Security and Alarm FAQs

1. How much does a basic security system cost?
   Systems start at $ 499.00 purchased and installed. Don’t be fooled by others who offer low cost or “FREE” alarm systems. Those systems typically have very limited features, are leased proprietary equipment, and/or are installed by a “dealer” who runs your personal credit and immediately sells the contract to a 3rd party.
   
   
2. Does Emergency Network sell alarm and security systems or lease them?
   Emergency Network generally sells equipment outright. We do offer other creative financing solutions if needed. You will never be “surprised” by a hidden lease term in the contract.
   
   
3. What kind of monitoring services are available?
   All Emergency Network customers have access to their account through encrypted web base services. Some upgrades are radio or internet secure line signal transmission, arm & disarm reporting, GPS tracking or many other progressive options.
   
   
4. How long does an installation take? A basic system usually takes a full day to install. Our installers are paid by the hour.. Not the job. We allow time for thorough testing, training and a clean installation. Some companies pay sub–contractors a flat rate to install systems, encouraging quick installs.
   
   
5. Does the installer clean up?
   Yes! We often receive compliments on our neat and clean installations.
   
   
6. Will my homeowner’s insurance premium go down with a security system?
   Your insurance provider will be able to tell you if you are eligible for a discount on your homeowner’s insurance. However, it has been our experience that homeowners receive up to a 20% discount for a monitored security system.
   
   
7. Do you install alarms for homes or businesses?
   Both. Emergency Network employees have installed thousands of systems for residential and commercial customers. We are experts from installing  basic systems to very sophisticated, integrated systems.

     8.   Can Emergency Network monitor my existing equipment? 

           Emergency Network installers have a wide range of experience

           programming just about every system brand in existance!  If we can't

           program it, we will make every effort to replace the equipment at a very

           affordable price.  However, we recommend reviewing any contract

           that may be in affect with your current provider.
