We were in need of an upgrade on our alarm system. The previous installer never returned our phone calls or emails. After multiple frustrations, we searched for a company to assist us. Larry at the Alarm Company immediately returned our phone call. We scheduled an appointment and two excellent technicians arrived and within one hour our entire system was updated and functioning perfectly. They explained the operating updates and testing everything. I would recommend them to anyone. They are very professional, courteous, and stand by their work.

We have used The Alarm company for many years now. They are a great company and are always there for us when we need them. They have more than fair pricing, amazing service, and unlike the big guys, actually know what they are doing. I definitely recommend them to everyone and anyone that needs a great quality Alarm system.

Right now Mike is here - I can not BELIEVE how amazing these guys are. Kenny led my initial install almost 4 years ago and I called in for a problem. Mike rushed over and helped debug an issue that was NOT a result of their service. SERIOUS...just WOW.

Amazing service and responses. Had an old system replaced by Larry. The price was right. They let us practice for several days before making us live. They let me ask question after question and every time I called with a new scenario, they had the answer. We had a sensor go bad and they were out that afternoon to replace it and check the system. Always friendly and willing to take the time to make sure everything is right.
