As parents, the responsibility to ensure the security and safety of our children lies within our hands. Children normally start staying home alone after school around the age of 11 or 12 up until they are 18 years old.

Read MoreWe have recently remodeled and updated our home. We have added wooden shutters and new windows. We have add two additional rooms that need to be secured, as well. We have always had glass break detectors and all our doors covered. The new windows are double pane windows. Will our glass break detectors still works on our alarm system?
Steve Graham of 1st Alarm Lubbock Tx (19 years experience). The new windows will not effect the glass break detector unless they are tempered glass or some type of glass that would not make the sound of normal glass breaking. The bigger challenge for the glass break detectors will be the wooden shutters. We discourage the use of glass break detector where wooden shutters have been installed. Contacting the window or even better the shutter itself is a much better security choice. If you’re looking to install shutters, I would recommend having a look at RDJShutters.co.uk to see the services shutter companies can offer you. If you would like to install security systems as well, or if you already have the shutters and need to organise a security system, I would suggest you call your local 1st Alarm office so they can stop by and let one our technical staff look at your home, they could also give you options on the two new rooms you added. Thank you for question hopefully I have helped.
Read More1st Alarm, we have your security system and we have a motion detector in our home. When it was installed the installer said pets would not set it off. We recently added a puppy to our family. Will the dog set the alarm system off if he is in the house and the system is armed?
Turner Cariker of 1st Alarm Abilene Tx (20 years experience) Great question, 1st Alarm’s PIR (pet immune) motion detector will not pick up motion from any pets under 55 lb. If your puppy is going to grow up to be larger than 55 lb. Then we will need to send one of our technician’s to your home and adjust to motion detector or give you other options to secure your home. Any pet under the weigh of 55 lb.. will not trigger the motion detector.
