Great help in upgrading my 12 year old alarm system myself.
We bought a house with an existing First Alert alarm system installed. It worked but we were afraid to make any modifications as it seemed very complicated and closed to DIYers. The installer no longer did residential and all local installers would only offer new systems with monitoring which we didn't want.
We came across Alarm Grid via their videos and were able to modernize it and update some failing sensors ourselves. The support was top notch - we bought components to upgrade and they walked us through all the steps to implement - patient and knowledgeable. I rarely provide ratings unless the service was exceptional and in this case, I'm happy to provide this review.

We had a previous service provider and compared to this now is night and day Kalen D was great since day one of activation, this company is on top of bussiness i was doing a simple test on windows sensors and got a call right away, i am so happy with this switch.
They have my loyalty for a reason
I have purchased several alarm systems for various locations over the years from Alarm Grid. They always give good prices on top brands, have quick shipping and are always there to help with questions. The numerous DIY videos they have put together, which are excellent and easy to understand, are what gave me the nerve to put in the first alarm system myself.
Only once have I had an issue with a piece of equipment that I bought from them. It had been flawlessly in Service for almost a year, and began to register False power outages. I called Alarm Grid, they worked with me to Determine the cause, decided it was a warranty issue and promptly sent me a replacement unit and offered any follow-up help I needed to get it up and running. In a perfect world, all companies would Take care of their customers in this manner. If you haven’t noticed, it’s not a perfect world, but thankfully, we have Alarm Grid, and that’s a start. I Give them my highest recommendation.

Alarmgrid is the best!
I've been using Alarm Grid for more than 10 years now for multiple locations. They go above and beyond in their services and customer care. I highly recommend them. Darell did an excellent job in helping me resolve some controller issues.
Happy new customer!
Great costomer support and care. Set up was super simple with Darrell K. - he made sure everything worked and did not make it feel rushed at all, was willing to answer any and all of my questions. I would recommend making the switch to Alarm Grid to anybody that is unhappy with their current provider.

Our activation appointment with Darrel…
Our activation appointment with Darrel K. was very efficient. We have had a security system previously but it was not monitored. Darrel very slowly walked us through the entire process being very patient and explaining how and why the testing was done.
I feel very secure having a company like this backing the product we have installed. I highly recommend this company.

Competent and customer focused
Pre-sales support is impressive. All questions answered quickly and thoroughly. The activation process couldn’t have gone more smoothly and was completed in a few minutes. The monthly monitoring fee is reasonable.

I am blown away by the high level of service and knowledge. Darrell is a wealth of knowledge and has the patience of a saint. He made this system function as it should and walked me through the more technical aspects. Vista 128 system with multiple partitions. Why would anyone use a different provider? Wish there was a way to send him a tip, thank you!
5 stars then, 5 stars now
I was a previous customer years ago and had a great experience then. I came back as a customer again based off of that and I was not disappointed. Prices on equipment and service plans are reasonable, service is great (for whatever isn't self-service or otherwise automated, they're quick to follow up with a live person to take care of things), about all I can ask for. Kalen D was prompt and professional and got me squared away with what I couldn't take care of myself.

The team at Alarm Grid team's knowledge and experience is exceptional. From purchase to activation they are very available for any questions or advice. I recommend their solutions and services for any home or business.
Truly Great
This company goes above and beyond expectations. I have worked with a lot of alarm installers and monitoring stations in US and Europe - way-over-charging, arrogance, vagueness, rudeness, hiding information to preserve their monopolies, has been the norm for decades. AlarmGrid noticed this market-space and is the exact opposite of the classic alarm industry. They go out of their way to help you set up your system, they locate problems you may have missed, they encourage you to do-it-yourself, they show patience for issues/errors you made that they have seen 100's of times. Their fees are very fair and their staff is super-polite with old-fashioned courtesy. Trust is a very, very rare thing these days, but from my experience this company can be trusted.
I recently switched to AlarmGrid
I recently switched to AlarmGrid, and the experience was fantastic. The transition was seamless, and their team answered every question I had. They even helped me set up and program my system perfectly.
AlarmGrid is ideal for DIY users who want to maintain and update their own security system. Their support is incredibly helpful, and the cost is far cheaper than the big box security companies. I couldn’t be happier with the switch!
Super easy sign-up
Super easy sign-up. Great help all along the way.easy and all working in quick time. Thank you for all your help. Highly recommend
