Our awesome in-house customer care team answers tons of security-related questions every day. But one question we hear often is, what happens to my home security system if I move? Moving is high on the list of the most stressful life events someone can experience, so we completely understand this concern. There are a million and one things to consider during the moving process, and somehow everything needs to come together in the end to restore peace and balance to your life.
We want to be there for you and make sure you get everything you need for a seamless move, including answering any questions about your existing or future home security services. Did you know that Guardian has promotions specially designed for loyal Guardian customers who are relocating? If you’re a Guardian customer and planning a move, this blog post is for you!
If you move without reprogramming your security system, your alarm will continue to transmit signals after you’re gone. That can result in false alarms and expensive fines, which is the last thing you want to be deal with during this hectic process. Avoid the hassle and make sure that you notify Guardian of your moving date as soon as you know it — it’s one less thing to worry about!
There’s no need to relocate any of your current equipment. We will reprogram your alarm service at your old home when you are no longer there so that false alarms can be avoided.
There’s never a bad time to up your home security game. But moving into a new home is a fantastic opportunity to reevaluate your home security needs. A security system should be tailored specifically for you and your home, and there are numerous examples of how your needs might change. For example:
If these questions are making your head spin, don’t worry! Guardian can work with you to address these changes, and identify other areas for improvement.
You may choose to take the opportunity to implement any changes you’ve been considering, such as adding cameras in new places, upgrading to newer cameras with more features, or incorporating smart home automation devices. Keep in mind that investing in smart home technology can boost your home’s resale value.
A safe and smart home is the best housewarming gift you could give yourself, and the lucky folks buying your house. It’s the perfect time to introduce the new homeowners to the benefits of a professionally monitored Guardian alarm system. And if they decides to become a Guardian customer, you can earn a referral credit as a personal thank you from us.
Give us a call to help you get started!
First and foremost, give you realtor Guardian Protection’s contact number, which is 1.800.PROTECT (1.800.776.8328).
A smart security system is a huge value add for a home on the market. In fact, a survey revealed that when asked to select just one smart home feature to add to their home, a high-tech security system ranked first for homebuyers.
The more your realtor knows about your existing security system — including integrated smart home devices, monitored smoke alarms, and CO detectors — the more they can talk it up to anyone who considers buying your home. Are you getting a homeowner’s insurance discount by having professionally monitored security? That’s the kind of stuff shoppers want to hear!
Also, if your realtor will have access to your home, give them a quick education on how to arm and disarm your system, and what to do if there is an accidental alarm. You may wish to give him or her a temporary alarm user code to make showing the house a little easier.
