The Good

  • Multiple Pricing Modules
  • Professional Installation 
  • Professional Monitoring
  • Mobile App

Multiple Pricing Modules

A-TECH Security has four pricing modules so you can select a plan that works best for your budget. Price is determined by the following monitoring options:

  • Phone line monitoring — $21.95 per month
  • Wireless radio monitoring — $31.95 per month
  • Cellular monitoring — $36.95 per month
  • Wireless radio and internet monitoring — $39.45 per month

Professional Installation 

Professional installation is required for three out of four of A-TECH Security’s pricing modules. This helps ensure your security system is set up correctly. However, an additional fee is required for this service. 

Professional Monitoring

24/7 professional monitoring is included in the monthly price of your security system. Be aware that many home security companies partner with another company to provide monitoring services. We recommend discussing monitoring services with the sales representative in detail. Make sure you know who to contact for assistance in different scenarios (i.e., triggered alarms, false alarms, etc.).

Mobile App

The cellular monitoring and wireless radio and internet modules allow you to manage and monitor your security system from a mobile app. The A-TECH Security’s website links to a video demo of the mobile app. However, the video is listed as “private” on YouTube and cannot be viewed. You will need to ask a sales representative to see a demo of the mobile app.

The Bad

  • Installation Fee
  • Undisclosed Contract Information
  • Undisclosed Equipment Information
  • Home Automation Compatibility 

Installation Fee

The wireless radio and cellular monitoring options require a $199 one-time installation fee. The wireless radio and internet monitoring option requires a $299 one-time installation fee. 

Undisclosed Contract Information

A-TECH Security’s website does not list any contract information. It is a common practice in the home security industry to not list contract details on the company’s website. However, we encourage you to talk to sales representatives about specific contract obligations. 

While the industry is starting to move away from long-term contracts, it is not uncommon to find 36–60 month service contracts. A major, industry-wide complaint among home security customers is feeling they were deceived into signing long-term contracts they can’t get out of. Be sure to read any contracts thoroughly before signing. Don’t hesitate to ask for clarification on anything that is unclear.

Undisclosed Equipment Information

A-TECH Security’s website does not provide any does not provide any information on the security equipment it sells. However, the company is an authorized Alarm.com dealer. You can view compatible equipment on Alarm.com’s website. 

Home Automation Compatibility

A-TECH Security’s website does not mention any home automation products or services. However, as an authorized Alarm.com dealer, the company’s security systems should be compatible with many home automation devices. You will need to speak to a sales representative for more information.

The Bottom Line

A-TECH Security is an appealing choice for customers in the Albuquerque area. The company offers four pricing modules so you can select a security system that fits your budget.

However, its website provides limited information on equipment and contract length. If you are interested in purchasing a home security system from A-TECH Security, we encourage you to discuss any contract obligations with a sales representative before making a final decision. 

We do not currently have any customer reviews for A-TECH Security. We recommend comparing its services with other top-rated home security companies.

I love the service. I just wish we had a monthly, not quarterly, billing option, and an auto debit option. I don't like having to wait for an invoice. It's a bit old-fashioned

A definite improvement over our previous security company. We have had to work out some kinks along the way but it's getting better.
