Needing Peoples Opinions On A Descent Grade 2 Install

[matt5595]

Hi, 

 

Just got a few options on a resent install that I'm going to quote for, firstly I'd like to ask if the person has previously been burgled and there system has been damaged as a result to this can they claim this on there insurance if the system was a grade1 system and it's never been altered since they moved into the property?

 

also got a number of ideas on a system I'd like to install the 1st been at the top!

 

1. Galaxy 2-20 with RF module & AG8 sounder, wireless PIR's &  with informa auto dialiier 

 

2. Galaxy 2-12 with double balanced zones and activ 8 PIRs' and informa dialler

 

3. Visonic promax wirless system

 

4. Acenta Gen 4 with lcd remote keypad, activ8 pirs, informer autodialler & ag6 sounder

 

Any opinions would be great!

If you can't issue a certificate from either SSAIB or NSI the grading means nothing.

Fit what you want how you want.

Yeah but he can still claim his insurance right?,

 

And of course the grade means something you can still get insurance lowered if you follow the guidelines of en50131 in terms of quality of install and documentation and tests carried out!

you can issue your own certificate of install along with commissioning documentation!

I'm not aware of any insurer that gives discounts on the work and/or ongoing maintenance of any non approved installer.

 

Well, I suppose they might be interested if it contributed to the house burning down.

I missed out some words

oh and a specification to 

yes but the alarm system was damaged by the burglars 

he want's to try and claim it as damaged property 

so can you still get reduced insurance rates as a non approved installer?

I dont understand fully here so the guy can claim insurance for the job if i were to be approved but to get his insurance rate lowered it only matters on the grade of the system installed?

and im not gonna just fit what i want how i want going to fit whatever i fit in line with the en50131, and also provide the client the best system for them

look I've had this problem before Im not that other guy if thats what you think!, I take pride in the work I do.  I take longer and dont charge the client more!, i like to know ive done a good job!

[matt5595]

Look it's an elderly person that has been burgled if the old guy can get it free off another company will advise him to do that and refer him to someone else I just want to do whats best by him really, in the meantime i want to put in a lower cost panel to keep him safe for now! for free

will he be able to get it for free if i refer him to a company that is certified?

The accenta isn't graded by the way

[matt5595]

so only the galaxy 2 is a grade 2 then?

[james.wilson]

The gal g2 and flex are grade 2 yes

[sixwheeledbeast]

so only the galaxy 2 is a grade 2 then?

 

There's lots of Grade 2 specified kit, I would suggest a search engine.

However, just because you install Grade 2 kit this doesn't classify a Grade 2 system.
