Client Testimonial
“I've been nothing but happy with the service. With a 15 minute phone conversation, I was able to reprogram my old ADT alarm so they could monitor. The cost is a fraction of what I was paying with ADT, and they're right on the ball with calling if there is a trouble or alarm on the system. I never got that kind of service from ADT..”
“Excellent experience starting up Alarm Relay's monitoring service. Great price, sales staff and technical staff.”
“I recently decided to have my system monitored. My main concern was for smoke detector protection .I had my system , which was hard wired when I had my log home built in 1998. I went for many ,many years without monitoring ;but decided about 5 years ago to have it monitored .I contacted a local alarm company; who came to my home and upgraded the system. They added some wireless smoke detectors and upgraded the panel. I then had them monitor the system. I stopped monitoring 2 years ago; and contacted the same company to put me back up and monitor the alarm .I did not like the fact that they were quite difficult to work with; so that is when I contacted Alarm Relay. WOW.. what a difference; from their sales department to their technical dept; everyone was so helpful; courteous and informative. I had to basically re-set the entire system...and Pauley walked me through the entire process .My experience with Alarm Relay has been fantastic. I have such peace of mind knowing my home is protected by a great company . I look forward to many years of honest monitoring
