The Importance of Testing Your System

Imagine a car sitting idle for three years or a home left vacant for five – would you expect everything to work perfectly? This analogy perfectly illustrates the importance of testing your home security system regularly. In emergencies, there are no second chances; your security system must function flawlessly.

Why Test Your Home Security System?

Just like any mechanical equipment, your home security system needs periodic testing to ensure optimal performance. This video will guide you through the process of testing your system effectively, ensuring it works when you need it most.

Testimonials.

“I just recently had a residential security system installed by Boyd & Associates in Ventura. I looked into different companies and Boyd (previously Draganchuk) were very helpful through the process of customizing a system that works for me. I think the level of Service is great and a good value for the price.”

“We moved into a new office space and discovered some of the security equipment left behind by a prior tenant. Called Boyd & Associates and met with AL Felix who did a great job walking me through what was needed get the system back up and running. Called him again for a second location and again he was courteous and professional as was Sean who installed a new system. Definitely recommended.”
