How To Choose The Right Miami Alarm Company

  • More Miami Florida residents are installing home security systems than ever before. This is primarily due to the rise in crime in MIami Dade County and surrounding areas. The awareness to protect property and life safety has dramatically risen in recent years and has caused an increase in local alarm companies. This increase leaves us to question if all Miami home alarm companies are the same. With that in mind the remainder of this article will focus on how to choose the right alarm company in Miami, Fl and tips to look for when choosing the right security system for you.

    State Licensed Contractor
    One of the most important things to consider when choosing an alarm company in Miami is whether or not the alarm company you intend to use is state licensed or certified to sell and install home security systems in Miami, Fl. Although this may sound like an insignificant question, it is actually a vital question to ask. For every alarm system installed in Miami Dade County, an electrical permit is required to perform the work. The consequence of not acquiring an electrical permit when installing an alarm system is receiving a civil violation and fine that could run into the hundreds of dollars. When asking if the alarm company you are considering is state certified make sure to ask who the actual state license belongs to. This is important because the state license holder needs to be the actual alarm company owner. Many alarm companies in Miami today do not have a state license and so hire a licensed electrician to qualify their company to perform alarm installations. This would seem like it is not a problem but in fact is a big problem because the owner of the alarm company while approved to install alarm systems in actuality is not qualified. This is a common practice in Miami, Fl and causes poor installations and service problems.

    Qualified Alarm Installers
    Another important thing to consider is who will be installing the actual alarm system in your home. This again seems like an insignificant question but is a very critical one. After all the person installing your home security system is entering into your home and will most likely enter every room in your home. Because of this fact it is important to make sure you know who will enter your home. Many Miami Fl alarm companies these days choose to use sub contractors to perform their installations. These sub contractors are independent of the company and are for the most part never back ground checked. These sub contractors get paid strictly per alarm installation and have no long term interest in you as a client. This translates to the alarm installer simply rushing thru your job to get to the next one because the quicker he finished the quicker he can move on to the next one. With alarm companies that have full time in house installers you get an installer that actually cares and is in no hurry to rush out of your job. These installers are usually employees that have worked with the same company for years and create a relationship with their customers. This is an important thing to consider because this is your home we are talking about and so it is very important to have the right person entering and installing your home security system.

    FREE Alarm Packages
    It seems like most alarm companies in Miami are offering some kind of FREE alarm system in one form or another. This seems like it is irrelevant but is actually some thing important to consider. The reason this is significant is because not all FREE alarm packages are the same. Most Miami alarm companies offer a FREE alarm package that comes with just 3 door sensors and 1 motions sensor. While this may be enough to properly protect a small apartment or even a small townhouse, it certainly is not enough to protect most single family homes. It is critical for you to shop around this FREE alarm system offer and see who will give you the best deal to fit your particular needs. Another thing to also consider from these alarm system packages is what other devices come with it. Items like motion sensors are important to consider when choosing one of these FREE alarm packages. At the minimum you should make sure the alarm package you are considering comes with two motion sensors. This will cover two general areas in your home and will be adequate for most single family homes.

    While there are many other things to consider when choosing the right alarm company in Miami, Fl, these are a few to primarily consider. The best approach to finding the right alarm company in Miami Dade is by asking as many questions as you can. never feel like you are overstepping the boundaries by asking too many questions because what is at stake is the security of your property and more importantly your loved ones. Ask specific questions about licensing, permits and installations. Make sure to get an accurate and specific account of what exactly the FREE security system package includes.
