Alarm System

Did anyone have one installed? If so, how much was it? Is there a monthly fee?

I did. I got a fairly good price because I am in the industry - but truth be told its really not something I would skimp on.

There is a monthly fee to be hooked up to the central station monitoring.

People are telling me that you can get them installed free. But I wasn't sure if this was true or not

You can get it installed free - but it is very basic. THe company makes the money on the monitoring since you will have to sign a long term contract with them for that in order to get the free alarm.

You can have the basic system installed for free. This includes the doors and a monitoring system inside. What it doesn't include is all the windows. You don't NEED this, but you may WANT it. We had someone come out and give us a free consultation.

There is a monthly cost to connect to the central monitoring system. Plus it is extra if you want the connect the emergency police and fire buttons.

Any recomendations on which company to use? The house we will be moving into has Slomins. I was wondering if we should keep them.

That was why I was curious. They don't tell you want you are getting until the show. But I have my guesses.

No. They would give it to us for free. I am only asking because if we don't get an alarm we are going to get one anyway.

I have ADT. We got free installation, but I paid a little bit for the wireless setup, the extra smoke detectors and the Radon detector. I think the monitoring is $28.00 a month.
