Alarm or Security System Installation
I have been a Guardian customer for almost 10 years. I have their system on both of my properties. I had not had any issues with Guardian until recently. My doorbell/camera have been out of commission since 5/8/2025. I have been waiting for a Guardian subcontractor to come out to repair/replace since 5/8/2025. I find it hard to believe that this large, nationwide security company does not have inhouse techs for situations like this or cannot find a certified contractor. I am so frustrated. And if I cancel my contract (because their equipment is not functioning) I have to payout the balance of the contract,

I would not recommend them. Their contractors never showed up and they don't even have their own installers. They hire other contractors to do their work.
Response from Guardian Protection Services, INC

We do work with some contractors and partners in areas where our branches' installers cannot service, but we strive to make sure the experience is always a good one regardless. Sincerely, Katelyn G.

They nickel and dime you. I get charged for every little thing, including when they miss an appointment. I am counting down the days until my contract is up.
