There are many different types of home alarms to choose from.
Below is a brief introduction to the most common options:

• Bells-only burglar alarms – A bells-only burglar alarm emits a loud siren to alert people nearby when an intruder enters your property. This will ensure both those in the property and neighbours are alerted of the intrusion and can take action.
• Dialler burglar alarms – A dialler intruder alarm is a little more sophisticated as it automatically contacts you or the authorities when the alarm is triggered.
• Smart burglar alarms – Smart burglar alarms are, as their name suggests, smart. Using progressive technology, these alarms can be managed via a dedicated mobile app. Individuals with the application downloaded to their device will receive notifications when the home alarm is sounded, enabling them to contact the emergency services immediately.

Burglar alarms are created in a way that sounds off an alarm when an unwanted intruder has entered a prohibited area of your home, garden, garage or drive. While great in catching intruders in the act, burglar alarms also work as highly effective deterrents. According to a recent study, over 80% of burglars would refrain from targeting a home that has a visible burglar alarm/siren on the exterior. This means that burglar alarms are not just for scaring burglars out of a home but can stop would-be burglars from targeting your home altogether. This encourages great peace of mind at home and creates a tone of safety in your humble abode.

Although investing in alarms is great, ensuring they are working fully and effectively is important. This is because if left idle, such devices can begin to experience faults. And, the last thing you need is to experience a security issue and your equipment not pick it up.

This is why we advise home burglar alarms to be serviced at least every 12 months. These visits are what we call ‘health checks’, designed to ensure devices are fully functional and best protect your family home. A typical health check will include:

• A discussion of any issues experienced.
• An inspection of all major parts for any signs of damage.
• A full check of the condition of the device, including signs of problems, water damage, dust, dirt and so on.
• Sounding the alarm.
• Any necessary cleaning.
• A test to ensure all sensors are operational.
• And much more

Please note that all health checks will be completed by a competent, highly-trained engineer within the business.
