Home Security System

This month for the “Tech’s Pick” blog, we will be highlighting Jim Martin. Jim has been a technician with Security Alarm for 34 years. When he’s not out installing security systems, you will most likely find him hiding in a tree or a field, as he is an avid hunter.

From start to finish our experience with Security Alarm has been professional and comforting. Either dealing with the sales portion or installation any and all questions were explained and answered with great knowledge, not to mention a very courteous staff. Highly recommend this company and if you are on the fence between them and another brand, give them a call and just talking with them will be enough to realize they are the place to go.

Great service on every encounter with Security Alarm of Salem, Illinois. The latest example occurred yesterday as service manager Erin listened to my explanation of our fire alarm problem and understood the urgent need of repair. Technician Joe Morrison quickly arrived at our Cila and demonstrated why the problem was some where other than the fire alarm equipment. He explained it in a manner this old man ( me ) would understand. Many THANKS to all involved, especially Erin and Joe.

I have been a customer of Security Alarm for several years. They installed and have maintained a burglar alarm at our residence and farm buildings. In mid-August, 2019, we had inside, electronic damage due to a lightning strike. Even with the difficulties of diagnosing/repairing our burglar alarm after lightning damage, Security Alarm stayed with the job to see the project through. When repair difficulties arose, Security Alarm sent their most-experienced alarm technician at no charge to figure out what was still wrong. After a very long Friday, Jim found the problem, made the repair, programmed the main panel, and tested every component of the alarm system. Now, everything is working correctly. I really appreciated Security Alarm's fair handling of the repair and their honesty exemplified through not charging me for unproductive time when, for whatever reason, they were not able to correctly diagnose the problem (the problem was ultimately a defective new, out-of-the-box part that they replaced). They listened to my concerns and acted accordingly.

I would like to say something about the Security Alarm Corporation and their employees, the techs, the office personnel, the sales people. They have all been very helpful when I have had a question concerning my system, Someone is always there to answer my question and get me headed in the right direction to correct a problem which in almost all cases, it was me that created a problem, whether not entering the correct information or just not understanding the procedure to activate or deactivate my system. The system operates as it should and does so in seconds if alarm is activated.If you are looking for a good security system, Security Alarm Corporation is the place to go.

My system was outdated, and I called Security Alarm to up date it for me since I had boughten it from them in the past. Service was extrremely fast, professional job, they were extremely friendly and were very helpful employees. I wouldn''t use any other alarm company. They are A++ in my opinion.

Great service! The technician Aaron W was so helpful and took all the time I needed to talk me through re-programming my Sky Bell doorbell to the Wi-Fi router after I updated my Internet service. He (Aaron) said he wanted to save the cost of a service call and he could do that by talking me through the steps to re-program. My husband and I are both extremely happy with all of our monitoring and interactions with Security Alarm and recommend them to anyone looking for a security company.

I most definitely recommend Security Alarm over any security company available in the Marion, IL region! From Larry the sales rep---to the installers (Joe and Wade?)- everyone was very detailed in explaining the cost, contracts, available services (fire, floor, security and cameras that are always recording) I HIGHLY recommend this company!

The initial visit with Larry the sales rep- he went over everything in detail and walked throughout my house to point out what could be used where (glass breaking vs. window alarm) They scheduled install immediately (other local company took over 2 weeks to scheduled for my grandma's house) The installers were very professional and courteous (were even sweeping up what little mess they made) I am not easily impressed but they definitely have surpassed my expectations already! Thank you to the Security Alarm team!

We moved to Salem Il 2 1/2 years ago. We had heard nothing but good things about Security Alarm. They worked to build the kind of system I wanted in our home. They are professional and customer care is their long suit. From Larry who sold the alarm to Daniel and Aaron Dice who worked with me, we have a trouble fee unit. What impresses me the most is that we did have issues and Security Alarm stepped up without me asking, and redesigned and upgraded our system to a much different higher quality system that would work flawlessly for our needs. All of this was at their expense. This is something you just don't find anymore. They are proactive and in our particular case, there was a better solution and they handled it with smiles. They just completed a video installation the other day at our home. If you want the best security system and the most superior service do not think twice about calling Security Alarm.

Larry who gave the quote was very cost conscious and courteous. He took time to explain all the features of the system for my mom. Living in another state he went above and beyond. Curtis the installer was very friendly, professional, he took the time to show her the system and didn't leave until she felt comfortable operating the system. Great company, family owned and you aren't put on hold. Use them if you are getting an alarm system.

Security Alarm has been in our home for so many years, it feels as if we started the company. Every employee has been courteous, professional, and so willing to help. I cannot imagine placing my trust in a different security company the way I have Security Alarm. Even when I have accidentally set off my alarm, they remain courteous when following through on the alarm. Not once have I heard anyone say, “Not again!” Best security company...ever.

We had the system put in after a break in and we love it. It makes us feel so much safer knowing that we have this system. If you are going back and forth wondering if you should get something, do it! Don't wait until something happens! This will give you the security that you need. I highly recommend this business! The boys were on time and were very friendly. They even cleaned up after themselves! Dont wait, get the system that you are comfortable with!

We got broke into the Monday after Thanksgiving in 2015. After this my family and I did not have peace of mind until we had the security alarm installed. I priced three different companies and Security Alarm was definitely the best product and presentation. The knowledge and know how was leaps and bounds above the rest. Security Alarm then came and installed our alarm system on the day and time they said they would. The system has worked flawlessly for three years now. I would definitely recommend them for any security alarm needs. I am 100% satisfied.

I have multiple businesses and having security system from Security Alarm Company made my life lot easier to monitor all my employee opening and closing the stores. Added benefit was that they remotely take care of issues which reduces my service call cost. Good services and good people to work with.

Everyone I dealt with at Security Alarm was professional, personable and helpful. Larry, the salesperson, understood our requirements and budget limitations. He explained and demonstrated the system well. The installers did a great job of working around our patrons while the library stayed open. They were in good spirits and got along well with each other, our staff and the patrons. We're very pleased with our new security system.

Was nice to have a scheduled appointment and the company actually show up right on time, unlike many other companies! Installation was really fast and professional, they even cleaned up their mess while they were installing. Once setup was complete, walk through on how to use the system was thorough and i felt very comfortable on how to use the system. Great teamwork also! Thanks Security Alarm for all your hard work!

I got burglerized in July and wanted to get a home alarm system. I had heard nothing but good things about this company and decided to call them. Aaron Dice came out and told me all about the system and different options and we came up with the perfect solution. Wade came out and did a amazing installation. Very professional explained everything and it works great. Much less money that I expected to pay.They have been in business for ever and don't need this review but I wanted to say what a good expierence I had because when someone has what they consider a bad one they tell everyone but never when they have a good one! Great job guys and keep up the good work!
