Already have an alarm system? In many cases, you can switch your monitoring and service to Aressco without replacing your existing security equipment. We monitor and service most major brands of alarm systems for homes and businesses throughout South Florida. Our goal is to provide service the same day it is requested whenever possible, or by the next business day.
In many cases, yes. If you already have a professionally installed security system, Aressco may be able to reprogram or upgrade your existing equipment and connect it to our monitoring service without requiring you to replace the entire system.
We service and take over many commonly installed alarm systems, including equipment from Honeywell/Resideo, DSC, Qolsys, and other major manufacturers.
If you are currently under a monitoring agreement, contact us before it expires and we will help coordinate the changeover. If you are no longer under contract or your system is not currently monitored, we can often begin the takeover process right away.
Older alarm systems do not always need to be completely replaced. Depending on the equipment, Aressco can often retain your existing door contacts, motion detectors, and other devices while upgrading the control or communication technology.
Options can include cellular/IP communication, smartphone access, additional keypads, smoke and heat detection, pet-immune motion detectors, and other modern security features.
Our technician will evaluate the existing equipment and recommend replacing only what is necessary.
Some customers have a security system but no active service because their original provider was sold, closed, or no longer supports the equipment. These are sometimes referred to as orphaned systems.
Aressco regularly helps customers bring these systems back into service. One of our certified technicians can test and reprogram compatible existing equipment to our local Central Station. If repairs or upgrades are needed, the technician can provide an onsite estimate before additional work is performed.
For your convenience, we can also send a reminder notice prior to your renewal date. Many monitoring contracts renew for additional terms without notification.
