Many insurance companies now have specific requirements for certain equipment to be added to your security systems and when you comply with these items you get discounted insurance rates. Contact your insurance company to verify what their requirements are and we can help you get the system installed.

In certain areas such as Park City your insurance company may require these items to continue your insurance coverage. Some of the items are only recommendations

1. Have a Fire Alarm system with installed system smoke detectors that is monitored by a UL Listed Central Station monitoring company.

2. Have a burglar alarm system that also sends signals to a UL Listed Central Station.

3. It is recommended that you install low temperature sensors in each heating zone of your home. If your home drops below 45 degrees F the system will alert you before the pipes freeze at 32 degrees.

4. It is recommended that your fire sprinkler system flow switch be monitored so when water begins to flow because of a fire the system will notify the fire department.
