Local considerations in Sterling Heights & Macomb County
Our commercial and residential burglar alarm services are innovative, responsive, and easy to understand and use — you won't have to worry again about not being protected 24/7. We serve homes and businesses across Sterling Heights and Macomb County, and we design every burglar alarm system around the specific entry points, layout, and risk profile of your actual property rather than selling a fixed, one-size-fits-all package.
Many Sterling Heights homes and businesses already have some form of wiring or an existing alarm system in place. Our technicians can work with what's already there where possible, or design a fresh burglar alarm system from the ground up — either way, we make sure it's properly installed, tested, and explained before we leave.
What it costs
Burglar alarm pricing depends on property size, number of entry points, and whether you choose self- or professionally monitored response. Most residential burglar alarm installations range from roughly $300–$600 for a basic system up to $1,200–$2,500+ for full coverage with motion and glass-break sensors. Commercial burglar alarm systems typically start around $800–$1,500 for a single-zone storefront and scale up from there. See our full cost guide for a detailed breakdown.
Every quote is based on an on-site walkthrough — we don't sell fixed "packages" that leave gaps in coverage or charge for equipment you don't need. See our full 2026 cost guide →
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a burglar alarm and a full security system?
A burglar alarm is the core of most security systems — sensors, a panel, and monitoring focused specifically on intrusion. We can install it as a standalone system or combine it with cameras, smart locks, and fire/CO detection for complete coverage.
Can I get 24/7 monitoring with my burglar alarm?
Yes — see our 24/7 alarm monitoring page for details on professional monitored response.
Do you install burglar alarms for businesses as well as homes?
Yes, for both. See our commercial security page for business-specific systems.
Can you repair or take over monitoring on an existing burglar alarm?
In most cases, yes — including systems installed by a previous owner or another company. See our repair & maintenance page.
