Guardian Protection offers military personnel, firefighters and police officers 50% off a home security package plus free monitoring. EMS isn’t named anywhere on its discount page. So this one is a police, fire and military offer, not a blanket first responder discount, and paramedics should ask Guardian directly before counting on it.
Guardian Protection describes itself as professionally installed home and business security with 24/7 U.S.-based monitoring. Its discount page adds that the company has over 70 years of experience.
How To Get The Guardian Protection First Responder Discount
The page is titled “Military, Police, and Fire Discount.” It says Guardian is offering an exclusive discount to its local police, fire, and military personnel. The terms are more specific: the offer is valid only for military personnel, firefighters and police officers. Dispatchers, EMTs and paramedics aren’t mentioned. The phrase “first responders” shows up only in the page’s monitoring copy, where it describes who Guardian’s monitoring experts notify, not who qualifies.
- Open Guardian’s Military, Police, and Fire Discount page with the button below.
- Fill in the form with your name, phone, email and zip code, and say whether you own or rent.
- A Guardian Security Expert will be in touch.
The terms require proof satisfactory to Guardian that you’re serving as military personnel, a firefighter or a police officer at the time of purchase, so have that ready when the Security Expert calls.
What The Package Is
The headline promise is 50% off a home security package plus free monitoring. The terms define the package: a $149 “4-1-1-1” system with one IQ control panel, one motion detector, four door and window sensors, and your choice of one smoke detector, one heat sensor, one carbon monoxide detector, or one flood sensor. The page lists free professional installation with it, and you need internet and Wi-Fi service that will properly serve every component of the system. Any additional equipment has to be paid for in full at the time of purchase.
What “Free Monitoring” Means Here
The free monitoring is three months. The terms say the three free months are applied in the first three months following activation. After that, the Monitoring Agreement has to include a minimum term of 60 months, a minimum monthly rate of $49.99, and an early termination charge. That’s a five-year commitment, which is the number to weigh against the equipment savings.
Other Conditions
The offer is subject to credit approval, and to entering into a qualifying Monitoring Agreement and a Sales and Installation Agreement at the time of purchase. It also requires recurring, automatic payment by credit card or electronic charge for monitoring charges. It only covers purchases of a new Guardian Protection Services system made inside the promotional window printed in the terms, so read the dates on the page before you apply. Guardian says it’s subject to change without notice and can’t be combined with any other offer, transferred, or redeemed for cash.
