Choosing Home Security Systems


Contact three separate security companies to receive an estimate on installing a system in your home.

Find out if they are licensed to install home security systems in your state and what screening process do they complete on their employees.

Ask the home security companies you are considering for a list of references.

Check the security company out with you local Better Business Bureau.

Call the non-emergency line of your local Police Department and ask which systems they recommend.

Setup an appointment to receive a free estimate on installing a security alarm system in your home.

Have the security systems company put in writing what the total charges will be for the installation, the system and the monthly monitoring if applicable.

If you are going to sign a contract for monthly monitoring what are you options if you are not satisfied with the service or decide to move? These are all questions that should be asked up front and then have the home security systems company put their answers in writing.
