When you need a new burglar alarm for your home, you want to ensure you choose the best installer. But how can you be sure you have made the right choice?

So, what makes a great installer and how do you find the best installer locally?

We believe the key traits of a business that you can trust to supply and install the most appropriate burglar alarm system for you needs are:

Knowledgeable Staff

Security and alarm technology is advancing all the time, therefore you should choose a company that keeps up to date with the latest technology and trains their staff regularly. Not only do you want a company that can install your new alarm, but one that can train you to work your new alarm system. They may need to show you how to install and set up the related app on your smartphone. The company you choose should only offer you the the most appropriate alarm system to meet your requirements and budget. If you have a 1-bedroom flat on the 3rd floor you may only need one sensor at the door as no one is going to come through a window. You should also check the company's credentials. Are they approved by the SSAIB (Security Systems & Alarms Inspection Board) or any similar association?

Experience

Experience brings knowledge. Choose a company that has been in the local area for many years and understands the security requirements of the local area. Their reviews should show that they deliver an excellent service. They will know what works best in a tenement flat and what is best for a large detached property.

Accreditations

Being accredited by the most appropriate organisations is important. Check any claims on a website. For instance, if they claim they have been vetted by SSAIB, check the SSAIB website to ensure they are a member. If they are, this means you can rely on them because the SSAIB have done the checks for you.

Great Service

Everyone is busy nowadays and needs a company to deliver great service. There is nothing worse than a company not returning your calls, charging you extras that you didn’t know about or not turning up when you have booked time off work. Check reviews to ensure that the company you are thinking about using delivers what they promise.

Fair, Transparent Pricing

You should choose a security company that believes in providing quality systems that last. Be wary if they try to recommend a system that provides far more security than you need at a huge cost. Check that their quote is the final price and there will be no unexpected extra charges.

Customer Satisfaction

It is always reassuring to find someone else that has used a company you are considering using. Personal recommendations are best but also check reviews on Google, Facebook and Trustpilot.

Local Business

The benefits of a local business are many. They are more likely to have local staff that don't change very often. Being locals, they understand they can only stay in business if the local community trusts them so they will work hard to maintain and grow a great reputation.

If you live in Edinburgh or the Lothians, Safe Simple Secure is an excellent choice for house security.
