Hello:
Even though I cannot avail of Astro Guard Alarms services due to my location I would like to thank the Manager (Chris) for helping me with my many questions I had regarding a particular Security System I am considering that they offer. I have been having difficulty finding information so as to make a decision if it is worth getting. I found Astro Guard Alarms while doing some research and Chris was very helpful in answering my questions despite the fact that I could not be a client. He went out of his way to answer my questions so I am sure for those he can help he will do the same.

These guys are crooks protecting houses, almost laughable. Make sure you read your contract carefully as they will hold you to it. Tried to cancel service with over 30 days notice but contract said 60 or it automatically renews for a full year.....buyer be aware!
