Report
My experience with Active Alarm has been excellent. I've used them for many years, and they've provided security systems for 3 houses for us in that time. I have found their products, technicians, and customer service to be of great quality. I also appreciate their friendliness, professionalism, and responsiveness to my questions. When I had an issue, they went above and beyond to fix the problem efficiently. I enjoy working with small family businesses, so that's a plus, too. Recommended!
