When it comes to protecting your home, the security company you choose matters more than the hardware they install. A system is only as good as the people behind it, and for New Orleans families, that means working with a partner who knows the area, understands your needs, and delivers service that lives up to the promise.
At ABC Fire & Burglar Alarm, we’ve built our reputation on being that kind of partner. We don’t just install alarms, we help homeowners make informed decisions, stay in control, and feel confident in the system they rely on.
So before you sign a long-term contract or hand over your home’s safety to a call center across the country, here are a few things you should know.
National Isn’t Always Better
Big-name security brands come with polished sales scripts, bundled packages, and long-term contracts. What they don’t always offer is flexibility, responsiveness, or the ability to speak with someone who knows your neighborhood.
ABC is locally owned, and we serve the same areas we live in. From Uptown to Slidell to Metairie, we know the layout of the homes, the types of properties we’re protecting, and the local challenges that come with everything from hurricane season to break-ins.
More importantly, when you call us, you get a real person who knows your system, not a 45-minute hold and a script.
Transparency Starts With Ownership
One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is signing up for a system they don’t own. Most national security providers lease the equipment and tie it to their service. That means if you want to cancel or switch, the hardware stays behind, and you’re stuck paying for a new setup.
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.
Everything Works in One Place
A modern security system is more than just an alarm. At ABC, we use the Alarm.com platform to tie your cameras, sensors, smart locks, thermostats, and lights into a single interface. You can control it all from one app, whether you’re across town or across the country.
You can see when the kids get home from school, turn lights on before you arrive, or get an alert if someone tries to open a door in the middle of the night. It’s about control, visibility, and knowing your home is secure even when you’re not there.

Monitoring That Responds When It Matters
A system isn’t worth much if no one responds to it. ABC provides 24/7 professional monitoring through a UL-listed, IQ-certified central station. That means real people are watching for real threats, and they respond immediately if something goes wrong.
Whether it’s a break-in, a fire, or a flood, you’ll never be left wondering if someone got the message. We don’t outsource our service, and we don’t cut corners. That’s one of the reasons so many homeowners across the New Orleans area trust us to watch over what matters most.
We Can Take Over Your Existing System
Already have a system you’re unhappy with? You don’t have to start from scratch. In many cases, we can take over your existing setup, evaluate its performance, and bring it under our monitoring platform with little or no change to the hardware.
We start with a free system review to make sure everything is functioning properly. If it is, we can often keep what you have and just improve how it works. That means no costly rip-outs, no wasted gear, and no headaches.
