Whether you live near Atlantic Ocean, on top of Mount Greylock, if you prefer the summer highs of 82 degrees or the winter lows of 17, you are one of the 6,457,189 people who call Massachusetts home. This state has a lot to offer:
Security systems help protect your home from burglaries. Your home has a 1 in 173 chance of being burglarized, according to census data and FBI crime statistics.1, 2 You can help decrease the likelihood of your home being targeted with professional alarm monitoring. Research has shown that homes with security systems are approximately 3 times less likely to be targeted for break-ins.34
More than 3,147 property crimes take place in Massachusetts every month, on average. Better than the national average. However, break-ins and other MA property crimes increased annually by 3102 in 2010. That's 59 more every week.2
ADT Massachusetts helps prevent break-ins by helping deter would-be burglars. A study conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice reported that 9 out of 10 burglars avoided homes protected by security systems4.
Massachusetts currently has 6.90% unemployment; and this number has been consistent for a few years.1 There are over 445,546 people in Massachusetts who lack a stable source of income.1 Researchers at UC Berkeley conducted a study and found a direct correlation between unemployment and property crime. So the annual number of break-ins will most likely hold steady.5
The average loss sustained by homeowners from a burglary in Massachusetts is $2,513. There were 1,888 break-ins in 2011, which means that {} lost approximately $4,746,422 from burglaries.2 For the same amount of money you could lose in a break-in, you can get more than three years of professional, 24/7 alarm monitoring from ADT Massachusetts. That adds up to approximately 26,000 hours of professional monitoring protection.1
According to local data, 60% of burglaries in Massachusetts take place during the day when homeowners are at work.2 Robbers spend an average of 8 minutes inside a home, while it takes law enforcement more than 11 minutes to respond in 62% of burglaries. Even with a response between 5 and 10 minutes in 21% of burglaries, that still means the burglar has a good chance of getting in and out, unhindered. Every minute counts when someone is in your home. That is why you need to help ensure the fastest possible response time.2
No matter the time of day ADT Customer Monitoring Centers are prepared to respond. ADT monitoring professionals are in contact with 38,000 local response agencies, and respond to more than 93,000 alarms daily.
In addition to helping prevent burglaries, ADT monitored security systems can offer early detection of flooding or fires.
Ground seepage can be an issue for many Massachusetts homes, due to low elevation and high precipitation. Ground seepage most often occurs after a lot of rain falls quickly. When an area experiences a great deal of rain, the water table rises as the water spreads out through the permeable rocks and flooding can occur. ADT flood sensors can send an alarm the instant moisture is detected in your basement from ground seepage.
In 2010, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 1.3 million fires. According to the National Fire Protection Association, 80% of the structure fires took place in residential properties, causing $7.1 billion in property loss. Massachusetts has 365 fire departments or roughly one fire department for every 6,860 households. 8
In 2010, there were only 35 fire related deaths in Massachusetts, which is comfortably below the national average.6 However the National Fire Protection Association still estimates that a single home can experience 5 fires in an average lifetime.7
Get ADT heat and smoke detectors for early warnings when temperatures in your home spike, or when smoke is detected. When either of these are detected, the alarm will sound and ADT monitoring professionals will respond. If needs be they will also contact the local authorities on your behalf as you evacuate to safety.
Help safeguard your home from intrusion, fire, flooding and more with a monitored home alarm system from ADT in Massachusetts.
