Alarm System Maintenance
What, I have to maintain my Alarm System?
You have to defrost your freezer when the ice builds, you have to get an oil change every 3000 miles, and you have to polish your fancy shoes when they get worn. So, how is it less important to maintain your Security System? Many people have an Alarm System, but do not know that they can maintain it themselves.
How to maintain your Alarm System:
Testing your system IS maintaining your system, and this involves setting your system and trying to break into your home or office. You should test your system about every six months.
First, call your security company and tell them you are going to test your system. This way, you won’t have the police show up thinking you are a burglar. Tell them to “put the system in test” and tell them it will take an hour. You will need to know your account password.
Second, you will be setting off your alarm, so let your neighbors know. If you don’t, they might call the Police because of the commotion.
Third, set your alarm and start opening any doors or windows that lead to the outside. Every time you will have to go back to the keypad and disarm the system.
Fourth and last, call your Security company and tell them “Take the system out of test.”
