Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Free Estimates
- Experienced in the Industry
- Free Moving Policy
- Money-Back Guarantee
- CSAA Certified
The Bad
- Limited Locations
- Contract Agreements
- Limited Pricing Information
- No Cancellation Policy Information
Washington Alarm services homes across Washington State, and more specifically around the Puget Sound region. It does not appear that the company services any homes outside of Washington State. With an alarm system, customers can expect to lock into a 3-year agreement. While 36 months is not out of the ordinary for home security systems, there are companies in the industry who allow for a shorter contract. Additionally, the company does not provide pricing information. Aside from the $199 Starter Security Bundle price, the company does not include cost or fee information on any other security system. Washington Alarm does not elaborate on how much each piece of equipment costs, and its website does not include any information on the cancellation policy. Information on pricing, and if the company charges a fee to cancel before the contract is up would be helpful to know upfront.
The Bottom Line
Washington Alarm Inc. has been in the industry for over 70 years, and offers a wide array of different security system combinations. Customers can enjoy 24/7 monitoring from a CSAA Five Diamond Certified Monitoring Station, and a risk-free money-back guarantee. Additionally, the company conveniently does not charge moving fees. Where the company lacks is with its transparency. Washington Alarm does not provide a lot of pricing information, and its cancellation policy is undisclosed. While the company may be worth exploring for those in the Puget Sound area, we also recommend looking into other companies for home security needs.
