On 4 September 2014, the salesman provided a quote for services. When I objected to the extravagant prices and 'contract' term, the salesman made adjustments. The salesman also stated that he guaranteed that 8 September, a satisfactory installation timetable would be provided. It is 15 September and I have not received an installation date. This is placing my safety and property in danger. A call to Guardian corporate headquarters was fruitless: the representatives place me on hold, told contradictory stories, then promised to 'try' to schedule an installation appointment. THIS FIRM IS A DISASTER -- STAY AWAY! They clearly are not to be entrusted with life and property protection.
Description of Work: This provider is a fraud. The salesman made material commitments to induce a sale, then failed to follow-up. Stay away.

I am under contract with Guardian and therefore every time we move we have to renew our contract or pay hundreds of dollars to get out of the contract. Hopefully one day I can be outside a contract with them so I can cancel. The Angie's list rating is a complete sham the company requests / requires you to fill out an Angie's list form to provide feedback on your installer. If you try to provide good feedback on your installer then Guardian gets a good rating on Agnie's list. I believe this to be very misleading. I've had guardian now in 3 homes an every time it takes at a minimum of 4 -5 calls to get the security system up and running properly or turned off at the prior home, billing issues etc. The installers are always very nice and do a good job, clean up etc. the actual company is terrible to work with. I believe Angie's list should review how this company incorrectly reports their 'A' rating. I've now called 4 times to turn off my previous home after this move, we're still having issues with how the new system is working at the new home I anticipate at least 3 more calls to get this all sorted. I do not consider this to good service.
Description of Work: Guardian provides home security systems - DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE A RATING!!! The company has you fill out an Angie's list form to provide feedback on your installer!
