It?s been pretty good with them. The installation went well. What I like the most is that you can use their app to remotely arm and disarm the system.
Description of Work: They installed their security components into our existing security system.

It has been a year and a half since the system was installed. Both the sales rep and install rep were professional, courteous and extremely helpful. In addition, every time I have called customer service my questions are answered by knowledgeable reps that are kind and helpful. I appreciate their service!
Description of Work: Contacted customer service on numerous occasions.

We kept receiving lights on our security systems conrol panel indicating a particular zone was disabled. We had already been giving some thought to changing from ADT to another alarm monitoring company and went on Angie's list to search for a company that had excellent reviews from other Angie List members, and was local to our area. When I called Guardian Security Systems, I spoke directly with the company's owner, Steve Hudgins. After speaking with Steve I was more than convinced his company was the right one for finding out why we kept losing zones in our system and also was the company I wanted to go with for our future monitoring needs. Steve assigned Ron Escamilla to come to our home on July 3 to perform the work we had agreed on. While Ron was at our home completing the work, he discovered the reason for our losing the zones in our security system in the first place was due to squirrels in the attic. Apparently the squirrels had chewed thru several of the alarm wires. In fact Ron came face to face with a squirrel while in our attic. To make a long story short, we had to get rid of the squirrels before we could continue with fixing all of the alarm issues. Now the squirrels are gone, Ron will be returning to complete the work. I can't say enough about the professionalism of this company from the owner and the people that work for him. What I really like about dealing with Guardian Security Systems, is when I call, I always get a call right back from either Steve or Ron. Ron was able to fix the zones the squirrels had chewed the wires on with wireless connections, while keeping the hard wired zones that were still functional in place. Also having the wireless capabilty now, allows us to expand to new zones quite easly. If anyone is thinking about either installing a new security system or upgrading an existing one, I would strongly recommend Guardian Security Systems. You will not be disappointed.
Description of Work: Upgraded existing security system from a totally hard wired system to a combination of hard wired and wireless system. In addition changed the security system for notifying the company which monitors the alarm system from a land line to a celluar line.

Response from Guardian Security Systems
(Member name removed), I had not seen your post on Angie's List until recently. It makes me feel so good when I read your wonderful review. When I started Guardian in 1985, I wanted to give the best possible service. In that way, I could keep the customer happy and they would likely stay with us. I strived to do just that. Your great review confirms that we achieved our goal. Good Luck to you and I hope to meet you in person some day. Steve Hudgins

I appreciated that the sales person informed me of the fact that the contract will auto renewal if you do not give the 60 or 90 days notice (I forget off the top of my head the exact time frame) at the end of the contract. I marked it on my calendar so that I could make a decision at that time. We will be staying with Guardian - the few issues we have had were taken care of promptly.
Description of Work: Updated an existing system that was in the house we purchased. Sales person was knowledgable and gave me suggestions. No problem using the coupon from Angie's List that I found after the fact.

I did do some research on my own and almost every alarm company had a common complaint regarding the fact that you are locked into a contract and then it automatically renews on the anniversay date if you do not give a notice (the # of days required for the notice is either 30 or 60 days) . We signed a 2-year contract with Guardian and I have marked my on-line calendar to remind me when the renewal period is close - at that time I am going to request a month - to -month contract. I don't know if they will do that, we will find out at that time. The sales person was very informative and explained various alarm options that we could chose from. I found the Angie's list coupon AFTER I had talked with him and they had no problem honoring the coupon after the fact. The few times we have called customer service with questions or issues, we have always been satisfied with the service and have no complaints.
Description of Work: Salesperson did a good job in explaining the Alarm options and services. They honored the Angie's List coupon, no problem.

Solved my problem and were great to work with. The $240 is my annual monitoring fee.
Description of Work: They installed the security system in my home and monitor it currently. When we first moved in we had an alarm that would not stop going off all day driving me crazy. Our system was not being monitored at the time. I call them and they came out right away. They fixed the problem and taught me about my alarm. They have monitored it ever since and have be great to work with. They are local and when I called they responded with personal service.
