Frequently asked

How fast is your monitoring response?
Reliant customers are backed by Becklar’s professional monitoring network. Becklar reports an average alarm-answering time of 9.4 seconds across six interconnected, UL-certified monitoring centers in North America. Once a signal is received, trained operators follow the appropriate verification and notification procedures.
Does Reliant offer 24/7 emergency service or technical support?
What runs 24/7 is professional monitoring — your alarm, smoke, and carbon-monoxide signals are watched and dispatched at any hour. Service calls and technical support are handled during regular business hours, and we schedule urgent service as quickly as we can.
Do I need to sign a contract?
Monitored plans typically start with a 36-month monitoring agreement, which is what keeps the monthly rate where it is. Month-to-month options are available in certain situations — tell us about your project and we'll lay out the choices before you commit.
Do you only work on homes, or commercial projects too?
Both. Reliant runs everything from single-family alarm systems to large commercial, industrial, and government projects — including video surveillance, access control, structured cabling and fiber, and audio/video. The same local team handles all of it.
Can I keep my existing equipment?
In many cases, yes. During an assessment we review the current hardware and recommend what is worth reusing or replacing. Initial consultations are generally free; any site assessment or design fee will be explained before scheduling.
Are you tied to one manufacturer?
No. Reliant is not locked into a single manufacturer or proprietary platform, so we design around the site's needs. When compliance standards apply, qualifying equipment and documentation are confirmed against the exact products and project requirements.
