At FixUpMyHouse.com we specialize in helping homeowners meet contractors in your area who can help you fix up your house, just the way you want it.  If you've just moved into a new home, or are fixing up your old one, finding the right contractor is important. Here are some tips for choosing the right security system:

When asked, security and safety of home and family is always one of the top concerns of American families. Home Security and Alarm Systems have become part of our very fabric. New construction homes typically come furnished with an alarm system and the buyer simply needs to select which security company to contract for monitoring. You want a 24 hour monitoring system and a company that can assure you that they have the ability to take an emergency call from you or your electronic monitoring system 24 hours a day. Today, Home Security Systems not only help protect you against burglary, but comes complete with smoke detection (fire protection) and gas leak detection. Experts seem to agree that most folks wait until a non-lethal incident occurs within their home before checking into a HomeMonitoring System. But if you are like me, you may have the subconscious feeling that “lightning never strikes twice”. This can not be further from the truth. Consider the good and bad things happening in threes rule. 

Take a look at these statistics:

90% of police believe alarms deter burglary attempts.
People feel safe with Security Systems...

The international Association of Chiefs of Police passed a Board Resolution, in 1994, stating that professionally installed and monitored alarm systems are useful instruments to deter crime and provide peace of mind for residential and business owners.
Homes without security systems are about 3 times more likely to be broken into.
Businesses without alarm systems are 4.5 times more likely to be burglarized than commercial locations with electronic security in place.
A burglary takes place every 12 seconds and produces an average loss of $1,675 per event.
On average, 1 out of 6 homes will be burglarized this year.
60% of residential burglaries occur during daylight hours, 10am and 3pm, after most people leave for work and before kids get home from school.
