If you’re in the market for Long Island home security systems, you already know that all systems are not created equal. Choosing a method to best protect your home, family and possessions is not a decision to make lightly. As you compare Long Island home security systems here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind:
1) License: Make sure the company you’re considering is fully licensed to offer the products and services they’re promoting (proof of license can usually be verified through the Department of State).
2) Contact the Better Business Bureau: Do your research to see if the company has had complaints filed against them.
3) Document: Have inspection results, quotations and all other sensitive information preserved for you in writing. This guarantees a paper trail to compare quotes and, if necessary, file complaints or prove discrepancies.
4) Check the availability of the company’s tech support: Once you’ve chosen a system continue to ask questions. If there is a problem with your system will it be promptly and thoroughly attended too? Ask questions about company policy for repairs, trouble-shooting and maintenance for your alarm system.
5) Choose a system with an easily accessible control panel: Make sure the signal from your wireless control panel is strong enough to protect the entire area and is easily operated by everyone who should have access to it.
6) Warranty: Make sure the company of your choice offers a warranty package; thoroughly examine the details of the warranty to ensure it’s the best fit for you. As a bonus, some companies offer a free relocation package as part of the warranty – ask about all perks and restrictions that accompany your contract with the home security company.
