ABOUT OUR COMPANY
American Alarms has been a local life safety and security systems provider since 1983. Fire alarm systems, area of refuge emergency calls, access control, video surveillance, and commercial intrusion alarms are what we provide to our commercial business customers.
Protecting People & Property
For generations, American Alarms has been the go-to resource for protecting people, property, and profits with carefully designed and integrated electronic systems. In fact, our company founder Bill Jacobs started in the electrical representative and fire alarm business in 1963, at age 17, while still in high school. In 1983, American Alarms got its start, and ever since we have served our community's safety and security needs.
"Adam and his team swooped in,
sourced the parts, and completed the work!"

"When considering how to secure one of our biggest investments, our Real Estate Company, we looked for experience and knowledge in the security arena. Supporting a local family owned business is another value that we found in American Alarms. Adam Jacobs and his team knew exactly what was needed for our facility and kept us informed every step of the way. American Alarms is the right choice!"

“American Alarms was great to work with for our new spa build out. After a frustrating experience with a large fire alarms company, we were without the parts or labor we needed to complete our project.
Owner Adam Jacobs was empathetic and great at communicating with my general contractor and me. American Alarms was able to get the parts that the large contractor couldn’t source, plus they installed them quickly and at a much lower cost.
My recommendation to small business owners is to visit with American Alarms to see if they can handle your project, even if they weren’t the company who installed the system in your building.”

"American Alarms set up my camera system for my business. Customer service is great, and the quality of the cameras is great. I've used them so much for things I didn't even think of....like checking to see if the snow plows had come through and if not, leaving for work early so I could clear the sidewalks. it's saved me time and the added security is just great. I highly recommend American Alarms for your business camera needs!"
