Protecting your home at affordable prices from the palm of your hand

Sep 5, 2018 | 11:18 AM

Home is where the heart is. It is where memories are made and where the items most valuable to each of us reside.

Because of this, ensuring your property and possessions are protected when you are not around is essential. But keeping an eye on your home 24/7 should not break the bank, and the owners of Thor Security Ltd., a Reed Security authorized dealer, Myron Jacobsen and Oyvind Sparboe, take this belief to heart, and for a half-decade, have remained committed to affordable solutions fitted to your needs.

The team of five guys steadfast in helping you feel safe and gain control has reached the five-year milestone in operations. Relying heavily on the confidence in word of mouth, modesty and keeping low overhead costs, Thor Security Ltd. is able to offer a long list of services available from many dealers but at a much more attainable price point and tailored entirely to your needs.

“Not everybody is the same,” Sparboe said. “If they want their farm and or quonset secured, they may want a more robust and particular system. But if it is just a home, then maybe something a little bit more basic will do.”

This, alongside a goal of next day service and maintaining long-term relationships with clients, shows how above and beyond the team at Thor Security will go to keep your mind at ease.

The affordability of securing your home doesn’t end with Thor. Installing a home monitoring system can also pay dividends when it comes to insurance premiums. Many brokers offer a discounted insurance rate when security systems are installed. Some customers save enough on their premiums to cover the cost of the monitoring fee.

Your home protection can also be entirely in your hands with remarkable cutting edge technology. Smart home security allows for highly interactive, yet easily understandable, reliable command of your home all through simple phone and web applications. The team is always willing to assist in the step-by-step set up of the bounty of features on offer.

With modern, hectic life schedules, running behind can occur and you may forget to arm your system before leaving your home. No need to fret, as smart technology can alert you through geofences to your slip of the mind, and allow you to arm your home from anywhere in the world.

Adding cameras at low additional costs and pairing them with the aforementioned technology means you can check to see if the kids got home safe from school or if family members coming in from out of town arrived safely.

Leave the lights on or forget to lower the thermostat? Forget to lock a door? Again, no need to worry. Notifications can be set up to guarantee your home is always in good hands.

“You are totally in control of your system and less dependent with someone needing to come and help you with this or that,” Jacobsen said.

The path to affordable, dependable service begins with a simple call for an evaluation and estimate. They will assess what your home needs for door sensors, motion detectors including the various options for other equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, moisture sensors and video cameras.
