I am about to buy a house and I am going to install (well have one installed) a home alarm system. What company is the best service and best price? I know about ADT and Brinks maybe the best but I was trying to see what everyone else is paying for their alarm.
Definitely Guardian Protection. The install and monthly payment are reasonable and they are a reputable company. I have had it in both my homes. I have set off my alarm and they call immediately to find out if everything is ok. Call them and they’ll come out and give a free estimate. Whatever you do please don’t go with a no-name company.
The next question to ask yourself is where you want to place motion detectors and what windows you want to arm so that you have the most movement around the house when the alarm is on to full capacity. Remember an alarm system is very important when you leave the house, but VERY important while your sleeping. The last thing you want is life is to wake up with a burglar standing over you. It’s never happened to me and I certainly don’t want it to happen to anyone. Good luck.
I see a lot of good things about brinks–and honestly, If we were going to get one–that is who we would go with
ADT offers a lot of stuff-but you will find that those ‘deals’ expire after about 3 months–and you end up paying more.
In the long run-brinks offers more–at a cheaper rate per day/month. Brinks may charge more up front though.
I dont know where you live–you may have a local company near you that provides the same exact service for less.
I don’t recommend a big company like ADT or Brinks, they tend to have snakes as salesmen, hacks as installers who are given incentives to rush every install, and they will lock you in to expensive monitoring contracts while waving a teaser low very basic installation price in your face. EVERY big company does this. I would strongly recommend a smaller local company who is more likely to take pride in their workmanship and you can expect to deal with the same technicians over the years.
