Hope someone can help.....
We have a Friedland SA5 6 zone wireless alarm system that I installed
approx
five years ago, and have maintained since. This unit is very similar to
Yale
wireless alarms so one or othe is probably a rebadged version.
Anyway we've recently changed house building& contents insurer. Our new
insurer is insisting that there is a maintenance contract in place. I've
been phoning round& consistently failing to find a company who will
take on
a diy installed system.

Are there security companies out there who will maintain diy installed
alarms? or will I have to give up& get an equivalent approved system
installed at vast unnecessary expense.
Location is Ealing, West London.


Since you maintain it yourself, set up your own maintenance company, and
sell yourself a contract!

A cunning plan indeed, but insurance companies are notorious for weasling
out on the slightest excuse, so my original question still remains
unanswered.

Are there any companies that will maintain a diy fitted burglar alarm.

A more useful question is whether the discount you get on your
insurance is more than you would have to pay for a maintenance
contract on a DIY fitted burglar alarm, even if you could find one.

Sounds a tad unlikely to me and you can get a ballpark estimate
just by looking at the price they charge for the maintenance of
a burglar alarm system that they themselves have fitted.
