Is An Alarm Maintenance Contract Worth The Money?



In many cases, the answer is more often than not, "Yes!" Prices vary but are usually very reasonable.

A basic home alarm maintenance contract costs between £45 and £95 per year + VAT. But the spread of prices generally reflects what is included. A few alarm maintenance contracts include:

  • labour and replacement parts
  • call out charges
  • Up to three site visits a year
  • alarm monitoring checks
  • being a registered keyholder with the police

Do discover what your alarm maintenance contract is made up of. Several good alarm companies in Bristol offer 3 grades of maintenance contract for homeowners and organisations, according to the level of cover expected and the risk of your alarm going off.

It may seem obvious, but an alarm is only worthwhile when it is in a good state of repair. Alarms are subject to faults due to spider ingress, decorators disturbing them and just age. Getting a yearly health check for alarms is best practise. The law enforcement officers usually require maintenance contracts with monitoring to guarantee their attendance. Alarms which suffer continuous faults will receive no police response. If there are over three annual false alarms, officers of the law will no longer attend automatically. They usually request proof of work done on your alarm before they will again attend. A maintenance contract keeps your alarm in good condition and prevents the police striking you from their list!

Maintenance contracts reduce insurance premiums as well. Check out your insurance to see if you are eligible for reduced insurance premiums. Insurance companies like to insure where there is very little risk, if you have an alarm maintenance contract, then they will love you! As far as businesses are concerned, insurers want to see a maintenance contract before they will eventhink about covering your company.
