Security Systems: No long term contract $19.99 monitoring
What some Alarm Companies don't tell you
"Free Security System"
Is it free if you pay $360.00 or as much as $1,799.00 dollars more in monthly payments? There are people right here in Oklahoma City paying over $47.99 a month to get a free security system. That's $908.00 more on a 3 year contract and $1,799.00 more on a 5 year contract, than if you stayed with U.S. Security for the same amount of time.
Where is the difference? Is it interest over 3 years? If so it is over 917 % interest ! Is it commission from the national company to the alarm dealer? Is it commission from the alarm dealer to the sales person that gets you to sign the long term contract. The difference is a lot more money out of your budget than there needs to be!
Do the Math.

Auto renewal built into your contract
If you signed a long term contract chances are it's longer than you think. Companies include a 1 year auto renewal clause in their contracts, Some have even included a 5 year renewal! What that means is if you don't cancel your contract 30 days before the 3 or 5 years run out it automatically renews for another year or more! So the day you sign your 3 year contract make sure to mark your calendar 34 months and 29 days from then, unless you think you'll remember. Your alarm company is betting you don't. Guess what your locked in for another year, at the higher price you paid to get your "Free" system.

Month to month agreement
U.S. Security offers a month to month agreement for your monitoring. This puts the pressure on us to always give you the best service possible. Makes since doesn't it?
Long Term Contracts
Most alarm companies require a 3 to 5 year contract to monitor or install your system.Some entice you with a free security system, but is it really free if you have to pay out over $1,500.00 to get it? Once they lock you in they don't have to give you the best service. They also include a 1 year auto renewal clause. If you're unhappy with them, if you move, you still have to pay the full contract amount.

Built in Price Increases
Most companies have built in price increases in their long term contracts. That means they can increase your monthly payment quarterly based on whatever index they tie it to. Usually it's the cost of living index ,but it could be anything, the prime rate, or how high the tide rises on December 31st in China. Just kidding , but you get the point. Guess what, you have to pay it! If you started out at $37.00 a month in 3 years you could be well over $40.00 a month.
VS
No Price Increases
U.S. Security hasn't had a price increase on an existing customer in 15 years. If the economy warrants our price to go up we will just charge more to our future customers. Again makes since doesn't it? It's just good business.
