New Homeowners Choose a Monitored Security System

Why do New Homeowners Choose a Monitored Security System?

As an authorized Honeywell security dealer American Total Protection installs lots and lots of alarm systems per month between our New England and Florida locations . Although our new customers call in for a variety of reasons, there are often common themes of why new homeowners choose to purchase a monitored home security system .

Welcoming a Child
With a new family member comes a new responsibility. Many times, first time parents develop a heightened sense of awareness and want to be proactive about protecting their home. More often than not, new parents choose to not only add security devices , but smoke detectors as well. Parents with young children are also more likely to add contacts to second floor windows. Of course, when the alarm is set, these windows will trigger an alarm if open. If the alarm system is not set, we can make these windows chime in the event that a child chooses to open his or her window after a nap.

Having a child is a very exciting time and American Total Protection is here to help protect you and your new family member.

New Home Purchase in a New Area
Just moved from the West coast to Connecticut or Florida? Not familiar with the area? Often times, new homeowners type into Google “ Best Security Company EVER ” and contact ATP Alarms to better understand area crime trends and how to protect his or her new investment. When living in a new environment, it is very common for homeowners to feel nervous. Purchasing a monitored security alarm from ATP Alarms gives an added sense of security when going to be in an unfamiliar neighborhood.

American Total Protection often walks properties prior to the deal actually being finalized. This way, a homeowner can schedule a custom installation for the day they move in. Call ATP today for a free assessment of your new home and new neighborhood.

Insurance Discount or Insurance Requirements
Having a monitored alarm system may lower your insurance premium . In fact, some customers have purchased a monitored alarm to lower monthly insurance premiums so they can get approved for a mortgage (fixed monthly expenses like an insurance premium are part of the formula when looking mortgage rates and mortgage approvals). Some insurance underwriters mandate that homes have a monitored alarm with security and fire. For example, Chubb Insurance and Fireman’s Fund mandate that homes appraised over a certain amount must have an alarm system in order to have an insurance policy.
