Eastern Oregon has seen a steady rise in demand for security and technology services, and Total Security has positioned itself as a key provider for both residential and commercial clients. Founded in 2018 as a joint venture between Pendleton Electric and Kennedy Web Consulting, the company has grown into a full-service operation covering alarm systems, IT infrastructure, and more. With Pendleton Electric's roots dating back to 1956, Total Security carries a legacy that resonates in a region where trust is built over generations.
Devon Kennedy, spokesperson for Total Security, emphasizes the importance of local heritage: "We are not a national chain that just moved into the area. We grew out of this community, and that shapes how we do business every single day." This philosophy is reflected in the company's approach to client relationships, whether for a rural homeowner or a large commercial operation.
Total Security offers 24/7 alarm monitoring, ensuring that help is always available, even at 2 a.m. on a Sunday. This continuous oversight is crucial for both homes and businesses, where gaps in protection can lead to significant losses. The company's monitoring infrastructure is designed to detect and respond to break-ins, fire alarms, and environmental sensor activations promptly.
Focusing specifically on communities like Pendleton, Hermiston, and La Grande, Total Security understands local response times, environmental factors, and community dynamics. This local expertise is a distinct advantage over national providers operating from distant call centers. For businesses, Total Security designs commercial alarm systems tailored to the unique needs of Eastern Oregon enterprises, from agricultural operations to retail and warehouses.
One of the company's key differentiators is its one-stop-shop model. Clients can rely on Total Security for alarm systems, cameras, access control, low-voltage wiring, IT services, and audio/video solutions, all from a single provider. This integration reduces complexity and ensures all components work together seamlessly. For commercial clients, this means a single point of contact for security systems and network infrastructure, a significant operational advantage.
Total Security's expertise spans both residential and commercial sectors, a balance that keeps the team well-rounded. The skills gained from commercial projects inform residential work, and the attention to detail expected by homeowners carries over to business projects. This dual focus is a core characteristic of the company, as Devon Kennedy notes.
The partnership between Pendleton Electric and Kennedy Web Consulting was intentional, combining decades of electrical and low-voltage expertise with cutting-edge technology knowledge. This collaboration allows Total Security to apply both electrical and IT expertise side by side on every project, offering clients security systems that are both physically robust and digitally advanced.
Total Security operates as a locally owned company with verifiable roots in the communities it serves. Whether a client needs a home alarm system, a commercial alarm system for a large facility, or a comprehensive technology buildout, Total Security has the personnel and track record to meet those needs.
