FAQ

Why choose Building Controls?

We are a local, Maine-owned and operated company, based in Lewiston Maine. We do business honestly, ethically and up front. We choose not to use the fine print so common with those other "alarm companies". Our written customer agreements have no fine print, asterisks, or other gotchas. We don't like gotchas and we're pretty sure you don't like them either (Can you really read all the small print that flashes across the screen in the TV ads of those other guys?).

We believe in providing quality products and services that represent a great value. We want you to be pleased with your choice of system and service provider. We don't offer free systems- is there any such thing? Add up the cost of the long-term contract that is a mandatory part of the "free" system and you'll see that a free system can be pretty expensive. We don't offer system packages because your home or business doesn't fit into someone else's idea of security. We will provide a system that fits your needs, not some marketing manager's idea of what you should have.

We work with you to find a solution to your intrusion, fire detection, video surveillance, access control, telephone entry,  intercom, nurse/personal emergency call, or environmental monitoring requirements that is cost-effective, can be expanded as your needs change and solves your unique challenge. We love this stuff!
