Satisfied
We are pleased to report that with the help of Michael Morton, the sales manager, our issues (detailed below) with EMC have been resolved. We initially contracted with EMC to convert an old ADT security system. The technician that came to convert our system was very knowledgeable, and quickly determined that our detectors were not compatible with the new EMC system. This necessitated the installation of new sensors at a considerably higher cost. As a consequence, we ended up purchasing a more bare-bones system with less coverage at a significantly higher cost than was originally estimated for conversion. While all EMC representatives behaved in a professional manner, neither the phone nor the sales representative that came to our home was knowledgeable enough to assess whether or not our old system could in fact be converted. Only when the technician came to convert the system were we informed that our old system couldn’t be converted. Again while our overall experiences with EMC were good (especially the skill of the installation technician), we strongly suggest that when a customer requests a conversion of an existing system that a trained technician assess the potential compatibility of the old system with the new before any contractual arrangements are made.

Retiredprof - Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with EMC Security and the kind words for our installation and technical staff. Conversions of existing systems are extraordinarily difficult because of the varying types of security equipment and installation companies. Many installing companies will use a familiar product brand but take steps to lock out or encrypt the equipment to prevent other security providers from using the equipment. This practice is deplorable because the homeowner that purchases this equipment can only use it if they remain with the installing company. EMC Security installs equipment that any provider can monitor, and we do not require any contract for our monitoring service – this insures our customers receive only the best care and attention. That being said, I agree that an evaluation of the system by one of our consultants should have helped to ferret out whether or not the system was locked out and if the replacement system was necessary, although it is not always possible to determine through inspections and sometimes only system programmers or technicians can determine if a system is locked out during the activation process. Despite regular training and all of our existing consultants years of experience, every once in a while an event like this occurs. We endeavor work with customers that find themselves in this position and I would like the opportunity to speak with you at your convenience to discuss the situation in greater detail with the goal of improving your perception of our service and value to five stars. Please feel free to call me at 770-963-0305. I look forward to speaking with you. Michael Morton, Sales Manager, EMC Security

Excellent Customer Experience
I converted to EMC Security today after years of being in a contract with a company that charges twice as much for sloppy work. During this conversion, I have only been treated with the utmost courteousy from the sales team to the technician. My technician, Wesley F., was on-time, knowledgeable, courteous, and thorough. The previous company had never mentioned that I had a battery in the panel box that may need changing at some point, nor did they show me where the transformer was in my attic as Wesley did. Wesley pointed out that the previous company left the wires to one of the zones disconnected. That was a shock. He tested all the zones again to make sure that my system is operating properly. Thus far, I'm glad I did trust Dale (trustdale.com)and give EMC Security a try.

Price of the system
I'm getting a system with EMC, but the price of having a wireless is high to me, extra $200 for that. Seems as many people do not have home phones services that the price of this would be a litlle cheaper. Only chose the system because of parents, but whith the price should have went with another company.



Call back and really no change..said what was quoted and offered was the best they could do, talk to a lady who by the way did not give her name.

PrettyEyes Update Response: We realize this is somewhat confusing, and EMC Security attempts to offer options that will fit a wide variety of customer situations. I'm more than happy to review all of the options with you in detail. Melinda, who you spoke with provided you the wireless communicator purchase options (which it sounds like you already had). It sounds like she did not discuss the rental options with you, which will help to mitigate the up front cost you referenced in your posting. Please contact me so I can insure all of the options are clearly outlined so you can select the best option for you. Michael Morton, Sales Manager, EMC Security - 770-963-0305 ORIGINAL RESPONSE: Thank you very much for choosing EMC Security to protect your home. We appreciate the confidence you have placed with our company. You are correct, there are a growing number of homes that have decided to no longer bear the expense of a home phone line, and require an alternative communication path for their alarm service. We have some very good options for alarm communications when no phone line exists. If you will contact me, I will provide you with some alternatives to buying the wireless communicator, including a small monthly fee for the wireless unit rather than paying upfront. We also have developed a communication system that uses your broadband internet connection to communicate to our local central station. This is an excellent alternative to a standard home phone line for alarm communication. If you will call me at the EMC Security offices, we will work with you to insure you have the best system at the most competitive price. Mike Morton, Sales Manager, EMC Security 770-963-0305

Best Alarm Service We've Had
My family has lived in Atlanta all our lives. We've lived in Chamblee, Suwanee, and now Alpharetta. We have been been victims of thieves and bad alarm companies who gave expensive service and terrible service. The thieves I can't control, but I can control what alarm company I choose. Finaly, have found the best one. From the sales person and technician were the finest we've met. When they installed the service, he even cleaned up the area himself before he left. The customer service has been impeccable. Great monthly price and service. Please don't ever change.
