Top 5 Home Security Dealers
According to SDM Magazine, the top 5 home security dealers for 2006 ranked by residential installations are:
- APX Alarm (95,979)
- Guardian Protection (27,307)
- Slomin’s Security (24,773)
- Protect America (18,325)
- ASG Security (13,045)
Some of the largest national home security dealers did not rank in the 2006 SDM 100 because firms were ranked by recurring monthly revenue (RMR) and not total gross revenue.
“…companies such as Ranger American, Firstline Security, and Defender Security (ranked No. 9, No. 26, and No. 36, respectively, in last year’s SDM 100 report) typically have high sales revenue, but routinely sell their subscriber contracts as part of an authorized dealer program, resulting in low RMR. Also a large part of these firms’ total revenue is from the sale of those contracts to another security firm. The new basis for ranking allows the SDM 100 to not include revenue that simply changes hands among alarm dealers and doesn’t come from the end-user market.”
