"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

Yes, evaluating needs based on home size, layout, and climate.

Strike plates and security plates are the same thing, but there are strike plates that offer more security than others. For the highest security, look for plates made of heavy-duty steel, reinforced strike plates thicker than regular ones, and extended strike plates. It’s much harder to break into a door with these strike plates because they hold up better to force from attempted entry.

Insurance companies weigh the amount of potential liabilities on your property to increase (or decrease) the cost of your home insurance. They will use several factors to decide if there are more chances for peril or injury to take place at your home. These factors include your location (whether you live in an area with high risk for natural disasters), the age and condition of your home, and whether you have any “attractive nuisances”—features that both increase the aesthetic of your home and potential for injury—like a pool or treehouse. 

It depends on the type of sensor your home security system uses. If it’s a motion detector, any moving thing could set it off, from a roaming pet to a wind-blown curtain. Contact sensors would be triggered by the window being opened or moved. Also, be aware that any sensors placed too close to your vents could trigger false alarms whenever your heat or air conditioning is running.

With the popularity of DIY security cameras and video surveillance systems, it’s important to understand the benefits and potential drawbacks to decide if it’s the right choice for you. Advantages and disadvantages include:

Pros

  • Video footage readily available

  • Reduced home insurance

  • Save on labor costs by installing security cameras yourself

  • Wireless systems are easy to move and set up

  • Monitor from your smartphone

  • Avoid false alarms

Cons

  • Features may be vulnerable to hackers

  • No direct link to authorities

  • Risk of installing the system improperly, reducing its effectiveness
