Installation Options

Many home security companies will either offer professional installation or self-install systems to clients. The hard-wired security systems often require some level of professional installation or help from an electrician. The DIY install systems are often also self-monitored systems.

This is another way West Carolina Tel sets itself apart from the industry. The company offers both professional and self-installation options. Professional installation is covered in the upfront costs of each home security system. For those that would like to install the system on their own, West Carolina Tel has videos and other resources available to those clients.

Equipment

With the number of home security packages available to West Carolina Tel customers, it is no wonder that there is a wide range of equipment available. Customers get to decide what package works best for them based on what equipment is offered.

Oftentimes, home security companies will upcharge for additional equipment, but with six different equipment options to choose from, West Carolina Tel customers are bound to find the equipment that works best for their property.

Monitoring

One of the most important aspects of a home security service is the monitoring. In recent years, the ability to self-monitor has become more appealing and has cut back the costs of a monitoring service.

That being said, people do not always have the ability to constantly be checking in on security alerts. For those customers, professional monitoring works best. With West Carolina Tel, customers get the best of both worlds. The system is monitored professionally 24/7, but customers can also access the system with smart devices and cell phones. 

• Service Area
• Undisclosed Contract Information

Service Area

Home security companies have grown to be national operations. Whether through self or professional monitoring, home security providers have found ways to service customers throughout the country. While many home security companies service on a national level, West Carolina Tel is a more locally focused enterprise.

Right now, West Carolina Tel offers home security services only in three states: North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. This service area drastically reduces the number of potential home security clients it can service.

Undisclosed Contract Information

Since home security companies generally install security equipment and professionally monitor activity on a property, contracts have become an industry standard. These contracts guarantee a monitoring rate for the customer and term length for the provider.

Typically, contracts range from 12–48 months depending on the monitoring service. It is unclear whether or not West Carolina Tel requires customers to be locked into a contract or not. Additionally, there is no information regarding whether or not customers will be charged a cancelation fee should they terminate the contract early.
