AG-UL is indeed a leader and quite revolutionary in the manner in which it provides wholesale alarm monitoring centers and other services to security dealers across the country.

Firstly, the facility is among the first wholesale alarm monitoring center companies to have two active redundant central stations, exceeding UL requirements and delivering even greater peace of mind to our dealers and subscribers.Next, the AG-UL alarm monitoring centers are committed to personalized service.

While the trend in the industry is to move towards more automated services (i.e. auto-attendants, VRT's, etc.), AG-UL is fully focused on providing a more personal approach. While AG-UL agrees that there is certainly a place for automated services, such as automatic emails and web access, there are countless instances when there can be no substitution for a live, trained professional. At AG-UL, a live operator will always answer the calls of its customers and subscribers.The primary service of AG-UL is to provide wholesale alarm monitoring centers services to independent security alarm dealers around the country. The security and safety of AG-UL's dealers' customers are a priority. In addition to providing the monitoring services of the alarm monitoring centers, AG-UL offers valuable business services, such as third party billing and financing programs. The goal of AG-UL is to provide a high quality service to all its security dealers that will allow them to focus on growing their businesses. For customers requiring more information regarding the alarm monitoring centers' services or any of the other offered services, AG-UL has two twenty-four hour UL listed alarm monitoring centers to service its dealers.
