Moving is high on the list of life’s biggest stressors, so we completely understand this concern. There are a million and one tasks to complete, decisions to make, and deadlines to keep. Somehow everything needs to come together in the end to restore peace and balance to your life.
We want to be there for you and make sure you get everything you need for a seamless move, including answering any questions about your existing or future home security services. If you’re planning to relocate, this blog post is for you!
Make sure you notify us of your move date as soon as you know it. Your alarm will continue to transmit signals if you move without notifying us first. We will reprogram your alarm service at your old home when you are no longer there so that false alarms can be avoided.
Moving is the perfect time to reevaluate your home security needs. A security system should be tailored specifically for you and your home, and there are numerous examples of how your needs might change. For example, is your new home larger or smaller? Is the layout completely different, with more points of entry? You don’t have to deal with these questions alone; we are happy to send out one of our certified Guardian technicians to give you a free consultation on a new system.
Want to make your move a little easier and take your security service with you? If you’re a current Guardian customer, you qualify for the best packages we have to offer when you sign a new security monitoring agreement on a home within our service area. Just give us a call at 1-844-636-3911 and we’ll discuss your options.
Keep in mind that investing in smart home technology can boost your home’s resale value. If you’ve been considering any upgrades to your system — such as newer cameras with more features or adding smart home automation — you may be eligible for a discount on additional devices.

What happens if a person can no longer afford your service?
