The safety of your family and home should always be your number one concern. Much like our cell phones, home alarm systems have come a long way. In addition to “scaring away the bad guys”, a monitored alarm system can also call emergency personnel, flash your homes lights in an emergency, be controlled from your cell phone, turn off your air conditioning, turn on the porch light before you arrive at home, detect carbon monoxide and much more. Alarm systems are most commonly thought of as a way to ward off intruders. While they still serve that purpose in many cases, they also come with several other benefits.
· One touch emergency call – Most systems come with a one touch button for fire, ambulance or police. This is an incredible feature if you need to leave quickly, tend to someone else in home. Alarm companies will send emergency personnel after a few minutes of non-response once an alarm is sounded.
· Deter intruders – The visual signs of an alarm sticker on your window or a sign in your front yard will be enough to make an intruder think twice.
· Insurance Discount - If you own your home, you may be eligible to receive a discount on your home owner’s insurance policy. Homes with an alarm system are a lower liability for insurance companies.
· Mobile operation - Many alarm systems allow operation from your mobile device. You have the capacity to arm or disarm your security alarm, turn your air conditioning system on or off as well as operate interior and exterior lighting controls all from your phone.
· Smoke detector - An alarm system has the capacity to detect both carbon monoxide and smoke, alerting you to danger.
· Adds value to your home – In this competitive real estate market, an alarm system will add value to your home.
Most importantly, a home alarm system can give you and your family peace of mind. If you are considering an alarm system, most companies will offer you a free estimate. It is wise to obtain three bids and thoroughly investigate any service provider before signing a contract. In the Las Vegas and Henderson area, our preferred vendor is Total Safety, Inc.
