A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF CENTRA-LARM

In today's economy, more and more companies are giving a back seat to old-fashioned customer service as they focus instead on saving money and boosting their bottom lines.  However, there are still a few companies that believe it's the customer who pays our salaries.   

I'm proud to say Centa-Larm monitoring is one of those companies.  

I've been in the security industry for more than 30 years and first started installing alarms out of the trunk of my car.  This industry has been good to me and has given me the opportunity to associate with numerous professionals who insist on quality workmanship and “doing it right.”  

Over the past years, this industry has gone through many changes.  Today's technology is a far cry from the electro-mechanical relay systems with end of line batteries that were prominent in the late 60’s and early 70’s.  The auto dialer was the first communication over a dial-up telephone line and allowed people to notify someone else if their alarm went off.   

Now we are starting to use the Internet as a means of communication, in addition to cellular, radios, and satellites.  We also have the contract central station, which specializes in professional, timely response to alarms — as opposed to years ago when the call went to a neighbor or directly to the police.  

Yet, as alarm technology becomes more advanced, the cost of doing business has increased — and personal service has become less of a priority.  The good news is, at Centra-Larm, we believe that personal service is the crux of the alarm industry.  That's why whenever you call us, a live operator will answer the phone — not an automated system. Our customer service professionals are there to solve your problems and to help you do business.  If we answer your telephone when you’re not there, you can be sure that one of our operators will be there to answer the call — and that they'll call or page you if there is an emergency.   

After all, we want you to see us as your partner.  We also want to make you look good with out drawing attention to ourselves.  That’s why we always use your company name when talking to the authorities or people on the call lists.  Quite frankly, if we can help you become more successful, then we will become more successful.  It’s that simple.  

“Cutting edge technology with old fashioned service” is our motto and a philosophy we take very seriously.  To learn more about our personalized approach and service, please feel free to call me personally at 1.800.639.4068.
