Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- 24/7 Professional Monitoring
- Remote Mobile App Access
- Customized Home Security Services
- Medical Alert Services
The Bad
- Expensive Equipment Costs
- No Equipment Warranty Information
- No Contract Length Disclosure
- Only One Available Plan Choice
Simpson Security only offers one basic home security plan to customers with expensive upfront equipment costs. Customers are charged $699 upfront for the equipment package and $35/month for monitoring. System upgrades and additional equipment are available at an extra charge. The home security company does not disclose if there are any equipment warranties available and customers may be held responsible for parts and labor for the duration of the contract. A limited warranty may be available directly from the manufacturer upon the customer's request. Contract lengths are not publicly disclosed either and may be subject to automatic renewal upon expiration. The company also does not clearly state customers will be charged for transferring the home security service to a new residence while under contract. The company's home automation services do not provide doorbell surveillance.
The Bottom Line
Simpson Security provides home security and automation services for customers in Central Louisiana. Plans include free professional installation, 24/7 professional monitoring, and remote system access; however, there are expensive upfront costs and the home security company is not transparent in regards to its contract lengths, fees, and customer service policies.
