From KM:
With the recent rash of break-ins in my part of West Seattle, I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations for the best local alarm system installation and monitoring company to use? I don’t want to get one that’s expensive and find out they’re 1) crappy on response time and/or 2) monitoring, half asleep, in Montana (no offense to the Big Sky state.)
Please respond by posting a comment with your recommendation; thanks to everyone who helps with the RRRs, which are all archived here.
I bought a house here that already had Brinks installed. I contacted them and upgraded the system. I have had nothing but a good experiance with them since. I have however never had to use them for an emergency, knock on wood.
We’ve used ADT for five years, and have no complaints. Response time is excellent.
I researched this before we installed an alarm system a few months ago. The big companies (Brinks., ADT) seem to have a lower initial cost, but the monthly charges are higher. Also, their equipment is “locked”, so you can’t change companies without paying a fee.
We ended up going with a local company called Protective Systems. It was more up front, but the monthly costs are lower, and the service has been top-notch. No break-ins, so far to test them on, however.
Sorry, comment time is over.
