Red Flags When Hiring a Security System Installer

By: Fifteen Alarms January 11, 2022

When dealing with home security installation, you want to trust the installers that you are working with. After all, they’re the ones ensuring that you, your family, and your property are as safe as possible. Unfortunately, some people’s intentions are not so pure. Here are a few warning signs that the installer you’re working with might not be your best choice.

Obviously, when someone is analyzing your home security needs, they’re going to need to see your home in order to figure out your specific needs. With that said, be cautious of installers that ask for their own keys or that want to have access to your home when you are out of the house.

One of the basics when it comes to a reliable and professional security installation situation is communication. Your installation plan should be laid out clearly, with a definitive plan so that you know what is happening in your home. Anything less than clear communication is suspect.

When dealing with any sort of professional, you’re going to want to have your agreement in writing. If your installer is reluctant to sign any paperwork or didn’t bring it up in the first place, this might be a cause for concern and a definite security red flag.
