The five written Google reviews of Hirtle Electric and Alarm are about security and alarm systems, and they name the same person: Scott. In a February 2026 review, a homeowner upgrading a 30-year-old security system described Scott as the owner of the company, said he gave an honest estimate, answered their many questions in a timely way, and did all the equipment installation himself rather than sending a salesperson or a subcontractor. The Rowley company says it has provided alarm monitoring and security systems to the North Shore of Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire for over a decade. A January 2025 reviewer said Scott replaced an outdated alarm with a more sophisticated system that was easier to use. In a September 2024 review, a customer said he readied their dad's home for winter with surveillance and environmental sensors, and called him responsive, punctual and reasonably priced. A November 2022 reviewer described quick replies, timely estimates, a schedule bent to fit theirs, and a clean, orderly installation. The business holds a 5-star average across 27 Google ratings. Its site advertises free estimates and 24/7 emergency service, and lists Master Electrician License-# 13410M and Master Electrical License #MS60022897. Its Massachusetts electrician licence #3012-EL-A1 is active on the state registry, with Hirtle Electric And Alarm Inc as holder of record.
I upgraded my 30 year old home security system and hired Hirtle Electric and Alarm to do it. Owner of the company, Scott, came to my home and provided me with an honest estimate. He answered my numerous questions in a timely manner. I’m extremely pleased with his knowledge, professionalism and the work that was performed. I dealt directly with him, not a salesperson as with other companies who I also contacted regarding the upgrade, and he did all equipment installation as opposed to a subcontractor doing it. I highly recommend Hirtle Electric and Alarm should you require any type of Security Systems.
We love our new system and all the options it provides. Scott was so great to work with and really pays attention to detail. It was great to work with someone who takes care in what he does and is such a nice person!
We needed to update our alarm system. Scott made it easy. Our previous system was outdated and he updated us to a more sophisticated system. Better protection and easier to use. Highly recommend him to anyone in need of an alarm system.
Scott is an absolute professional - responsive, punctual, skilled, and priced reasonably. Couldn't ask for a better experience as he got my Dad's home ready for the winter with surveillance and environmental sensors to protect it.
Hirtle Electric & Alarm is the benchmark that all alarm companies and installers should be measured against. Scott quickly responded to my inquiries, answered my questions, gave excellent insight and provided estimates in a timely manner. Scott was flexible with his schedule to meet my schedule for the installation of the system. During the installation process Scott was on time, answered a ton of questions, was open to making a few tweaks and an all around great guy! Installation of the system was clean and orderly, by far the best experience I have had with an alarm system installer. Anyone that is considering installing a quality & top tier alarm system should utilize Hirtle Electric & Alarm!
