ies list I will quit!!
Description of Work: The providers's phone numbers were bogus! The 8775333785 number is not in service and the 866 number refers you to 800 712 3000 which has a menu including a prompt for your horoscopes!...If this is an indication of Angies list services I quit. I don't want to waste my time.

Dear [member name removed], Thank you for your feedback. Guardian has several 800 numbers that are routinely checked and tested. I believe the phone number you were trying to reach was 866-533-3785. I apologize for any confusion or if you had a problem getting through. For information about special Angie’s List offers on a new Guardian security system, please call 866-533-3785. If you are an existing customer and would like to reach customer service, please call 855-268-5902. We would be pleased to assist you!

See above description.
Description of Work: My Townhome community has a contract with this company...we are forced to use this since it is part of the monthly HOA dues. Every couple of months they lose the ability to monitor your system and you have to call them to test it and resume monitoring. I would prefer another company but I don't want to pay two companies.

Description of Work: Steve Haberman came to my house and did an excellent job of explaining my choices. I had a security system, but needed one with a louder siren due to my hearing difficulty. I wanted to tranfer to another company. I did not go with Guardian because my nephew is working with another company I was pleased with Guardian's plans and pricing.

Description of Work: I cannot imagine how this company got an "A" rating on Angie's List. My initial call via their toll free number was taken by a chirpy, dense individual to whom i had to repeat myself several times. I made an appointment for a specific time. When I received their reminder call (placed just 2 hours prior to the appointment, rather than the day before), it stated that my appointment was an hour earlier than I had scheduled. Right away, I called the number they'd given me and the end result was that the person placed me on hold for almost 10 minutes, only to report that they could not reach the sales department to give them the message about the wrong time. They didn't offer to do anything more. I had to call the local office and speak with someone who, although apologetic, did not accurately handle the problem as she said she would. The Guardian rep showed up at my home (I wasn't there, but she was let in by my construction crew) at the earlier time. I showed up at the correct time and the rep met me. This was not a person who should be in sales, let's put it that way. The follow-up email I got with the quote was unprofessional and lacked description, not to mention the fact that (despite what I'd told her) she included the existing system (which was completely defunct) as part of their proposal. She wanted to use keypads that were no longer working and not connected to any wiring! Compared to the other companies from whom I received quotes, it was a joke. I couldn't even compare pricing, as the other companie' recommendations and equipment were so different. When the "salesperson" called back today, I told her my opinion and said that her company had not left me with a good impression. At my suggestion, their sales manager called me back. He addressed me by my last name, as if it were my first, basically blamed me for the original time "mistake" and then backpeddaled, saying that the person in PA who took my appt. must have messed up because they're on a different time zone, and then was just rather apathetic about losing me as a customer. I told him that I could not trust a company with my home security that had left such a disorganized, half-rater, unprofessional impression with me. They were inexpensive, but I suspect I would get what I paid for.

I am very glad I chose Guardian.
Description of Work: I had an old security system replaced. John Thiry did an excellent presentation on what I needed in a security system and what Guardian could provide me with. I had three estimates completed on that day and went with Guardian because of John's thorough and professional presentation. Harry installed the system two days later. He also was very professional and helpful. I am very satisfied with my new system and will update my report in a few months to keep you updated on the ease of use of the system and the quality of the monitoring.
