Gardtec

[HardenLong123]

In general terms what is the view of Gardtec ?

I've had a quote for a new system (domestic) where one firm plan to fit a Gardtec 595 with eurosec PIR detectors

Another firm have quoted for a galaxy

The first firms price is more expensive (by about 300 quid) but I really respected the guy who is the owner of the company and also installs himself

The second firm sales guy was a bit unsure of himself and what he was suggesting

I have heard conflicting reports about gardtec-I am wanting an auto dialler system set up and not monitoring

Thanks

Hi

The total price was 1125 plus vat for 2 door magnetic contact sensors, seven PIR's, 2 keypads at front and back door a gardtec 04069 auto dial unit, external alarm unit, decoy box

The galaxy quote was more basically outlined and as mentioned I wasn't imbued with huge confidence from that guy but his quote was 800 quid plus vat

that is a bit ott imo, and the 595 has a dialler built in.

Do you think it would be the done thing to go back to the guy and aim for a "negotiation" on price given the cheaper quotes I've had

Plus, the guy hasn't quoted for including prox tags-which the other companies did in theor quotes

Galaxy every time for us.

how can you say its OTT you have not seen the job , it could have 20 hours labour on it as its a very large house???

Also if its a Galaxy 2 you will need a 1amp psu for 7 pir.

The wiring is in place from an existing scantronic 9100 system

I had heard some conflicting views about using the existing wiring and all quotes were given on the basis of new wiring
