    On Saturday December 17, 2016 I had an appointment for a tech to come to my home and reinstall our thermostat. A week prior I had a brand new HVAC system installed. The company did not know how to program the thermostat so they put their own thermostat in. When the Guardian tech came out to reinstall the thermostat he didn't turn off the breaker and blew a fuse. He then went into the new HVAC system and opened up the system VOIDING the warranty to an $8000 system. The tech told me "There is no power going to the red wire. You'll have to call the company to fix it." I explained to him that the heater was working the night before and the AC was on that morning. Because the temperature was supposed to drop down to 29 degrees that night, and I have a 4 month old in the home I had no choice but to call a tech from the HVAC company (Radiant) to come out.

    The guardian tech spoke to the HVAC tech on the phone to explain what happened but when they were speaking the Guardian tech took the phone outside so that I couldn't hear what was being said. When the HVAC tech got to our house he stated that the fuse was definitely blown because the Guardian tech did not turn off the breaker when he changed the thermostat and that when he spoke to the Guardian tech on the phone earlier that day the Guardian tech told him the system was not working when he arrived to program the thermostat. LIE. I had to pay the HVAC tech $440 for an on call Saturday visit.

    While he was there we called customer service and explained the situation (This guy is AMAZING). The HVAC tech got on the phone and asked for the customer service rep to record his phone call. Everything was explained to the customer service rep. We confirmed again that the call was being recorded and saved to my file for the investigation. I emailed pictures of the blown fuses and a copy of the receipt to Guardian @ custserv@gpsx.net Attention Carlos **.

    Today is January 18th. I have called every Monday and Friday for the first three weeks of this issue. Last week I called three times. This week I have called 2 times. The only answer I've gotten from anyone is "This is still being investigated." I asked to be let out of my contract because I REFUSE to go through this again. They came back to me with "We can give you a $5 a month discount." I CAN'T USE THEIR EQUIPMENT!!! I don't want them back in my house because they broke my BRAND NEW HVAC, voided the warranty AND refuse to reimburse me the cost of the repair!!!

    I had to ask a customer service rep 4 times yesterday to get a supervisor on the phone. I was told they are VERY busy. When I wouldn't take that lame excuse I was told Supervisor "John" will call me by the end of the day, and if he doesn't his extension is **. Well, of course Supervisor John has not called me back. I called and left another message.

    I am a single mom. I was out $440 right before Christmas because of this company. They refuse to reimburse me. They voided a warranty for a HVAC that was only a week old at the time. I refuse to have them back in my house because I can't afford to pay for the mistakes THEY MAKE. I WANT MY $$ and I want out of this sorry contract!!!

    To top it off this isn't the first time I had issues with this system or the installation of the thermostat!! When I moved in November 2014 it took them 'till April to come out and reinstall the equipment. AGAIN it was a NIGHTMARE. The AC or heat would not turn on. We had to suffer with no HVAC for a week because when it was programmed the tech didn't check to see if it actually worked. The second time they came out they only checked the heat. It worked but the AC didn't. I had to call them AGAIN to come out to fix it and they just didn't have an opening in their schedule. I literally had to YELL at someone to get out to our home and get the AC to work. Whatever you do DON'T do business with this company!!

    I availed of Guardian's services for my safety. As a single person living in a house, it's better to obviously have that protection. John was my sales agent at the very beginning and the appointment went fine but he could have done a better job at explaining what I was signing up for. It wasn't until much later that I found out from somebody else that I signed up for a five-year contract. Once I got it to his attention, he sent me an email with a different contract for three years and that was it. But the Guardian installation guy was cool. He was very good, quick, thorough and helped me walk through the website. Overall, I'm satisfied with the service.

    The items that were mentioned to my wife and me was the main factor for us to make the decision on getting the service from Guardian Protection Services. The sales rep was very good. At first I was very skeptic because I didn’t know who he was. But after I checked on the internet and verified he was legit, everything went smooth. If anybody needs a security system, I would definitely give them Guardian's number. I’m very happy with the service.

    A couple of impostors came and said they were from Monitronics. At that time we had Monitronics and they said they came to update some older equipment. But after it was all over and done with, we found out that it was a different company. They didn't mention anything about Guardian until they were walking out of the house and they didn't leave me any information, no paperwork or anything, as they were leaving. It turned into a mess and I haven't straightened it out. Then I just had Monitronics come, demanded their account back and was determined to get it. They told me that they had bought out the Guardian contract. I felt they led me to believe that that was the right thing to do so we went with that. So we had a couple of months that we were back with Monitronics and not with Guardian.

    We were going with that then until I got a call from Guardian or AMP, rather saying that Monitronics did not and would not buy out the contract. So we're back with Guardian because Monitronics refused to buy back the contract because it was such a new contract - too much money involved. Then, we were advised to go back with Guardian because Monitronics didn't want to buy the contract back, we'd be better off going back with Guardian.

    Therefore, on January 2nd, Max, from AMP came and put in another monitor. In the process of Monitronics coming back in the second time, they ended up taking the monitor that was at the house with them when they left. We were out a Guardian's monitor. We still have one of Monitronics' monitor in the house that they asked me to send back to them. But before I can send it back to them, they have to send me packaging and a label to send it back. I haven't heard anything more from Monitronics about it.

    I had an invoice in the mail for the $54.81, and another letter that stated that Guardian couldn't get into my bank account. They couldn't get into it because of the mess-up and I have been charged over $400 through my back account for the mix-up to both companies that was unnecessary. So, I had to sign papers to keep anybody from taking anything more from my bank account.

    I have to go to the bank to make the bank release the bank account so Guardian can go ahead and bill the monthly bill to the bank account versus sending it in the mail. I have until February 26th, 24th or something like that to get the payment in. Then when I got the bank statement, I realized that Guardian had tried to go through the bank account and, of course, it had been blocked. I blocked that on purpose because it was just so much going in from both companies through my bank account. This will be the last contract we'll have with any security system. But I would recommend Guardian when it comes to the security service it provides.

    We got the video monitoring from Guardian Protection Services because the bedroom is upstairs and we can't see the front of the house from there. We also have the fire alarm because our dog is home during the day and we would hate for a fire to happen since he cannot get out. It was simple and easy to get everything set up and their services have been great. Also, the installer was really nice, on-time and cleaned up after the work was done.

    Guardian Protection Services came with the house upon purchase. We had a pre-wiring meeting with the Guardian rep and the builder and they went over what we wanted in the home. The rep gave me a rundown of what Guardian offered, what services they could provide, how much it would cost, and gave a lot of information about the entire process of how the integration of the home and the Guardian would be. My interaction with the rep went well and we selected what we wanted and they included that in the bill.

    Everybody in Guardian was most helpful and even the people who did the full installation made sure that the connections were uploaded for the call center and whatnot. Everything was taken care of very professionally. I moved in on December 16th and my service didn't get turned on until maybe Monday. I've been using the mobile app and it's very intuitive but I'm still getting familiar with the product. My experience with Guardian has been great so far.

    We got the alarm system from Guardian Protection Services and their sales rep was very knowledgeable and nice whenever he was explaining stuff to me. We had the same guy come out and hook up a sound system but he said that the speakers we had wired for the outside so we could listen to music when we're gonna put a pool in wouldn't work with just the one box. We purchased it so everything would work but he said that it wouldn't with what we got. So, I put a note on the paperwork so when it got back to the office someone would see it. I just wish I would have gotten a call back about not being able to use the outside speakers by now. Other than that, everything has been fine so far.

    1I got Guardian installed through Spectracom which is a reseller. I got the monitoring and sensors but the main issue was I wanted the fire monitoring in case I was away. I'm satisfied with the service so far. The Spectracom people were really nice and answered all of our questions and when I had a follow-up call with a Guardian rep about a billing question, we had a really quick but fine interaction. The bill was higher than I remembered it was going to be because it was prorated for an additional month. So it was fine and exactly what it was supposed to be.

    Also, the installer was really good. He tried hard to get it in an ideal spot. There were some stuff in the way so he couldn't get it there so he put it in the next best spot. He answered all of our questions while he was working, asked a lot of questions about where we come in and all the stuff that could affect where he puts the equipment and took his time with that. I had a professional and affordable experience with Guardian Protection Services.

It has been good so far although the first couple of days was a little annoying because the alarm kept on going off from the garage door window. They sent someone to check it out and it hasn't gone off since they switched the sensor.

    Guardian was fabulous from the very beginning to the very end. I’m brand new in the area as I came from a different state so I was looking for a protection service but I really wasn’t sure where I was going to go with it but their sales rep was very informative and explained the purposes of having a protection service, etc. He answered all my questions and made me very comfortable. The price was right too. The installers were so good, patient, kind and understanding. They did all the work and went over everything with me a couple of times because I didn’t get it.

    I definitely found what I was looking for. I am not a technical person so I was a little overwhelmed at first and I thought this is going to be too much for me. I didn’t want to set the alarm off. Also at the same time, I was having a pet sitter come in. Somebody knew so I didn’t want to make a mess with them. But everything worked out perfectly. I am 100% satisfied. I had gone back to New Jersey for the weekend as it was my granddaughter’s birthday and I another pet sitter here, someone that I didn’t even know. I made up her own little password so she could get in and out and I was very comfortable because I saw exactly when she came in and left. That is a plus for the program and I was real pleased about that.

    Also, with this second pet sitter that I had to get at the last minute, I didn’t have her come in through the garage but through the door. Where the panel is is close to the garage door and it was going to be more than 30 seconds to get over to the panel and I didn’t want to frighten her in any way and have the alarm go off. So I called up and I asked them if they could adjust it to 60 seconds instead and they were so very kind about that and said they would call me when it's done. The lady told me she would try to get it done as soon as possible and they did before I left so I really had a great peace of mind. I'm extremely pleased with their services and would definitely recommend them to anybody who would listen to me.

    I told Guardian that I was looking to start a service with them. They took my information and sent someone out. The house already had the equipment so they just reactivated it. The service seems to be fine. I’ve only had a few weeks with it, but the system is working, and the only problem I’m having is gaining access to the website, so I can’t apply the app. I’ve tried customer service a couple of times. They have my account attached to someone else’s, and they’ve been working on that. They keep giving me a couple of days to try again, and see if they’ve separated the accounts from the previous owner of this place and from me.

    We have been using Guardian for over 6 years now. There were numerous issues but last week our house was burglarized. Thieves broke in while we were away and valuables were taken. We were away but Guardian did not call us or the police. The thieves apparently took their time. Deck door was broken. And basement door was opened. When we contacted Guardian the tech failed to answer our questions. He says that the burglar may have cut off our phones... However when we called our phone company they say there was no interruption in our phone service that day. Guardian has no record of when the doors were opened. They are useless. We would advise everyone to please do not trust this company. It is a sham... Your family and kids are the most valuable asset you have. Avoid this at all cost.

    When I bought my house, Guardian Protection Services originally solicited us for an alarm system, which they installed on behalf of ADT and then more recently, they let me know that there was better technology out there, and they could update the panel. They then came out and did new stuff and ended up installing the new alarm. They came to us, and it so happened that there were better features for the same price that we were paying so it made sense to upgrade.

    The only strange thing was that we scheduled the appointment and then we had a family emergency, so I called Guardian's rep two days before the installation was scheduled and left him three messages and I never heard back from him. Then the installer showed up even though I told him we weren’t going to be there. I was not able to get in touch with him to tell him we were not available at the time anymore. They then rescheduled it for a time that worked for us.

    The guy who came out to install was really great but apparently the box that he had with all the stuff in it was missing a part. So, he had to leave and drive and pick up the piece, which ended up taking more than an hour for him to come back and finish the installation. It wasn’t a huge deal, I didn’t have anything going on, but it could have been bothersome to someone who had.

    Everybody at Guardian was very nice, and helpful and they seemed to know what they were doing. The only other thing is that they’re supposed to send me a letter that is to cancel my current service, and it’s been about two weeks and I have yet to receive that letter. The communication on the phone isn’t great but in person, they’re wonderful.

    I have been a customer for about 5 years and decided to get a different provider because they offered me a better monthly deal. I made the switch back in September and when I tried to cancel with Guardian I was told that I was in a revolving contract which means after my contract expired I was signed up for another 3 years which of course never agree to it. So I wanted to cancel regardless just like you can with any company and they charge you a termination fee but instead they want me to pay the fee in advance before I can cancel even though I have already disconnected all their equipment and longer have a landline. I'm very happy with my current provider. I will start a campaign on social media and they will be sorry they have messed with me.

    We had a Guardian Protection Services salesman come to our house. He was very nice, knowledgeable and forthright about everything pertaining with Guardian and how it compared to other security companies. We found that there was adequate services pertaining to the different packages. It just all depended on what we wanted in the service. I work third shifts so my wife is a little more at ease when she's at home by herself at night. Trying to figure it out from the get-go is a learning curve just like anything but my wife and I were both satisfied with the service.

    The installation guy was great. He was very professional, thorough, quick and didn't make any decisions until he asked what I thought. He made sure that I was fairly satisfied and showed me how everything worked, and basically told me that I would have to learn it to be more comfortable with it. He gave me a crash course on what to do with the key fob and the panel. He seemed like he enjoyed his job and knew what he was doing. I was satisfied throughout the process. Overall, they were reliable and they give me peace of mind.

    My sister told me about Guardian Protection Services and that I shouldn't go with ADT. They had problems with ADT and they switched to Guardian. With that, I Googled the best security companies and Guardian was very high up while ADT was very far at the bottom. That time, I already had an estimate on ADT and in fact had the whole nine yards from them. I was all prepared to go with them until my sister told me about Guardian.

    So I called Guardian for an estimate. Guardian was supposed to come out on a certain day. However, the sales rep called me to move the appointment. Either they had her overscheduled or that time didn't work for her. She came the next day and told me about the system and signed me up right then and there. I let her know my only reservation about going with Guardian was that it was completely wireless and we had very bad cell service in my neighborhood. She assured me that bad cell service is never a problem because they run off a different signal, and the panel that I was getting was supposed to look like an iPad. She showed me a picture of what it looked like. Apparently, they don't even have that, and no one has ever seen it. I don't know why it's on their brochure.

    When the installer came and he couldn't find the cell signal, he put holes in my wall and he still couldn't get a signal. He was supposed to be here at 9:00 to 12:00 as what the sales rep told me. I couldn't take my kids to their pediatrician appointment, and I was a half an hour wait for work at five o'clock at night because he was here from 9:00 in the morning till 5:00 in the afternoon. He still couldn't get the service. So, he had to come back a couple of days later and relocate the entire panel.

    So the installer was phenomenal, wonderful. The installation, however, was disastrous because the sales rep didn't do her job properly. She told me the wrong thing. And when I called their rep when I needed her, she never responded. They offered me two months of free service, though, because of what had happened, but overall, the sales experience was not overly pleasant.

When I call customer service for technical support they don't even know how to fix it. When the system was installed Guardian subcontracted the job to two young guys who did a sloppy job, left a mess for us to clean up and only one of them did the work and the other one goofed off.

    Our service package includes the little thing that tells me when the door is being opened, two key fobs and a medical alert that could either be on my wrist or around my neck. The installer was very polite and efficient. He stayed until he got all things done and was here for more than three hours. He was in communication with someone at his office during that time. So, everything seemed to go smoothly. He showed us how to use things. We put in a passcode and he showed us how to set the alarm for "going away" and for "staying at home" at night.

    However, before I moved to my new address, Guardian were supposed to come out and upgrade and they kept putting it off. Every time I would call, they would say they didn't have anybody in the area, and that wasn't my fault. When they finally sent the equipment for the upgrade, nobody called to verify that I had received anything and they still didn't say they were coming out. So, I finally ended up calling to find out what was going on. When they sent someone out to the address, they gave him the wrong phone number. So, evidently, he came to the house but because he had the wrong phone number, he couldn't contact me. Finally, we had communications and we set it up. The gentleman came on time and left when he said he was going to. He was very professional. But I would not recommend Guardian to anybody else because they didn't follow through.

    Also, when they first came out, I was not under the impression that they were sending another group as their representative, and I was confused. When they explained things to me, I ended up paying more than I was already paying. I asked if they were going to take the system out of the house that I'm moving from and they said they would just upgrade into the new house. But when I went to the old house the other day, the alarm was still on. Now, I got to make sure that they're not charging me for two setups and I won't know that until I get my bill from my bank this month.

Meanwhile, I spent the whole day home waiting for him to come and replace all this equipment that doesn't work. I can't afford to have my house without the alarm.

The one rep that I spoke with was very polite, outgoing, and friendly, and she wanted to get me the best deal possible.

    An older gentleman came out for the system installation and he knew what he was doing. He was very quick and thorough and got everything set up. He also made sure that before he left, I had all the knowledge I needed to arm, disarm and activate the system. The service so far has been great and I'm very well satisfied. However, there's one thing I don't like about my system. When we're about to go to bed and we click “stay”, there’s this 60-second delay so we could turn it off or not.

Now stuck with 22 more months at $42/month when ADT is $27.99/month. Was told it would be $1490.58 to break contract now or could add an addendum that would lower rate for 6 months (but then increase to $42 and still have the same 22 months left) but that doesn't help.

    I work a lot and my wife stays at home most of the time so she wants to feel a little bit safe. When we moved in, Guardian Protection Services had people come out. We sat down and talked about our options. Their sales rep was never very pushy at any point. He kept it pretty professional so it’s pretty good. My wife oversaw the installation of their security system and everything was quick and easy.

    My Guardian service package includes monitoring of all the doors and windows, regulation of all the thermostats and is supposed to have a remote garage door open entry access feature. However, the garage door is not working and one of the thermostats is not working. I've got a name and number for the tech, and I've notified them yesterday about it. We thought we fixed things but they're not. Their team seems nice but they got to get things fixed.

    We purchased this house, which had Guardian Protection in the past. We go away a lot so we thought we should put the alarm system. We've had an alarm system in the past and we figured we should activate it. The sales gentleman from Guardian Protection was really nice. However we got lost in the shuffle when we signed the contract and then nobody contacted us for a couple of weeks after that. Finally, I called and asked when they are going to come and install the system. They were very prompt after that.

    In the service package that we purchased we have the door alarms, the sliding glass door and the motion detector included. The installation was very good. The gentleman who came to install was very knowledgeable, took his time, and helped me. So, I was very pleased with it.

    Guardian Protection Services was less expensive. It's got the digital pads as well. I had the five sensors and the hall monitor already with my previous system. So they just basically adjusted and set the new receiver unit to my existing alarm sensors for all of my doors and the window. The installation took about an hour and a half. How to do everything was well explained. The first couple of days, in the middle of the night, the hall monitor would leave me a message on my phone that it had been disturbed even though the system was off. But after that, it's been fine.

    We had gotten broke into a week ago. I looked into a bunch of security systems and a long time neighbor and friend who sold security systems told us how wonderful Guardian Protection Services was so we decided to go with them. We purchased a nice high-end two-way voice monitoring and call monitoring service. Their sales rep explained and answered all our questions and gave me some help with a few questions I had as a follow-up. He was really great as far as guiding me through the new maze of the alarm system. And, there were no hidden costs or fees. In fact, I was even a sensor short than I had planned. He covered it and told me about the monthly plan and it went really smooth.

    The installation took a little longer though because the installer had to overhaul as far as getting the wire down the wall. It wasn't a standard framing so he had a little trouble with that but that wasn't his fault. And then there was a little bit of extra time he had for a programming error that he had to figure out, but he got it all done. He showed my wife and my two boys how to work the system which was pretty basic. He was great to deal with.

The technician came down and installed it, but the first guy wrote down the wrong equipment on the ticket. The technician couldn’t figure out why it's not working, so he made a lot of phone calls to customer service and he did a lot of adjustments. It took about six hours to activate it.

    Guardian Protection Services' rep is top notch. I have been bitten twice by him. I almost didn't let him in this time, but he is seemingly a good guy. He sold to us our security system with Monitronics. Then he came back and was saying that he had a better deal for us. He came by on Monday, the 14th, and sold us very good on the Guardian Protection Services system. I've only started with them three days ago, and so far, our experience with them is okay. The price is the best feature. The service package that we got includes a couple of motion detectors added over what I already had with Monitronics. Everything works just like it did with the ADT system that we had about five years ago and with the Monitronics system that we used through the last two and a half years.

    The salesman installed the system himself. Everything is hooked up and ready to go. He went over everything with us, although we already knew how to operate the system. However, he showed us and added some new features, which was great. I wish that he hadn't left town right after that to go on vacation because he promised that he was going to send me an email that I was to fill out and mail to Monitronics to get them to stop monitoring our security system, but that email didn't come. Nonetheless, it will be a good system once I get it up and going.

    We got the smoke alarm and the home protection package from Guardian Protection Services. It was a good idea to get these features since we didn't have anything, and we had a lot of people at the house doing construction work. The sales guys were terrific and the installation guys were great. They were on time and Johnny-on-the-spot. They did what they were supposed to do and did a good job, and everything was very efficient. So far, the services have been okay. The immediate kick feature is freaky, though. We don't really set it at night because we get up in the middle of the night and let the dogs out and feed cats, and then it beeps.

    One contractor doing our house suggested that I talk to Guardian Protection Services. I wanted the basics and got the motion detection, glass break, door switches in all the windows and doors so we could see who would come in, and all of the standard alerting and mobile access. The sales rep was really responsive to what I was doing although it felt like he was on a bit of a different schedule than I was at times. But, overall, he was very helpful and my interactions with him were very positive.

    When we moved, we wanted to get back with the same alarm company we had and in here their name is changed to Guardian. Their sales reps were very friendly. They're helpful when I'm talking with them and when they need to meet with me, they call before showing up which I'm very pleased with. Installation was quick.

    When we lived in Texas, we had a security system. We just moved and felt more comfortable living with a security system besides the huge dogs. Sean, the sales rep from Guardian Protection Services, was awesome. He was very knowledgeable, very personable and we really appreciated his help. We have the panel that we can set when we leave, the sensors on the doors, the smoke detector, and the window break or glass break alarms. The people who came out to do the installation were very personable and went above and beyond. I had to FAX in some things to cancel the previous owner’s service and we didn’t have a FAX machine, so they took it home and did the faxing for me which was very nice of them. They also made sure that we understood everything and they double-checked everything. The installation was perfect and they were wonderful.

    When we came in to buy our home, Guardian was part of the introduction and the offer for buying the house. We took that option and got the full house security system and a couple of speakers installed in the house. We met the salesman only one time and he didn't do a very good job listening to what we wanted. We asked for two speakers inside the house and a speaker outside of it. However, they installed four speakers in the house, two of them in the basement where we didn't want them at all and two up in the living area where we did in fact want them. They never installed the speaker on the outside of the house. Then the salesman never talked to us about how to get hooked up with Guardian, didn't follow up and didn't show us or tell us what we could do about it. We complained to Guardian about him.

    However, the guy who came out and did the installation got here on time and was real good, very thorough and took his time with us. He wasn't in any kind of a rush to do his thing and get out of there and be gone. He also made us feel comfortable. He explained very clearly how everything worked, how to use our phone and our computer, how the keypad works and how to set the alarms. So far, we're happy and very satisfied. The salesman could've been a little bit better but we know that not everybody wants to work and do their thing. We had a great experience.

    We got the fire alarm, speakers and central vac from Guardian and they’ve been good so far. The only drawback was that no one showed us how to use the central vac and how things are supposed to go together. We were unable to even call in because they typed our security answer wrong. When I told them how it’s spelled, they told me they couldn’t give me any information because I didn’t know my security word, which was a hassle. It took a while but the gentleman who set up our alarm finally took care of it and he was great. The guy who installed the speakers had hurt his back and didn’t want to put the speakers somewhere because he said he couldn’t, but we’ve seen other houses where the speakers were there and we think he just didn’t want to.

    There was a promotion that Guardian Protection Services was doing in our community, trying to get us to switch our alarm services over to them and so there was a sales guy walking around the neighborhood. We switched to Guardian to get better technology as far as the security cameras and video feeds. We got only the two security cameras and a doorbell camera, for the most part. However, I wasn’t completely satisfied. It is now a month later and I’m just getting my final camera installed today and there were some mix-ups. The sales guy was good and he tried his best to help out but he wasn’t a technician. He got one camera up and positioned nicely but the feed was a little slow and he can’t tell how to troubleshoot it. He tried to get the doorbell camera up and running but wasn’t able to get that to work so we went for about two weeks without a doorbell.

    When they first came out, the salesman pitched everything and we scheduled a date for the techs to come out. The techs came out that afternoon and it was a whole calamity of errors. If they were qualified technicians, they took way too long just to put in a little board in my little panel box to be protected or monitored by Guardian. Then they told me I need another router from their carrier which is Frontier, to do dual band so that the cameras can work properly. I said, “Okay, no problem. I’ll go ahead and order the router.” So they left the cameras and we scheduled another date. But for no reason, it didn’t happen and I had to call them several times to try to get somebody back out to help me do something or get the stuff working, to no avail.

    I finally got tired of the whole thing and I called Guardian directly. The company they worked with that does their service in my area is Skyline and Skyline contacted me and said they'll have somebody out the next week. I was thinking it was gonna be Friday the 21st but their guy came today the 26th. It’s been a whole bunch of problems with everything. I was really disappointed and not satisfied with the service at all. And if I could, I would get out of my contract, but I have a $1,250 fee that I would have to pay.

Which means they gave us a bad battery. Then they changed their mind and said they fixed the problem remotely. Which did not turn out to be true either. We continue to have problems with the basement motion detector and had to actually leave our home without activating our system today. On top of all this trouble while on vacation and when wanting to leave our home safe while gone, they overcharged our account this month.

    OUR AGREEMENT with them was they were NOT to be taking any funds out of our account, but that we would be automatically paying $49.99/month out of our account. We TOLD them the deal was off before our rep left our house because we would not allow them access to our account. We were told they would not be taking any money out of our account after the initial payment on 8/18. And on 9/27 they removed $68.32 from our account.

    I am happy with my Guardian Protection and I have no complaints so far. Had a bried interaction with the salesman when he showed me the equipment that Guardian was offering. He also told me the things that you could do by just having your phone and how simple the system really was. It has been an easy experience.

    I previously had another security provider for quite a while but it wasn't wireless. But now I have Guardian and I'm happy with it. It's a little easier to use. Their salesman explained a few of the newer things. Although I called them the other day because when I came in, there wasn't any sound. I was used to the previous one where it beeped until I turned it off. So they had put a chime on it and they did it right there from the office. Angel, the installer was very nice and explained what he was doing. And when I had a question, I called the guy who sold the system to me. And because Angel was still in the neighborhood, he came back and explained it to me. They were both really good and I'm glad I got Guardian.

    We contracted with Guardian Protection at our previous residence to our own detriment. Mid-way through our contract, we built an addition to our home that required additional sensors. What seemed like a straight-forward service call to install the additional sensors became a nightmare that resulted in us being entered into an extended security contract that was NOT explained to us and was never what we wanted. When the extended contract came to our attention, we immediately called customer service only to be insulted and ridiculed that we hadn't read the full paperwork that was signed when the additional sensors were added. Though reading the full paperwork is ideal, the service installer was in a hurry when he was at our home. So when he said, "Here's the confirmation of the sensors I added. Nothing additional to note. Sign here and here", we foolishly believed him.

    We now understand why he was in such a "hurry" to get out of our house. Had we had the proper time to review the paperwork and realized it included an extended contract, we never would have signed! Fast forward to a year later when we sold that property and the new owners declined to take over the Guardian contract (probably because they read all of the accurately terrible reviews of Guardian) and we are being told by Guardian that we are required to pay the remaining balance on the contract.

    What world are we living in!? They aren't providing any service to our current or previous residency and yet they demand payment for a contract that we never wanted in the first place! Without question, this is one of the most dishonest, unprofessional companies ever. Save yourself the heartache and disappointment and DO NOT sign with Guardian! There are many other far more qualified and professional protection agencies that don't have to scam customers in order to make a profit.

    Asher,

    I'm sorry to hear that you feel you were deceived. When your installation occurred, you were asked to initial next to your contract's term. Having your security system professionally installed at an affordable price, the guarantee that Guardian’s central station works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to monitor your home or business, and easy options that let your system move with you should you choose to move, are just a few of the benefits of having a contract. Each customer has three days after signing the initial contract to consider it, ask any questions, and cancel it with no obligation. After the three-day period, Guardian expends resources to fulfill its obligations and to provide all promised services. If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out to social@gpsx.net.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    I'm sorry to hear you've been having trouble with your system. I hear you have had a service call and that there were no technical faults in your system. The technician was able to help find the cause of you difficulty arming the system and help you resolve the problem.

    Guardian makes a significant upfront investment when new electronic security hardware is installed and activated in your property. This is the reason an early termination fee may apply if you wish to cancel prior to the end of the initial contract period. You may opt to remit an early termination fee or continue to pay the normal monthly fee until the end of the contract period, at which time it may be cancelled with no early termination fee. Such contract terms are common throughout many industries including the home security industry. The contract also serves to protect both the consumer and the provider, by defining services to be provided, rates, terms and obligations of each party.

    I called today, Sept 29, 2016 to deactivate/cancel my service but, to only find out my account was auto renewed for 36 months without my knowledge... and that the contract auto renewals. Piss poor communication and hidden "contract terms". When I moved into my new home, a walking saleswoman sold me for an alarm monitoring system. This was back in 2009. After the initial "contract" was up, I know I stated I wanted to cancel my alarm service. Well, somehow, my contract was renewed in 2013 and since I didn't cancel, it auto renewed for another 36 months. **!

    So, the auto renew contract is supposedly renewed and "I" electronically signed the contract. You know what's funny, I don't even have an online account with Guardian Protection. I just tried forgot my password and entered my email address and, it says "NO CUSTOMER COULD BE FOUND FOR ENTERED EMAILED ADDRESS". So, how in the hell did I electronically signed the 36 month renewal??? Timing, auto renewal notice, contract expiration, these are all hidden and not advised to the customer. This is hidden and hushed so, the customer forget and you get slammed with some crazy ** 36 months. THIS IS A FRAUD, HIDDEN LIES and BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE.

    False advertised contract lengths and cancellation policy. This confusion is due in large part to Guardian Protection’s poor online transparency as well as its method of contract delivery. The Guardian Protection website proffers little useful information regarding policies, terms and conditions, and exclusions. Customers are largely at the mercy of the terms of the actual contract, which is delivered in an electronic format. A auto renewal or the renewed contract that I supposedly signed in 2013 was never emailed or mailed to me. SEVERAL customers have complained that these contracts are not only difficult to read, but can also sometimes be inaccurate. Whatever it takes, this issue will be broadcasted to every major social media, I'll also contact my local news - consumer reporter. BBB and any other outlet so, they don't DECEIVE anyone else.

    Today, I called Guardian Protection to cancel my alarm service. I spoke to a customer service rep who was rude and non-responsive to my request. He kept asking why I wanted to cancel and stating "I'm just curious as to why since you have been a long-time valued customer." I told him it was none of his business why I wanted to cancel and to please process the request. He finally, after me yelling at him, said it was paid through October 22 so I said fine, cancel as of that date. He then proceeded to tell me that I was locked into a contract for another 33 months and would have to pay a termination fee! Apparently, 16 or 18 years ago when the system was installed, a contract was signed. Every 5 years it AUTOMATICALLY renews unless you inform them in writing 30 or more days in advance. Mind you, Guardian WILL NOT send you a renewal notice so you could be informed as a consumer. What a shady practice as a company.

    As a consumer, I should have the choice to renew and be reminded of such. Any other reputable company I deal with does that. This is an unacceptable practice that targets customers who have faithfully paid their bills for years. A supervisor was no help, saying I would have to pay over $1,000 to terminate early. He thought he was being kind offering a 50% discount to $500 to terminate. I refused to do so.

    Believe me, if I am stuck with this company with such unethical business practices, it will cost them more than the $500 in business I drive away from them through my social media contacts, board positions, and union positions as I tell people to steer clear of this company. They should be ashamed of themselves. (And the kicker is my system's battery is dead so I have no battery back up, leaving me without coverage THAT I'M PAYING FOR and they will want likely over $100 to replace the system's battery!)
