- We annually pass all random, unannounced UL inspections and re-certifications to assure continued compliance with their strict criteria.
- Insurance carriers throughout the United States recognize our UL rating, as evidence that we have attained that critical standard of excellence by which all Central Monitoring Stations are measured.
- HSMC can provide Customers with a certificate verifying that they are being monitored by a UL approved Central Monitoring Station. Often they will be eligible for reduced insurance premiums, which can frequently offset a portion of their monitoring costs.
- UL requires comprehensive security measures for all approved monitoring facilities - with strictly limited access to the Central Monitoring Station and special burglary alarm protection within the premises.
- In addition to the burglary alarm protection that UL requires for Central Monitoring Stations, HSMC's own building has an alarm system that provides detection for fire, panic, medical alert, generator alert, and gas detection. As an added safety measure, another UL Approved Central Monitoring Station monitors our facility!
