Aronson Alarm facts that distinguish us from our competition:
Instant Alarm Signals
There should be no transmission delays on your security system. Whether it is intrusion, smoke, heat, or any other trouble signal, your system should instantly send a signal to the monitoring station. (Some companies delay alarm signals for up to 4 minutes because their systems are prone to false alarms.)
Hard-Wired Systems with Industry Standard Splices
Is your cell phone as reliable and clear as your hard-wired home phone? Security systems are no different. Best-in-class systems are hard-wired, with industry standard splices and multiple zones. This design minimizes the risk of technical faults and false alarms.
Central Station Facts
Your alarm system should be monitored by a Certified Central Station. It should be staffed by experienced operators who will respond to your alarm signals in a timely manner.
Periodic Wellness Inspection
Peace of mind rests on the ability of your security system to work flawlessly at all times. To do so, smoke detectors need periodic cleaning, back-up batteries need to be replaced periodically, and system elements inspected for wear. Your security company should offer periodic wellness visits to catch problems before they lead to system trouble.
Warranty
A company should stand behind every system they install with a warranty on all parts, labor and installation.
Prompt Service
The best security is close to home. Your security company should have qualified staff available by phone 24-7, 365 days a year. If you require on-site service, your provider should have a technician at your home or business in a timely fashion.
References in Your Area
A security company should be proud of their reputation. They should gladly offer you references in your area. You should call those references and ask questions about their experiences with the security company. References will be provided with customer permission due to privacy issues.
No False Alarm Fines
Many false alarms are linked to poor system design and/or installation. A best-in-class company will be confident of its systems, support and monitoring, and will pay any false alarm fines caused by equipment or workmanship problems during the entire warranty period.
Own Your System, Don't Lease It
Ask who will own your system. It should be you, not the security company. That way, you are not locked in to one company's technology. If you become dissatisfied with the company that installed the system, you can switch to a better security provider without penalty.
