Unfortunately for them, I've run the numbers and the payback period would be far beyond my life expectancy because I don't use that much power. So far, they've been pleasant. If they go hard sell like the alarm companies, they won't like my reaction, at all.

I haven't seen alarm salesman for at least five years now.
