American Total Protection is a Family Owned Company

American Total Protection is a family owned home security company with offices in Melbourne, FL; Hamden, CT and Salem, NH. We have customers all over the Florida and New England areas. We are often asked by our customers: how do you typically meet potential clients?

1. Existing customer base
First and foremost, ATP owes its success to existing customers. By far and away, our customers are the leading lead source for our new business. For that, we thank you! Whether it is a customer referring us to a new neighbor, leaving our company literature at their old home, or suggesting to a friend to call us, a referral from an existing customer is treated as gold at American Total Protection.

2. Cold-Calling
Our sales team is constantly trying to educate friends, families, and peers on the need for life safety products. In other words, they cold-call! Whether it is Michael visiting a BNI group or Dillon leaving a flier with a new home buyer, our sales team works very hard to educate potential customers. If you happen to see an ATP team member our on the road or in your neighborhood, do not hesitate to say hello!

3. Internet and Social Media
As you may have noticed over the past year, we are increased our internet and social media presence. This has allowed American Total Protection to increase brand awareness and ultimately lead to more sales. We try to keep existing and potential customers up to date on security trends and technology through our website and social media outlets. If you ever come across an interesting article pertaining to life safety, please pass it along! We would love to share it with our other clients.

As Honeywell authorized security dealers we have the backing of a Fortune 100 company, yet ATP is still a family owned company and we always will be . Our clients sometimes are intimidated by our growth. We hear their concerns but we believe that the larger we get, the more our existing customers will benefit.

As we onboard new customers, it allows us to better service our existing customer base. For example, if we used to have 10 customers in Lakeville, CT and we now have 20, it allows our service department to more efficiently services that location, resulting in faster service times for our existing customer base.

In addition, as we grow, we receive better equipment pricing from our suppliers . This allows us to offer more competitive pricing to our existing customers on new equipment !

We value your business and want your help in growing! Please provide us feedback on how we can be better! Call, email or visit our website.

Customer service matters. When choosing a service provider for your home or business, it is important to understand the providers’ customer service capabilities. Does the company have a support team? Do they have an on-call technician if there is an emergency? Does the company make paying the bill easy? How hard is it to schedule service? We all want to support local and small companies. However, it is important that your local business can service your account in an efficient manner.
Fairfield CT Home Alarm System Upgrade: A Modern Retrofit
By Rence Coassin May 9, 2025
Homeowners choose to buy an alarm system for a variety of reasons—theft, robbery, life safety (Smokes and Carbons, etc.). Depending on the wants, circumstances, and the needs of the customer, ATP designs a custom solution. If a homeowner or business has an existing alarm, American Total Protection does its best to utilize the working devices and infrastructure. In many cases, we can use everything. However, some times the devices are too old (smoke detectors and CO’s have a recommended replacement date) or wireless devices can be encrypted. ATP has the knowledge and experience to design systems that utilize existing components where applicable in order to control cost.
