First, we come to your home for a free consultation. No sales pressure, just an honest assessment of what you need. We walk through your property, identify vulnerable points, and explain your options in plain English.
Next comes the installation. Our certified technicians arrive on time with everything needed to get your system running. We mount cameras in optimal positions, place sensors where they'll work best, and test every component before we leave.
Finally, we train you on your new system. You'll know how to arm and disarm it, check camera feeds from your phone, and use every feature. We also connect you to 24/7 monitoring so professionals are watching over your home even when you're not.

Installation costs depend on what you need and what you already have. If your home has an existing alarm system, we can often upgrade it for $139 plus monthly monitoring starting at $17.
For a complete new system, equipment packages start at $479 with professional installation included. Most Barrett homeowners spend between $500-800 total for a comprehensive system that covers doors, windows, motion detection, and cameras.
We offer free consultations so you know exactly what you'll pay before any work begins. No surprise fees or hidden costs that show up later.
Yes, we specialize in upgrading older systems. Many Barrett homes have alarm systems that were installed years ago but stopped working when the monitoring company changed or the landline was disconnected.
We can usually reactivate these systems and add modern features like cellular monitoring and smartphone control. This saves you money compared to ripping everything out and starting over.
Our technicians evaluate your existing equipment during the free consultation and explain which components can be reused and which need replacement.
Most installations happen within a week of your consultation, often sooner. Simple upgrades to existing systems can usually be completed the same day or next day.
New system installations typically take 3-4 hours depending on your home's size and the number of components. We work efficiently but never rush the testing phase because every sensor and camera needs to work perfectly.
Emergency installations for customers who've experienced break-ins or security concerns can often be arranged within 24-48 hours.
You get local service from people who know your system. Our technicians are based in the Houston area and can usually respond the same day for urgent issues.
Most problems can be diagnosed and fixed over the phone. For issues that need hands-on attention, we don't charge extra service fees for customers on monitoring plans.
We also provide phone support during normal business hours and emergency support through our 24/7 monitoring center. You're never left wondering what to do if something goes wrong.
Most insurance companies offer discounts for homes with professionally monitored security systems. Typical savings range from 5-20% on your homeowners insurance premium.
The exact discount depends on your insurance company and what security features you have installed. Systems with fire detection, burglar alarms, and professional monitoring usually qualify for the highest discounts.
We provide documentation your insurance company needs to process the discount. Many Barrett homeowners find the insurance savings help offset their monthly monitoring costs.
Local companies answer their phones and show up when they say they will. When you call Archangel, you talk to someone who knows your system and can solve problems quickly.
National chains often use subcontractors for installation and service. You might wait days or weeks for someone to come out, and they may not be familiar with your specific equipment.
We also understand Barrett's unique challenges, like older homes with unusual wiring or specific crime patterns in the area. This knowledge helps us design better security solutions for your situation.
