The technician was friendly yet professional. He stated that he'd been doing that type of work for 15 years which was very reassuring to us. Two new color touchscreen control panels, door sensors, three external cameras and one internal camera was installed. In addition the existing window sensors were connected to the system. He also took time to walk us through how to use the system. The company has also offered to continue providing support as needed. Needless to say, we are very pleased.

Good experience. The installation went well. The service person was personable and provided excellent instructions. The experience was better than I anticipated based on experiences with other service people coming to my house.

We've had an American Guardian system since the late 90's. We've been very happy with the quality of equipment and service. Monitoring has been fast and spot-on when we needed it. Can't ask for much else!
