Whether you have just purchased a new home or have been living in the same home for years, home security should always be a priority. Cypress Homes knows the importance of keeping your family and possessions safe.  Protecting you and your family from carbon monoxide, burglary, fire, and floods can not only save your life but also your wallet. The question is what security system should you use and how much will it cost?

One of the most popular security systems to look into would be ADT. One advantage of ADT is its 24 hour alarm monitoring. When an alarm signal is received from your home or business, an ADT professional is there to contact you and the police, fire department or emergency personnel right away. One of the best features is the remote arm and disarms system. You can arm/disa rm your system quickly from your web-enabled cell phone, computer or other mobile device. Imagine that you’re across the country on vacation and all you have to do is pull out your phone to make sure your new home is safe! Water can be deadly to any home; ADT gives you alerts of water leaks early to avoid potential severe water damage and with waterproofing basement walls you can have the ultimate experience.  Another cool feature is the interactive touchscreen. You can adjust lighting and thermostat; check instant weather, traffic and news reports all in one place.

The initial installment of all of this is just $99. The monthly fee is $40.99. This two way voice package includes the following:

• Combination of 3 Door or Window Sensors + 1 Motion Sensor
• 1 Key Fob Included
• 2 Way Voice Included
• 1 ADT Yard Sign – Window Decal
• Phone Land line or approved data / internet connection

If you already have an alarm system it is always wise to look into an upgrade. Your current alarm system may not be as effective as it once was. Would you go 10 years without getting your car tuned up? Would you wait five years to go to the doctor for a checkup? Statistics show that single-family homes are the most likely target for burglars. Can your current alarm system stand up to a break-in? Upgrading your alarm system can put the odds in your favor by reducing the chances of a criminal getting into your home.

Taking extra precaution to protect your home is a wise investment.  It can offer you peace of mind while you are home and away.  There are many other home security options out there and each one has its own list of pros and cons.  It is in your best interest to research several options and figure out the one that best fits your lifestyle.
