Insurance companies recognize the actual and deterrent value of home security systems. That's why they often provide a homeowner's policy premium discount if you install a home security system. While discounts vary, annual savings of 10% are common, and depending on the type of monitoring service provided, annual savings can rise to 20%.

Check with your insurance agent today to find out about the specific discounts offered. We will provide you with information regarding your security system and our UL-listed 24-hour Central Monitoring Station.

Lastly, remember that when you purchase a security, fire or camera system, you are buying more than components. You are buying long-term value. Craftsmanship, service, warranty and dedication to the client are key considerations. Check to make sure your potential contractor has sufficient insurance, ask how the installers received their training and notice the vehicles being used. Also, it is extremely important to ask and personally check references and previous jobs. Go to a location and check out the work, is it name brand equipment installed in a professional manner?
