FAQs

What are the benefits of a security system?

Security systems offer various benefits, including deterring crime, providing evidence for investigations, and potentially reducing insurance premiums.

Can a security system reduce my insurance premiums?

You may be entitled to receive a discount if your intruder alarm meets your insurer's requirements. You might invalidate your insurance cover if a burglary occurs when you had left the property without setting the alarm.

Check with your insurance company when you apply for or renew a Policy to avoid losing out. If you are using an insurance broker to arrange your insurance, make sure they check this for you.

How much does a security system cost?

Security system costs depend on factors like the type of system, complexity, and installation location.

We're happy to offer advice and expertise.

Do I need to maintain my system?

Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the security system functions correctly and reliably.

Will pets affect my home security system?

No, we can install “pet-immune” detectors that will ignore the movement of your pets without compromising the security of your home.

Are pet-immune detectors expensive?

No, they cost slightly more than standard detectors.

Can I have a system that allows me to protect the downstairs part of my home whilst my family are asleep upstairs? If it is possible, does it cost a lot more?

All professional alarm systems usually allow 3 different setting options. It is very common to alarm the downstairs at night. There is no additional cost.

If my insurance company hasn’t told me to get an alarm, should I get one anyway?

We think so! Burglary is a traumatic crime. It’s not just the loss of your possessions, but the time and effort involved in getting back on track. For a relatively low cost you can reduce the risks of a successful burglary, so why take the chance?
