Home security system services in Waterloo, IA

It starts by analyzing your home

Home security systems are as unique as the homes they protect, which means that any installation service needs to examine your home very closely. Specifically, the technician checks for several things:

• The number of entries to the home, particularly on the ground floor. This includes windows as well as doors, both of which will need to be wired into the security system.
• The presence of large central spaces such as living rooms, where an intruder may need to pass to get to other parts of the home.
• The presence of "choke points" such as hallways or stairs, where, similarly, an intruder would need to pass.

With these kinds of details in hand, the electrician can then discuss the specifics of things like motion detectors and window alarms, ensuring that your Waterloo, IA home is completely covered.

We handle installation and repair

The whole point of a home security system is to alert you to danger when you least suspect it. That can include times when you’re away from the home as well as times when you are asleep or more vulnerable family members (such as teens or the elderly) are home alone. The system needs to function as intended when you need it to.

That starts with proper installation, ensuring that all of the components are working as they should and that the key spot in the home outlined above are covered. It continues through routine maintenance and timely repairs, ensuring that worn components are replaced and new ones are checked to ensure they’re doing their job.

Don’t forget outdoor lighting

A good security system should ideally include outdoor lighting, designed to turn on automatically with the presence of an intruder. It can be designed to work in conjunction with the rest of your security systems, as well as providing more benign services like turning on when you arrive home at night.
