NCA did a great job on my install. It was done quickly with no issues. They came highly recommended by both my contractor and my friends who have used their services for over 15 years. I do not know if all their installers are as good as Mike, but he is great and very personable.

We had NCA at the old house and enjoyed the relationship with such a good, local company. So, when we built our new home it was a given that we would secure it with NCA! Securing our new home was a breeze and it is working well.

I love NCA. You do have to purchase your alarm equipment if you don’t already have some they can convert but it was still cheaper than our free equipment companies. I researched just to make sure. This is our 2nd home with them. The installation was smooth the tech explained everything. I refer all my friends and family to them. It’s the cheapest and best way to go. Make sure you research and I am sure your findings will be the same as mine. Oh best of all you are not tied up in a contract.

We chose NCA Alarm Company to install a new system throughout our home. The installer Lonnie was super efficient and installed everything we needed in less than one day. Two new panels, window and door entry alarms, glass break, water, and heat sensors, smoke alarms, and indoor + outdoor cameras. We couldn't be more happy with the install and new system! Highly recommend this team for your entire alarm system needs, they will take great care of you and your home! Thank you NCA!

Timely, professional, and supremely affordable! In today's very competitive home security market I was thrilled to have NCA come out and put together the perfect security system for me. There weren't any surprise fees as my entire system was quoted, down to the tax, before I even needed to schedule an instal window. My installer was quick and worked to make sure I was totally confident in my new system. I would 100% recommend NCA to anyone new to home security looking to really maximize their monthly expenses. NCA really provides instant peace of mind!

I chose to go with NCA because they are a local company and were highly recommended. The technician called when he was headed my way, arrived on time, and was so nice. It took about two hours to install my video doorbell camera and convert my existing alarm system. The technician was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. He showed me how to work everything and answered all of my questions. He did a very thorough job. I would definitely recommend NCA if you're in need of home security. It's affordable and the service is awesome!

I would recommend NCA as the alarm company of choice to anyone searching. They are reasonably priced, courteous, and the time to install was quick! The technician was extremely knowledgeable with questions I had about our system. I used NCA in the past at a previous house and knew I wanted them to be our alarm monitoring service at our new residence as well. 5 stars for NCA!

Needed an install as soon as possible. Worked me in an Allen the technician was very attentive. Discussed the installation, discussed my options, even cleaned up when he was done.
Checked several companies. After you factor in the high monitoring cost versus cheap equipment cost they all balance out to about the same.
With this firm the equipment is yours, you own it and can select any monitor. Their monitoring is one of lowest.
Very good experience all around.

We have been using NCA for about twenty years and have always had prompt service and never experienced any issues of any kind with this company. The few times I have accidentally set off the alarm, the monitoring company called me within seconds.

My neighbors suggested this company after I expressed unhappiness with one of the national chains. My neighbors have used this company for several years and are very satisfied. I had NCA put a system in when I moved here 10 years ago and the company has been wonderful! They are very responsive when there is an alarm, their support staff are all local, and their alarm staff is USA based, which makes a big difference to me. They offer both cellular and landline security systems at competitive rates.

I called NCA and spoke with 2 different people who told me 2 different things. One acted like I was bothering him. One of my neighbors who is happy with NCA told me to ask for John. Well John answered the phone and it was the same experience as the last 2 guys. I ended up going with a different alarm company.

I've been with NCA for at least 20 years. Initially I had ADT system, and after my contract ended I went with NCA for $9.95/month (price never changed for landline). In 2017 I decided to update for wireless dialer ($19.95/month) and got rid of landline fees. During my time as a customer I have changed out my keypad and had sensors put in my windows. I am sure I will add other services this next year. No person or company is perfect. When I have had issues, I generally have a good result. I like that I live on the West side and their office is on Charlotte Ave. I also like that NCA feels like

I called to inquire about having NCA monitor my existing system. My mom and neighbor has this company and recommended me to give a call. I had several questions and after talking to the representative for about 5 minutes he informed me he had a doctors appointment and needed to "rap this call up". REALLY? so I said well thank you and hung up.

Worst company in the world the employees Dustin said they do not have a customer service dept John the manager said they were waiving the 89.00 disconnect fee because of the way I was treated from the service technician that came out to disconnect the the system only to be charged the 89.00 a week later, I called to discuss it it seems the owner named scooter said to charge the fee very unprofessional when I asked John for the owner to call me I was told he would call when he had time ...what a joke DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY they tell lies and do not honor any agreements BUYER BEWARE

Just had NCA install our security system in Nashville. Over all, we are pleased. Simple, easy to use system. Technician was polite and helpful. The only negative so far was the technician installed one of the door sensors at the base of the door where it could be knocked off. I asked him to move it to the top which he did.

Highly recommend NCA Alarms! I have received better service without any hassle in the last 6-months than I did in the last ten plus years as a customer of that national chain. Instead of trying to scare me and sell me new stuff I don't need, NCA Alarms focused on making what I have work. Thank you, peace of mind is a great thing!

We have been happy NCA customers for more than 8 years through multiple moves. We like the idea of locally owned and personally accountable. I would much rather pay for equipment upfront and have a low monthly/annual fee - the NCA approach, than high never ending monthly costs. The service and response has always been friendly and timely. Keep up the good work NCA.

NCA has been our company of choice for home security for about 5 years. Their monitoring is very responsive and has been reliable. We did have an incident recently where the police showed up at our door after a false alarm was cancelled. After working through this incident with NCA we are satisfied that this issue has been properly addressed. We are still confident that we have chosen an excellent alarm company. Thank you to Joey and Mr. stein for helping us to resolve this issue promptly.

Not sure what some folks problem is with businesses charging ACTUAL money for ACTUAL services. Not everything should be free, and if it were all included, you'd be paying 5x as much as the basic service. There are additional options AVAILABLE, but you don't have to purchase them if you don't want them. There are no contracts, and if you add a service, try it out, and don't want it, you can get it removed from your account. My wife and I priced out other options: ADT - $40-50/mo, Comcast Home Security - $40-45/mo. So why are we complaining about $19.99/mo? We bought our system

After hearing great recommendations all over town for NCA I decided to have my alarm hooked up with them. From the beginning and ever since they have been super easy to work with, professional and affordable. The few times Ive had questions about my system they have been available and answered all my questions. The technician was on time, knew what he was doing and was quick to install the system. Fabulous service across the board. Overall I would absolutely recommend NCA Alarms and have to several people already.
