Mountain Alarm Announces Acquisition of Burgarello Alarm

Mountain Alarm logo
September 18, 2020

Mountain Alarm announced today the acquisition of Burgarello Alarm in Reno, Nev. This is Mountain Alarm’s fifth acquisition in the Intermountain West in the last 18 months. Mountain Alarm is ranked 25 on the SDM 100 2020 report.

Founded by Louie Burgarello in 1972, Burgarello Alarm is a full-service alarm integrator with over 40 team members and over 7,000 monitored customers in northern Nevada.

“After dedicating 48 years of my life to the life safety industry it was a difficult decision to sell,” Burgarello said. “Ultimately, I chose Mountain Alarm because I believe they will do the best job taking care of the Burgarello Alarm team and customers. I’m excited to see Mountain Alarm continue to grow the business in Northern Nevada.”

“I have admired Burgarello Alarm my entire career,” Eric Garner, president and CEO of Mountain Alarm, said. “They have a reputation in Northern Nevada as one of the premier alarm companies. I see a lot of similarities between Burgarello Alarm and Mountain Alarm; both businesses are family owned and operated, we both strive for same day service, and both teams have been empowered to treat each customer as if they are our only customer.”
