      SECURITY FAQ

      • Why does my alarm panel keep beeping?
        • Answer: If you have a power cut then it may be a low power beep.

      • My outside bell will not stop making a noise, even though I have put my code in.
        • Answer: If the power is off then the panel battery is dead and the panel is itself now dead.

      • My neighbour is out and the alarm keeps going off, can you come and fix it?
        • Answer: No we are not allowed to unless we are a registered keyholder.

      • How long should a bell normally ring for?
        • Answer: They are normally set for 15 minutes.

      • How often should I service my alarm?

      • Can anybody service my alarm?
        • Answer: Normally yes, however it will probably need reprogramming first.

      • Can I have a wireless alarm installed in my house?
        • Answer: Normally yes, but this is subject to a survey. Some properties are not suitable i.e. if they have very thick walls, or lots of steel in the structure.

      • How long do alarm systems last?
        • Answer: We see regularly serviced systems that have been working for 15-20 years with no trouble. The only problem is obtaining spare parts when they go wrong.

      • How long do the batteries in the bell box usually last?
        • Answer: 10 years is a good guide.

      • How long does it take to install an average (3 bedroom house) alarm system?
        • Answer: Usually 8-10 hours.

      • Do the Police come out when my alarm goes off?
        • Answer: Only if you have an agreement and have been connected to a Central Station and they call them.

      • Is it really worth having an alarm system?
        • Answer: Yes, as a burglar will usually visit the house without an alarm. Contact us for your free security quotation today.
