They give me peace of mind, especially when traveling out of town. I like having the relative peace of mind that our house is secure while we are home and especially while traveling away from home. The installer was great and all phone contacts with Allied Fire & Security have been professional. I have no experience with other security companies, but when our alarm has gone off by accidental activation the phone response time by Allied Fire & Security (to verify if alarm is perhaps false) seems a bit slow at times. The verification calls seem to come at about 1-2 minutes (usually closer to 1 minute) after the alarm is activated, which seems slow to me (I shut it off within 10-15 seconds of activation and wait for their phone call). I guess I would expect about 20-40 seconds to be more appropriate. We have only had one "false" alarm while away from home, in which they sent out the Sheriff's Department. No one could explain why it activated, but everything was intact upon our return. Overall, I am satisfied and would recommend a home alarm with monitoring for anyone looking for that extra security feature. I also recommend enhancing or reinforcing your door locks.

The people who are in charge of sales … The people who are in charge of sales are really good, it appears that they try to be honest about what they can and can't do. The installation people were really good as well. I asked questions and they worked with me on what could be done with what I wanted. The people in the billing department need a lot of work on communication which includes listening!!! I also did not appreciate the snarky tone they have when I ask questions if I don't understand something. Then it seems that they put you on hold for a really long time if they disagree with you!!!! They messed up how I wanted this billed out. Something happened between the installation guy filling out paperwork that I signed that didn't get to the billing people. I averaged my experience, I would have given billing one star and the other departments four.

Allied Security is very respnsive and relaible For 20 years I have managed security needs for several locations for my job as a Police Officer and my own personal residence. In that time I have worked closely with Allied Security. I find the staff to be very knowlegeable and ready to help with any of my needs. They are very responsive and reliable when called upon. They are a local company that very much serves the needs in security or all job sizes. I have refered Allied Security to friends and family many times and all have been very happy with thier service.

Professional, knowledgeable, prompt We have been with Allied for 10 plus years and have never had a problem or complaint with their service, with the way we have been treated and their product. We did a lot of research before we purchased a security system and Allied won hands down. If we were to do it over, we ail choose them again.

Avoid Allied Fire and Security Over the Christmas 2016 holidays Allied Fire and Security failed to notify us for eight days of low temperature conditions at my home and office that resulted in the total loss and required replacement of our plumbing. It has been 8 months since the event and I have been in touch with the company by phone and in person and only received unfulfilled promises that they will “look into it and follow-up”. My nearly bi-weekly contacts have included several service technicians, the customer service manager, the Spokane branch manager and finally the owner. Judging from other complaints about Allied Fire and Security, both here and on other websites, as well as credible employee reviews I conclude this is a poorly run company, with a constipated culture, selling an out of date and failure prone technology. There are far better solutions, such as the one provided by Xfinity and other IP providers that provide better service at a lower cost and with higher reliability. We no longer entrust Allied with the safety and security of our home and business. I would not recommend that anyone else do either.
