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.”

“Guardian Alarm has a great reputation in security monitoring services,” said Doug and Sandy Huey. “Since we started Executive Security Consultants (ESC), our goal has always been to deliver the best technology and reliable services to our customers. Guardian Alarm has demonstrated they share this vision and will continue this legacy under their ownership.”

“This acquisition in the Columbus market will provide Guardian Alarm with a strong market presence and will allow us to serve more customers in this growing area. As we continue our aggressive growth strategy to increase subscribers and revenue, our existing and future customers will benefit from the expanded services and technology,” Uhl said.

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!

Natalie in sales was beyond amazing! Usually when you call big companies you get a robot or someone who seems like they really don’t care. Natalie was so personable and helped my husband get everything in order. If you want a company that you can talk to REAL, local people who care, use guardian

Response from the owner:Thank you for the amazing feedback, Charlotte! WE're so glad to hear that Natalie provided such a personable and caring experience. Our team takes pride in offering real, local support, and it's wonderful to know that came through. We'll be sure to share your kind words with her!
