"Nash and Miranda spent a week in our home completing an extensive whole-house electrical restoration and honestly became part of the family. They corrected electrical issues, replaced switches and outlets, brought smoke detectors up to code, installed whole-house surge protection, and left us with a clean, clearly labeled panel. Nash explained what he was doing throughout the job and coordinated power outages around two of us working remotely, so we could continue living and working normally. He also traced and explained confusing circuits in our older country home and answered every question we had. They were friendly, respectful, kept us informed, cleaned up after the work, and even earned the approval of our dogs and cats! Most importantly, I feel safer in our home. We wanted the electrical system corrected properly and brought up to code with no shortcuts, and that is exactly what we received. We would absolutely call Integra again."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

A home security system can be a worthwhile investment for several reasons. Financially, it may qualify you for a discount of up to 20% on your home insurance premiums, which can help offset the initial setup costs and any ongoing monitoring or subscription fees. For many, the primary benefit is the peace of mind that comes with enhanced security, especially for those living in areas with higher crime rates. Ultimately, whether a system is worth it depends on your personal preferences, the value of the assets you wish to protect, and your overall safety concerns.

The main difference between different security sensor options is the type of motion each detects. A motion detector monitors obvious movements in hallways, entrances, and exits. On the other hand, a presence detector is more sensitive and captures smaller moves. A window sensor typically focuses on the opening and closing of the window, whereas a glass break sensor alarms you when a glass is broken.

Technically, there isn't a difference between safe rooms and storm shelters. Both are designed to protect you from storms and extreme weather events. People often use “safe room” when discussing a shelter inside a building and storm shelter when talking about a detached unit. 

Additionally, a safe room is understood to have more functions than a storm shelter. You may seek shelter in a safe room when you believe an intruder is in the home or when under another type of threat. 

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.
