Reduce your homeowner insurance up to 20% by having a monitored alarm.   Welcome Summer! Let the Sunshine In! As Summer begins, you may want to consider investing in security screens.  Security screens are a tamper proof window screen which can activate your alarm if the screen is removed or cut.  This allows you to have your window wide open for fresh air while still maintaining complete security on the window opening.  Call 1-888-595-6003 or email today for more information! We welcome your referrals. Thank you for being our customer!   Crime During the Summer Statistically burglaries also increase significantly during the summer months. With this said it is important to make sure your call list is up to date and you have tested your alarm to ensure communication. Also, arm your system even if you go away for a few minutes. If your alarm is not armed it cannot communicate a signal if someone attempts to break in. Taking a few extra steps can prevent a future break-in. It Pays to Have a Monitored Burglar Alarm Did you know that it is well documented fact that security systems monitored by a qualified central station reduce crime. A study conducted by Temple University found that homes without a monitored security system are 2.7 to 3.5 times more likely to be burglarized. Homes without monitoring also suffer higher losses of break-ins. In addition, home owner insurance is usually reduced by up to 20% when having a monitored alarm. Your Alarm and Permit Requirements Every city and county has it's own ordinance. Your local Police Department or County Sheriff may require you to register your alarm system. Give them a call or check their web site for the necessary forms. Some police departments charge an annual fee. You will be billed for too many false alarms, and there are significant fees for operating an alarm system without a permit. The age of your alarm system doesn't matter. Make sure to register your alarm system and avoid a hassle. You can also visit our web site for more information on permit requirements: http://absalarmco.com/alarm-permits.html  Interactive Security  Control your alarm remotely with your mobile phone app!

There are many reasons why bundling isn't good. For one, companies tend to want to sell bundling to customers so you'll be reluctant to switch because you have all your services looped together, even if you're unhappy with the company. In addition, these companies do not specialize in alarms so they cannot offer solid technical support, product diversity, as well as reliability to your alarm. Security is an important thing, and bundling it with a one stop shop that doesn't specialize in security is something to truly be cautious about. For more information or questions feel free to contact our service department at 1-888-595-6003. Changing Your Telephone Service Provider? In most cases, your alarm system is designed to work with your telephone line. It's connected in a special way to transmit alarm signals without interference using your main phone line. If this connection is disturbed, alarm signals may not be reported to the central station. Alarm systems may not work or may not be as reliable with some VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) cable telephone service providers Before making any changes to your phone system it's important to let your telephone provider know that you have a monitored alarm, and call us so we can confirm if it's a reliable source for communication. Test the alarm before your phone tech leaves to ensure your alarm is communicating with our central station. Another option - keep your traditional landline phone but reduce your service to receiving calls only. This can significantly reduce your phone bill and you can be assured that your alarm will continue to communicate. If you have any questions, call our service department at 1-888-595-6003.
