Whether you live near Atlantic Ocean, on top of Mount Rogers, if you prefer the summer highs of 87 degrees or the winter lows of 26, and you call Virginia home. This state has a lot to offer:
Security systems help protect you from potential break-ins. Your home has a 1 in 261 chance of being burglarized, according to statistics from the FBI and the census.1, 2 You can reduce these odds to as much as 1 in 783 with a professionally monitored security system. Research has shown that homes with security systems are approximately 3 times less likely to be the target of a burglary.34
Property crime in the Old Dominion happen about 2,552 times every month, which is 2% less than the national average. Additionally, burglaries in this state decreased from the year before, which is good news. Despite this decrease it is important to remember there are still over 589 break-ins every week.2
ADT in Virginia helps deter would-be burglars. A study conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice reported that 9 out of 10 burglars targeted homes without security systems4.
Virginia currently has 5.70% unemployment; and this rate has been about the same for a few years.1 There are over 446,688 people in Virginia who lack a stable source of income.1 Researchers at UC Berkeley conducted a study and found that when unemployment rises, so does property crime. So it is unlikely that the number of break-ins will decrease anytime soon.5
With approximately 2,284 VA break-ins and an average loss of $1,608 per break-in, burglary costs Virginia $3,674,181 annually.1 You can get 24/7 professional alarm monitoring from ADT in VA for three years for the same amount you could lose if your home is broken into.1
As many as 54% of burglaries in Virginia 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. Which means the burglar has a good chance of getting in and out, unhindered. Because of this disparity, it is important to help ensure the fastest possible response time.2
No matter the time of day, ADT in Virginia is ready to respond, thanks to 24/7 alarm monitoring. Interconnected ADT Customer Monitoring Centers respond to 93,000 alarms every day. These monitoring centers are interconnected and interface with 38,000 local response services, to help ensure the fastest response possible.
ADT monitoring is not only helpful in case of break-ins, or helping prevent them, but it is also useful in case of fires or floods in your home.
Ground seepage can be an issue for many Virginia homes, due to low elevation and high precipitation. Ground seepage most often occurs after there has been a lot of rainfall in a short amount of time. When an area experiences a great deal of rain, the water table rises and flooding can occur. ADT monitored 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 were in residential buildings, causing $7.1 billion in property loss. Virginia has 601 fire departments or roughly one fire department for every 5,031 households. 8
Virginia only experienced 96 fire deaths in 2010. This number is well below the national average.6 Still, according to a 2009 report from the National Fire Protection Association, a household can expect as many as 5 fires in an average lifetime.7
When you have ADT heat and smoke detectors, if temperatures spike or smoke appears, these sensors will sound an alarm. ADT monitoring professionals can alert the local fire authorities as you evacuate, if the situation warrants.
