5.Ask the five providers to come out to your home and give you a written estimate of all costs including installation, monitoring and terms of the contract for the home security service.
6.Conduct an interview with the Representatives of the home security service when they come out to your house. Ask the following questions:

Once youve interviewed the Representative of the home security service and have everything in writing then sit-down and compare their proposals for home security.

You should be able to come out with a clear winner from the proposals and which company gave you the best impression of their home security service.
