my service was scheduled for the morning (8-12) of wednesday march 9. I got up at 6:30 to get ready. No one came from 8-9.
I called to see when I might expect it. A time frame could not be provided but I was assured I was scheduled.
At 12 I called because no one had come. I was told my appointment had been cancelled. No one had notified me of that.
I demanded someone come out that day since my system has not been and is not able to communicate with the call center. Due to many other appointments later in the week and following week I had no other time available.
A technician was located and was able to come to the house just before 2pm on same day
The technician was outstanding. No one problem would identify what was wrong. He fixed many issues in the system going back to earlier upgrades that were not done as they should have been. He was a wonderful improvement to the experience I had from that morning.

We have been experiencing system low battery messages in the middle of the night, and the service was able to replace our battery and fine-tune a few other things while he was here. Very pleasant experience! It took a while to get the appointment, but once the tech arrived he was very professional and addressed all of our concerns (and more.)

Meeting with rep was great. Ben was patient as I asked all my questions and inquired abut pricing many times.
He was kind, considerate, and knowledgeable.

The Tech arrived and grasped the problem right away. The fix was done pretty quickly. This Tech has serviced my system several times over the years, and has given outstanding service each time.

Kenard Hodges was our technician and he gets an A plus in our book. He was pleasant, professional and very well trained. He was a pleasure to help us out with our security system. Thank you for having the smarts to have someone like Kenard working for you and interacting with your customers in an exceptional manner.

Since the January 2022 snow storm hit Stafford, VA my Ackerman security system has not worked. I have made several phone calls, spoke with several different customer service reps, but none of which could resolve the problem. The reason is because an upgrade to 5G is required and the part is not available. Although everyone I talked with is professional, courteous and responsive to my inquiries, there is no fix. Today a technician visited my residence and meticulously explained the problem. There is no estimated recovery date. The only solution appears to be "select another security service." Ackerman has great personnel but this problem continues.

Very pleased with our service visit today. Our system was de-registered. They had to come out and reprogram with the correct number and reset our tc connect account. Brian was very friendly and efficient. He stayed until all systems were switched and running correctly. Very helpful and down to earth.

Ackerman IS THE WORST COMPANY, do not use them! I waited out my contract, which did not include any warranty on the garbage security system they installed, and have been trying to cancel for 2 months now. They force you to mail them a paper in the mail in order to cancel, but they will never send you the form. When you call to ask what is happening with the cancellation, they claim to have no record that you even called and say they will start a new claim.
