History

NorthStar Home was formed in 2000, originally to take advantage of unique marketing opportunities created with the deregulation of public utilities brought about by the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Its original focus was in the telecommunication and energy markets. Because of the strong sales background of the company and its management, other service companies expressed interest in working with NorthStar to increase their customer base.

The company began operating sales offices in Ohio. Since then, the company has established a customer base in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Washington. NorthStar partners with UL listed Rapid Response Monitoring to provide advanced digital and two-way voice monitoring available.

In January 2015, it was announced that NorthStar would acquire 8000 accounts from Vision Security, effectively expanding the company's reach into Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Minnesota.

NorthStar became a member of the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce in 2011, also known as the Provo-Orem Chamber of Commerce.

In 2010, NorthStar was ranked No. 55 on the Security Distributing and Marketing (SDM) 100 Report and in 2011 they were ranked No. 47. According to the 2012 SDM 100 Report, Northstar Alarm moved up to No. 40 on the Top 100 report for U.S. security firms, based on recurring monthly revenue. NorthStar continued to climb the ranks on the SDM Top 100 List and is now No.24 in the nation for security and No. 14 in the residential segment (2016).

NorthStar entered into a $40 million financial partnership with Goldman Sachs and The Beekman Group in 2013.

In 2013, NorthStar was named as one of the "Top Companies to Work for in Utah Valley."

NorthStar, a Utah-based company noted as the 18th largest residential security and automation company in nation by SDM Magazine, was named a runner up for the "Best Companies to Work For" award by Utah Business Magazine. This is NorthStar's first year in the running for the award.

In 2014, the MountainWest Capital Network unveiled its 2014 Utah 100 Awards Program recipients, including NorthStar Alarm at number 68, the company's first appearance on the list. The Utah 100 is in its 20th year of operation and continues to recognize the fastest growing companies in Utah, based on successful revenue growth in the past year.

NorthStar Alarm and its equity investors, The Beekman Group and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., are excited to announce the acquisition of certain assets from Vision Security, a residential alarm company listed at No. 47 overall on the SDM Top 100 List in 2014. This acquisition of assets expands NorthStar's geographical reach and provides additional resources for accelerated growth over the next five years. NorthStar's organic growth, along with the addition of Vision assets, has more than doubled the company's size since its equity recapitalization just 20 months ago.
