Alarms & Security
Choose only a company that doesn't require a contract to monitor your alarm. If you feel you have to sign a contract, never sign one for more than one year, and make sure it doesn't have a "rollover" clause that renews that contract automatically.
Don't pay more than $15 to $20 a month for monitoring.
To shop, start calling companies at the end of the yellow page listings, instead of front, because the big expensive companies usually are the first listed.
To figure the cost of equipment, make a drawing of your home, or a checklist, and figure out how many doors and windows you need to protect.
Don't lease a burglar alarm system.
Always get smoke and fire monitoring as part of the system.
