Barnhart Electric Merges with Habitec Security

May 15, 2008

We are excited to announce that Habitec Security of Toledo, OH has acquired Zanesville’s Barnhart Electric. Barnhart Electric is a company similar to Habitec Security in that they both handle all security needs for commercial and residential customers. Habitec is in the process of transferring all monitored alarm systems to their own command center located in Toledo, OH.

Barnhart Electric will assume the name Habitec Security. The current customers will receive the best in security protection as has been the tradition of Habitec Security since 1972. Habitec Security has had a presence in the Columbus area for 25 years and hopes that this acquisition will strengthen their position there.

About Habitec Security

Today, it is one of the nation’s largest residential and commercial security companies. In Toledo, Habitec has the only locally owned and operated UL listed and FM approved command center. By operating our own command center we dictate the level of training and service our technicians and operators must maintain. The best detection devices in the world are of little use if the monitoring equipment and personnel aren’t maintained by quality people.

Habitec Security prides itself in the premier service that they offer to their clients. Habitec’s business philosophy and professional approach to the security industry resulted in the remarkable customer retention of 95% over a ten year period, mainly because of customers moving. This is one of the reasons that Habitec has recently opened full service branches in the Columbus and Northern Michigan markets.
