For over 45 years American Alarm has been dedicated to providing residential and commercial customers with reliable sales, service, installation and monitoring of integrated security and life safety systems. American Alarm was founded in 1971 by three engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who have worked to bring the benefits of new technology and systems to our customers.
Though we have grown over the years, our mission has remained the same: to provide the best possible security technology and customer service to protect homes and businesses across New England. American Alarm is now New England's largest independent security systems integration and monitoring company, with offices in Arlington, Weymouth, Randolph and Auburn, Massachusetts; Manchester, New Hampshire and Warwick, Rhode Island.

This system is a scam that I am locked into for a 3 year contract. Every time the power goes out, then of course the alarm stops working. About 30% of the time I receive a call numerous hours later (usually at 1am) to tell me my alarm stopped working. Sometimes the alarm doesn’t start back up after a power outage, so I’ll receive a call every night at around 1 am to tell me my alarm isn’t online until they bring it back online. If I can’t remember the passcode at 1am when they call, they won’t discuss the issue with me. It’s a great game we play. I’m pretty sure the alarm only works

I paid $500 for inspecting a system that was installed before I moved into a house. Every month for the first 6 months something would break that should have been discovered at inspection and every month I got charged a $150 service visit charge, plus materials plus the $50 per month for monitoring. A total scam.

Andy Klein at American Alarm has been the reasons why I signed up with American Alarm & Communications, Inc.. He has been very clear and instrumental in streamlining my Fire alarm system on my mixed use commercial building. He is always there to help with any question or issues that may arise. He is an individual of integrity and easy to work with!

Words cannot express how helpful Andy Klein and his team from American Alarm have been to our Pantry. The pandemic forced Loaves & Fishes to move to a drive-thru service to feed our neighbors in need. To keep everyone safe, we contacted American Alarm to help us install a no-contact drive-thru speaker system that allows our staff and volunteers to serve our clients but also protects them from inclement weather. WE LOVE IT, and our clients appreciate our collaboration with American Alarm to help keep everyone safe and the Pantry open. Andy was so amazing to work with. He went above and beyond to
