Since 1983, Young's Security, Inc. has been dedicated to serving the Central Illinois area.  At Young's we offer the highest standards of excellence in our installations and we will customize our service to meet your individual needs.  Our service area includes a 100 mile radius of our home office in Springfield, Illinois.  That includes Springfield, Jacksonville, Beardstown, Decatur, Champaign, Peoria, Carlinville, Taylorville and all others in between.  Of course we can go further.
 
A Young's security system will not only provide you with protection against burglary and fire, but can also monitor for carbon monoxide, water flow, propane and LP leakage, high and low temperatures or humidity, water leakage, sump pump failure and power loss. 

At Young's Security Systems, we implement security strategies to protect our customers. For example, we will inspect your home or business for possible points of intrusion or other concerns and determine where to install a series of door and window sensors, glass breakage sensors, and alarm screens on your premises.  Interior motion detectors act as backup to the perimeter line of defense.  Smoke and heat detectors will notice a fire at its earliest stages.  Low temperature and water detectors will operate 24/7 to protect your property from damage.  Our knowledgeable staff has custom designed hundreds of burglar alarm and surveillance systems.  We provide as much attention to detail in one installation as the next. 

"I'm proud of the way we operate at Young's.  Our people are the best in the business, very skilled and conscientious.  Many have been at it and with us for 15-20 years.  Our turnover is very low. We have a great atmosphere here and we enjoy each other's company - that translates nicely to how we treat our customers.  The Young's Team gets the power of positive relationships." 

-- Jim Havey, Owner

Why do customers choose Young’s Security?

1.  Individual Care 

Young's is a medium sized family owned business with local ties.  This company was started out of the breakroom of Young's Inc., Appliance Sales and Service.  Our father Leo Havey, Jr. purchased the appliance business in November 1971 and proceeded to build it into one one the finest and best known Appliance and TV retail locations in central Illinois.  In 1997 we sold off the appliance business to concentrate soley on the security business.  We still have many loyal customers out there.  When you treat people well they come back and they send their family and friends.  At Young's you will deal with the owners directly.  If you have questions or a problem we are always available.
