Had many issues with our security system that required multiple visits and different equipments. American Alarm did come through and fixed all issues. It did take some time but it was done and would definitely recommend them to anyone in need.

Needed help with low battery on my alarm. Eric fixed the battery problem and checked out my whole system. I very much appreciate his help and new signs and stickers. I have been with American Alatm for over 20 years and have every intention of staying with them another 20 years. Thanks Eric

Augustine was here right on time (in fact, a bit early, which was great), and patiently worked through a set of problems with my remote alarm fobs. He was very efficient and pleasant, explained things to me, and all is well. Thank you!
