Home Security Systems Used For More Than Security

You’re walking down a busy street in New York City and you stop ten people to ask them what they thought security systems are used for. My guess is that if none of those people worked for ATP Alarms , then all ten would answer with something along the lines of “ to alert the police ” or “ prevent burglaries ”. While home security systems are definitely made to prevent home invasions in the year 2016, there are so many other unique reasons to have a Honeywell system in your home.

Do you enjoy a nice bottle of wine from time to time? I know I love having a nice bottle(s) (don’t judge) at the end of a tiring work week. If you’re like me sometimes you will spend an extra couple of pennies to get a few more expensive bottles and put them away for a rainy day. With that being said, we were all teenagers at one point and snuck some of that alcohol that our parents stored away for their own pleasure. Well, what if I told you that you now had the ability to see which closet, cabinet, or safe door was opened in your home . Would that be something that interests you? Thru the smart phone application, you can actually see when certain doors or safes are opened or closed. Say you’re out for the night or away for the weekend, with this application you can actually see if you’re teenagers opened or closed a liquor cabinet, a gun safe, or any other specific drawer or cabinet that you would want alarmed.

If you can’t relate to the scenario above, are you interested in preventing serious damage to your home? Most people think security systems are strictly for burglaries and fire. A lot of customers in New England are unaware of is the ability to add low temperature detectors to their system. Although this winter has been nowhere near as cold as it usually is here, low temperatures have the ability to alert you to let you know when the temperature of your home gets to a specific degree. Wouldn’t you want to be alerted when your house was freezing cold and your pipes were going to burst? Well, for a couple extra dollars on installation you can have this sensor added to your system. By adding this sensor you will no longer have the anxiety over whether your pipes are going to burst or not. Did I mention it also saves you money on your home owners insurance ? So, the next time you speak to an ATP consultant be sure to ask, what I can add to my system to better myself, your home, and your loved ones. You don’t have to wait, call ATP today. This is real life ; you need a real security company . A TP Alarms is American Total Protection .
