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

We have found the Guardian monitoring to be acceptable. Our interface with Kate Starr to be most professional.

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!

My "installation" was rather simple. Having been a customer already, I only needed to have my system reactivated. For those that don't know, it's a simple process of going through the panel to establish the connection with the monitoring and calibrating the cameras. After that you test the system and you're off.
My technician was Justin. A knowledgable nice guy who knows his stuff and made the process go by quick. If I were to require any technicians to come out for any reason in the future, I'd request him and be happy to wait whatever time was needed. A lot of people may know how to do the job but not everyone is great at customer service. He is.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback1! We're glad to hear Justin made the reactivation process quick and smooth while delivering excellent customer service. We appreciate your trust in Guardian!

Justin V was an amazing technician! He was on time, diagnosed the problem quickly and replaced the radio that was having issues. He was polite and cordial and knowledgeable, as well. He answered all of the questions about our system and any future upgrades that we had. Highly recommend having him out if you are having issues with the alarm system.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful feedback, Mike. We're thrilled to hear that Justin provided prompt, knowledgeable, and courteous service. We're glad he was able to quickly resolve the issue and take the time to answer all your questions. We truly appreciate the recommendation!
