Why an alarm system? Is one of the most common questions asked by most homeowners that are considering what is the difference between having a professionally monitor alarm system installed versus not having one.

To answer this question let’s first discuss what happens when a burglary occurs at a home without a professionally monitored alarm system. Recent statistics show that 1 burglary occurs every 14.6 seconds. Over 60% of all burglaries occur between 6am and 6pm. This means most burglaries occur when you are not at home. Without an alarm system a burglary can occur without the homeowner’s knowledge, which can lead to extensive damages to your property and harm to your family. In 2009 alone, U.S burglary victims lost 4.6 billion dollars in property. In many cases, family members or the homeowner confront the intruder(s) during the burglary.

Peace of Mind is the #1 reason homeowners install professionally monitored alarm systems.

If you could deter burglars and keep your family safe, would you? When you install a professionally monitored alarm system, a yard sign and decal for the windows are the first line of defense implemented to deter burglaries. In fact, having a security system reduces the chance of a burglary triple fold. If a burglary should occur, the alarm system siren will sound loudly, local police will immediately be dispatched, and our central station will contact the homeowner to advise them of the situation.
