Peak Alarm

What Peak Alarm does

PEAK Alarm, founded in 1969 by Jerry D. Howe, is a Mountain West security and fire protection provider serving both residential and commercial customers across Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Colorado, and Oregon. The company was acquired by Pye-Barker Fire & Safety in 2024, adding six Western U.S. locations and approximately 120 employees to the parent's portfolio; it now operates as a brand under Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, LLC from six facilities in Salt Lake City, St. George, Boise, Idaho Falls, and Montrose.

Its core offering spans integrated alarm systems, video surveillance, access control, license plate recognition, intrusion detection, fire alarm and suppression systems, life safety equipment, and Alarm.com-powered building/home automation. The technical architecture combines professionally installed on-premise hardware with 24/7 UL-listed central-station monitoring, environmental hazard sensors, and a connected mobile interface for real-time alerts and remote control. Notable technical components include UL-listed and 5-Diamond CSAA-certified monitoring operations and Alarm.com-driven smart-building integration for thermostats, lighting, and access control.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time installation fees (security systems, fire detection, automation hardware) and recurring streams including 24/7 monitoring subscriptions, recurring inspection/maintenance contracts for fire extinguishers, sprinklers, and suppression systems, and 24-hour emergency response. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer residential acquisition (phone-based, online quote forms, free estimates) with enterprise field sales targeting commercial properties and a national accounts program for multi-location businesses administered via the Pye-Barker parent. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year commercial contracts; no public pricing is disclosed. Customer segments span homeowners and commercial businesses across nine named verticals — automotive, education, financial, healthcare, hospitality, oil & gas, religious, retail, and warehouse/industrial.
