Guardian Alarm announces the acquisition of Executive Security Consultants in Columbus, OH

Established in 1988 by Doug and Sandy Huey, Executive Security Consultants (ESC) provides residential and commercial alarm services in the greater Columbus area. Together, they worked countless hours to ensure they were providing peace of mind to their customers. This acquisition continues this legacy as both companies provide exemplary, personalized customer service, but also have a family-like culture that exists within their teams.

“Guardian Alarm has been serving the Columbus market for many years and we look forward to welcoming the employees and customers of Executive Security Consultants,” said Brent Uhl, President and Chief Executive Officer of Guardian Alarm. “Executive Security Consultants has delivered reliable customer service in the Columbus metro area for over thirty years. With this merger, we will be able to expand their services to include fire and alarm services to area businesses and municipalities.”

I switched from a well known alarm company after 20 plus years. Was not there when I needed them after family safety was compromised. Slow response.
Went with local company serving Michigan and Ohio. Mitchell and Travis and other employee did an excellent job installing equipment and explaining how to use it. Wish I changed companies sooner. I highly recommend Guardian Alarm.

Adam R. did a fantastic job at installing my parent’s home security system. He was professional and courteous and took time to explain the installation. He went the extra mile to help them.

I recently had my security installed by Tim K from Guardian Alarm, and I could not be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, Tim was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. He took the time to understand exactly what I needed, explained every option clearly, and made sure I felt completely comfortable with the system before he left.

What stood out most was Tim’s genuine care and attention. He didn’t treat the installation like just another appointment - he treated it like an opportunity to make sure my home and family were protected. His patience and expertise made the whole process smooth and stress-free

If you’re considering a security system, I highly recommend asking for Tim.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words, Nicole! We appreciate you sharing such thoughtful feedback for Tim. It means a lot to know he helped make the process smooth and stress-free. Thank you for choosing Guardian Alarm!
