Home Security

Securing your home for peace of mind

Home security systems in general

In general, home security system companies require one year contract. In fact, you can get a home security system without signing a contract.

 

Monthly monitoring service costs around $20.

 

Before you contact home security system companies, make a listing of doors, windows and other entry and exit locations where you want to have security system installed. That makes the life easier for everyone and you can compare alternative offers easily.

For home security in general, visit U.S. Homeland Security web site for valuable information.

 

Single family homes are twice likely to be burglarized than apartments.

Coverage of home security system

  • Smoke and fire alarm systems must be integrated into your home security system.

  • Get UL (Underwriter's Laboratories) approved monitoring security systems.

 

Home security tips

Tip #1: Don't sign up with a home security company that requires contract to monitor your home security system.

 

Tip #2: Don't buy burglar alarms. Due to too many false alarms, police do not respond to your burglar alarm unless you call them and confirm that there is a burglary in progress.

 

Tip #3: Many local law enforcement authorities offer free walk through of your home to find out security problems. Take advantage of it!

 

A light with an inexpensive timer to turn on a lamp or two after dark may deter burglars and others to enter your home.

 

Make your valuable real estate investment secure by installing a cost-effective home security system.
