The Importance of having your Alarm System Maintained!

Ever been woken up by your Alarm System in the early hours of the morning, you've entered your code and either the panel has locked up or it says "Low Battery"??? - Or have you been woken up by your neighbours alarm randomly going off when they are out and there is nothing you can do??? - Or have you been sitting in your house and the alarm starts beeping at you or activates for no reason???

If the answer is yes to any of the above questions, then your Alarm System is basically asking for a Service!

Alarm Systems, like cars require regular services or maintenance checks to ensure that they carry on working efficiently. These services should be taken out every 12 months by a qualified Alarm Engineer supplied by Crosby Intruder Alarms. Batteries should be replaced every 5 years, otherwise they may become a Fire Risk as they become hot and start to leak acid!!!

What do we do on a service?
  • We test all voltages within the main Control Panel to ensure that they are correct.
  • We test the standby battery to ensure that it will support the Control Panel in the event of a mains failure.
  • We fully "walk test" the system to ensure that each device operates correctly.
  • We test the external and internal sounder to ensure that they are operating correctly.
  • We inspect all flexible connections within the Control Panel to ensure that no terminals have worked loose over time.
  • We set and unset the alarm system and activate and reset it to ensure that the system is operating correctly.
  • We then fill out a service report and leave a signed copy with yourself, in case your Insurance Company ask to see proof that you have your Alarm System Maintained.
We do currently have a special offer advertised on our website for a special price which includes a replacement backup battery and we will even clean your detectors and vacuum them out to ensure that they are free from cob-webs and dust.

So if you haven't had your Alarm System maintained recently, then give Crosby Intruder Alarms a call free on 0800 917 1441 or look at our website http://www.crosbyintruder.co.uk/ at our special offers page for more information on our Health Check Special Offer!!

All of our Engineers are fully qualified and all are Police Vetted and we are an SSAIB Approved Company!

Please remember that you didn't have to have your Alarm System installed by ourselves to use this service providing that we can support the Control Panel in our portfolio of products.
