Nathan was an exceptionally good installer! He was thorough and made certain we understood the system before leaving our home. We definitely want Nathan to return to install a camera.
Kevin upgraded our old non-working alarm system in the house we moved into. Fixed non-working components (magnetic sensors, motion detector, main controller) and added cameras to the security system. The final system configuration (integrated wired and WiFi components) works smoothly. He is very knowledgeable about all system components he had to deal with. Kevin was courteous at all times and patient with all of our questions during the installation. Due to staffing problems he had to complete the project alone without complaint.
Nathan was the technician that came out to my home today, He was very punctual as well as professional. He is a true asset to the Company. Thanks for all of your assistance!
TAS gets two thumbs up from us. We were on the “Brink” of changing monitoring companies for our home security system. The staff who answered the phone were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Kevin Martin came to our home to replace the outdated cellular communicator, upgrade one of the keypads so that we can now use the phone app, and replace a faulty keypad. He was truly knowledgeable, efficient, and happy to explain the new system and answer questions. We would recommend without hesitation.
I have been a customer of TAS (The Alarm Store) for years. We just remolded our guest house & decided to upgrade our entire alarm system. The technician, Paul, who did all the work, was outstanding as is TAS. I would recommend them 100% for alarm work. We are extremely satisfied with the end result.
Our store security system was a little dated. And in order to get better insurance rates, Ian and Paul & Gerri did a fabulous job getting us upgraded. It was effortless and would highly recommend TAS They were both friendly and knowledgeable and met our expectations. Great Job TAS Team!!!
Just had old system updated to work with TAS monitoring. Kevin very thorough and walked us through the app. We appreciate the time he spent explaining things to us.
These guys were great. Easy to get ahold of when I called, set up a service call in the next couple of days, and took care of everything when they came. Matthew, the service technician, was lovely and kind. He was very thoughtful and helped take care of all of our needs while keeping our budget in mind. You’re lucky if he’s the one to come to your door! Highly recommend TAS and happy to keep the work local!
Ive had my service with this company since 2017 and all of a sudden in 2021 I received a substantial increase in my bill. It took me several days before I was able talk to someone about why my bill increased. When I finally spoke with someone the representative I spoke with was very rude and unwilling to listen to me, or my concerns about the bill increase. I did not feel valued as a customer and my voice did not matter to them. I would have definitely expected this from a national company, but not from someone local. Would not recommend this company as when the time came that I needed customer service it was definitely not there!
Went in for window sensors, and they had exactly what I needed. Then, they demonstrated an alarm system for me, explained their services, and we setup an appointment for an estimate. I like this store.
Matt the tech came to my home to upgrade my alarm system and I couldnt have asked for a nicer guy. He was knowledgeable, efficient, professional, and excellent at training me about the new features of my panel. And he cleaned up after himself. Due to Covid-19, I requested that we distance as much as possible and he respected that. An all around pleasant experience. Thanks, Matt!
This is a small mom and pop shop. Its been around for a very long time. The folks who run it are customer service oriented, kind and professional. We have been very happy with our service. We had to turn our electricity off to put a dimmer switch in and TAS called us within minutes of turning it off. I didnt think that shutting the electrical system off would trigger the alarm but it makes sense. I was very impressed with how fast they responded!
From the first visit to The Alarm Store to the actual installation of the security service was an awesome experience. Michael was courteous and very helpful at the Customer Service Desk along with the home visit.Kevin, the technician, was spectacular! He was personable and profession. He has excellent communication skills and was able to answer all of my questions. Kevins instructions on how to use the security system and add the app was well-paced, thorough and very easy to follow and understand. He was very diligent and efficient with the entire installation. Kevin is very committed to giving the best customer service at a very high level!
Kevin came to update our system. Super professional and we are very happy with the customer service. The support when calling for questions. And overall we would highly recommend this company to anyone we know.
Update 4 November 2019:Updated our modem and needed to reset port forwarding and configure the network for monitoring. Had to contact the provider and have them configure settings on their end. John arrived early and got the system up and running in spite of a couple oddball issues. Once again, more than pleased with their competency and thoroughness. TAS is the definition of professional.Switched to TAS Security and more than pleased with the experience in updating our 6 year old security and video systems. Paul and John are prompt, competent, efficient, thorough, and friendly. The rates for labor and monitoring are very reasonable. If you need anything related to security, these are the people to call.
Was referred to this company from my parents who have been using them for a while and have been satisfied. Jeff M was AMAZING this morning in upgrading our system from the one the precious homeowners to the house we just bought had. Very courteous, professional, and he went the extra mile by taking old decals off our windows from the previous company. Great local business to support! No sales games either unlike companies like ADT and Vivint play. Highly recommended!
Really great service Ive been working with them for over a year and have been completely pleased with everything highly recommend. Dont go to ADT.
I have had TAS Security for over 5 years, and have not previously reviewed them. This week, I needed service, and its time to share my experience. First, a real person answered the phone and quickly routed me to the appropriate person. He helped me diagnose the problem and scheduled a service call for the next day. Kevin Martin, technician, showed up on time and quickly went through the diagnostics, confirming the issue (battery replacement) and the cost to fix it. He suggested that, since he was onsite and it was covered in the service call fee, he should check out all the batteries on all the contact points. He did this, and replaced several. Throughout, he was capable, professional, patted my dog, and kept me advised on what needed to be replaced and what could be replaced if I wanted to be proactive. All done in less than an hour. I am a totally happy customer.
Thanks much TAS for helping us when our old people wouldnt/couldnt.We started with you and are happy to be back. Ian, Kevin and Alex did a great job and got all our problems solved and added a great new fire alarm. We appreciate you being there and recommend you highly. THANKS!
Switched from previous company much better also cheaper per month. Keven and Jeff were great installers none better. Truly professionals. You cant go wrong with this company plus their local. Ian really knows his systems .
If you are looking for an alarm system or an existing system upgraded look no further. Ever since we had our system installed it has been a dream come true. I can check my property from my camera feed any time any place from my phone. If I hear a noise outside at night I can check my camera feed from my phone. I can arm or disarm my alarm too at any time it is handy if you have your hands full with groceries just disarm from the driveway. Ask for John Calderon! His professionalism wealth of knowledge has no end. When you need to be sure and secure its John Calderon at TAS who will make it so.
I decided to go with TAS because of how helpful and patient everyone was. From the person who answered the phone to Lynn who explained everything to me and advised me how I could use my existing system.The two installers, Kevin and Paul, were very knowledgeable, patient and personable. They worked very hard to get everything working, thoroughly explained what I needed to know and even after a very long day cleaned up after themselves.I can’t remember when I was more impressed with the way a company operates.
Weve always had exceptional service from TAS and John Calderon lived up to that ideal when he made a service call to our house last month. He was courteous, efficient and professional. Well done, John!
A rep from TAS came to my house today and gave me some great ideas about my alarm system. I have been with Protection One for 21 years and until 2 years ago, was happy with their service. Last year my alarm went off at 2:30am while I was sleeping. There was no intrusion. I turned off the alarm and waited for Protection One to call me. It took 15-20 minutes for someone to call. I told them that was totally unacceptable and she said she would have a supervisor call me. No one called. 2 days later I called and spoke with a supervisor who had a tech come out to the house. The system needed a new battery. How was I to know? And what if a forced entry had occurred during that time? When I am paying a company for protective services I expect them to be more diligent and responsive to the customer. A month ago my neighbor called and said my alarm was going off. I called Protection One to ask why they hadnt called me. They said they didnt get any notice of an alarm and it was probably my neighbors alarm that was blaring. I told them it was my neighbor who called me! They did have a record of the alarm being turned off (I called the contractor and gave him the code). A tech was sent out but he couldnt find any problem with the system. Because of these experiences I was eager to change companies, hence the call to TAS. I called Protection One to cancel my services and was told I am under a 5 year contract with 20 months remaining and I would have to pay $750 to get out of the contract. After 21 years of loyalty to the company !!! From family and friends and neighbors, I have heard rave reviews about TAS. Do me a favor and give TAS your business. I would love to see Protection One lose customers. For them (Protection One) the bottom line is money and not customer service!
I had inherited an older orphaned system from several other companies. Ian Palmer reviewed my options and recommended that we make use of specific existing components and add a couple of new components to complete the system. John Calderon (Technician) was the one to make it all work and perform the integration. John did an excellent job of incorporating the existing and new components. The system works perfectly and provides the security we need. I have used TAS previously and been very happy with them and their performance. I have always found TAS personnel to be professional and totally on top of delivering a great system even using existing components.
I just had my security system updated yesterday. Everyone that I have been in contact with has been highly professional and open for questions. Great local company and responds quickly. Thank you Kevin and Ian for your hard work! Much appreciated
We switched both our business and home alarms over to TAS Security Systems.Michael Cordova is an awesome person to work with! He is such an asset to this company. So refreshing to work with such a knowledgeable and personable person. He was able to take care of all our needs for our alarms. Will be telling all our friends about Michael and TAS.Also had the pleasure of working with Paul Alexander. He was so thorough and skilled at getting our alarm system switched over to TAS. He was so patient with all our questions and he made sure all our alarm needs were met.Matt and Keith also helped getting our business alarm up and going. Did a great job!Can not say enough about TAS Security and their wonderful staff.Thanks guys!Clark & Gail Hanson
Matt from the Alarm Store updated my alarm system (of 15+ years) so I could join the world of high tech---absolutely love the possibilities to increase the protection of me and my property. Matt is highly knowledgeable and professional and provided awesome service----love operating the system through iPhone--will add more features soon.
We just had a security system installed about a month ago, and Ryan and Kevin were wonderful. They took the time to go over and walk me through everything and answered all my questions (a few repeatedly!) without ever becoming impatient. I appreciated that very much. Everything is working well so far and they respond quickly with any questions or to help with little glitches which have arisen since the installation. I would highly recommend them!
Just had a 21st century security system installed. Kevin did an excellent job both with installation and making sure that we understood how the system works. Thank you very much!
John installed our new security system here at Cottonwood Dental quickly and efficiently. He educated the Staff to use the online dashboard and app on the iPhone. He was thorough and answered all of the hardware and software questions we had. We will definitely refer Friends and Patients for services. Thank you!
Paul and Jeff were amazing at setting up an added service and troubleshooting my alarm system.TAS has always been helpful, efficient, and great in all respects. Thank you for being an awesome local company and for having such superb employees.
5 star service all the way around 100%!!!!! John Calderon and the gentleman who accompanied (the name escapes me), Josh i wanna say. Our hats off to you two and TAS for the stellar professionalism and work ethnic. they worked their butts off and did it with smiles. i would give 10 stars but only allowed 5!!! thank you all very much!
Jeff came to service my sisters(Toni) alarm system.The service call was very professional and informative. Jeff was also very helpful and a pleasant individual. He should be considered an asset for the company.A
We have been a customer of TAS for the past 27 years. Today we did an upgrade to our alarm system and the technician John Calderon was awesome. He helped us out with our requests for our system as well as doing the upgrade. John was professional, friendly and knowledgeable.
We had a security camera system installed by John Calderon and Matt Baca last week. we are quite pleased with the system and these gentlemen were courteous and very helpful. All of our interactions with TAS, dating back to them adopting our orphaned system years ago to this update have been very positive.
Today, Jeff Marquez upgraded my TAS security system. He was courteous, on time, instructed me on use of the app (walked me through the settings), answered my questions, and showed me where to go on-line for additional information. It was a positive experience. Thanks, Jeff!
TAS has monitored my business and residential properties for years. Everyone has always been very helpful. Zach is my go to contact and hes always treated me with respect, courtesy and given excellent service. I have referred many people to TAS and will continue do so. They just left after upgrading my system to a digital panel that allows me to add multiple users, check the status on my phone and even control my thermostat. TAS is hands down the best bang for the buck dont hesitate to call them.
TAS was professional and affordable. They gave us a quick quote and arranged to do the work within our timeframe. Alex and Matthew that did our install were polite and thorough.
I just switched to The Alarm Store for monitoring. The technician was very courteous and did a thorough job of changing over my old system and explaining the new system to me. And the cost of conversion was very reasonable.
Amazing Techs. Kevin and John made the install simple and painless. Explained everything and cleaned up after themselves.
Kevin the installer did a great job. Really happy I went with a local company
After a neighbors home was broken in to I called TAS; Zach and Ian were at my home less than 24 hours later, and were able to revamp and configure my existing alarm system. TAS offers amazing customer service, knowledgeable and professional staff, economical pricing, and theyre local. Cant recommend TAS enough. Piece of mind and sense of security are worth every penny.
John did an outstanding job installing the wireless contacts, zone labeling, thoroughly testing the system, reprogramming the existing keypad so that I could use my personal password, testing existing infrareds components, horn and alarm panel. He showed me all the work that he performed explaining how each component worked and thoroughly answering all of my questions as he discussed each zone operation, repeating as many times as necessary for me to understand. He was very, very patient and never rushed through any questions that I asked. He also provided a printout of each zone as well as labeling them on the keypad. He provided recommendations that he believed would meet my needs which were very helpful. He provided TAS window labels and yard signs. He explained all the billing information: installationcost, monthly monitoring cost, etc. Once again the entire installation experience was outstanding and I really enjoyed all my discussions with John. I strongly recommend John for any future work that needs to be performed as well as TAS as a whole because I believe TAS provides by far the best security service in the Albuquerque Metro Area. Additionally all TAS estimators, installers, administrative staff, etc have provided excellent service for the past 25 years which is the reason we continue to utilize TAS’s services.
One of the most professional companies we work with. We own three building in the Albuquerque area that require intense monitoring and security systems. We use TAS for all of our locations. Any time we have a problem they are very responsive. Zach is usually the one who helps us, and I know that he will do the best job possible. We even call on TAS to fix problems caused by other contractors. They have found lifetime customers with our business and personal monitoring. Thank you all so much!
Just want to say that they rock.the technicians are awsome.so far everyone of them has been helpful and very professional. Today we had john Calderon do our upgrade service,and dude was cool and right on the job.thank you TAS .keep it safe for us👍he still gets 5 ⭐, so this portion is an update so we got cameras the work most if the time however the doorbell camera does not allow u to view when someone is actually walking up it stays trying to connect. We got several repeaters as tas requested, still not much help also the other cameras dont ever record anything even when u highlight the areas u want it to record when/if theres movement, it doesnt record nothing ever. U have to push record manually.
I have secured my business with TAS Security for more than ten years.They have always exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!
Best Service i have seen
These guys charged me for over a year to monitor my business was not even hooked up. the boss told me too bad never buy from this crook.. uptown auto repair 8800300
Switched to TAS from another company - their customer service is outstanding. Highly recommend
Kevin was so helpful in helping me understand system. Very knowledgableable and friendly.
Kevin was great- personable and very customer accommodating!! Explained everything to us!!
Excellent experience with both the Alarm side and the Security camera side. Very professional installers and customer service always exceeds expectation. Thank you for another job well done...
Outstanding evaluation of needs and services. I had inherited an old orphaned system from TAS with the building but it was inadequate for our current needs. I knew nothing about TAS but checked out all of the competition first then contacted them.TAS personnel advised us as to how to build a security program for the property that not only exceeded our requirements, but utilized much of the system we already had, saving a significant amount of cost.There was a challenging wi-fi situation due to masonry construction with multiple rooms between extremities of the property, which TAS deftly handled at minimal cost with strategically placed repeater equipment to strengthen signals to optimal levels.Everyone we worked with at TAS was extremely helpful and insisted on staying until we fully understood, software settings, app features, backup systems, camera settings/sensitivity, motion detection, response process for Police, Fire, etc...I accidentally triggered an alarm, and the response was instant and amazingly efficient. This gave me even more confidence that TAS performs monitoring services exactly as advertised.There is a reason that most local businesses trust TAS with their security needs. Being local, their reputation depends on how they are perceived by the community they serve, and you are not just a customer number in a national database. I highly recommend TAS for business or residential security needs and have already referred them to business owners and friends.
I am retired from the alarm installation and monitoring company I owned in New Jersey. TAS has installed and monitored systems for my home and 3 non-profit organizations I am involved with. They are the best company in Northern New Mexico!
John was very polite and professional while getting my new system set up today. Thanks John.
We use TAS at our Home and Business. Marty, Peter, Lynn and all the techs are always friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to deal with. Great company, low rates and exceeds expectations
My work uses them for the alarm system, works great, been operating flawlessly for many years! Also handy place to pickup good quality Sealed lead acid batteries!
John was extremely helpful, did everything super fast
John Calderon is awesome. He put in our system and was fast and friendly.
My husband and I tried for two months to get an appointment to have a home security system installed by TAS Security Systems. No one returned our calls. Although we had wanted to go with a locally owned security company we finally gave up on TAS, and started calling national companies. While we were waiting for our appointment with Vivant someone broke into our house, stole all my jewelry, and destroyed our walk-in closet to remove a wall safe. Two days later TAS Security Systems called three times telling us they would be happy to set up an appointment. I am pretty appalled by the way they run their business, and I would never recommend them. Im sorry to say it, but in terms of getting home security systems it is probably better to go with a big security systems company.
Amazing as always
Honest. Straight forward. Friendly.
Just wanted to say thank you Jeff and Ian for all your help I’m glad I went with TAS for my alarm needs
We have used Marty and his team for our security needs for years. They always take care of our needs and are experts in their field. No reason to call anyone else
I switched to the Alarm Store from a national company. They installed a new touch screen panel and were able to take over many of the sensors already installed which saved me money. The monthly price is about 60% of what I was paying with the national company and the smartphone app + zwave devices are very cool. Open your garage, unlock your doors and control your thermostat from anywhere in the world with internet access.Great service from everyone Ive spoken with. Zach did my install and is a very nice guy to deal with. Im fairly certain Ill be a lifetime customer.
Called for help on camera that did not work and had to be replaced...lol...he said if I had security system from another company they would not help. I said all I want is self monitored security camera installed..he said unless we get contract from them to monitor they would not help. DO NOT USE THIS BUNCH OF MORONS...as bad as ADT AND MONI (Monitronics)
First purchased my alarm and monthly monitoring from T.A.S. over 17 yrs ago - they were and still are the friendliest, easiest to work with, knowledgable alarm company in town. straight forward, affordable prices and excellent customer service for 17+ yrs now. Usually a simple phone call and I can get understandable technical advice, replacement parts or just good old fashioned common sense advice to best handle my aging alarm system. T.A.S. helps me keep my alarm in tip-top working condition and I already know that when the day comes when i will need to replace my original alarm T.A.S. will bethere to help me upgrade in the easiest most affordable way. I always recommend T.A.S. as the best way to get an alarm system in ABQ.
What a great tech guy, solved the problem, good team member!!!
I have use TAS for about 15 years and i think they are the best in town. Any time I have a problem, which isnt often I can call their office and they walk me through the solution.
I dont know who answers their phones there but that lady was the rudest person I have ever dealt with. I will be telling everyone I know to not use there services. For being a security type of company they sure seem like they dont know anything about it. Terrible business use someone else!!!
It took over a week for someone to call me back to schedule an appointment,which the rep was asking me questions instead of being a professional advisor, it was a month later before I received a quote, very unprofessional and they didnt appear to know their product
Nice staff
