Yadkinville, NC – AlarmQuest, the region’s premier security and automation provider, is proud to announce the acquisition of the security division of Zirrus, a prominent telecommunications provider based in Yadkinville, NC. The transaction, which closed on April 1, 2026, represents the largest acquisition in AlarmQuest’s history and significantly bolsters the company’s residential and commercial portfolio across North Carolina.
The acquisition was made possible through AlarmQuest’s strategic partnership with Rockland Trust. As a specialized lender in the Security and Life Safety sector, Rockland Trust provided the essential financing and structural support required to execute a deal of this magnitude.
“This acquisition is a landmark moment for our company,” said Wil Brown, VP of AlarmQuest. “We have been in discussions with Zirrus for several years, and we are thrilled to finally bring this partnership to fruition. Because the Zirrus team utilized equipment our technicians are already expertly trained on, we are in a unique position to ‘hit the ground running’ and provide immediate, high-level support to these new clients.”
Strategic Focus and Seamless Transition
The acquisition allows Zirrus to refocus on its core internet and mobile strategies while ensuring its security customers transition to a dedicated industry expert. Zirrus leadership selected AlarmQuest specifically for its impeccable reputation and “cutting-edge” approach to automation and monitoring.
In a joint welcome letter to clients, Ken Mills, CEO of Zirrus, emphasized the rationale behind the move:
“We chose AlarmQuest because of their impeccable reputation within the security alarm industry. They are quickly becoming one of the most admired, distinguished, and cutting-edge security and automation companies in the region. Merging our security business with AlarmQuest will help ensure that we continue to fulfill our commitment to delivering peace of mind.”
Commitment to the Customer Experience
As part of the integration, AlarmQuest will assume all monitoring and service responsibilities for the Zirrus security base. To ensure a frictionless experience, alarm monitoring and mobile apps will remain unchanged for existing customers. The acquisition fits perfectly into AlarmQuest’s existing operational map, allowing for enhanced response times and access to a broader suite of security products and specialized services.
