Purchasing A Home Security System In The GTA?

We get it. Convenience helps when it comes to juggling careers, homes and all kinds of other distractions. It’s why so many homeowners in the GTA are happy to get quotes over the phone when they think about purchasing a home security system. We believe this isn’t the most sensible thing to do though, for a number of reasons.

Ask yourself a few questions

Getting an over-the-phone quote may be quicker and more convenient, of course, but you need to evaluate whether it is accurate or adequate. An accurate quote takes into account everything you need security for in the GTA, as well as what kind of home security system you can have. Here are a couple of questions you need to ask yourself, answers to which can effectively lead to a more accurate quote.

1. How finished is your house? This is important when it comes to hiding wiring because a professionally installed home security system does not reveal any wires. An on-site quote will allow you to determine the most efficient and cost-effective way of installing a neat security system.

2. What do you need security for? Is this just to detect burglary, or to cover floods, fires and changes in temperature? An on-site quote can make sure the security cover is adequate for your specific needs.

3. Do you have children or pets? This affects how and when you use the home security system, and whether pets wandering around your home need to be taken into consideration. A quote over the phone may not take these things into account.

4. What sort of home security system would you like? Do you want it to send signals by phone or wireless? Do you want to avoid using a landline? Do you want something easy to use or with bells and whistles depending on how technology-savvy you are? An on-site quote will consider all of these responses.

Purchasing a home security system in the GTA is about making an informed decision because it is an important one. If you have a better understanding of your needs, you can get professionals to help you figure out what works best for you.
