Columbia SC – AlarmQuest, a premier provider of integrated security and life safety solutions, is proud to announce the acquisition of RFP Technologies Inc. SC Division, a specialist in residential home automation and builder-partnership programs. The transaction, which officially closed on March 1, 2026, marks a pivotal milestone for AlarmQuest as it establishes a formal footprint in the South Carolina market.
Strategic Entry into South Carolina
While AlarmQuest has long maintained a presence in South Carolina, the acquisition of RFP Technologies provides a dedicated operational foundation. This “brick-and-mortar” potential allows AlarmQuest to better serve the growing demand for smart home technology in the region. The move is a deliberate step toward capturing greater market share through the integration of RFP’s established residential density and specialized builder relationships.
“Growth at AlarmQuest is about more than just numbers; it’s about finding the right market positioning to better serve our clients,” said Wil Brown, Vice President of AlarmQuest. “The acquisition of RFP Technologies is a perfect strategic fit. It officially lands us in the South Carolina market with a real footprint to build upon. We are excited to carry this momentum forward and bring our 250 years of combined expertise to a broader range of homeowners.”
Advancing the Residential Smart Home Division
RFP Technologies has distinguished itself through a robust home automation package designed specifically for area homebuilders. This model simplifies the integration of advanced technology for the homeowner while providing builders with a high-end, reliable security solution. AlarmQuest plans to absorb these builder-centric strategies into its Residential Smart Home Division, offering a refined portfolio of automated services that prioritize ease of use and modern protection.
By joining the AlarmQuest family, existing RFP clients will benefit from an enhanced service infrastructure. AlarmQuest’s commitment to “Ownership” means that every account will be supported by a larger team of experts, streamlined back-office processes, and a scrutinized portfolio of the latest security products. This transition ensures that the smart home systems homeowners depend on daily are backed by one of the most experienced teams in the industry.
