The fob has never worked

The fob has never worked. I am never home during the narrow office hours of the company so cannot get support needed to get it fixed. Or at least that is what I was told when trying to get it checked.

We were very happy to deal with United Alarm Systems from our first meeting with the salesperson, through installation and use. Very price competitive as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

When I was in my kitchen frying fish…

When I was in my kitchen frying fish suddenly our smoke alarm sounded due to thick smoke inside the house. I rush to the alarm control panel to turn off the alarm but before I even reach at the alarm control panel I heard my phone ringing and when I answered its the United House Alarm Company emergency response team checking on us of what is going on. I told them its fine, its just a thick smoke in my kitchen and I am going to disarm and will open my doors and windows.

The one thing I am hugely surprise is the "quickness" of their response to the (smoke / fire) alarm, its like less than in 5 seconds. Now I can confirmed that they are very reliable and very active in monitoring their clients house alarm system. Excellent job United Alarm, double thumbs up! Keep up the excellent job!
