One of the difficulties with PERS Systems is the use throughout the industry of varying pricing structures. Often a system is sold to the end user with an additional monthly monitoring service agreement required. Sometimes the system is rented, with no up-front cost and monitoring included. Other times, the initial purchase price is the only cost involved.

There are several things to keep in mind when comparing the cost of various PERS systems

• Will you own your PERS system?
• Can the system be monitored by a central station?
• Who will provide the monitoring service?

There are advantages and disadvantages to owning your own PERS system. If you own the system, then you can take it with you should you move to a new home. A pure rental, on the other hand, might be upgraded or replaced if the unit should become defective or obsolete.

If you’re just paying a one-time purchase price with no monthly service agreement, you may not be able to have a monitoring company to provide assistance in the event of an emergency. Often these systems merely “dial 911″ and leave the emergency response up to the local 911 authorities.

Sometimes a system comes with a pre-arranged agreement with a monitoring company. While this may be convenient, it limits your ability to choose a higher-quality or lower-cost monitoring company.

Having these things in mind, it can be a minor hassle to compare the costs of various systems.
