Alarm Installation Insurance
With Representatives from our agency meet with members of your company to go over various types of coverage based on a cost/benefit analysis. We believe that one of our strengths is asking the right questions so that your company gets answers before negotiating a contract. Preparation is the key to our success. What if a pipe bursts overnight when the building is vacant? What if you did have a fire and valves were inadvertently left in the shut off position? Would your insurance cover these situations? What would happen if your company hired subcontractors to do the installation and they didn’t have certificates of insurance? Would your company be liable for their mistakes?
At CIA, we think ahead to write contracts that will cover you in these situations. One of the other factors in monitoring the security of the workplace involves the use and placement of closed circuit televisions. Other coverage highlights include medical injury, such as falling and sustaining an injury, as well as utilities, such as refrigeration breaking down leading to a loss of perishable materials. What about access control systems such as electronic key cards and security gates? Again, we work with your company to provide the best policy to cover your needs.
In today’s litigious society, we recommend a higher dollar amount per incident, because we are seeing higher payouts on claims. We think a higher premium is justified in these situations. One of our goals is to advise your company about possible eventualities so that there are no surprises after a policy is written. Finally, it is important to realize that all alarm and monitoring systems need to meet local and state codes.

What Many Insurance Brokers Don’t Want You to Know
Not all insurance brokers are the same. There are some that do not have their clients’ interests as their priority. Here are some things that those insurance brokers do not want you to know regarding their services.
01
The Majority of Their Income Comes from a Single Source
Ideally, an insurance broker has access to the products from numerous insurance companies. That is one way to ensure that its clients will have plenty of options.
What some brokers might not want you to know is that their income comes from a single source. That can be a problem because they could be pushing for the company which gives them most of their income regardless of their client’s needs.
02
How Your Premium Is Calculated
Some brokers will not tell their clients how their premiums are calculated. The calculation process is deliberately confusing. Insurance companies use this method to discourage comparisons.
The First Settlement Offers Are Deliberately Low
Normally, the first settlement offer is very low. In some cases, they are the lowest amount that insurance companies are obligated to pay.
That’s one way for insurance companies to make more money and your broker might not share that detail with you.
04
The Policy Exclusions
Some brokers emphasize on the things covered by their policies without mentioning the things that are not covered. You must ask your broker for a list of events where coverage does not apply for your policy.
These are just a few of the things that other insurance brokers do not want you to know.

Alarm Industry
The alarm industry is made up of businesses that sell, install, monitor, and repair alarms for businesses and homes. They’re in the business of protection but sometimes they become vulnerable themselves.
Alarm companies face significant risks. For example. What if an alarm fails to go off during an emergency? What if a company that’s supposed to monitor alarms fail to respond in time? What if the alarm does not work fast enough?
Those are just a few of the risks that are faced by businesses in the alarm industry. Unfortunately, those risks can cause financial problems for an alarm company.
Alarm Insurance Agency provides the right insurance solutions to alarm companies. Some of the policies that these companies typically need are the following:
Commercial Liability Insurance
Professional Liability Insurance
Umbrella/Excess Liability
Those are just three of the more common insurance used by alarm companies. There are others that a business might require and as a general insurance broker, we can provide those too.
Security Industry
The security industry in North America amounts to $29 billion and it’s still growing. While that is generally a good thing, it also means that security agencies are facing more risks.
The security agencies which provide security guards and security patrols for businesses and other organizations have plenty of insurance needs, maybe even more so than other types of businesses.
These are some of the coverages that are often needed by security companies:
General Liability
Umbrella/Excess Liability
