We recently had an alarm system installed by EdinAlarm, and it was a very smooth process. We've had to tweak the settings a couple of times since the installation, and Evan has done a great job of clearly explaining the settings and changing them as we asked. The support from the company has been great so far.

EdinAlarm has been an absolute game-changer for our family’s security! As a mom, nothing matters more than knowing my kiddos are safe, especially at night. With Edina Alarm, I am alerted by text message any time a window or door is left open or unlocked. I can check in one place to make sure our house is fully secure at night, without having to walk around the house. It’s not only convenient but provides so much piece of mind! The system keeps us informed about every activity, whether it’s in the front yard or backyard, and who’s entering or leaving. It’s like having a constant pulse on our home’s activity. The Edina Alarm team made recommendations which were practical and has had an amazing impact on our home! Highly recommend Edina Alarm for any family looking for a reliable security system!

Eleven years ago, EdinAlarm installed a comprehensive business security system for our manufacturing facility. The systems have worked very well over the years, however today I called their office for service and as usual, their support team was excellent.
I was so impressed, when I hung up the phone, I decided to fire off this review. It’s rare to get someone to answer the phone and even more, someone who helps to solve the problem kindly, efficiently and promptly. EdinAlarm has proven to me over the years they are committed to excellence, they have the ‘A’ team.
We have used EdinAlarm for our home and for other buildings we have owned over the years. If you are looking for a company with domain expertise and are great to work with, look no further than this local company. Thanks for taking care of us throughout the years, and for the great service.

I have worked with EdinAlarm since 2003. They are exceptional in every way. I run a service business myself and this company cares about serving their clients. I highly recommend EdinAlarm.
The owner Jon helped us to understand our needs and he showed us the best options. That really guided us choose the right system. I also like how Jon stays involved after the fact plus he has a tenured and capable staff to support our needs.
My favorite features are the tech on my phone that keeps me alerted as needed and I love that if we ever have an issue with a water leak or a loss or excess of heat, we will be alerted immediately.
At the end of the day, we "sleep well", whether home or away, knowing we have the right home protection.
Many thanks!

I've used Edina Alarm for just over 17 years. Really nice folks
and definitely fun to talk to. I needed to switch from a land line
for my security to WiFi. They squeezed me in the next day as I
was leaving town. Never missed a day of being covered.
Thank you Jessica and Jake.

Ed, thanks for your continued business and positive remarks, they are appreciated! I will share your comments with Jessica & Jake tomorrow in our Monday staff meeting.
