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.

Eric from Toledo goes the extra mile to ensure your devices are connected & everything works properly! Even after he left, he was back in 20 minutes to fix an unusual glitch that was due to a new update on the phone app. Superior service!! Guardian Alarm has always given us the best professional service, in every way, the anyone could ever hope for! Have been using them for many years.

They sent a few text messages through the week to notify appointment. Once the day of appointment was here, they called and confirmed the 1 to 2 hour window they were showing up. 30 minutes before they called to make sure we were still home and ready for their arrival. They showed up and fixed the problem within 10/20 minutes.

- great communication
- great service

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Donald! We're happy to hear you had a positive experience with our team!

We’ve had a series’s of updates needed due to switching wifi companies. Finally guardian sent Collin K. who was amazing, Knowledgeable and able to solve our problem.
We had other techs out who were unable to resolve our issues and needed to escalate for a senior tech.
Collin I was able to troubleshoot our panels and cameras and Wi-Fi! He knew what At&T needed to change and called with me. Experience was amazing.

Response from the owner:We're thrilled to hear Collin was able to step in, diagnose the problem and get your system running smoothly again. Thank you for recognizing his expertise and for sticking with Guardian Alarm through the process! We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a positive review, Monica!

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.

TJ was very professional and knowledgeable of my upgrade. He went through the process of showing me how to operate my new system and explained how it works. Also he was very respectful enough to remove his shoes when he entered my home and I would very much like to thank him for showing me that he cares.
Thank you again!
