Certified Alarm System Failed

My office and 2 others around me were just broken into, and my alarm from Certified Alarms failed to go off. Their technician said that the alarm was working but it just did not go off. Do not trust this alarm service.

I was going to give 2 stars b/c the monitoring service was as expected for 5 years but the customer service I received the past few months has been so bad this company doesn't even deserve 1. I had been with Certified for 5 years and realized earlier this year that I had been overcharged for a serv...

We have had a security system with Certified for many years. That alone speaks volumes. I have found them to be efficient and responsive whenever we encountered problems with the system. Service techs that I have dealt with were always courteous, concerned and knowledgeable about what we were dea...

I tried to cancel my service and certified alarm required that I pay for 2 months of service and pay current. They said my contract automatically renewed for a year. They never gave me any notice that it renewed. I refused to pay and good luck collecting. Thanks

My wife and I are VERY disappointed by the service from Certified Alarms. Within the last month, we had them install a new alarm system. Total cost was $1,905. This included 2 HD cameras. The installation went okay but the 2 young men that wired the home could have cared less about giving us good in...

I have been with Certified Alarm for years after a terrible experience with ADT (like they didn't hook up the smoke detectors at all). I have had a great experience with Certified and am a happy customer. They are the best value in monitored services that I have found.

Went in to ask for a simple install for my Home Theatre set up. The front desk lady, at least she had a little bit of spunk to try and find out about my question, which I appreciate her doing. The problem I had was as I waited for 20 mins for someone to get off the phone so he can speak with me. He ...

I bought an alarm system from Certified Alarm and paid them a monitoring fee for five years without a signed contract. Now they tell me the cell phone module is out of date and they can replace it for $200 or I can sign a service contract for monitoring. I told them I paid them for five years and if...

Beware of this company. Made me purchase allot of extra equipment I did not need. Installers were rookies and because of their poor installation they charged me extra money. Did not not follow good business practices when installing pre-wire alarm. Lied when they finished and made me pay the who...

I was with certified for 5 years, I decided to discontinue service, due to a job change. I paid them off and about a month later I was placed in collection for not paying the last bill. Well I paid the last bill, and i had to go through all kinds of changes to get that off of my credit. I would call...

I wish I did not have to give this company 1 star. We moved out of state. Not only did the representatives or management NOT provide the information we requested about our "lease," even when they said they would, they behaved unprofessionally with cavalier attitudes when we tried to make changes t...

We have had Certified Alarms for 20 years. It has been a great service. They have helped us update our system to be able to control it when we are away from home with the new WiFi services. We recommend them to our family and friends!! Great friendly service!

Horrible customer service. Post flood it has taken 14 phone calls and 4 visits to try to get our system repaired. They've lost paperwork, not followed up on scheduling, quoted pricing higher than the original quote multiple times, and today during final install tried to charge for 'needed' equipmen...

I made a Google account just to be able to give a review to this company.

First, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE (they're rude on the phone and will call you at least 3 times per week in regards to your alarm if you have a low battery).

I made my first appointment with them to change the battery (th...

We received good customer service on the last service call. The technician was knowledgeable and responded to our calls immediately. I've been a customer of Certified alarms for more than 15 years, not only for services provided but because of great customer service.

I pride myself on not being easily bamboozled but Certified Alarms finally succeeded. When the guy came to my house he gave me two options. One was to buy the alarm system and pay around $25.00 a month for service or pay for the system and service at $39.95 for three years with. Either way this i...
