About HG Home Guardian

Home Guardian was born out of necessity. For decades, homeowners and contractors have dealt with a fragmented approach to monitoring and maintaining the systems that make a home safe and efficient. HVAC, water, electrical, and air quality are all essential, yet they’ve always operated in silos.

Founded by Keith E. Flores, a 30+ year veteran of the HVAC industry, Home Guardian set out to solve this challenge by creating the first truly integrated Home Dashboard.

With our patented technology and data-driven platform, we give homeowners peace of mind and contractors a retention system that pays for itself. We believe the future of smart homes is not just about convenience—it’s about safety, savings, and lasting relationships.

Our Vision

We envision a future where homes are smarter, safer, and more energy-efficient. Home Guardian’s platform is the cornerstone of this future, leveraging the power of real-time data to deliver actionable insights for every part of your home’s ecosystem. To the Contractor and the Home Owner at the same time to provide solutions.
