    Questions about muting countdown. There were two questions, both were looked up by the representative through technical services and both were answered satisfactorily. The customer representative was very pleasant and helpful! She went out of her way to double check that all my questions were answered. Thank You for your help!

    I've had Guardian Protection for 20 years and I've gotten great service. In fact, if I needed another system, they're the one I would call. They're reliable. When you call up, you always get somebody on the phone and then they take care of the problem immediately. They don't leave you hanging. Every time I needed something, they came out. When I moved, they took my service on one house to the second house and didn’t charge me. Whatever was missing from the house I bought, they put in. They put in motion detectors, did my windows and put in glass breakage detectors. So they came in and redid the whole house. They did good.

    The previous homeowner had Guardian installed and we re-upped with them. The process of getting it reinstalled and activated was really easy. And their technician was very professional. They've been great and they're very easy to deal with. They're not the cheapest but they do a good job with communicating how it works and they're easy to reach. Also, they offer everything that we needed, so I'm happy with the system. And the smartphone feature is very self-explanatory so that's very easy.

    My neighbors have Guardian and they're pretty happy with it, so they recommended it and I got it. Their customer service has been outstanding. They'll call me on occasion to test my alarm system, which is really good. I had ADT and one of the big differences is that ADT would install a package and give $1,000 worth of free stuff. I had to pay for the package that I got with Guardian but after all those sales calls, that's probably the best $700 I ever spent. Guardian is really good.

    We had one previous provider and Guardian seems to respond a lot better. In fact, that’s the reason why we moved. The previous company that we had wasn’t responding to any of our service calls. Other houses in the neighborhood have Guardian and it was references from other people that led me to choose Guardian. In fact, we had them out just last weekend for an issue. Then about a month ago, we did some remodeling in our house and we needed to change some zones, and they seemed to be very responsive. The last time the tech was out here, he also suggested a carbon monoxide detector that could be hooked right into our current hardwired system, which I went for, and I was pleased with that. Now, I don’t have to worry about all these plugged-in systems around the house. The whole thing also took maybe five minutes for him to install.

    I live in a very nice neighborhood and there were some break-ins in a couple of homes that in the 24 years of living here, I wanted to put the system in. I got Guardian because they were more competitive with the pricing. They installed the unit and explained everything to me. It was really, really good. Any time I have any issues, I call Guardian and they immediately respond and take care of it for me. When the battery goes out on some of the magnets on the windows, I try to replace the battery but then I have to tell Guardian to send me a whole new piece. It would be great if they could improve on that. Otherwise, they’ve been fantastic.

    I've had Guardian Protection since October 2016 and called for services to our home throughout the years with no issues until mid-2019. A technician came to our home and took longer than average to do the service. I was excessively billed $580.88 for his incompetent service. I tried to resolve my complaint several times by asking that they reduce the cost for someone who seemed not to be skilled in what he does. Guardian Protection was willing to reduce the cost by waiving $150.00; however, in order to receive the waiver for the "poor service" I got, I must accept additional two year to our existing agreement. This clearly shows that they were willing to reduce the cost but tried to force me to extend the agreement for my complaint. I was not pleased and paid for the bill in full without my complaint ever being heard or considered.

    When I first moved in, the guy came out and went through some stuff. We had an extra person living here for a few months and I didn't want that person to have the code, so I thought I would not use the system for a few months, which was fine, and I paid the bill. When this person moved out of the house and I wanted to start using Guardian Protection, I couldn't remember what the codes or how to do it. I called them a number of times, and I wrote them even on a bill saying to send me a pamphlet or something that would help and nothing was ever sent. They sent something through an email, but I couldn't access it ‘cause I couldn't print it out. There were so many pages and I don’t have a printer at home.

    Then I had Bose speakers installed when the house was built. There were four different stations in my house, so four different units that I had set up, and I could control it through an app on the phone. It worked for a few months then it went out. I called Guardian. The guy came out, spent a couple of hours fixing it and got it back up working. A couple of months later, it went out again. The guy came out and he was instructed to send it back to the company. Then it took about five months before they called to bring it back. They reinstalled it and it worked for two or three months.

    The speakers went out again. By this time, I’m not even used to having it, and these things were expensive. The guy came out and tried to fix it but he wasn't able to. Then they called and said that they would send it back to the company again. It was gone for a few more months. This last guy who came back out to install it said that it didn’t make sense if all the units went out at one time since they all have separate wiring. He traced it back to the box. There's a switch there that goes on and off and he said that there's something wrong with that. He redid all the wiring. The units are working right now, but he suggested that they come out and exchange that panel that has the switches. He gave it a different name to something that he thought would work better because obviously, the problem is coming from one place. He checked everything and said that they would call me within a few days.

    Well, that’s been over a week and nobody’s called to set up an appointment to come out and check that. Probably within another month or two, the units will go out again, and at some point, they're gonna say that I have to pay for it and these haven't worked. I’ve gotten probably less than seven months’ use out of these things total, and I’ve been here almost two years. Then some of my friends are now building retirement homes and they have Guardian in them. If they're in here and they hear the speakers are great, they'll ask if I would recommend that, I'd say no. I have shut down a number of people that were planning on getting this system.

    The people that came out here from Guardian seemed to really wanna solve the problem, except for this last guy. He seemed to see something different that actually made sense to me, but yet, they haven't called to make an appointment to come do what his suggestion was. I’d still like to use the system. I’ve been paying for it for the protection, ‘cause I don’t want another company. It's already wired for Guardian. All I want is to have a pamphlet or some booklet they could send me. And if they sent me this thing on the email, why don’t they print it out instead and send it to me? Because the way my eyes are, I can’t sit there. I underline stuff and make notes so if I had something, even if it was this 70-some-paged thing, I can still go through it and make notes and read it. I don’t know why they can’t be bothered.

    The experience I had with their team has been great so far. But Guardian is a bit expensive. When we got the door lock installed, it was cheaper if I went to Lowe’s and buy it there than getting it from Guardian. They should offer customers that had their system some type of discount if they wanna upgrade. If something new comes out, they should offer it to current customers for like 50% off. That’ll be a good incentive to have people stay with them, because right now, with all the new technology that’s coming out and these new security companies, they’ll be eager to switch soon as their contract run out.

    I had a good alarm before with my past services, but the guy sold his business and he was gone. I had to find somebody else and looking around, Guardian was highly recommended, so I went with them. The installation was very good and it went smoothly. The house was pre-wired, so they had to change the panel. They changed the infrareds at a later date, but it was fine. Now, I have a somewhat better alarm than it was before. I’m very pleased. They seem responsive and they seem to do what they’re supposed to do, which sometimes is a big deal. I’ve recommended them to my neighbor, and my neighbor wound up using them.

We said we were missing a piece and she said they'd set me up with a service call. But that wouldn’t be until a week later. Also, I asked if there was a charge and she said it was $115. I said it was ridiculous. She said she could send us the piece and I said to just do that but she couldn't wait to get off the phone. She wasn't helpful. I called the second time about the two-sided sticky stuff that was on the sensor that was not there and I got a rep named Hailey. She was more than helpful and was the nicest person. She said she could send those out. She sent us enough for the sensor and the magnet that we had and we got them very quickly. That was a Saturday and they came on Tuesday. The magnet came not until Thursday.

    Also, when I was on the phone with Hailey, I told her that we told the first lady we couldn’t set the alarm because it was saying ‘Not Ready', she walked me through how to buy pairs and told me which sensors they were. That was fine because then, we could set the alarm. After I talked to her and I did it a couple of times, I looked down at the information at the front of the thing. And it tells you how.

    The technician put the sensors where we wanted them. They hid the wiring so nothing was exposed. We’re very, very pleased with how everything went -- the customer service, all the way down to the implementation. And I really like the mobile app that we can set the alarm, arm it or disarm it while we’re away. We live in a nice location. But even with nice locations there tend to be break-ins, especially in the automobiles and we have a separate outdoor camera system that we can monitor things like that.

    We set up our protection service in 2016. The contractor that came to do the install told us we had to sign a contract. We signed one with Skyline and one with Guardian. I’m not sure who Skyline was but the contract we signed the installer told us was for two years and yes the first one was but the second was for 60 months. We just figured it was the same as the first, our bad. I remember I asked 2 times though and he said for 2 years. So my husband signed both. We moved 4 years later and I come to learn we have to pay for another year that I don’t live in the house. The guy I spoke with was rude, we could not get out of contract. They write the term of contract not at the top to be visible, have 2 contracts to sign and have a long period that you are liable for.

    Their security system sucks. We had the alarm go off several times in Justice, more than 10 times and it would be on for 2 minutes and no phone call to check if there was anything wrong. Never really knew if it worked. The keypad worked until it became frozen with every time the electricity was out because of bad weather and if I called them they threatened with a service fee so my husband would have to reset it. I will never do business with them. They are scammers. A good company has 1 contract and has nothing to hide and is reliable and that’s how they keep their customers. They keep their customers locked in a contract to make money. They are not worth the price. They charge for no service. Basically a rental fee.

I liked that. Also, I can install an app on my cellphone and if I'm not home, I can look who is ringing my bell and I can speak to that person. For instance, if they have a package, I can speak to them through my cellphone and tell them where to put it or whatever it is I need to speak to them about. Plus, it was gonna come out to the same cost in the long run if I gave up my home telephone and just use my cellphone. I didn't do that though and I kept my home telephone charge 'cause I don't like talking on a cellphone. I prefer a landline. Then I texted them that I wanna put the app on my phone but I got no answer and it had been a week already.

    There are nights that I'm so tired that I forget to put the alarm on, lock the doors and just go to bed. But they notify me by a text message and that makes me more vigilant and pushes me on my toes to make sure I put the system on.

    Numerous issues with Guardian over several encounters with them. Started with the first service where technician did not have equipment I requested and refused to connect garage door to our account. Was told to call customer service who needed to do it. When I called customer service, was told tech needed to do work.

    Second appointment was scheduled to install device missing from first visit and the garage door. Appointment was scheduled for a Thursday between 1-4. Called at 3:45pm and was told technician was running late but would be there in the early evening. Called back at 5:30 only to be told I didn’t actually have an appointment despite having received a confirmation email and voicemail earlier that week. Appointment was rescheduled for Saturday morning.

    Technician came out and installed fire alarm and got garage doors working, or so we thought. Although tech tested garage addition from our phone, he did not test from panel or car clickers. After he left, we went to leave the house but discovered we could not shut our garage door and none of the devices were working. Called back and was told tech might have time to come back but probably not until Monday. My husband ended up researching and fixing the issue but Guardian finds it acceptable to have my garage door open to public for 48 hours.

    This was nothing compared to the fire alarm not working a week later. Our carbon monoxide detectors went off this past Saturday evening but luckily for me, I just had Guardian install an alarm that was supposed to call the fire department if the fire or carbon monoxide detectors went off. False, they surprise didn’t do the job right. I had to call three times to finally get ahold of someone to call the fire department. It’s 35 degrees outside with a four-year-old and small dog. Now the earliest appointment I can get to fix this issue is a week and a half away. The kicker is I called to speak to a manager and was basically told, “well what do you want me to do about it?” Let’s see, first off an apology for the series of events would be great. Then try some real customer service.

    Before using Guardian Protection, I used two different home security systems, one of which was Protection 1. The Guardian system that I have now is better. The only thing that ticked me off was I was still under contract with Protection 1, and Chris, who was the salesman, told me, “Well, if you are, we’ll go ahead and pay what you owe off.” After that, I never saw him again or heard from him, and I end up paying $1,000 -- it was not that I couldn’t afford it. When I contacted Guardian, he wasn't working there anymore.

    But I had some new stuff put in because my smoke detector wasn’t hooked up to the system and it kept beeping. I’ve got vaulted ceilings here and it’s right at the top. I’d had to get a ladder that was 15-foot tall in order to get up there. And I had changed it once, a couple years ago, but a little bit younger then and I did not feel like climbing up ladders. So, I had called Guardian, had them put in a new smoke detector which is hooked up to my panel, and it’s at a place where if the battery needs to be changed, I can just get on a stool and take it off.

    But they also put in a carbon dioxide checker too. And they put that where if there was carbon monoxide in the house from my heater or something, it would show up. And I’ve never had a problem with carbon monoxide, but you cannot take a chance. So, I had them put it in. It was expensive, but I could afford it. I knew it was gonna cost me because they told me ahead of time what it was gonna cost, which was okay. When they put the system in, they didn’t charge me anything. It was one of those advertisement things where they come around all the time. All you have to do is pay the first payments and that is it, which is fine.

    So, now, if something happens where I got smoke and it sets the alarm off, I can go to the panel and put my code in and have the thing shut off because I have had smoke in here one time. I had oil in a cast-iron frying pan and I was curing it, so I had it on fire under it. And I forgot about it and went to the bedroom, and I was talking to my wife. So, all of a sudden, the siren goes off and I came running in there and the house was full of smoke. I then went ahead and opened the doors and everything else and tried to shut the thing off. It took me a couple of times before there was no smoke.

    I called up Protection 1 and told them, “I just had a little problem with smoke on my stove.” My wife said, “Everything’s taken care of. Please, don’t send anybody out.” The fire department come over, however, and parked out in front of my house, and I told them what happened. Overall, Guardian has been good. If I’ve had something wrong, they’d come out and fix it. Also, the guy who did the installation did a good job and he took care of business. He was very pleasant to talk to as well.

    With our Guardian system, I had been in the home several months without my husband being present, and I had a total sense of security. I have used a different security system, and Guardian is a much greater value. We have more security coverage with Guardian than with the previous security system. Prior to purchasing our home, the sales representative actually came to a center where I was reviewing some materials that I wanted to include in my home. He was willing to come and meet me there on my schedule and discuss the system with me.

    The installation was very easy. We use a wireless system, so it didn't take a lot of time at all. There are no noticeable drilling or damage to walls, and there are no wires showing anywhere, so it was a very quick and painless, and clean installation. The technician was very friendly and very knowledgeable about what he was doing. Guardian offered a comprehensive system. It's got window monitoring, motion detector, door monitoring, and camera for the home, so I thought it was very complete and extensive. And it has excellent quality. The function has been perfect, too. The smartphone features are also very convenient and easy to use.

    With every house getting broken into and being out here in Monroeville, we decided we'd get a security system. ADT stopped in at one time, but they were high pressure, which I didn’t like. The rep said to either sign up now or to forget it. I said, “Forget it,” and called Guardian. They weren’t that way. The salesman explained everything there was to explain. The installation went very smoothly, but they could cut their prices a little bit. The equipment is top-of-the-line. We arm it before we go and we unarm it when we get back.

    I had Guardian come out one time. We had a fire alarm problem and one of their technicians came out. He was extremely nice. But what happened was he came in and he looked at the smoke alarm that was up top and he said to me, “I can’t touch that one. It isn’t ours. It belongs to you.” He said, “I’ll show you where ours is.” So, he walked me around the house and he showed me the one which is right near our bedroom. It's the one that’s hooked up to them. I told him that one works. I don’t have any problem with that one. And he said, “Yeah. We would've known if you did. But right now, that’s it. That’s all I can do.” So, he left.

    Then I got a bill for $185 for something he spent less than three minutes in the house, and that pissed me off. I called up and then someone said they'd lower it to 105. That was what I had to pay for three minutes in the house and doing absolutely nothing because he couldn't do anything.

    Since we moved in in 2008, we've had Guardian in our home. I should have asked more people about security systems before we had it implemented. We have the motion detectors as well. The alarms are only by the front door and the garage door. So if you set the alarm, when you get up in the morning, you have to immediately go to one of those to turn the alarm off. And what friends have been telling me is that they put the panel in their bedroom so they can just turn it off from there before they start walking through the house. I’ve not contacted Guardian to verify that, but that was the way that I understood it when they originally explained it. The installers could have made that one recommendation, but they were very good about explaining how to use it. Also, the system is straightforward. We have had one or two issues and it’s always been resolved quickly.

    We chose Guardian Protection Services for the new house as recommended by the builders and the system was installed during the home build. We had someone set the system in our house, and it went very smoothly. The security system works. It does what it's supposed to, and so far, we're happy with it. I love the fact that I can set the alarm on when we're at home and overnight. I like the Stay feature in my bed especially because I have little kids. During the day, sometimes, they try to open the door and go out. I like setting the alarm if I know we're not going anywhere, and it alerts me if one of them was trying to escape out of the house.

It just gives you a good sense of security ‘cause you know it’s gonna go off, hopefully. It’s a good thing to use. It keeps you safe and somebody’s watching you.

    My son had gotten Guardian, and when my husband died, my son felt better with me living alone with Guardian. When I had it first installed, they couldn’t find a spot. I have a cinder block house and they called it a fortress. I had a room added on and the addition that I put on was not cinder block, so they moved the things to that wall and it was better. I’d wanted it to another place while they were installing it but where it is now is great.

    My experience with Guardian Protection has been great as well. It’s easy to set the alarm and to turn it off. And I like the fob that comes with it. I use that a lot and I also have a necklace that I wear for in case I fall. But the cost has increased and I don’t much care for that. You’ve got all these SimpliSafe and another one that are a lot cheaper, so I don’t like that the price is going up. Other than that, I have a wooden trash can that my trash sits in. It has a wood lid on it and every once in a while, the lid falls down. When I go to shut it, it comes out of my hands and that will set off glass breakage. So, I just have to go to where the alarm thing is on the wall, wait until somebody comes on and wants to know if there’s a problem, and say that my trash can lid fell down. The reps I talked to were also very knowledgeable and answered all my questions that I had.

But I didn’t like that I was charged for the battery. This is a new house and Guardian came and set up the alarm system. It was a good offer at the time, so I signed up. But now that three years have passed, I’m looking into the market. There seems to be a cheaper ADT providing security services for the same amount of service that I’m taking from Guardian.

    I have had Guardian Protection Services home security/ fire/ carbon monoxide alarms systems since 2013. On September 16, 2019, I called Guardian Protection Service to inquire about service coverage as a result a fire occurred at my property on September 11, 2019 account. I, the homeowner, was away in Europe for travel. I nor my designated family members received any notification of a fire at the property. The first communication with your representative informed that I did not have monitoring service rendered by Guardian Protection Services since May 17, 2019 and that no notification to the fire department occurred September 11, 2019 from their entity.

    This scenario of disconnection of monitoring service for the mentioned property is misleading as there have been constant month on month billing for security services since May 2019 to date and the representative informed that all month on month billing since May 2019 has been paid. She then proceed to say billing was TURNED on in error. I asserted that this is not an error as this misleads me to believe I had coverage and monitoring services. No notices were sent that I needed to reinstate service, apply for a new contract, or refunds for payments as monitoring service was discontinued.

    The billing without coverage/monitoring/ service is misleading in that there is an account number associated with the billing each month. I received billing in the form of mail and email. I can access Guardian Protection Services website account billing to pay for services according to billing notifications. Therefore, no error has been performed but false representation of services and misleading a consumer in unfair practices. This practice of billing lasted for months and there is no indication that this would have stopped or I ,the consumer, would have been notified of this issue, refund issued, or clear communication to reinstate services is necessary.

    I have asked that this matter be escalated for arbitration with Guardian and have received coercing e-mails/ communications threatening to cut off services that were not instated properly since May 2019. Guardian refuses to address the evidence of their negligence even when they requested to see reports of the fire. Now all my calls have to go through A credit manager and she has not addressed any of my concerns and acts as an agent to issue out ultimatum communications of ceasing services (that are not instated since May 2019 due to Guardian negligence) and that billing was not applied after I reported this negligence. However, Guardian Protection Services continued to bill me from Sept. 2019 - Dec. 2019.

    Over the past months, I have continued to receive mistreatment from Guardian with the latest regarding being kept from a legible copy of my contract signed. They informed me that the Loyalty Department can explain the contract, but not provide me a clear copy. Now I have been told I am not allowed to know my terms from the contract unless the credit manager supplies this. She has not returned any of my calls since September 2019 and provides nothing in the form of e-mail to address my issues escalated to Guardian Protection Services.

    To date, a current list of negligence Guardian Protection Services performed for account:

    1. Billing without monitoring services May 2019 -Sept 2019.
    2. Failure to correct billing negligence or inform customer of the occurrence.
    3. Failure to notify the fire department of fire Sept 2019 or back up contacts on the 2017 contract.
    4. Failure to address negligence reported 9/16/2019 and issuance or coercing/ ultimatum communications to reactivate monitoring. In addition, reactivation of monitoring outside of protocol.
    5. Sending coercing/ ultimatum e-mails insisting billing had ceased since Sept. 16, 2019, but there was billing in the amounts $212.64 and $205.20. Then removing billing without addressing the customer concerns Jan 02/2020.

    6. Negligence to provide a clear copy of 2017 contract and thwarting consumer to have access to this information without the credit manager’s consent.

    The builder set up the appointment with Guardian so they told us that we have to see them then they gave us a date. When we went there during the meeting, the reps seemed fine. They said we can get a vacuum and all that set up as well with them, and they told us about this surround sounds. All of it was okay at first. And then, when they set up the house, they didn't even show us how to operate things. We have to call them about the vacuum as well. So, we have to follow up everything afterwards. Also, the features offered were a little bit high. We're paying 45.99 or $45 a month. We had this incident wherein we opened the door, then we were expecting a call from the Guardian but it never happened. So, we don't know if they are really monitoring us because it happened several times but we never got even a single call.

    A friend of mine suggested Guardian. The system works well. The only issue I’ve had has been the little fob that you can use manually. It’s to attach to my keychain and the little tab broke off. So now, I have to try to take care of not losing the thing and keeping it loose in my pocket. So, occasionally, it disappears for a few days and I would find it again. We don’t use the app to set the system on our phones. For some reason, we never got around to doing that. But it would be a nice thing that we might even try to do again. We're pretty happy with the system.

    The company sold me equipment that didn’t work from day 1 of installation. I’d call and go through the recommendations and no solution. Now, after the product is out of warranty, they suggest it needs replaced. So they want me to pay out of pocket for more equipment that never worked in the first place. Thus, I wanted to cancel my contract since Guardian is not providing adequate service, a breach of their contract. Yet they insist I pay $750 early termination fee, EVEN THOUGH IT'S THEIR EQUIPMENT THAT ISN'T WORKING AND THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT ISN'T FIXING IT PROPERLY!

    I've upgraded my Guardian system about three times over the last 12 years, with adding cameras and stuff like that, and I've had no issues. A couple of times, they even had some technical things and I'm a technical person myself, and it's worked out well. I had somebody come out twice and both times, they were excellent representatives of their company.

    I've had my equipment for about five years now and everything is still holding up. I know nothing is gonna last forever, but I have gotten my money’s worth. One thing that they don’t offer is like a protection for your cameras. So, they'll sell you the equipment and install the equipment, but in the event that your equipment breaks, they don’t have any kind of mechanism to cover that. And the stuff is not cheap. It might be $300 or $400 for one camera. I was kinda surprised that they didn’t offer that. I don't know if other people do, but it seems like that would be something that they would wanna consider. Other than that, I have an iPhone 7, and we do have their app installed and it works very well. I was ADT and it also was a good company. And I don’t think I've lost anything by going to Guardian.

    Guardian was my best option. There was one through the builder and couple other options that were sent to the mail but I had heard good things about Guardian so we ended up going with them. Guardian's customer service has been phenomenal due to its simplicity and ease. I’ve never had an issue with any type of rudeness.

    The installation was done when the house was built. That was one of our options. We wanted the system in, and we wanted everything wired and Guardian was the one that we went with for everything because they have the wireless set up. So, if there was any type of ground line or anything they were trying to cut, you still had monitoring and alert systems. When Guardian came out to do their set up on the system, I got the walk through on everything. One time, they came out because we had to do an adjustment on one of the door sensors, but that was a simple adjustment. We’ve only had them out like a few times over the number of years we’ve been with them. The security equipment is a simple interface. As soon as you know how to use it, it’s pretty simple to navigate through. With Guardian, I can see exactly how many times whatever doors been opened. I’m extremely happy with it as a product.

    Worst security service on the market. Equipment is unreliable, customer service is non-existent unless you owe them money. Twice I set off the smoke detectors and called right away to cancel the call. Both times the fire department showed up because Guardian never cancelled the call. Throughout the time I was under their spell, I frequently received robo calls at 8:30 Sunday mornings to remind me of some unimportant function or give a recap of past activities. After two years of trying to communicate with a human, I disconnected the system. Now I got recurring robo calls to tell me the system would not communicate. I called several times but only reached voice mail. No one ever returned my calls. I even left messages on their website contact section and never heard back from that either.

    Then I moved across town and finally was able to contact a human to have the service moved to the new location. They told me that they no longer offered service in my area and could not move the system. Ok, so I guess I need to cancel the service. Not so easy. Only if I paid a $750 early termination fee, even though the termination was their doing. There was no negotiations. Their account techs used strong arm tactics, refused to cancel the monitoring and continued to bill for months. I would NOT recommend Guardian for anything and I’m surprised this sham is still in business.

They told me the features that would be beneficial towards him so that I wouldn’t have to wonder or worry about him getting hurt or somebody breaking in on us and him panicking. He has the one that you wear around the neck instead of the arms. We also have the panel that has the things we use on it and rather than a button. He could just reach over there, touch the screen, and it comes up on my phone every time he opens the door.

    The installation went fantastically. We had little problems with the doorbell camera at first, but the installer came back out and redid everything. He uninstalled it and reinstalled it as new. He thinks we had a power outage where we lost internet connection, so it disconnected from the internet. We have an error that says that the LG has not been communicating with it and we don’t know how to fix that.

    Guardian’s more expensive compared to other ones I had, and unfortunately, I’m hooked into them for five years so I have to stay with them for another two and a half years. Also, I don’t think their reps told me everything. They were just trying to sell me everything. And if I had to do it over again with what I know, I wouldn’t have used Guardian. In my prior services, they covered all the windows. With Guardian, they don’t do all the windows. You gotta pay extra if you want all the windows done. They covered the doors and they put a motion detector in and then they covered two windows in our master bedroom. That was it. But the smartphone features are good. I like that.

    Overall, my experience has been average. I had a problem with one of the alarms, and in order for them to come out and fix it, I had to pay extra. If I’m paying for coverage, I don’t understand why I had to pay extra for them to fix the problem. I’m here for two and a half years, and the problem was with the smoke detector. It stopped working.

I had all five doors hardwired, but at the time they didn't have hard wires for the smoke detectors. I told them that I like to have the hard wires instead, but we have not gotten around to that. Also, I thought the battery in the system had to be changed every year, and I had a concern when I wanted to change it. I found out it will tell you when it needs to be changed. And then they put a trouble alert in and we found out they were labeled wrong, which was no big deal to me either if it was upstairs or downstairs.

    I like the security system. I also like that I have it on the phone. I can turn the alarm system on and off through my phone. I had a domestic violence incident a couple of weeks ago, and a technician came out and fixed an issue that took place during that time. He helped me sought out the Duress Alert app on my phone and how to work the system a lot better. He also helped me reset my password to become safer and he showed me how I can press the Duress on my phone if I can’t call through the keypads.

    Up til recently I was very satisfied with Guardian I recommend to friends and family. Recently I had my detector replaced. I asked the rep over the phone would there be a fee for the replacement. He put me on a brief hold and on return he said probably not. The technician replaced the unit and before leaving I sighed that the work was completed and again there was no mention of a charge. I went on the rep's response that There was no fee involved. About 2 weeks later I received a bill for $275.32 for a 5-20 minute installation. I was totally shocked I called customer service thinking this would be rectified but to no satisfaction. Ive been a customer for several years and have been very satisfied up to this point, loyal customers should not be blindsided when it comes to something of this nature. Had I been told prior to the outcome would have been different???

    Hi Sherry,

    Thank you for being a long-time customer of Guardian Protection! We appreciate your business and feedback very much as it will help us look further into our customer quoting processes. Our calls are recorded for quality purposes and your phone call was reviewed: the CSR who scheduled quoted Copay and "time and material". You stated there was a sticker in the CO that said replace by March 2019 and you were aware it was at its end of life. The CSR advised if it was due to end of life, copay wouldn’t apply and full time and material rates would apply. I do see that we offered a partial credit due to the misunderstanding.

    Guardian had a decent price. My wife uses the app more than I do, but I know we could be 30 miles from the house and we could set the alarm and unset it. So, it's a good feature. Guardian still has some glitches in the system. We had problems and we had to call them out and they had to redo the system, but they did take care of it, and now, it works okay. And before they leave, they should test their equipment. The first guy that installed the equipment spent almost zero time with us explaining the system. But I told the next guy that came out, "I'm 64. I don't have a clue about new technology." So, he sat us down and he went through it step-by-step where we could understand it as older people.

    The neighborhood that I live in is a fairly new development, and the majority of people here have Guardian for their. I liked what they did better than ADT. I have a friend that has ADT and he was telling me why I should go with ADT. I talked with them and I talked with Guardian, and Guardian was much easier to work with. We bought a house and had an older alarm system unit. When Guardian came out to make all the proper connections, they walked us through every step of how to use the panel. I stood with the guy while he went over everything and he was explaining to me what he was doing and why, then explained how to work the system from nuts to bolts. And we've subsequently had them come back and install CO detectors.

    We've had a question recently when we had a relative here over the Thanksgiving holiday that had brought a dog along. So when we left the house, I knew that I couldn't set the regular alarm. I called Guardian and they walked me through what was the right setting to go and there's an example. They've always been very courteous. We have an older pad but it functions absolutely fine. And it does everything we needed to do. We had a problem early on with some batteries and breaking glass detectors, and they told me exactly what to do and I did it and it's working fine.

    Guardian is much superior than the other provider that I've used in the past. Their tech seemed very capable. I needed a strobe put in because I have a hearing problem, and he haven't done that before, but he sat and figured it out and got it in just fine. He had to order the strobe light and come back a second day. They don't carry them. I happen to live in a town that has a lot of elderly and disabled people as well as the state's school for the deaf. So given the demographics here, there are people who would use the strobe light. And if they realized they had it, they would probably want it. But other than that, it was a very professional, polite, and pleasant interaction.

    I am in a wheelchair, and I have mobility and physical issues, and I also have hearing problems. I like the fact that I can take the panel from room to room with me and have it at hand where I can deal with it instead of having it up. The system I had before was on the wall and I had to stand up out of my wheelchair and reach above me to use it, which was quite inconvenient. But with Guardian, it's wherever I need it to be. I can also do the same way with the strobe and siren system, which is a little plug-in thing that goes into the wall like your system.

    The other system that I had would announce whenever there was a tornado warning for my particular area. There was a kind of a beeping tone that would come across to let me know, and a message that appeared on the screen that there was a tornado within my area. I needed to be aware of that as a safety feature. I do miss that and I wish Guardian does that too. Also, I really wish there was a manual that came with it. I have a great deal of difficulty figuring things out by guess and by gosh, and I'm very good with electronics. I wish it was a small six-page pamphlet that explains, "If you want to do this, this is how you do it or this is what this feature is," type thing.

    The strobe light makes me feel very much more secure. I have a feeling that several times people come to my door and I don't even know they're there. I have had a few times when people have tried to deliver packages and I've had to call them to come back two or three times and told them they have to call me and let me know that they were at the door because I would not come to pick up the package because I wouldn't know they were at my door. That was a little bit scary.

    The tech set up the system in the main room, so it's where it is most of the time, but when I go to bed at night, I take the strobe and the pad in my room with me as well as I have a wristband. He also was able to hook it up to go through by telephone and internet. With the other system I had before, I had a wired house internet. They couldn't put that through which didn't make much sense to me. So now, I feel much better because I've got this band that's on my wrist that I can take with me. I can access it with my cellphone as well as I can move the pad around where I am.

    I had fallen twice in my house when I had the other system. I had really stumbled and my footing ran away from me and I ended up sitting on the floor, and I couldn't get back up. I had to crawl to my cellphone because I couldn't even reach the security pad since I had to stand up to hit it to make it go off. But with Guardian, I feel much more secure that I've got enough systems if that happened again.

    At the time we got the system we were very concerned about the break-in because we were home. My husband was upstairs watching TV and I was in a room on the other side of the house, in the back of it, and we were both here and we didn't hear them break the locks on the window to get in. So, we wanted to make sure that we got some sort of protection. We didn't spend a lot of time looking into the systems because we just wanted to be sure we got some protection. We went with Guardian because the gentleman who came out was really good in talking to us and explaining to us. He was thorough, easy to talk to and kind, and made us feel comfortable with going with Guardian. And then the installation was timely, didn't disturb us, and didn't take up much of our time.

    However, I'm not quite satisfied though with the motion part because we have only one motion detector, and on numerous occasions, we forgot that it was on and it didn't go off right away. Somebody could break in. If they got in through the door or the window that would set it off. But we moved around a lot in here when the motion detector really didn't notice it. That gives me some cause for concern. If we would open a window, the alarm sounds. We're aware of it. So, everything else seems to be working fine. I know that if somebody broke into the house that the system would go off at the door or at the window.

    I'm just not fully satisfied with the fact that sometimes, it does take the motion detector a while to pick up some movements. In fact, last Sunday, I came downstairs and I came into the kitchen. I know it doesn't get the whole kitchen, but it should get me going back and forth like between my refrigerator and my sink. I moved around two or three times before the thing went off which scared the daylights out of me because I realized I forgot to turn it off. But I was thinking, I was really moving around in here and that thing never went off. But I know that it's protecting us because I think about the total system and I know that it would cover us.

    I signed up with a company called Spectracom 2 years ago. Upon signing up with them the gentleman who signed me up was very talkative and assured me I could always reach out to them or Guardian if I had any questions. My contract was supposed to be for 2 years but in small print it said 60 months. Which brings me to my first issue. Clearly I only wanted signed up for 2 years which the gentleman clearly told me was the length in which I was signing up at. Now I do acknowledge I should of read the fine print. However I was also told that the security system could work by using our cellphones as well. Which it cannot.

    I only found this out when I canceled my telephone service MONTHS ago and just got a call that they aren't receiving anything from our alarm system. I go through the paperwork and neither box was checked on for where it states I must have a landline or cellphone line to use the system. Call guardian up and the representative told me that it says it on his copy and that my carbon copy must have “erased” off of it, yet everything else is clearly on their and not removed.

    Secondly I had a technician come out since they were not receiving any type of signal from our system and the tech tells me that our alarm system is discontinued and will need replaced for the cost of $620 plus installation fees but for today only they will waive installation fees. This is absolutely ridiculous. So I asked to back out of my contract because I have been dissatisfied for awhile because of the contract being so long and now it's all this money to replace a system I am paying monthly on...so when asked to cancel they tell me i must pay over $1200 to cancel my service... Headache from the start. I would shop around everywhere you could and read everything before signing the contract because he was a very smooth talker and sucked me in....now all I want is out and I’m stuck with either a large fee or a broken system that doesn't work.

    Guardian Protection was the system in place when we moved here 22 years ago. Their service as is, is fine, but the system is 20-some years old and they should have been knocking on my door 10 years ago. I requested a salesperson to come out and give me a quote for an upgrade and propose something. They sent a technician who didn’t know anything. He was very savvy on how to fix things. But he wasn’t a salesperson so he didn’t know what options were available, what the price was. He had no sales ability to propose something to me. He just said, “Just look around. Let me know which you want, call in, and they’ll give you a quote.”

    They are very expensive. They’re $35 a month and we have the minimum coverage. If I had time, I would have already replaced it. But I asked the technician for a brochure or something to look at, or some ideas, and he just didn’t really have anything. I wanted to add cameras. I wanted to add more security features with the new technology. I wanted to move away from wired to wireless. I was looking for a true sale consulting and he was not a consultant. He was very smart and he knew the product line, how to fix it, but he wasn’t prepared for a sales call. I took a day off to meet with him and I was very disappointed.

    I’m not really happy with them. This would be the second time I called and asked for more information and I have gotten nowhere. I shouldn’t have to beg them to send me information but they have given me nothing to go on. And it’s possible they don’t want to support this area any longer because they don’t have enough customers. If they wanted my business, they could have had it and I’m done so I’m moving on.

    Guardian has good price and great customer service. Any time I've had a question, I call them up and they say, “No worries. We'll send somebody out, we'll get it fixed, we'll teach you how to do it,” and they'll move on with their day. It's really like it's no worries for them. When I first started with Guardian, they were not the highest level of features and benefits. The coolest one they have is the cellphone backup rather than needing a landline. They’ve had that since the beginning. So, with features and benefits, they're about the same as everybody else. They’re pretty competitive on pricing, but everybody is in this market. The only thing that sets them above is their customer service.

    Our previous house was pre-wired for Ranger America, but Guardian did the rest of the installation. In our second house, Guardian did the installation and it went flawlessly. This house was not wired for an alarm system at all and it has a sunroom, so they installed an extra glass break sensor to cover that room entirely, plus the one for the main house. The system that I have in this house is all touch panel, and it’s very user-friendly.

    We’ve had Guardian Protection Services ever since we lived here. It was the most reasonable one and the best install situation for us when we moved here. The only problem was when we did the new install, their reps came out and did it for us. The system works, but it doesn't work properly. My concern is not knowing that every time we need a technician to come out, it costs us $80 to $100. We have reached out to Guardian about it and any time we have, usually they’ll tell us they can’t send somebody out unless we wanna pay the $80 for the person that’s coming out. I don't even pay that much for the bill. Why would I pay them $80 to come fix our stuff?

    When the system does work, it works well and they are good about being on top of it. At this point, we’re paying 40 something dollars a month just because we’re trying to keep our homeowner’s insurance from going up. But it’s not really benefiting us because if we wanna set the alarms when we’re not home, we get a lot of mixed signals from the panel telling us that this sensor isn’t working, or it’s not connecting. We just got tired of dealing with it. At this point, we don't use it. It’s just here.

    When we first switched over from the other company to Guardian, they came out and did everything. And then they found out some of the stuff wasn't compatible for what they had in here, so they had to change it. Their tech has been out here several times. He was a very nice. Unfortunately, I get charged $25 every time he comes out. So I'm upset about that because it's their equipment, which they put in here and I'm getting charged for it. They said it was for a service call, which I don't agree with and I did not know that at the time when I took on Guardian and signed a contract with them. So I'm stuck with them.

    But they are good as far as the service goes. They notify me, like false alarms, etc. And I do like their phone app really well. When we are away and we forget to arm the house, I just go to the app and do it. And if we go away, which we have in the wintertime for six weeks, and our son would say, "Dad I need to stop at the house," I'd say, "Okay. Just let me know and I'll turn the alarm off." And when he leaves, I just turn it back on. So that part was good.

    I’m happy with Guardian although I get upset, because every time the alarm goes off, the monitor will not turn at all. We put our number in, it does nothing. I asked for a new monitor and the woman assured me that would be done. But when the repairman came, he said that they didn't write that. He said to call them back and tell the rep. They'll make sure that I get that and then the guys will have to come back out once they get the monitor and install it. But I was well served by Guardian's repairman. He was great. He came to find out the day it was almost coming off of the wall and the reason, he said, was that wasn’t installed right. Whoever installed that only installed it with one screw and it’s supposed to be installed with two screws. He put a new one up and installed it with two screws. He didn't charge me for that because it wasn’t installed right.

    The system goes off when it shouldn’t go off and then when my wife puts the alarm code back in to shut it off, it doesn’t do anything. It just keeps on ringing. She’s very nervous, so she gets all upset because it won’t turn off. I have to turn around and call the company and tell them to please shut the alarm off and they do. Also, when the doorbell rings, it doesn’t automatically go to the camera. I have to put it in my phone to bring it out. If somebody pushes the doorbell and then you’re not home, you don’t get it but you get the alarm. It doesn’t come on. It just tells you, “You had somebody push your button on your doorbell.” And then you put it in the thing, you bring it out, and if you don’t wanna keep it, you delete it. I don’t like that. If somebody rings that doorbell at 2 o’clock in the morning, they can be gone before I can ever get to see who it is. I like the system. It just won’t do what I think it should do.

    We had ADT but they raised their prices all the time and they weren’t always prompt at calling me when I had an alarm go off. If they couldn't reach me, they still didn’t send anybody to the house. And Guardian is way better. Their price has been well fixed. And they've always called and they’ve always been right there. They’re always willing to send somebody to the house. They’re really good about when they call, asking for the password, and they’re really good about offering to do something. The other day, my husband was home making some pumpkin pie and they smoked up a little. They called me right away and asked if I needed a firefighter out here because they have smoke going on. I said, “I don’t think so, but this is his number and his name and he’s at the house.” They called him right away and asked him if he needed any help. So they’re really good about following through with everything.

    The installation was really good too because I already had all the equipment from before and they just switched over, put in their keypad. They reprogrammed everything so it’s a lot easier for me to figure out which one’s going off when it says it on the keypad. They said, ‘What do you want to call this room? What do you want to call this window?” Now I know exactly. So when it goes off, I know what it’s saying. I know where the location is. They’re really good about that. And I had a water devise. Guardian normally don’t have it but there’s one and they programmed it in for me.

    So far, I got every window and every door protected in my house. I love their smartphone app. Last night, I went to bed and remembered I didn’t set the alarm. I didn’t have to get up. I just picked up my phone and made sure I set it. Also, we might go to some place and if it's not set, then we just set it with the phone. With Guardian Protection, we’re safe as far as knowing if somebody breaks into the house or if I have a water issue or anything. I feel real confident about it when we’re gone.

    We had our Guardian Protection Alarm system installed in Jan 2016. We have seriously had nothing but trouble with it to the point that we can't use it because it has a mind of its own. It will go off on its own and the team that answers the call will tell us "yeah you really shouldn't set it because it may go off". They have sent technicians to our home to replace equipment but then sure enough it starts to malfunction again. Then they want to charge a service fee each time when it's their system that does not work properly.

    Oh and wait, you are locked into a 6 year contract so good luck when it doesn't work. They expect you to pay them for a system that doesnt work properly and are completely shocked when you ask for a refund, for again, a system that doesn't work properly. I have had the police at my home for false alarms more times that I can count in the almost 4 years I have this system which is way more times than I ever had with Brinks/ADT. In which I had them over 13+ years.

    The system currently, says half statements like,"dining room window aww", when it should say "dining room window open". We have had malfunctions in our master bedrooms, our kids bedroom, the bathroom and the dining room. Oh and it takes weeks, maybe months for them to call about scheduling a service technician. But yes I am still required to pay my monthly fee, which I do religiously. I continue to keep up my end of the contract even when they don't as a company. I am so disappointed in their system. Steer clear!

If they had the right parts on trip one, I wouldn't have had to make a second appointment. So not only will they not credit me for the services they did not perform, they inconvenienced me twice because they couldn't outfit their techs correctly. They constantly blamed me the customer after not monitoring my account and after inconveniencing me twice. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

    We were with ADT then they moved away and somebody else covered it. Then they disappeared and Guardian came up so we went with them. The system is better than some of the stuff we've had. The installers seemed very competent. They replaced some of the stuff that ADT had there that was visible from our living room with a more discreet one. It's in our laundry room so unless you actually go in the laundry room, which is between the other stuff and the garage, you can't see it. Guardian charged us for coming out and fixing something, which I guess was okay, but when that didn't work and they had to come back out, they charged us again.

    We're doing great with Guardian Protection. We had a different home security system. So far, the quality of Guardian versus what the other one was a lot better. Example is that if you have an issue, the response time is so much more convenient or faster to the consumer than the other system was. The buttons keep sticking and I had to fiddle with it, and they told me to take alcohol to clean it. I said, “No. I got the service for y’all guys to do it. So you’d better do it, not me.” So, a couple days passed and they finally arrived. With Guardian, I had an issue with my garage door opener and I got very fast response on that.

    Everybody’s been very polite, professional and courteous. The guys during the installation were pretty good. The features that are in my system are what I needed. I am also able to access the security system through my smart phone. As long as you have a good internet, it does really well. If it's away from an internet system, it takes a little bit longer, but it does come up. Guardian has been very professional about all aspects of the installation, the troubleshooting, and the interactions.

They had to put some adaptor in here because they weren’t going to change anything out. They’re using the ADT equipment. They argued about the fact that my smoke detector wasn’t compatible and therefore the guy wasn’t gonna install a new one. I got pissed at him. He made a phone call and they told him to install it for me. They only installed minimal equipment and they hit me with a pretty heavy fee.

    The salesman also said they weren’t gonna take any money out of my account. The following day, they took $300 out. I got lied to by the representative of the company and that’s what got me pissed. Because of him, I wouldn’t recommend the company. I’m really disappointed in the fact that I got duped but the services has been fine. I had some problems and they came out right away and fixed them.

But I have a panel in the basement that has all our routing in it, and it’s kinda like spaghetti. Instead of being routed wires, it’s just kinda thrown in there. And it’s really hard to trace wires, so we’re not really happy about that. When I moved in, I saw it and I said, “Well, that don’t look very pretty.” They didn’t say sorry. They didn’t really say anything. They kinda avoided the situation. The area where it’s at is fine but the box is too small for all the stuff I have in it that they wired into my house. They should’ve used a bigger box or panel so that they could route things nicer and neater.

    We turn the system on and we turn it off. And we set it off when we forget that it’s on. So that, and then our sound system that they put in the house are okay. It’s working.
