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 had three doors replaced in my house and garage. I haven’t painted the trim yet but the alarm sensors had to be reinstalled. The service technician Mike did a great job. He was prompt, courteous and professional.
I couldn’t ask for better service.
Hopefully Mike gets some recognition for his fine work.

Roman G.

Thanks for the guidance of our new system. I am enjoying the features of our updated alarm system. I thought I understood the quiick arm feature but I guess I prefer the words quick arm on the alarm like the older model. However, it is fairly rasy to use. John was very helpful.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the positive feedback, Roman! We're happy to hear your installation went smoothly and that Justin took great care of you. We appreciate you choosing Guardian!

We recently had Tim K. from Guardian Alarm visit our home for a thorough system check. He arrived punctually, exuded professionalism, and displayed a deep understanding of the security system he was working with. Tim took the time to explain each step of the installation process, providing detailed descriptions of how everything would function. He even offered personal tutorials on how to operate each component. We’ve consistently been satisfied with Guardian Alarm and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable security system.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful review, Sheri! We're so glad to hear that Tim provided punctual, professional service and took the time to thoroughly explain your system and its features. We appreciate your recommendation!

Ive had Guardian for years; but, I took personal interest after a couple of life changing challenges. They came out, reviewed my system, we made a few tweaks. Customer service is great! I have the direct number for management, if needed.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience, Susan! We appreciate your long-time loyalty and your kind words about our customer service. We're glad our team could support you by reviewing and updating your system!
