Why you should have a home security system installed.

Home security alarm systems are a necessary evil in today's society. Years ago one could leave their doors unlocked and their windows open in the summer. These days, any open window on the first floor of your home is begging for a robber to jump through. There are several reasons why one should have a home security alarm system in the home aside from the obvious.

Home Security Alarm Systems Provide Peace of Mind
Having your own home security alarm system in your home can provide peace of mind. We live in a consumer driven society, and it is important that we protect our stuff. Owning a home security alarm system will notify the authorities when an intruder enters your home when you are present or away.

It does not matter if one lives in suburbia or in the downtown of a city, crime happens everywhere. By having a home security alarm system, the knowledge in and of itself that your home is protected will grant you and your family peace of mind.

Home Security Alarm Systems Provide Safety
It is clear that owning a home security alarm system provides safety in your home. The last place that one should have to worry about his or her own safety is in the own home. In addition to detecting intruders, most home security alarm systems can be hooked up to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

There are generally one push buttons on a home security alarm system keypad for contacting the police, fire station, and poison control. These additional features of a home security alarm system provide additional safety to one's home.

Home Security Alarm Systems Can Lower Your Homeowner's Insurance
The benefits to owning a home security alarm system in your house can outweigh the costs. Many insurance agencies will give a discount to homeowners who install a home security alarm system.

After having a home security alarm system installed in your home, your insurance provider  could discount your yearly premium by almost five hundred dollars! The savings you can make on your insurance plan can be greater than the cost of the security system itself. Not only will you end up saving money, you will also feel safer.

Pros & Cons of Central (ducted) Vacuums

Central (ducted) vacuum systems are the end-all in today's modern world. No more dragging out a vacuum cleaner and all the accessories every time you need to spruce up, stronger suction power. What household wouldn't like that? Here are the ins and outs of central vacuum systems.

What is a Central (ducted) Vacuum System?

• A central vacuum system (central vac) enables the homeowner to plug the hose of the system into an outlet in the wall; the actual vacuum is powered from the outlet and is usually installed in the garage or basement. The suction comes from the power unit; you plug in the hose and flick a switch to turn on the vacuum. The outlets are installed throughout the house so all you need to do is move the hose--no more stretching a power cord to its limit.
  The dirt and debris is sucked through the filtration system and empties into a fairly large container, which doesn't have to be emptied after every vacuuming session. There are two basic types of central vacs--a vacuum system or a "cyclone" system that uses gravity and centrifugal force.

Why Consider a Central Vacuum System?

• If you have less than 1000 square feet, a central vac is not worth the money. If you have all hardwood floors, probably not. If you have a dog or cat that sheds, definitely get a central vac. A regular vacuum cleaner requires you to drag out the entire vacuum cleaner every time you need to tidy up. There is usually a canister to either empty or a bag to toss after every job, which can become old very fast.
  A central vac only requires you to pull out a hose, plug it into an outlet in the wall and use when and where you need it. Simply put the hose back when you're done.

The Pros

• The number one reason to add central vac to your home is that it immediately increases the value of your home. It may cost a little bit to install, but you will get that and more back, even if your system is several years old. Central vac systems typically vacuum with three to five times the power of a conventional vacuum cleaner. Which means, stronger suction and a much more productive vacuum in half the time. You may need to vacuum less often because of the power of a central vac system, and a central vac cleans deeper.
  There are no cords Professional installers show you where you to place the outlets for the best efficiency. You simply move the hose from place to place as you vacuum without dragging the vacuum cleaner and cord around.
  Central vac systems mean healthier air for your lungs. The dirt and debris is carried away to the main unit which is located in the basement or garage instead of into the air. For people suffering from allergies or asthma, this is a huge factor.

The Cons

• Central vac systems are usually a bit more pricey than a great well known Brand conventional vacuum (although these days you would probably find the costs not to far apart) and generally require professional installation. The pipes must be installed out of sight, usually in walls and under floors. This can be an expensive addition to the price of the vacuum system. Central vac systems are generally not cost efficient for small areas.
  Installation of central vac systems doesn't make sense for renters unless the landlord will pay for 100 percent of the cost--after all, the installation of central vac adds to the value of the landowner's property. Finally, be aware that the hose for a central vac system is quite long, so storage could be an issue.

Weighing In

• Choosing between a conventional vacuum cleaner or a central vacuum system is both a financial and personal decision. There can be no ignoring the cost of the central vac system, as it is usually at least $700.00 -- before installation costs. For some, financial matters take a back seat to personal matters; if you have asthma or allergies, the cost may be easily justified. If you have hardwood floors and no pets, a central vacuum system may not, however, make sense.

  We do promise you though, once you use a ducted vacuum system you will never want to go back!
