7 Myths About Burglar and Fire Alarm Systems
There are a lot of misconceptions running rampant about burglar and fire alarm systems. In this article, we’ll dispell seven common myths about protecting your home, business, or family with an automatic electronic alarm system.
Myth #1 – My home is insured, so I’m already covered.
Insurance doesn’t prevent the loss. A security or fire alarm system will protect your home and valuables.
Myth #2 – I don’t need a fire alarm system because I have battery operated smoke detectors.
Any smoke detector will wake you in the event of fire. System smoke detectors also call the fire dept, even if you’re not home, to help save your home and property.
Myth #3 – My home won’t be burglarized because there’s always someone home.
A monitored security system will alert the police of a break-in, provide your family with an easy to activate panic alarm, and deter thieves, avoiding a potentially dangerous confrontation.
Myth #4 – Frequent false alarms make alarm systems more trouble than they’re worth.
A security system installed and maintained by licensed professionals should only go off when it is supposed to. Overall, Maverick Security’s subscribers have very few false alarms.
Myth #5 – A security system will ruin the look of my home with unsightly wires and devices.
Although it is sometimes difficult to conceal all the wiring, Maverick Security’s installers have been trained to minimize exposed wire, and to install devices as unobtrusively as possible.
Myth #6 – I can’t afford an alarm system in my home.
Maverick can satisfy your security needs within your budget. Also, your system can always be expanded in the future as your needs change. Your system can be monitored for less than the cost of cable TV.
Myth #7 – Security systems are so complicated and difficult to operate, my family will never be able to use one.
Personalized, easy-to-remember codes make the system easy to use; simple commands make calling the police, fire dept or ambulance easier than using the phone. Maverick ’s installer will make sure that everyone in your home knows how to operate your new security system.
