Gabriel Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 Hi, I've got a an Accenta Gen4 mini 8 zone alarm panel and remote key pad to install and configure, as a replacement to an existing alarm system, which has been removed and the new Accenta Gen 4 installed in its place. I am looking for an experienced electrician familiar with Honeywell Accenta Gen4 mini 8 Zone to wire in the existing wires and configure the system. Any help with recommending a good installer and idea of how much it'll cost? With thanks Gabriel. Quote

Basically you need to ask on an electricians forum because most on here don't install this panel the electrician will also probably be cheaper but you might not get much aftercare if that's the right word still maybe someone will charge you 400 quid if the cables are already installed Just now, al-yeti said: Basically you need to ask on an electricians forum because most on here don't install this panel the electrician will also probably be cheaper but you might not get much aftercare if that's the right word still maybe someone will charge you 400 quid if the cables are already installed What area of the country are you?

james.wilson Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 What area you in. Make sure you check the support you get electricians don't tend to support things, maintain, out of hours etc Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

sixwheeledbeast Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Why not get a bricky to do your chipping or a plasterer to tile the roof... While some electricians maybe competent at fitting alarms many are not, some of the worst systems I have seen where fitted by electricians. If you knew you wanted the alarm replacing you would have been better getting quotes to do this before buying and replacing the panel. I wouldn't want to fit customer purchased kit as I can provide no warranty on it, you then have issues when it goes faulty. People think they are going to save money by buying the kit themselves but trade don't get it any cheaper, it just limits your options really. 1 Quote
Specialist Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Thought we all did this sort of thing, I've got a mechanic coming next week to re roof the house. Hope he does as good a job as the real roofer. Anyone who thinks the local sparky is going to do a Better or Cheaper job fitting an Alarm system is seriously Barking up the wrong tree. Most of them charge a lot more and sure don't have the experience to do it properly. All I can say to the OP is good luck, your probably going to need it. Quote Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us.
datadiffusion Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) First house I ever rewired the plumber had started the job off (perfectly legal pre-2004, if not stupid) and then disappeared. When I questioned the 100mA RCD, the lady didn't really know what I was on about, but then said 'oh he mentioned that I think, apparently they'd run out of something or other but he said this was just as good'.

This country is weird Rcbo should be standard instead of flaffing around with split boards Quote
sixwheeledbeast Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Everything is down to cost as always. I love to see the end of the RFC and Type A RCBO's as standard. As always it will take someone getting injured to make this become the standard. Quote

Yes here we pay over the odds for standard gear lol What's the crack with the type A over others I never looked at that Quote
