If criminal activity is foremost on your mind when it comes to safeguarding your most prized investment of a lifetime, your house, then you will need to ensure that the alarm company you choose can provide the service that it promises to deliver. The following are some tips to read before you decide which company you choose to provide alarm system services.


Ask if the company carries general liability, worker's compensation, and errors/omissions insurance coverage. You should ask for certificates of insurance for these things. If the company is not properly protected, any claims or losses they incur may come out of the pocket of the homeowner, which is you.
Ask to see the company's business license which authorizes them to do business in your community.
Ask for references of other clients the alarm company has serviced.
Ask if the company has been established for three to five years.
Ask where their alarm system monitoring center is located. Some companies have their monitoring center located in other states.
Make sure that the company does the entire installation service themselves and does not subcontract their work.
Scrutinize the contract before you sign on the dotted line to make sure everything agreed on verbally is in writing. Know your warranty and how long it is in effect after service has been rendered. Know what parts and services are covered in your warranty.


After your new alarm system is installed, you will have an added sense of security in deterring potential break-ins. A home alarm system is a valuable tool in fighting crime especially when you leave your house to go to the supermarket, on vacation, to your job, or anywhere away from your home.
