How much does a security system cost? |
|
As much as we would like to quote a
price over the phone, it is very difficult
because of differences in construction and
the size of the installation. Usually,
we need to see the extent of the work
involved and the equipment required to
protect your home or business in order to
determine an accurate price. |
|
|
How long have you been in business? |
|
We have been in the alarm business since
1989. ABC Security was founded in
1995. |
|
|
|
How long does it take to install a
security system? |
|
In most homes and businesses, we can
complete the installation in one day.
We show up in the morning, and your home or
business is secure by night. |
|
|
|
Are your systems wired or wireless? |
|
We try to install wired systems, but in
some cases it is impossible to get a corded
wire to a certain area. In this case,
we would use a wireless device. |
|
|
|
Will I see the wires? |
|
No. We pull the wires inside the
walls and either through the attic or crawl
space to the alarm panel. |
|
|
|
I am building a new home. Is it
better to pre-wire for an alarm or wait
until construction is finished to have an
alarm installed? |
|
It is always much better to have your
home (or business) pre-wired, because the
detection equipment can be more effectively
placed for operation and appearance. |
|
|
|
My alarm has a backup battery.
How often should it be replaced? |
|
The systems we install monitor the
condition of the battery. The keypad
will usually beep to alert the owner of a
low battery condition. Batteries
typically last 2 - 4 years. |
|
|
|
Who services my alarm when something
goes wrong? |
|
We do. We're a small company, and
you'll see the same people service your
alarm that performed the original
installation. |
