[C990]Consumer Report Home Security

by Michelle Bery, Mic

Protecting the safety of your home can sometimes feel like an overwhelming responsibility. In today's chaotic world, it's difficult to know where to turn when it comes to properly securing our family within the four walls of our homes. But, there are plenty of home security tips – beyond computerized home security systems - that will allow you to make your world safe in a comprehensive and detailed way.

The first of the home security tips is to be sure to securely close and lock all windows and doors while you are out of the home. Invest in a deadbolt lock for front and back doors. When it comes to sliding doors, in addition to the lock, always use a block of wood – or other sturdy, solid material - to hinder the sliding mechanism. Additionally, take measures to secure your home while you are sleeping at night. Burglary invasions while the owners are at home are not as uncommon as you think. The doors and windows of your home are your first line of defense when it comes to invaders. Look at them with a critical eye and spare no expense to make them as impassable as you can.

Another of the more common home security tips is lighting. Adding as much lighting to the exterior of your home will make it a less likely target for invasion. Obviously, the darker the home the more appealing it is to someone who is trying to hide. Install landscaping lights, garage lights, and motion detector lights that will activate if there is any activity in the area.

Additional home security tips include the minimizing of trees and shrubbery close to the home that can conceal intruders. Or bringing a dog into your home can be a useful home security tip – as well as providing your family with a loving companion.

Research those areas of your home that are most at risk for burglary. Light dark areas; fortify windows and doors; and remove those things that may provide cover for someone trying to enter your home. Additionally, keep emergency numbers close by and a portable phone on each level of your home.

For more ideas on home security tips, go online to research other ideas. You'll likely find that there are many resources that can help you better secure your home.

Whether you are looking to have a new home security system installed or you are dissatisfied with your current alarm monitoring service and looking for something different, you'll find that there are a number of options available to you. However, when you choose a home security system, you don't want to settle for high prices without having the service to match.

Instead, you want to find a home security company that's different – a company that will give you the service that you need at a price that you can afford. And, when you are looking for a home security company that is different, you owe it to yourself to discover the Guardian difference.

If you are looking to have a home security system installed for the first time, the Guardian difference is simple. When you place a call to Guardian, you will not be asked to invite a salesperson into your home. When you place a call to Guardian, the sales representative you speak with will ask you about your needs and will help you to meet those needs.

Unlike other home security alarm companies, Guardian's customer service representatives do not work based on commission. Therefore, you will not find yourself pressured into buying more than you want or need to keep your home safe. Instead, you will find that the questions that you have will be answered, and that the answers you receive will not just bring up more questions.

Instead, the Guardian difference means that you will know what you will receive and what you can expect from the Guardian monitoring service. Similarly, the Guardian difference also means that you can be sure that you are getting the best price on the home security equipment and monitoring services that you select.

But Guardian home security monitoring is not just for customers who are new to having home alarm systems: the Guardian difference is also available to those who are tired of paying too much for the home security monitoring services that they are currently using.

Just as it is easy for those who are looking for a new home security system to call Guardian to get the system that they need, it is simple for those who already have home alarm systems to switch to Guardian for system monitoring. Simply call Guardian with the questions that you have.

Guardian's customer service representatives will treat you like a customer even before you are one. They will answer the questions that you have, and - in the course of a short phone conversation - take care of switching your home security system monitoring.

That's one more component of the Guardian difference: one easy phone call is enough to meet your needs.

Whether you are looking for a new home security system or you are looking to make a change to the home security monitoring that you currently have, the Guardian difference is clear: one phone call is all it takes.

Establishing a relationship with Guardian begins with a simple phone call. That phone call gives you access to a home security system with a great price, great customer service and a well-recognized monitoring service. Discover the Guardian difference for yourself.
