Addax Electric

What Addax Electric does

Addax Electric, Inc. is a privately held fire alarm and low voltage systems contractor founded in 2012 and headquartered at 1540 Pioneer Way, Suite 100, El Cajon, California. The company installs, monitors, and maintains fire alarm and voice evacuation systems, fire sprinkler monitoring systems, rescue assistance and area of refuge communications, emergency response radio communication systems (ERRCS), access control, CCTV, burglar alarms, and television, telephone, data, and fiber optic cabling. It also provides design and consulting plus 24-hour emergency and non-emergency technician services across government, state, city, county, and private-sector clients throughout Southern California.

The business operates on a mix of one-time installation revenue (project-based contracts for new construction and retrofits in hospitality, multi-family residential, commercial, and public-sector facilities) and recurring monitoring subscriptions (fire alarm, sprinkler, rescue assistance, burglar, and elevator systems). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is differentiated primarily by its regulatory credentials — CSLB, SBE, DIR, SDHC, and California Alarm Company Operator licenses — and by manufacturer-authorized partnerships with Kidde, Kantech, Hikvision, Brivo, DSC, Leviton, Rath, and ICC, which allow it to act as a single-source fire-and-low-voltage integrator.

Go-to-market is direct sales-led, leveraging a professional website, social media presence (Facebook, LinkedIn), Yelp listings, and direct phone/email inquiry channels to reach enterprise and institutional buyers. The company is founder/management-owned with 1-10 employees, no disclosed outside funding, and no M&A or restructuring activity on record; it markets primarily through industry referrals, manufacturer relationships, and its visible project portfolio.
