Purchasing an Alarm System Checklist
It is important for consumers to do their homework prior to purchasing an alarm system:
- Have you spoken with more than two different alarm companies?
- Are the installation company and monitoring U.L.C listed?
- Does the alarm company have a representative or contractor in the area?
- Do you know how and where the alarm system is monitored?
- Is there a five to ten-day testing period available during which you can practice using the system without the Fire Department being dispatched? Statistics show that there is a higher rate of false alarms during the first few days of installation.
- Will the alarm system be able to identify which area the signal is coming from? This allows our service to target the problem area.
