A lot of the east metro is newer construction: subdivisions in Woodbury and Cottage Grove, townhome associations, and larger lots in Lake Elmo. Many of these homes were pre-wired for security, which can make installation faster and neater.
We plan the system around your layout, including attached garages, walkout basements, and patio doors, and around how your family uses the house.
We also cover the rest of the east metro and western Wisconsin. Contact us with your address to confirm.
When an alarm is confirmed, our central station calls the agency that covers your address: Woodbury Public Safety, Cottage Grove or Hastings police, or the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. Operators pass along the details from your account so responders know what to expect.
Most systems start with monitored door, window, and motion sensors. From there you can add smoke and carbon monoxide detection, video doorbells and cameras, or a medical alert button for an aging parent.
Every Nighthawk system reports to a UL Listed, TMA Five Diamond certified central station staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Redundant centers in Florida, New Jersey, and California back each other up, so a storm or outage in one region doesn’t leave your home unmonitored.
We hold a BBB A+ rating, a 4.7 out of 5 rating on Angi, and Minnesota license TS000435. We install Resideo and Honeywell Home equipment with Total Connect 2.0 app control, so you’re never locked into proprietary hardware.
Installation starts at a discounted $299 with a three-year service agreement and includes a control panel, battery backup, communicator, one motion sensor, and three door and window contacts. Pricing is the same across our Minnesota and Florida service areas. We’ll walk through exactly what your home needs, and what it costs, before anything is installed.
