EMC Security Fire Monitoring Saves Customer’s Home!

Monday, October 8th, 2012

The EMC Security local monitoring center received an alarm from the home of a customer in Suwanee, Georgia.  The upper hall smoke detector and attic heat detector had been activated while the customer was not home.  After attempts to make contact with someone at the home, the monitoring center immediately dispatched the fire department directly to the home.  The monitoring center made contact with the customer who was already on her way to the home and had nearly arrived at the home.  She was able to get to the home just before the fire department and began extinguishing t the fire.  The customer had set groceries on the stove and they had caught on fire while the customer had left to visit a neighbor.  The fire department arrived right after the csutomer and aided the customer in putting out the remainder of the fire and assisting with ventilation and clean up.

Shortly after the fire, the customer and her husband contacted management of EMC Security to express their gratitude to the monitoring center for saving their home.  They also said that judging by the location of the fire, there is no question that if the monitoring center had not called and notified them of the smoke detector alarm being activated, they would have indeed lost their home.  They emphatically thanked EMC Security for saving their home.  This is a fortunate true story where only casualties of this fire were the microwave and some water damage to the home.

Please never underestimate the need for proper fire protection as a part of your security system.  Not only does EMC Security monitoring for burglary and intrusion, but also fire and medical at no additional cost to the customer.  If you do not have fire protection included in your security system, please contact an EMC Security representative at 770-963-0305 to learn how you can EMC Security can provide fire monitoring for your home or business to help protect your valuable assets and property.

 

 

 

Technology Brings You Closer to Home

Friday, January 13th, 2012

Advances in security industry technology and the internet have opened up a world of new possibilities for consumers.  The security industry seized upon the available technology to build value among their customers.  The advent of the security system app quickly grew to include the control of thermostats, lights, and locks.  Customers can now control the electronics in their home from anywhere they have an internet connection.

EMC Security Sales Manager, Michael Morton says, “the early adopters of this technology were ‘techies’, but now we’re seeing customers from all walks of life electing to add these services to their home.”  Morton credits the low cost of the service and the convenience of remote system controls with the rapid growth in the “connected” services demand.  EMC Security has developed our exclusive Secure Path Technology™ that allows these types of connected services.

Research shows that not only do consumers find the technology convenient but they’re also learning that the thermostat controls can significantly reduce power consumption.  By allowing the security system to set the thermostat back four degrees automatically when the security system is armed, the average consumer can save $180 per year in “wasted power,” according to Energy Star.

EMC Security will be showcasing this new technology at the North Atlanta Home Show at the Gwinnett Center on February 10th, 11th and 12th.  Please visit us at the show for live demonstrations of these services.

Always Great to Hear from Another Satisfied Customer

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

“Mr. Morton,

“I would like to take the time to acknowledge Ted Furth. Mr. Furth visited my home this past weekend to complete an install. He was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable of his work. My existing equipment was previously monitored by another company and he knew everything needed to complete his job and work around the obstacles. Mr. Furth not only removed his shoes upon entering my home (the pile of shoes at the front door alerted him that this is what my family does), but he offered to help me re-hang a back-up smoke alarm that was out of batteries and sitting off to the side. He even returned to my home a second time to make sure things were adequately working because my cable provider had not installed my telephone system properly.

“Unfortunately, I do not experience great customer service as much as I should these days; in fact, both times the cable company came out to my home, their representatives were rude, unfriendly and unknowledgeable about their work (hence the second visit). Frequently we complain about service and seldom do we commend; I wanted to take the time to commend and to let you know that my first experience with EMC Security was a pleasant one. I am happy to be a customer!

“Sincerely,
Tarcha B. – Suwanee, GA”
