| Can anyone help me out. I got a 950 dollar quote for a alarm installed by ADT and the house were building is already prewired so there is like no work for them todo. Why so much? Is there any cheaper companys out there? Anyone do this for a living in AZ? Thanks. |

Before commencing a home alarm endeavor, get out a piece of paper and write down exactly what you want the system to do, and just as important what not to do. … They can be aggravating at times, oversensitive in some aspect under in others, “off the shelf” alarm systems have their limitations. … Although the average $35 per month monitoring fee isn’t going to break you, it kind of falls into that insurance expense category, one that many of us despise paying. I’d strongly recommend doing your research. You will find alternatives to monthly monitoring payments (of which builds no equity in your system) that yield even better performance you would expect (see my first sentence). … Some decent, basic information here: http://doityourself.com/homesec/installinghomealarm.htm |

We have Foresite. They are a sub contractor for the company I work for. If you live in the valley I could see if they could give you a deal. We had our house done by the. It had to be wireless. It was 30.00 a month for the first year. Then it dropped to 19.00 a month. I didn't pay hardly anything for the hard ware. it was made up in the 10 extra for the month, I guess. I had to get a new keypad, so I renewed my contract, free key pad. IM me. Mike |
