Jack,

Your first goal should be is to make sure your have the dealer programming =
code from your present dealer. If he goes away and you don't have the code =
you'll have to have a new main panel installed.

After that you should call around to some local, ( not national companies l=
ike ADT, Vivint, or your cable or power companies) and do some shopping. Yo=
ur present pricing is pretty low. Obviously, be careful about shopping for =
the lowest price when it comes to the security of your home and family. You=
 want a company that's been around for awhile but not a big company where y=
ou only become an account number in their file. Try to find a company where=
 the central station is not across the country 10 states away.

Make sure the company that you choose is familiar with your equipment. You =
don't want someone to come to  your home just to get you as an account but =
who doesn't have the expertise to program and trouble shoot your system.=20
