The majority of homes that I have been in lately seem to have some sort of alarm system installed. I have seen a lot of adt alarm systems recently and thought that I would check into what adt has to offer for my home since there is a burglary happening every 8 seconds and I don’t want to become on of the statistics. Most break ins happen between the hours of 10pm and 3am, which is when we are all tucked away in our beds at night. It is creepy to think that someone could be entering your house while you are sleeping, God only knows what could occur at that point.
So this morning I called the toll free number, 1-866-442-5805, that I found on the Internet, and asked them about what deals for their adt home systems that I would be eligible for. I spoke with a customer representative, her name was Sarah, she was very friendly and it only took a few minutes of my time to get the details of what all I would receive with adt based on my zip code. She also needed to know how many doors the house had and the square footage and if we had any pets, along with a few other quick questions so that she could provide me with the best alarm protection package for our needs.
So for $39.99 a month, with a $99 installation fee I would receive a free key chain remote, a master control with a 12 back up system, 3 door contacts, a yard sign along with window decals as well as a pet sensitive system, which I thought was pretty cool. A $100 Visa gift card would also come my way, which would basically cover the installation fee. I understand that some alarm companies have you sign a five year contract, but adt offers a three year contract, which would be a better deal for us.
I also found an interesting web site of the Federal Bureau of Investigation that has a lot of good information about crimes that can be found at http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm that I think would be of interest and would like to pass along here for those of you interested. Times are hard and more people are turning to crime in an effort to get money, sad but true.
