Free Security System Installer
Service Agreement
One faulty sensor or a botched wire and a client will sue you for every cent a thief steals. Without a signed contract, you're not an installer; you're a high-stakes gambler playing with your own mortgage.
Pro Contractor Tip
Always include a 'Limitation of Liability' clause to ensure you aren't personally responsible for the value of the property you are monitoring.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Security System Installer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle a client who wants to add 'just two more cameras' while I'm already on the ladder?
Scope creep is a profit killer, so point to your 'Change Order' clause and don't pull a single extra wire until the new price is signed and paid for.
The customer is refusing the final payment because they 'don't like' the interface—what now?
Use your 'Final Acceptance' clause to prove the hardware meets the original specs; if the lights are green and the feed is live, they owe you the check regardless of their personal taste.
Who covers the cost if I hit a hidden water line inside a wall they told me was clear?
Your contract needs a 'Pre-existing Conditions' clause that puts the burden of identifying obstructions on the owner, keeping your bank account safe from their bad blueprints.
