OLillian Baker Atlanta, GA

First of all I would like to give high praise to April who I spoke with today and let me unload 5 months of frustration on her while being apologetic and professional. April deserves to be commended! When April went as far as she could she contacted Stephanie who was on a call but promised to promptly return my call; and she did. Stephanie allowed me to vent and felt my frustration of talking to your company for 5 months without any resolution. Stephanie reviewed my account and promptly arranged the refund I requested! I must say divine intervention took place today with these wonderful ladies; I started not to call because I didn’t want the run around again, but I followed my first mind and did! I am now a happy former customer. I would have stayed with Ackerman if asked to consider their updated services with equipment with the ring doorbell. No one offered anything comparable to what I wanted. I never had a complaint against Ackerman as a customer; in fact I recommended you to people. However after what I considered sub par customer service the last 5 months while trying to obtain a refund for charges after I ended my relationship with Ackerman. I became disappointed with Ackerman. I only wanted funds returned to me that you charged after I left your company! However thanks to April and Stephanie who both should be commended; my faith in Ackerman has been restored and maybe I will be your customer again one day!😌

Ed in Clarkston Clarkston, GA

It has been my fortune to have Ackerman Security for about 12 years. I'm a Senior citizen living alone with no close family. Every time I pass the main Control Panel, I look upon it as a live-in Personal Assistant. My equipment has never failed or malfunctioned. It is the original equipment from 12 years ago. I have set off the alarm due to my own error on several occasions and IMMEDIATELY at all times a friendly call came inquiring if everything were okay. On 2 occasions, I set off the alarm due to a lot of smoke from cooking. The smoke alarm reacted immediately. Two years ago I had a kitchen fire due to equipment malfunctioning. In trying to put it out to save my home, I inadvertently burned slightly a hand and arm. As usual, there was the immediate call. The Ackerman representative was so courteous and personal inquiring about my safety and injury. Because I was going into shock she gave me steps to take and said the DeKalb Fire Dept. and Ambulance Services were already on the way. Immediately I could hear the sirens as I live only 2 blocks away. This personal response, care and concern of Ackerman kept me from slipping into shock. When I set the alarm upon retiring nightly, I touch the Control Panel giving thanks my friends at Ackerman are there at the moment for me.

The service has been great. Since I started I haven't had very many issues and the few that I have come across over the years have been handled very quickly and professionally. The employees seem very knowledgable about their services. Of course I've thought of switching however after speaking with the loyalty department I don't know why I would when they can do so much for me being a long time customer. Highly recommend.

Bill Vienna, VA

We replaced a national company with constantly rising prices in the Virginia area. Techs have great knowledge and quickly replaced outdated equipment at half the cost of the other company. The service tech finished an incomplete installation left after a door was replaced for no additional cost. Monitoring costs are much lower and a faster response to inadvertent alarm activation. Responsive customer service and stable prices! Should be ranked much higher!

I had another company who was the installer of my equipment and had no complaints with service issues. However, they kept increasing my monitoring fee and eventually priced themselves out of my business. I switched over to Ackerman who sent out a very knowledgeable and professional sales person. I got a few extra items of equipment and a reasonable fixed monitoring rate. The times I've needed customer service, I've talked to helpful and courteous staff and great technicians when they needed to work on or replace my equipment

We had a problem with our security system. Andrew reached out to us and immediately worked to rectify the situation. Andrew was courteous, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. He understood the issue and worked to ensure that my husband and I, as consumers, were knowledgeable about the problem as well. He fixed the issue in a timely manner.

I have had a great experience with Ackerman. I was surprised how easy it was from the call setting the appointment with a consultant to install. Everyone has provided friendly and prompt customer service. Love the no theft guarantee that they have backing up their services/equipment. Would recommend to anyone wanting to protect their family.

Have had a great experience with Ackerman so far. Been a customer for almost a year now and I have been very please with the efficiency of answering alarms. We haven't had a real alarm yet, but every false alarm is answered by a person within seconds. The technician was also very pleasant and knowledgeable.

Our Sales person was very knowledgeable and offered us a lot which they delivered on with no problems. They upgraded our current system at no cost and made some minor changes that needed to be made. The Technician was there when he said he would be and even called before he headed our to our home to let us know when he would be here.
