What we install
Burglar alarm installation for homes and businesses.
We supply and install intruder alarms. Every job starts with a survey, so the system fits your building and how you use it.
Wireless burglar alarms
Battery sensors that talk to the control panel by radio. Less cabling, less mess, and a good fit for rented homes and finished interiors.
Smart alarms with app alerts
Alerts go to your own phone through the alarm's app. You see them and decide what to do. We do not watch them for you.
Door and window sensors
Contacts that trigger the alarm when a door or window opens. We place them on the entry points that matter at your property.
PIR sensors
Motion detectors for hallways, living rooms and shop floors. Placed to cover the route in, and set up with pets in mind where needed.
Business alarms
Intruder alarms for shops, offices and small units, with keypads and sensors planned around opening hours and who has keys.

Good to know
Choosing an intruder alarm in Sheffield.
Three kinds of alarm
Bells-only alarms make noise on site. Self-monitored alarms also alert your phone. Monitored alarms are watched by a control room. We supply the first two only.
Police response and insurers
Police response generally needs a monitored system from an approved installer, such as an NSI approved company. We are not NSI or SSAIB approved. Ask your insurer what they require first.
Noise and cut-off
A bell that rings for a long time can upset neighbours, and councils can act on alarm noise. Choose a system that stops sounding after a set time, and tell us if you want that checked.

Burglar alarm questions.
How much does burglar alarm installation cost in Sheffield?
It depends on the size of the building, how many doors, windows and rooms need covering, and whether you want a wired or wireless system. We give a written quote after a survey, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Can I get a wireless burglar alarm?
Yes. Wireless alarms use battery sensors that talk to the panel by radio, so there is less cabling. They suit rented homes and finished rooms. We will tell you at the survey whether wireless or wired fits your building better.
Will the alarm call the police?
No. Police response generally needs a monitored alarm from an approved installer, such as an NSI approved company, and we hold no NSI or SSAIB approval. We do not offer monitoring. We supply and install bells-only alarms and alarms that alert your own phone.
Can the alarm send alerts to my phone?
Yes, with a smart alarm that has an app. Alerts go to your phone, and you decide what to do. Nobody at M.A Electrical watches them, and we do not offer remote monitoring or keyholding.
Do I need to tell my insurer before I choose an alarm?
Check first. Some home and business policies set alarm requirements, such as an approved installer or a standard to meet, and we are not NSI or SSAIB approved. Read your policy or ask your insurer before you decide, so you buy a system that meets it.
Do you install alarms in shops and offices?
Yes. We supply and install intruder alarms for shops, offices and small units across Sheffield. The survey covers entry points, opening hours and who needs a code. We do not offer monitoring.
