Guardian Alarm announces the acquisition of Executive Security Consultants in Columbus, OH

Established in 1988 by Doug and Sandy Huey, Executive Security Consultants (ESC) provides residential and commercial alarm services in the greater Columbus area. Together, they worked countless hours to ensure they were providing peace of mind to their customers. This acquisition continues this legacy as both companies provide exemplary, personalized customer service, but also have a family-like culture that exists within their teams.

“Guardian Alarm has been serving the Columbus market for many years and we look forward to welcoming the employees and customers of Executive Security Consultants,” said Brent Uhl, President and Chief Executive Officer of Guardian Alarm. “Executive Security Consultants has delivered reliable customer service in the Columbus metro area for over thirty years. With this merger, we will be able to expand their services to include fire and alarm services to area businesses and municipalities.”

“Guardian Alarm has a great reputation in security monitoring services,” said Doug and Sandy Huey. “Since we started Executive Security Consultants (ESC), our goal has always been to deliver the best technology and reliable services to our customers. Guardian Alarm has demonstrated they share this vision and will continue this legacy under their ownership.”

“This acquisition in the Columbus market will provide Guardian Alarm with a strong market presence and will allow us to serve more customers in this growing area. As we continue our aggressive growth strategy to increase subscribers and revenue, our existing and future customers will benefit from the expanded services and technology,” Uhl said.

Just wanted to share that our Guardian Alarm system install team Michael, TJ and Cameron were all outstanding. The crew had to come out twice because the extremely cold weather initially posed a problem. Michael was so thorough with all the details of our installation and made sure our questions were answered. TJ and Michael also made sure that we were okay with camera positions and alarm device placement before they permanently installed them. They truly worked with us every step of the way and provided great customer service.

Response from the owner:Thank you for such thoughtful feedback, Lori! It's so great to hear that Michael, TJ and Cameron provided outstanding service throughout your installation, even with the challenges of cold weather. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team!

My wife and I are so very pleased with Kate Star at Guardian Alarm systems here in Columbus, Ohio. She is always so responsive and helpful any time I have a question or an issue that needs to be addressed. Guardian alarm as a company is a great home protection service (we've used them for the past couple of years) and I highly recommend them to you. We just renewed our 3 year contract.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We truly appreciate your feedback, and it means the world to our team to know you had a positive experience. We’re grateful to have you as a valued Guardian customer.
