Guardian Alarm announces the acquisition of Executive Security Consultants in Columbus, OH

Established in 1988 by Doug and Sandy Huey, Executive Security Consultants (ESC) provides residential and commercial alarm services in the greater Columbus area. Together, they worked countless hours to ensure they were providing peace of mind to their customers. This acquisition continues this legacy as both companies provide exemplary, personalized customer service, but also have a family-like culture that exists within their teams.

“Guardian Alarm has been serving the Columbus market for many years and we look forward to welcoming the employees and customers of Executive Security Consultants,” said Brent Uhl, President and Chief Executive Officer of Guardian Alarm. “Executive Security Consultants has delivered reliable customer service in the Columbus metro area for over thirty years.

Sales team came out and inspected our home and recommended replacement security products that incorporated our existing hard wired sensors. Technicians were prompt, courteous and patient given some complexities in the installation requirements. All work was completed on the same day, tested and we were shown how to use the system.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Richard! We're glad the installation went smoothly. We appreciate you choosing Guardian!

I had three doors replaced in my house and garage. I haven’t painted the trim yet but the alarm sensors had to be reinstalled. The service technician Mike did a great job. He was prompt, courteous and professional.
I couldn’t ask for better service.
Hopefully Mike gets some recognition for his fine work.
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Dave! We're glad to hear Mike was prompt, coureous, and professional while reinstalling your alarm sensors. We trult appreciate your kind words and will be sure to pass them along!

Dennis I. came to install our system and he was fantastic. Showed up on time, was knowledgeable, and worked with us since we had to keep production running. As the appointment ended he even showed me a few tips on using the system that I was unaware of, it was great to realize what the “stay” mode meant, and that I could turn the chime on or off at will. Thank you Dennis and team!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the five-star review, Tyler! We're so glad Ed was able to resolve the issue quickly and provide such personable, thorough service.
