How to choose an alarm company
Choosing an alarm company can be confusing and the technology complicated. Here are some suggestions:

Check with friends or neighbors for recommendations on reliable companies.

Find out how quickly the alarm company will install your system after purchase. See if the company sells systems faster than they can install them.

Determine how quickly they respond to requests for service after installation. Ask for references from some of their customers who have required service and call and talk to these people.

Ask about warranties.

Obtain quotes from at least three different companies.

Ask the alarm company what screening they do when hiring their alarm installers and salespeople. You want a company that screens for criminal backgrounds/records, etc.

Call your local police department and ask how long it takes them to respond to a home security system alarm. Don't be surprised if the estimated response time is as long as an hour. Also ask if there are any fines for false alarms.

Lastly, when comparing prices remember to compare detection coverage and features. Not all alarms are created equal.

All of the choices may seem confusing at first, but the solution is simple. Most security alarm companies are huge out-of-state companies that hire part time salepeople (usually students) to go door to door and sell as many alarm systems as they can. They will do whatever it takes to get you into one of their "deals." To avoid these issues... make sure to find a local security company with an actual business store front and real employees and sales staff to take care of you. Make sure that your system will be monitored locally in you same time zone by a company that has a personal relationship with local police and emergency response organizations. Too many of these monitoring stations are foreign subcontractors and the like.
