They are not very customer friendly. I divorced and said I still have to pay monthly bill. I would not recommend them because they trap you in long contracts and expect you to pay it all to terminate. I should only owe for equipment I have outstanding not to pay out for services I don’t receive.

Megan Lake Wales, FL

I was told 1 year ago that I was signing up for a year contract for this security system. Here we are a year later, and this turns into a 36 month contract when I try to cancel. The salesman I signed up with told me this was a year contract and didn't mention cancellation fees at all. Scammers! Worst company I've dealt with!

Hi Megan. I apologize for you feeling like you have been "scammed". GHS holds ourselves to a very high level of integrity and does not condone any kind of untruthful behavior from our team members. In order to be very transparent with our customers, our customer care team records a call with all new customers defining the terms of the contract. We do have this call uploaded to your account. We do care very deeply about making sure you are satisfied during our 36 month partnership together. Please feel free to contact us to discuss your account in detail. We would love to upgrade your system or address any other concerns you may have. (855)447-4961.

Terrible customer service. Been trying to cancel my service for about a week and every time they say someone will call me back to cancel and they never do. Now they have charged my account another payment. I think they do this on purpose so it is difficult to cancel and then maybe you won’t cancel. Stay away if customer service is someth

Shawna Aubrey, TX

I had a service technician come out for a free check. Was told everything was good and just to sign saying that he had checked everything and no problems were found. Come to find out that it was a 3 year extension. I have had to sell my home due to layoff and now am indebted for something I did not know I was signing.

All the complaints are true in my experience. Bad customer service, faulty equipment, unethical follow up on contract. I have sent a certified letter and recorded phone conversations to ensure cancellation when the "renewed 1 year contract" expires.
