Winter Is Upon Us

Posted on December 3, 2015 by Mike Proudfit

Be Ready For Winter.

With Winter upon us, make sure that your house is ready for winter, whether you get snow where you live or you are one of the lucky few who have a home that’s in a snowless climate, these tips are great for you to do anyway before it gets too cold out.

1. Clean Those Gutters

As snow melts, the water needs a clear path from the roof away from the home. Otherwise, you run the risk of flooding. Even if you don’t expect snow this winter, cleaning out your gutters can help prevent flooding with rain as well. Regularly clean out excessive build up of fallen leaves, pines and debris to prevent overflow later.

2. Trim Shrubs and Trees

Check the outside of your home to see if any tree branches have grown or are falling towards your home. Snow and ice and wind can weigh, sway and shake these branches to the point where they can break off and cause a lot of damage to your house or vehicles. Take action ahead of time and trim branches before they get too big or too bent.

3. Plant a Windbreak to Conserve Energy

By planting shrubs, or small trees, you can help break the cold winds from hitting your house, which has proven to help with heating bills by helping keep out some of the cold from getting into your house. By planting a windbreak you can save up to 30% on your heating bill!

4. Smart Home Thermostat

A Smart Home Thermometer from Titan Alarm can help you put your house on a schedule, that way your house isn’t heating up while you’re away, wasting electricity, you can also set up a geo fence for your house to help your house be just the right temperature for you when you get home. To learn more about geo-fencing check out this blog we did. Click Here.

5. Keep An Eye On That Space Heater.

During the winter months, the fire departments see a massive increase in fires started with heating equipment. A recent study showed that at least half of all home fires between December and February are caused by space heaters and heating equipment.

To help prevent these kind of fires, furnaces, chimneys, space heaters and radiators need to be cleaned regularly and be sure to keep those blankets and wrapping paper away from them as well!

6. Utilize Your Smart Home

With a Titan Alarm Smart Home System, you can keep your home safe and armed, turn your lights on and off, keep your thermostat at just the right temperature and so much more!

Family Matters

Posted on December 3, 2015July 28, 2023 by Mike Proudfit

In a recent study done by AARP “87 percent of adults age 65+ want to stay in their current home and community as they age. Among people age 50 to 64, 71 percent of people want to age in place.”

As the holidays roll around, your loved ones are on the top of your mind, so this season learn how to help them the most, by helping them stay where they’d like to.

So how can you help your loved ones retire and age where they’d like? A smart home system from Titan Alarm can help!

3 Reasons To Retire In A Smart Home

Around The House. For seniors already used to using their smartphone, the Alarm.com app offers a lot of new ways for convenience at home and managing things around the house. For example, you can turn on and off lights, lock and unlock doors and check cameras all from the comfort of your favorite couch or bed.

Keep Family In The Loop. Include caregivers and family members in your smart home access, allowing the ones who look after you or your loved ones to have the opportunity to remotely check in anytime with your smart home system.

Notifications and Alerts. You can set your smart home system to notify you of so many things, an irregular pattern around the house with door sensors, when medication cabinets are opened, if a fire alarm is going off, or a panic button is hit. That way you’re notified as well as the proper authorities if needed.

3 Security Vacation Tips

As one of the busiest travel seasons approaches make sure your holidays aren’t ruined by using the 5 following tips to protect your home that is protected with home security in Mesa, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Chandler, Gilbert or Paradise Valley.

The following guidelines outline how to avoid travel risks.

1. Secure your phone, tablet and laptop. If you are using one of these devices to monitor your home security system, make sure that all of your devices are password protected. If you on the off chance do lose your iPhone or iPad make sure to wipe them with Find My iPhone so that no one can access your user data and access your home security system.

2. If possible, don’t bring valuables. Leave as much jewelry and other fine items at home, locked in a safe place.

3. Social media can wait. Share limited information on social media about your location and length of travel. Over sharing, even with friends and family, can provide Internet trolls enough information to know you’re not at home, putting your assets at risk. Also, vacation is better this way—take time to unplug.

Holidays are a crucial time to have a Home Security System, lots of burglars know that people will be out of town and away from their homes, leaving it a vulnerable spot to break in and rob. The last thing you want to do when you come back from a holiday vacation is come home to find your house has been robbed.

Home security is a great way to keep yourself, your loved ones and your valuable items safe and sound. With a Titan Alarm Home Security System you’re taking the right step to protecting yourself.

Thanksgiving Travel

Posted on November 16, 2015 by Mike Proudfit

Holidays are a time to relax and enjoy the company of family and friends, so Titan Alarm is here to give you some easy tips to keep you worry and stress free about your home during the holidays!

Keep your yard clean: If you’re out cleaning leaves from the gutters, or replacing shingles before the cold winter snow sets in, make sure you don’t leave any ladders out if you’re not using them.

Dumb as a Rock: Don’t leave any keys hidden that someone could find, burglars know all the good spots.

Silence is Golden: While you’re away make sure your voice mail is on the lowest volume and that your land lines are on mute so that no one can hear the phones ringing over and over again when you’re not home.

You’ve Got Mail: Have all mail held at the post office or have a neighbor get the mail for you while you’re gone.

Lockdown: Lock and Secure all windows, make sure you don’t forget the ones upstairs as well.

Home Alone: Use timers to operate lights to make it look like there are people home.

Last but not least, one of the best ways you can protect your house is to have a Titan Alarm system installed in your home, our systems include 24 hour monitoring to keep your home safe and sound.

Titan Alarm Inc.
Press Release
Monday November 16th, 2015

Phoenix, Arizona—With an eye toward growing their commercial portfolio, and acquisition activity in Arizona, full service security firm Titan Alarm Inc. announced this month it has a new Utah based equity investor. This is the first equity raise for the company since it was founded in 2008. CEO Mike Proudfit said “We knew we needed to clean up our balance sheet to prepare Titan for future growth, specifically our acquisition strategy. We feel fortunate to have found a partner who shares Titan’s vision of major growth through acquisitions.” Titan has grown organically in both the residential and commercial markets and has made significant investments in their systems and people. Mike said, “All of our efforts in building a strong platform has led to being able to execute on our acquisition strategy, which begins in 2016. We will be approaching companies in the state of Arizona with talented employees. We don’t just want to acquire RMR, we want the talented people that helped generate and maintain that RMR over the years.”

Companies with RMR from access control, surveillance systems, fire alarms, and residential and commercial intrusion alarms will be great bolt on acquisitions for Titan Alarm. While the Arizona market is competitive, the management at Titan feels strongly about their position for future growth. “We love this industry and business just a little more than our competition does” said Mike Proudfit. He went on to say, “our website, our products, our marketing strategy can all be replicated, what makes us different is our culture, our people, and our passion which cannot be copied, compared or matched.” In dealing and meeting with many local security business owners Mike said, “they want to start enjoying life just a little bit more. Running billing statements at 11PM and back office headaches are just a few things preventing that personal touch or amazing service they so badly want to offer their customers.” Titan Alarm has a few acquisition opportunities lined up for 2016 and is actively searching for more talent and RMR within Arizona.

Home Security Tips for the Holidays.

Posted on November 3, 2015 by Mike Proudfit

With the holidays approaching faster than anyone knows what to do with, it’s time for us to start helping everyone out with a few security tips to keep their homes safe while the hustle and bustle of the holiday season takes over.

1. A Lived In House. Make it look like you’re still home when you’re away, have lights on a timer, ask a neighbor to collect your mail while you’re gone, these are two great ways to make burglars think you’re still home.

2. Contact Titan. Make sure you get a hold of us to update all your contact numbers before you head out of town, that way if something happens we can get ahold of you immediately.

3. Conceal valuables. Keep valuable items out of sight from anyone looking outside the house. Don’t keep spare keys in places obvious to burglars such as under a flower pot or fake rock. Remove valuable items from sight in your car, if parked in the driveway, and put a lock on the steering wheel.

4. Decorations. Make sure your holiday decorations don’t cover vital parts of your Titan Alarm Home Security System.

Reduce False Alarms at Home

Posted on October 13, 2015 by Mike Proudfit

False alarms definitely have an impact on your home life as well as your personal life, but did you know that they also can effect your security company and your community? False alarm fees can rack up and cost you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Aside from having an effect on your pocket, it can also leave a negative taste with your system and your security provider.

How to Reduce False Alarms:

Most of the false alarms are caused by simple mistakes that can be fixed very easily.

The most common causes for false alarms are the following:

Failing to Train Authorized Users.
Using Incorrect Keypad Codes.
Alarm System is Not Pet Proofed.
Objects hanging around motion detectors.
Batteries that are dying.
Faulty Equipment.
Re-entering the home just after leaving and not disarming the house.

Ways to prevent false alarms:

Make sure all authorized users are fully trained.
Secure all doors and windows before arming the alarm.
Have routine service on your home security system done.
Always inform your security company of new pass codes and arming codes. As well as new users.

If you have any questions as to your system working properly, immediately call Titan Alarm at 602-680-4567 or TEXT US at 623-523-4849.

System Check Up

Posted on October 5, 2015July 28, 2023 by Mike Proudfit

Fall is here, and with the change of seasons brings hot chocolate, pumpkins, hayrides, and cooler weather. Aside from the things most people look forward to, there’s also some things that home owners and landlords start to worry about with cooling temperatures. Cooler temps mean higher risks of freezing pipes, fires from heaters and houses being too cold.

Which means it’s the perfect time for you to have your Titan Alarm system inspected, which YOU can do!

Here are three steps to take to do some routine maintenance on your system!

1. Sensor Utilization.
Make sure that your sensors are in the right areas, as the year goes on people like to rearrange furniture and decorations, so make sure that your sensors have clear lines of sight into each room that you want each sensor to monitor.
Make sure that no chairs, couches, tables or decorations in the way of the sensor.

2. Battery Replacement.
Don’t wait until it’s too late to replace your batteries! Most homeowners will only replace the battery when they receive the alert for a low battery, but the truth is most batteries should be replaced every 3-5 years, but it’s never a bad thing to be too prepared and change it every year. Feel free to call us to set up getting you a new battery if you need it!

3. Maintenance is Key.
Try to maintain your system throughout the year, bare minimum at least once a year. It’s extremely simple to do and it’s fast! If you want to learn how pick up your phone and call Titan Alarm at 602.680.4567 or TEXT us at 623.523.4849
