Re: How to find a reputable installation company

In my opinion...

So far as not having criminals working for them, I suppose an alarm company
which installs "U.L. Grade Alarms" and has a U.L. certified monitoring
center might have a better process of checking out their employees than
others. (Since they would be installing higher security systems.) I think
most alarm companies are careful who they hire though.

Note that most burglars are not very bright and prefer to NOT work. So most
would not think of getting a job at an alarm company. Watch America's
Dumbest Criminals. This is who you are dealing with mostly. Than any
burglars who ARE intelligent are not going to be breaking into apartments
typically. So not to worry...

So far as dealing with an honest alarm company which will not try to rip you
off (and doing business with companies in general) - large corporations are
more likely to squeeze every last nickel out of you and have you sign
contracts which take you to the cleaners for years to come. (Read every
single word in any contracts! Beware!) Small mom and pop companies tend to
be more ethical.
