You’ve made the choice to purchase a home security system for your home, but where do you start in your process of who to choose? You’ve made one big decision, but the next could totally determine your experience with your home security and automation system.
Putting your trust into a company to protect your home is a big step and a hard thing to do, so it’s important to ask questions and be sure that the company you’re choosing has your best interest in mind and fits your specific needs.
With so many home security companies throughout the country these days, it’s hard to figure out where to start. But let’s start with this question: Is a local home security and automation company better than a national big-brand company?
Our answer… the local home security system company will always give you a better experience! Here’s why:
REASONS TO CHOOSE A LOCAL COMPANY FOR HOME SECURITY
1. We Install the System Ourselves!
When you purchase a home security system and package from an online nationwide big-brand home security company there is often zero in-person interaction from the salesperson, but they also do not install the system themselves. Oftentimes these companies will hire someone else to come to install the system in your home, completely separate from the person you ordered your system from and spoke to on the phone. They will not know the specifics of your order or many of the things you spoke with the representative about on the phone.
With a local company like SmartHome Solutions, we install our home security systems ourselves! The person installing your home security system is able to customize it based on your specific needs, and what you spoke with them about, and will know exactly who you are as they maintain your system over time. You will never feel like just another customer when you choose a local home security company.
2. It Makes the Decision Process Easier
One of the greatest things about choosing a local company for your home security and automation system is that we will come to your home to show you all the possibilities for you to choose from when picking a security system. If you choose an online big brand, they will give you security packages without any kind of personalization. At SmartHome Solutions, we will visit your home and plan out your home security. We will advise you on the best placement of glass-breaking sensors, cameras, motion detectors, and automated lighting. Every home is different and we customize your home security to fit what is right for you, not just every other home.
3. Convenient Support
If you’ve contacted a nationwide big-brand home security company before, you know just how difficult and aggravating their process is to talk with a representative. Oftentimes you are stuck talking to an automated voice or waiting for hours. With SmartHome Solutions, you’ll know that any time you need to contact us we’re just one phone call away. No robots, but real people are ready to take your call!
Local home security systems have a lesser volume of callers to sort through and speak with, making it so much easier to contact us about any problems, questions, or concerns.
4. Much Faster Service
One of the biggest problems with big-brand security systems is the wait time associated with getting a piece of equipment fixed or installed. For them to send out a technician, it can take days or weeks before your equipment is fixed.
With a local home security company, we are able to send out a technician for repairs almost immediately. There is not nearly the wait time of a big-brand system, and when it comes to protecting your home there is no time to wait. We know you can’t afford to have your home and your valuables unprotected!
5. CHOOSING LOCAL OVER BIG BRAND
When choosing a home security system company, the biggest thing to remember is that this system will keep you, your family, and your valuables safe. When picking the company for your home’s system, you’re much better off choosing the local company that will be there for you when you truly need it. Local companies use the same 24/7 monitoring and emergency services as the big brands, and yet still offer more personalization, better support, and treat you like one of their own.
