I have a printed copy of the document but she continued to insist that it is not include and listed. To my dismay, I was really frustrated and very disappointed because I really wanted to continue and stay with Guardian Protection for my home security. So, it is very important that I speak to Tim 20778 and better yet for him to email me. no one contacted me with this email.
Description of Work: guardian sent a contract tecnichian to clear mermory problem in my key pad panel. but then then i found out the key fob no longer works. that means I am not able to arm or disarm my home security system remotely.
