Many alarms are inherited with the purchase of a new house. It’s great to know that your new home has a burglar alarm fitted but if you don’t have the codes or instructions for how to use it, then it’s not offering you the benefit and protection that you hoped for.
Inherited alarms bring with them all sort of problems, even if you have the codes the alarm won’t necessarily be programmed for your needs and lifestyle. Inherited alarms don’t tend to come with instructions, or information on who to call if there is a problem. If you have pets you may find the detectors are too sensitive, with older alarms they may keep triggering and be causing a nuisance. Nobody wants to fall out with their new neighbors over an uncontrollable burglar alarm when they have only just moved in.
We regularly receive calls from customers with inherited alarm systems. While this can seem like a daunting problem for a home owner it is simple problem to fix for one of our skilled engineers.
We will visit and carry out a maintenance inspection which involves reprogramming and changing codes, offer you training on its use, testing battery to minimise nuisance alarms and fire risk, check detectors are operating correctly and advise on any issues or upgrades.
As an NSI (National Security Inspectorate) company we can offer reassurance on quality and skill.
We can offer a one off maintenance inspection to get you up and running with your alarm. We also offer monitoring packages through our Alarm Monitoring Station, meaning your alarm is working for you whenever and wherever you are. For 24/7 365 peace of mind we also offer an on call engineer maintenance package, ensuring there is always someone on call for a issue you have with your alarm.
