Top 5 Home Security company Picks in Utah a bit misleading
Top 5 Home Security company Picks in Utah is a bit misleading in my opinion.
The ratings are done by a company that you can pay for and they show up in the top portions of the search engines and they do exactly what they say they will do, they get you to the top of the list and appartently it does not matter how many complaints your company has had filed against it or how many current law suits are being filed against your company you can still pay for and get to the top of the search engine.
Now lets look at the results and look up the Better Business Bureau rating on each of the 5 companies and see how the match up to other security companies in Utah
One of the supposedly top 5 Home security companies in Utah has a score of F with the Better Business Bureau www.BBB.org
Another of the listed and reviewed TOP five companies has a score of D-
One of the companies listed has had over 4699 complaints filed in the last 3 years and another one of the top five has over 3200 complaints filed. How do you suppose the ratings were done if not from customer reviews? Looking at the issues filed there are many issues with sales, advertising and equipment problems
Now when we look at two of the largest Utah companies who have been in business for many years what did we find?

Mountain Alarm has an A+ rating with the BBB and only one complaint filed in the last 3 years. www.mountainalarm.com
Peak Alarm also has an A+ rating www.PeakAlarm.com and has only had 4 complaints filed in the last 3 years with no complaints filed in the last year. Peak Alarm has been in business for over 45 years and they are licensed and insured and Interestingly enough neither of these high rated successful companies made it to the TOP 5 HOME SECURITY UTAH PICKS.
When you need pricing for security, fire alarm, access control or cameras check the BBB.org site before you buy and make sure you don't fall into the trap of picking one of the top 5 companies that may or may not really be in the top five companies. The company that reviews does say it is their top 5 picks so do some more research and come up with the real top five alarm companies in Utah that meet the following criteria.
1. Check the Better Business Bureau. Valid complaints that are presented to the BBB are submitted and researched.
2. Check DOPL Utah Division of Professional Licencing
3. Check online reviews - All large companies will have some negative comments posted and some of the negative comments are done by the same people.
4. How many years has the company been in business?
5. Does the company have their own UL listed Central Station for monitoring or do they sell their accounts to other companies?
6. Does the company have a Security Patrol or Guard Patrol Division (Especially useful where the police have a non-response policy)
7. Does the company have experience with commercial and residential or mostly residential?
8. Does the company have certified NICET technicians and certified techs through the State fire Marshal's office?

Once you have the answers to these questions you have done your research and you can now decide which three bids you want to get rather than wasting time on companies that have thousands of complaints and companies that are currently being sued in several states.
