The customer service was excellent! From my initial call with Maria to my conversation with the supervisor to the tech who came and fixed my system. Everyone was great.

My sales technician was pleasant the 1st time I met him for an estimate, but the 2nd encounter to sign contract not so good. I felt rushed as if we were holding up his time as if he needed to be somewhere else in a hurry to get somewhere else. He scheduled the time he was available the day prior to appt. Then proceeded to rush me and stated "Im fitting you in I have another appt to go too. But he scheduled me this time of his availability for this appt. Then he had a problem with the way I signed my name. I mean the audacity 😒 of someone trying to dictate your personal signature. I have never had an issue before with any other sales person. I will chalk it up to him having a bad day. If so I think he should've taken the day off instead of taking my appt. I felt very uncomfortable and not valued as a paying customer 😕. Next time I will choose another provider.

Absolutely ridiculous that my alarm malfunction and is not properly working, call Ackerman and no one will answer my call or respond to a text. It makes no sense you’re a 24/7 security company and clearly don’t have enough staff to cover calls. Outrageous! I see it’s time to go with a more reliable company.

I received an update to my system on Feb 25, 2022. I receive a written quote that my upgrade cost would be $99 which I paid at the time of scheduling my upgrad. However, 2 days later an additional $57 was taken from my account without my approval. Since then to today, I have corresponded with numerous Ackerman Representatives, both verbal and by email, and my refund has not been issued.

For the second time in two weeks i didn't have my system upgraded. First time tech showed up 5 minutes before appt and @ 6 minutes before I arrived home, he put on door slip that he arrived 15 minutes after he actually did, i was told to reschedule. second time I received a call from tech stating that they had connection issues and I would have to reschedule again. But when i left for 20 minutes he showed up and left another door tag. I tried to reach him on the number he called me from, no luck. Call Ackerman CS, on hold for 15 minutes and then transferred to someone's voicemail

My system does not communicate with Ackerman. This was due to the age of the system. A team came out several months ago and determined that it had to be replaced. This was not done. When the repairman came out today, he made the same diagnosis and was unable to repair the system. This is not what I contracted for.

The agent I spoke. with was very good, she treated me with respect and was very easy to talk with. Likewise the technician who came to service our system was knowledgeable and efficient. A pleasure to do business with Ackerman

Our technician Mark was very swift and professional. He knew exactly what needed to be done and took no time completing. Mark explained everything that was done and assured me that nothing regarding our security panel had changed. Thanks Mark for your professional and friendly demeanor.

The salesman, Mr. Peets was very professional and courteous, and not trying to price gouge me...embodying the values I remember when I was an Ackerman customer previously. I was pleased to know that even during this time of inflation, Ackerman still offers reasonable rates for quality systems. Glad to be back with the Ackerman family!!!
