Hi,
I've lived in the house for nearly 10 years, the alarm system has been working fine, apart from a battery replacement when the house was rewired about 8 years ago. (Keypad, 3 sensors and front/back alarm box) - so not a big installation.
No idea when it was installed or which model it is.
The concern I have is that the Alarm Panel is located under the landing floor-boards, so when it came to battery replacement the carpet and floorboards were pulled up to change over.
I'm now coming to redecorate and I guess it's an opportunity to change the location.
Given this type of task, moving the alarm panel (eg airing cupboard in bathroom, loft, etc) would entail re-routing the power as well as the various connections.
Options I'm considering are: whether to leave alone, get some quotes to have the panel moved; or if it would be "simpler" to have a like-for-like new system installed with the panel suitably located.
If anyone can offer some advice from past experience it would be very much appreciated. If I should do something about it, any approximate costs would be helpful - I'm based in Leicestershire.
Many Thanks
