Choosing Your Security Company Posted on February 1, 2018 by

Local Business

At Security Alarm we know how vital your family’s safety and security is. That’s why it’s important to do your homework when making your choice. Our homes are more than just a roof over our heads – we make memories in them, we raise our families in them, we share many of the joys in our lives between those four walls. That’s why we know how important it is to choose a security company you can trust.

Are you deciding between home security companies?

Here are some important things to ask yourself and them:

What’s their bread and butter?

That deal from the cable company sounds great. Not only can you get cable, but they can also provide home security. At first, this might sound like an attractive option, chances are you already have an existing relationship with the company and the idea of one “bundled” monthly bill sounds incredibly convenient. Like security companies, these companies already have a specialty, but it’s not home security.  You didn’t choose your cable or satellite provider to install your dishwasher or fix your plumbing. You called the expert in their field. Security is our Bread and Butter; it’s what we do and it’s all that we do. Call us to ensure you have a security system expert help you determine the right system for you and your family.

Are there sneaky extra costs?

Some security companies claim they offer free equipment, but that offer only covers the bare minimum and rarely takes the unique needs of your home into account. What initially seems like a great deal, can end up costing you more money in the long run. Our cost may look like more upfront, but we guarantee you there are no sneaky extra costs snuck in there. We don’t believe in those hidden fees.

Do they believe in “one size fits all” security?

Just like our families, each home is unique. You deserve a security system that fits your needs – not the other way around. Choose a security company that is willing to tailor your system to the specific security needs of your home. We don’t believe in one size fits all security systems. We believe in custom security made just for you.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I have been dealing with Lowitt Alarms Security Alarms since 1997, I an very satisfied with there service, I had a problem 4/5/24, I could not shut off the alarm, after calling Lowitt and following directions I was not able to shut off the alarm, I was told that the next appointment for repair would be tomorrow, I explained the we are seniors and please see what you can do, Linda, was able to made some adjustments and a repair person came to our home at 4Pm and put a new battery and radio, I highly recommend Lowitt Alarms to any one who is shopping for a Security System
The entire experience was great. Meeting with salesperson Ryan C. who didn’t try to sell us things we didn’t need. The installation crew who cleaned up as they went along and answerd all the questions about operating the system. Top notch all around.

The technicians (Curtis and Jeff) arrived as scheduled, had the installation diagrams as discussed with Larry during the sales presentation and immediately began working on the planned installation. These gents came prepared with proper tooling, equipment and most impressive was a strong desire to satisfy the customer. The install was timely, they ensured their quality of work was satisfactory and cleaned up their work areas after the system functionality was verified. Great technicians!

I called Security Alarm to check on cameras for outside since we had used them in our Ag business for years. The process to get lined up was simple and Larry was very thorough in explaining everything. They were out in just a few days to install them. Both guys were very friendly and professional. It didn't take long to install and I know they probably had wiring issues to deal with. They did a great job and the cameras show exactly where I wanted them. I am very pleased with the service and products installed.Thanks!
