Howland Alarm Service Areas

Where We Work

Howland Alarm serves Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania from our office in Cortland. Our technicians cover about an hour’s drive in every direction, measured in drive time, not miles. Most of our work falls in three Ohio counties and the Pennsylvania county next door.

Our Core Area

Four Counties, One Local Team

If you can name your county, you already know whether we come to you. These four are home.

Trumbull County, Ohio
Warren, Niles, Cortland

Home base. Our office is in Cortland, and Warren is the closest major city. Service calls here are the quickest to schedule.

Mahoning County, Ohio
Youngstown, Boardman, Canfield, Poland

A close second to Trumbull County in our work. Youngstown and Boardman anchor it, with Canfield and Poland close behind.

Across the county

Homes and businesses throughout the county, from the Mahoning line south. Same crews, same response.

Mercer County, Pennsylvania
Hermitage, Sharon

The Pennsylvania side of our territory sits right next to Trumbull County. We treat it the same way we treat Warren.

We also take work in Ashtabula, Geauga, and Portage counties. Most of our work is in the four counties above, so those jobs are scheduled around the core area.

How We Decide What Is In Range

Drive Time, Not Miles

Twenty miles can be twenty minutes on the highway or forty-five on back roads. We measure our territory by how long the truck takes to reach you, because that is what affects your service.

The simple version: if you are within about an hour of Cortland by road, you are in our area. Closer means faster scheduling.

Outside the core counties we still take work. We just tell you up front what the distance means for scheduling. Our territory runs about an hour’s drive from the office and usually stops short of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh suburbs. We go further than an hour, usually for an existing customer.

Everywhere We Go

The Same Four Services In Every County

What we install in Youngstown, we install in Sharon. Every system comes with 24-hour monitoring through redundant national monitoring stations and a local operations team for everything else.

Security Systems

Home and business alarms, app control, no long-term contracts.

Local vs. national companies
Fire Alarm

Commercial design, installation, inspection, and monitoring. Many smaller companies in the Valley do not do fire. We have since 1969.

Camera systems for homes and workplaces, placed where they earn their keep.

What it costs per door
Common Questions

Do You Come To Me?

Do you service Youngstown and Boardman?
Yes. Trumbull County is the largest share of our work, Mahoning County a close second, and both are about half an hour from our office.
Do you work in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Hermitage, Sharon, and the rest of Mercer County sit right next to Trumbull County, and we serve them the same way.
How far will you travel?
About an hour by road from Cortland. Inside the four core counties, scheduling is fastest. Outside them, we tell you what the distance means before anything is booked.
My town is not listed. Do you still come?
Probably. We list counties instead of every town because the list would run to a hundred names. Call and tell us where you are, and we can answer in ten seconds.

Not sure if you are in range?

Tell us your town. If we come to you, we will say so, and the estimate is free.
