Intruder Alarm Systems Built Around Your Property
A professionally installed alarm system remains one of the most powerful deterrents against burglary. Research consistently shows that properties with visible alarm systems are far less likely to be targeted — and when an alarm does sound, it prompts rapid response. MPW Electrical Security install intruder alarms for homes and businesses across Wigan and the North West, with systems ranging from straightforward bells-only alarms to fully monitored, insurance-graded setups.
We work primarily with Texecom alarm panels — a market-leading UK brand trusted by security professionals nationwide. Texecom systems offer excellent reliability, flexible zone configuration, and full support for wireless components, meaning we can install a high-quality alarm with minimal disruption to your property's décor. Our alarm systems include PIR motion sensors to detect movement in rooms, door and window contacts to trigger the alarm the moment a point of entry is breached, and a bell box (external siren) to alert neighbours and deter intruders. For added peace of mind, we can specify systems to NSI/SSAIB grades that are accepted by home and business insurers as a condition of cover — something a standard DIY kit simply cannot provide.
Modern alarm systems can also be smart. With a Texecom Connect setup, you can arm and disarm your alarm remotely via a smartphone app, receive push notifications if the alarm is triggered, and integrate your alarm with CCTV cameras for a fully joined-up security system. Annual servicing contracts are also available to keep your system in good working order and maintain any insurance requirements.

Alarm Systems for Homes & Businesses
We install three main categories of alarm system — here's what each one involves and which type of property each is best suited to.
Residential Alarms
Home alarm systems from MPW are designed to be reliable, effective and unobtrusive. A typical residential installation includes a control panel, keypad, external bell box, a selection of PIR sensors for rooms and hallways, and door and window contacts on all vulnerable entry points. We can install fully wireless systems that leave walls intact, or wired systems for new builds and properties undergoing renovation. All panels are user-friendly, and we take the time to explain how to use your alarm fully before leaving. Smart-enabled options allow app control and instant alerts to your mobile.
Commercial Alarms
Business premises present different security challenges — larger floor areas, multiple access points, staff key-holding requirements and often a need for insurance-grade systems. Our commercial alarm installations use multi-zone panels allowing different areas of a building to be armed or isolated independently. Staff can be issued with individual key fobs or codes for auditing purposes, and zones can be programmed to match shift patterns and opening hours. For premises requiring a monitored system — where an alarm triggers a response from a professional alarm receiving centre — we can specify and install an appropriate graded system.
Smart Alarms
The Texecom Connect system transforms your alarm into a smart home security hub. Using the smartphone app, you can arm and disarm the alarm from anywhere — useful if a family member forgets, or you need to let a tradesperson in while you're away. Push notifications land on your phone the moment a sensor is triggered, and you can check the status of individual zones remotely. Smart alarms also integrate seamlessly with CCTV systems — pair them together and your cameras automatically begin recording the moment a sensor is activated. It's a genuinely intelligent approach to home and business security.
