Residential alarm
If you have ever thought about getting a residential alarm, but are
unsure, here are some reasons why you might want to consider it:
• The equipment is “free” – This comes with
a caveat. Regardless of what the salesman or the telemarketer tells
you, the fact is that you have not won a “free” system.
What is true is that you do not pay for the equipment if you decide
to sign a three-year agreement with a monitoring company. These agreements
are usually somewhere around $30-$35 per month. Still, it is not a bad
deal if you want a monitored system because you are getting hundreds
of dollars of equipment for no charge.
• Your house can be protected – If you want protection
for your home, you might want to seriously consider a system like this.
Many people who own summer homes or weekend cabins have a residential
alarm. They are nice because you set the number for the monitoring company
to call if the alarm goes off. This means that if the alarm goes off
in your summer home, you can still get a call on your cell phone, regardless
of where you are at the time.
