Intruder Alarms

11

Intruder alarms are a basic need for anyone wanting to protect their property Pulse can provide and install domestic and commercial systems with phone alerts, including systems with pet immune sensors.

Continuous protection:

Home owners often forget that they can’t watch their homes around the clock. When you leave to go to work, or store, in 15 minutes, anything can happen! A home alarm system watches your home all the time.

Peace of mind

A home security system can provide you and your family with the feeling of security whether you are home or not. While you’re home you can feel safe knowing your home is safeguarded and while you’re away you can be assured that your alarm system will let you know if there is any problem at your home.

Lower Insurance:

If you own a home you may receive a discount from your home owner’s insurance company. Homes that have an alarm system are looked at as a lower liability than those without by your insurance company. Check with your company to see if they offer a discount..
