Moving A Wireless Security System

Not too long ago, when you were ready to move, it would take an act of congress to remove your home security system. Wires embedded in walls, and serious mounting hardware made it next to impossible to remove security systems easily and without a trace. Many homeowners were forced to include their old security system as part of their home sale and had to purchase a new system when they relocated.

Thanks to advanced technology with wireless security systems and do it yourself security systems, taking your system with you today is not nearly as complicated. With the birth of the wireless security system, many homeowners enjoy the flexibility of taking their security system with them to their new destination with ease. No wires to cut, holes to drill or complicated disconnection instructions. Here are a few tips to consider when you are ready to disassemble and move with your wireless security system.

Most security system companies will be able to accommodate your needs no matter where in the United States you move and allow you to take your security system equipment with you.

Provide Your Updated Information

As soon as you know your new address and other information, provide this to your security system company.
