Talk to a real person. We'll answer your questions about monitored home security and tell you what it costs at your address — no sales visit, no pressure.
Ask us any of these on the phone — or all three. There is no script and no obligation at the end of it.
What monitoring costs at your address, the agreement term, and exactly what happens when it renews. Before anyone visits.
How many entry sensors, motion detectors and control points a home your size takes — and what installation adds.
If professional install and monitored service cover your ZIP code, and how soon a technician can attend.
Tap the number and reach an advisor directly. No callback queue, no email chain.
Confirm availability, then talk through monitoring plans and what your home needs.
Monthly monitoring, install cost and terms, stated plainly. Decide in your own time.
Switch Home Security is an independent advisory service. We are not affiliated with, and are not the customer service or support line for, any home security company you may currently be with — including any provider whose name brought you to this page. For help with an existing account, contract or bill, please contact that company directly.
If you are comparing providers, or your contract is ending, we can walk you through monitored alternatives and what they cost.
If your bill keeps climbing, your equipment is a decade old, or you can't get anyone on the phone — you're not stuck. Most homeowners just don't know what their options cost.
Promotional pricing usually expires after the first term, then renews higher. We'll tell you what a new agreement costs today so you can compare like for like.
Tell the advisor your end date and any early termination amount. Some providers contribute toward buying out a remaining term — we'll check what applies to you.
Panels installed years ago often lack cellular backup or app control, and some 3G radios no longer connect at all. A new install replaces the lot.
We cannot help with your existing account. Billing questions, service calls, cancellations and contract disputes have to go to your current provider directly — we have no access to their systems.
We quote new systems only. If that's what you want — a fresh professionally installed, monitored system, and a clear price before anyone visits — that's exactly the call to make.
Both are called "home security". Only one sends help when nobody is home to look at the app.

|---|---|---|
| Who responds to an alarm | You do — if you see the alert | A staffed monitoring centre, 24/7 |
| Police & fire dispatch | You call them yourself | Requested on your behalf |
| If the Wi-Fi drops | Usually offline | Cellular backup |
| If the power fails | Offline once batteries die | Backup battery on the panel |
| Installation | You drill and configure it | Fitted and tested by a technician |
| Insurance discount | Rarely qualifies | Often qualifies — check your insurer |
| Monthly cost | Little or none | Monitoring agreement required |
| Best for | Watching a package arrive | Protecting an occupied home |
If the left column is what you want, a DIY kit will serve you better and cost less — we would rather tell you that than sell you something.
Most people's bad experience with home security is being quoted one thing and signing another. Here is what we commit to on every call.
Monthly monitoring, installation and the agreement term — before anyone visits your home.
We do not send anyone to your kitchen table to talk you into a number.
What the rate does when the initial term ends, said out loud, before you sign.
We never take card or bank details over the phone. Not on the first call, not ever.
If a self-install kit fits you better, we say so. We only sell monitored systems, so sometimes the answer is no.
We share them only with the licensed provider quoting your home. No lead brokers.
Every call is answered by an advisor who quotes monitored systems all day. They will ask about your home, check what is available at your address, and give you a number — or tell you honestly if we are not the right fit.
About two minutes, start to finish.
You are told immediately that we are independent and not your current provider.
Your ZIP code, whether you own the home, and what you have now — so the price is real rather than a "starting from".
Monthly monitoring, installation cost, agreement length, and what happens at renewal.
Book an install, or take the figure away and think about it. No card details are taken on this call.
Calling is quickest — you get an answer on the spot. But if now is a bad time, leave your number and one of our advisors will ring you back.
No. We are an independent advisor and not the support line for any provider. For help with an existing account or contract, contact that company directly.
No. Everything we quote is professionally installed, professionally monitored and requires a monitoring agreement. If you want a self-install camera or a system with no monthly fee, we are not the right fit.
No. The call gives you pricing and availability. No obligation, and no home visit needed for a quote.
Professionally installed monitored systems generally require homeowner authorisation. If you rent, you will usually need your landlord's written permission first.
Monitoring is billed monthly under an agreement; installation is charged separately. Exact pricing depends on your home and location — that is what the call establishes.
