menvier TS690 Battery

[lee2009]

so if you let them change your battery, thats a cost of £350 to relocate a panel, £282 to change a battery, thats £632 they would of had out of you.

My bet bad payer, complainer. So they upped the charges.
If wrong sorry, but this is a typical example.

how damm dare you think this about the op, still defending your trade with a bill for nearly £300 to change a battery

and £600 to relocate a panel, how on earth is that justifed, because thats what they were going to charge him, op you could of had a top of the range pro graded panel for under £100 (a texecom 48 for example) £600 to relocate says it all about this company, reducing it to £350 just finnishes it off

op have nothing more to do with these over chargers, have you had thoughts about renewing your alarm op? or is that something that you do not have any intentions of dooing?

How damn dare you assume without the full details.
As you have done all along.
Was the old contract honoured and paid in full?
Why has the OP not had 3 other quotes if dissatisfied?
Why do you make out you know something you do not?
We do not know all the details.
This could be a wind up for all we know.
It could also be true.

3 QUOTES would sort the issue.

Or my offer of a free reset.

Get it right.
A panel can be had off fleabay for that price - not fitted!!

The office, if i read it correctly, were honourable, the guy on the job less so. The company charged ballpark what they said they would.
Odd how you called them rogues before this info was mentioned though.

Your adding two separate situations here, to try and defend a loosing battle.

WHY NOT GET 3 QUOTES?
EVERYONE ELSE DOES.

What makes me laugh is the way disgusted from Northumberland is advising how to get top of the range this that and the other. Yet it was only a few weeks ago he didn't even know how to wire a basic detector.
Suddenly he's the peoples champion.

Misguided and dangerous.

 

[tryityourself]

Not forgetting the fact that this situation would not exist if the OP had been sensible and asked/paid the installers when he cancelled the contract.

And on that point. They have no reason to show loyalty to the OP has he himself broke all ties with them.

So, by not doing things the sensible way, it's potentially cost more money than it needed to.

Nice one.

I did not and do not owe them any money.

I kept the maintanance going for a couple of years after the initial installation.

 

[AssociatedAlarm]

He still does not, how long now and it is still not up and running?

texecom 48 incvat and delivey £82.62, yes not fitted, id hate to see how much they would charge to fit who mentioned ebay, you thread spinning troll.

now for the engineers code, yes op you hit this on the head, its so they hold you to ransom as a cash cow with holds over you, as you can see to take money from you at sky high prices.

no different to this, you own your car, but your bonnet relase swicth has a padlock around it, so you cant pop the bonnet to check the fluid levels top it up etc, only your garage has they key to your bonnet relase. you own your equipment, you also own any engineers code on that system (domestic), by holding the engineers code from you they are denying you the full use of your panel.

Then stopped it and called them after?

Why domestic all engineer codes are withheld. Its for insurance and to stop fools changing parameters and flucking the system up then blaming the installers.
As for the rest of your reply, not worth mentioning.

op im going to make a coffee, dont u dare tell me you was charged £600 to move a panel, then dwon to £350 when you complained, ill be back in 5, i aint even read your post but i will.

and now they want £282 to change the battery again? please tell me what you are saying is the same as im understanding?

you got any idear on how much money you have gave these people when they fitted it so far? can you put it on here please

12 years ago the system cost me £1100.

All the wires were already in place as it was a new build just waiting to except an alarm system of the house buyers choice.

The system consists of 4 pir's, a front door detector, an internal bell and an outside bell and a key pad to arm and disarm

I wasn't suggesting you do/did.
Once the relevant obligations of the contract were met, the installer no longer had any ties to you. Hence they could charge what they liked - as could others, whatever we agree/disagree about the prices.
By arranging to have the eng code removed, changing the battery would then simply cost you the price of the battery.
Hence my comment about this actually costing more than it needed to.

i will not allow if i can people to be ripped off or over charged - you defened your trades all you want, you already admit to people on here that there are theifs in your industry who steal goods then sell it on ebay, they get sacked and banned from the industry


so we have theifs and now we have companys charging £282 to change a battery that includeds a £200 call out charge, making more money from driving to customers house, then they do from a one hour labour charge,

and you are right i had no idear what eol was, as i had never came across this before, but it turned out its a very simple alarm feature of wiring.

op glad you have seen sense, get the engineers code off the ransom holders, and have a little think to your self about a possible new alarm panel in the futre which you remain the admin of and have full control of your system.

Yet more nonsense from the village idiot.
Clearly showing his total lack of understanding of both the subject and business.
