Most home security systems aren’t really built for people. They’re built for sales. Leased equipment, long contracts, upsells, and support that disappears after install—it’s all too common, and too many New Orleans homeowners have been burned by it.
At ABC Fire & Burglar Alarm, we do things differently. We build smart, dependable systems for real homes in the communities we live in. From Lakeview to Kenner to Slidell, we’ve protected families for years by doing the basics right, using the best technology available, and standing behind our service.
If you’re setting up a new system or finally ready to replace one that’s never quite worked right, here’s what you should know about how we do things.
You Own It, You Control It, You Keep the Rate
When you lease a security system, you don’t own anything. You’re renting hardware that often comes with restrictions, hidden fees, and inflated monthly charges. And if you try to cancel, you’ll probably pay for equipment you never even got to keep.
That’s not how we do business. With ABC, you own your system. We don’t use proprietary equipment that only works with our name on it, and we don’t raise your monthly rate six months in. The equipment is yours, the rate is one of the lowest in the industry, and if you move, you can take it with you, or we’ll help you install new equipment at your next home, or it can be easily transferred to the new owner.
Our monitoring rate is one of the lowest in the industry. No surprises, no fine print, and no lease to unwind.
Smart Home Control, Right From Your Phone
The ABC system is powered by Alarm.com, which means your entire home is in your pocket when you need it. You can check your cameras, lock or unlock doors, arm or disarm the system, adjust the thermostat, turn lights on or off, or see when your kids arrive home from school—all from your smartphone.
This kind of access matters when you’re out of town, working late, or just need peace of mind. Instead of wondering if the garage door was left open or if a package was delivered safely, you can see everything for yourself and act on it in seconds.

Real Monitoring, Not Just a Marketing Line
A lot of companies advertise 24/7 monitoring. What they don’t mention is how long it takes to respond when something actually happens.
ABC uses a UL-listed, IQ-certified monitoring center that operates around the clock. The second your system sends a signal, trained professionals go to work. If there’s a break-in, a smoke alert, or a flood warning, you’re not left hoping someone saw it—you get confirmation, action, and real backup when it counts.
This is what separates a security system from a false sense of security. We don’t just install devices, we stay with you afterward, and we take your protection seriously.
We Can Take Over Your Existing System
If you already have a system in place but your current provider is slow to respond, hard to reach, or hitting you with service charges you didn’t agree to, we can help. In most cases, we can take over the equipment you already have and bring it into our platform without replacing everything.
We start with a no-cost evaluation. If your system is in good shape, we’ll take care of the switch and begin monitoring under our terms—local service, expert support, and no hidden fees.
You’ll keep your hardware, gain better access, and finally get service that feels like someone is actually looking out for you.
We’re Local, and That Still Matters
ABC isn’t owned by a national brand. We don’t have a different area code. We’re based here, and our team serves the same neighborhoods we live in.
That matters when you’re dealing with unpredictable weather, neighborhood-specific concerns, or situations that don’t show up in a script. We’ve helped families secure their homes after break-ins, responded during hurricanes, and followed up after others walked away. When something goes wrong, you’re not dialing into a call center. You’re reaching someone who knows your system, your address, and the area you live in.
We don’t just install security—we build long-term relationships with our customers. That’s how we’ve grown, and that’s why most of our new customers come from referrals.
The Bottom Line
There’s a difference between having a security system and actually feeling secure. If you’re using a leased setup, if your provider hasn’t called you back in months, or if you’re tired of long wait times and short answers, it might be time to switch to something better.
ABC Fire & Burglar Alarm delivers local service, ownership instead of leasing, reliable technology, and people who stand behind the work. We’re not here to sell you a package and move on. We’re here to protect your home, and we take that seriously.
