Guest RICHL Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 I would be very surprised if that price included the smoke detectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hi Dan, As stated above, it's a very easy install - especially if you're in the process of renovation as the property may be empty and so easier to left floor boards etc. Other points tho: keep your entry zones to a minimum - front door only is the best. Id recomend a PIR in the hall (on an entry or part entry zone) as it prevents false alarms on a morning. Do you have a dog/cat? Im assuming the kitchen is at the rear therefore it should be protected with either a PIR or a vibration detector on the window. Expect a keypad to be a little bit bigger than a standard light switch. I'd also like a PIR sensor in the detached garage, there is an underground pipe for the electrics can this be used or would a seperate pipe need to be laid? The surveyor would advise on this - if they can use it then the cable MUST be screened. Does your complete renovation include an electrical re-wire? If so then the sparky will be fitting smokes unless you tell him otherwise. Good reliable stuff: Gardtec, Galaxy, Menvier, Texecom (Premier range) but more inportant to get yourself a good, reliable installer. Your local crime prevention department will normally give out a list of approved alarm installers if you ring them and ask. 19330[/snapback] i thought 240v smokes with bb were mandatory on new intallations/additions?

Guest Guest Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Price seems a bit low, when you take the cost of the equipment off, theres not a lot left for labour, overheads and proffit. I would have a look round your locallity and see what bellboxes are up and if you know anyone who has a system, ask them what they think. And as the other guys have said get three quotes before doing anything. Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
