The most common misconceptions about residential fire-protection systems that prevent homeowners from including one in their home, is the fear of a misfiring sprinkler head. Hollywood movies portray fire sprinkler heads as “one sprinkler head goes off they all will go off”. The Honest truth is that information is false. Misfiring sprinkler heads are extremely rare, one manufacturer claims the chances to be 1 in 16 million. Fire sprinkler systems are designed so only the sprinkler heads directly affected by the heat of a fire become activated, not the entire system. In the event of a fire, one sprinkler head activating at 15-20 gallons per minute will cost you a lot less in water damages, then a firefighter with a two-and-a-half-inch hose spraying water on your home at 250 gallons per minute. Rainier Professionals understands that quality, respect, and communication are of the utmost importance so that we can create the perfect sprinkler system for your perfect home. At Rainier Professionals, we take pride in protecting your future.

"Terrible non existent customer service - I regret not terminating this earlier as we were a decade + long victim of their incompetence. No contact. Never a single call to us to say -how is it working? -- Only got routine testing of the system (text messages at no scheduled frequency) - after complaining the system was not working for - how long??? Antiquated, obsolete system. Nasty interaction with staff there who talked over me and interrupted repeatedly. it's not about you, sweetie - I am the customer! Oh, wait - no longer a customer and now an honest reviewer --"

"This company is a fraud and will steal your money from your account and not provide any services! Ask me how I know? Because I am a living witness I informed them the system was not working and it was blacked out and service was not needed anymore. Yet they continued to withdrawal money from my account. I hope the money they have taken from a single mother striving to provide for her kids was useful and given to someone who has less than what I have at this moment. Who just takes from people and sleeps good at night this company? Run far away do not engage in their services it’s BS! Laura was the customer service agent who giggled as I told her how inhumane they were and has been very unhelpful throughout this process. Money was paid but I did not get any services for months they have taken my money."

The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits. Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
With the popularity of DIY security cameras and video surveillance systems, it’s important to understand the benefits and potential drawbacks to decide if it’s the right choice for you. Advantages and disadvantages include:
Pros
Video footage readily available
Reduced home insurance
Save on labor costs by installing security cameras yourself
Wireless systems are easy to move and set up
Monitor from your smartphone
Avoid false alarms
Cons
Features may be vulnerable to hackers
No direct link to authorities
Risk of installing the system improperly, reducing its effectiveness
Whether a security system or security cameras is a better choice for you depends on your needs and preferred comfort level. A security system can cost more depending on the features you choose, but it’s a more proactive and protective approach to home security by alerting you and authorities of any emergencies. Using a security camera system is a more reactive approach because while you can monitor the camera footage, it does not alert the proper authorities for you.
Understanding the pros and cons of installing a home security system is the first step to deciding which one is right for you. A few of the advantages and disadvantages include:
Pros
Added security for your household
Reduced home insurance premiums
Many smart home integrations available
Security companies can monitor your home
Cons
Expensive setup costs
Subscription costs can add up quickly
Features may be vulnerable to hackers
Weak signal reduces the security of a wireless system
