We have been assigned an excellent service person, Gary Carlisle, who is not only very competent at troubleshooting and repairing/updating our system (i.e., post-Hurricane Ian when the system was damaged and signals were not getting through to the monitoring station), he is also pleasant and reliable, he shows up when he says he will, and he follows up to make sure all is well after his service call. In the post-sales service environment for any company, support people can make all the difference in the customer's loyalty to that company . . . Gary gets it right!

Since I am moving to a place that provides security I didn't think there would be a problem. But I was wrong. They said that there would be a termination fee.

After having an alarm system installed a few weeks ago, I had inadvertently set off my alarm system…read morerecently and noticed that the Cental Alarm Monitoring service had not contacted me and so after calling them and reporting as a false alarm I was informed they had not received the transmission. Given the holiday weekend the technician didn't know if he could get to make a service call. He in turn called Alert Alarm Systems Owner Victor who made the service call today and between himself and his technician Rob who directed him via phone, they resolved the problem and ran tests to make sure the system worked properly. Thank you to Vincent and Rob for putting in the effort to make things right and giving me the peace of mind. Excellent Customer Service!

I scheduled an appointment for a commercial 8 hour, $2,000 dollar job at 8am February 19th. We scheduled it via email and phone the week prior with an office manager. The morning appointment did not show up on time. I call at 8:20am, first excuse was "your business hours says open 11:30am", EXCUSE #1 that is not even the correct time and it should not matter since we scheduled it for 8am. The call center employee said she would make attempts to figure out what is going on and would call me back to let me know. 8:45am and there is no contact made to me yet, I call again speaking with the same call center employee who says she left me a message, she either did not call me and lied to me about it or dialed the wrong number, either way I had to get back to them again. Excuse #2 I'm told there is "traffic", I pull up my traffic app while still on the phone and see no traffic issues all. At this point I made it clear, I would ask for a refund or a discount for wasting my time. Call center employee says, "I need to talk to my supervisor then that supervisor needs to talk to her supervisor then that supervisor would speak with the owner." I said I am happy to wait on hold. Well as it turns out most of the staff do not show to work or are available. So I have to wait again. 9am time hits, as a business owner I sacrificed my time, money could have been made, and cleared my schedule to allow an 8 hour install happen. The installation professional finally pulls up, calls and says "hey is the door open" I say yes. He was on the cell phone with the call center when he walks in, I'm sure they are finally communicating properly since I've escalated it to a refund or discount option which I am entitled to ask for being I've given up time and money for this as is. The install professional gets off the phone and says, " I'm sick today you're lucky I'm here" EXCUSE #3 and absolutely a terrible way to communicate. The call center top supervisor calls me and says, "well he had to drive to the office and pick up parts and there was traffic." EXCUSE #4 I say, it should have been done ahead of time, we scheduled for 8am. "We'll we can only offer a refund or you can have the job get started" i tell her I'd take a refund. Her response "we will mail a check within 30 days". I am in customer service for a living, I do not expect other businesses to be at the same standard I hold myself too however this was absolutely terrible.
