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 just had an alarm and camera system installed at my home and the process couldn't have been smoother. Mitchell and James were both top-notch installation technicians. They were kind, competent, knowledgeable, and patient. I particularly enjoyed their attention to detail on installation, taking care to not harm any of the fixtures and finishes on my home, and making sure devices are secured, level, and installed properly. I was shown how everything works on the panel, and I was given a tutorial on how to use the phone and app resources as well. 10/10

Response from the owner:Thank you for the incredible feedback, Jeff! We're thrilled to hear that Mitchell and James provided such professional and detail-oriented service. We're so glad the process was smooth from start to finish and that you're enjoying your new system!
