cats as a pet for those who wish to own them - no problem. them with cats. or dogs for that matter. should not be allowed to let the pets roam and crap in the street, in my garden / gardens, parks anywhere except the owners house, why should i have to inspect my garden before the kids can...

yer you charge nearly £300 for a battery change, that includes £200 to get in a van and drive to someones house (disguised as a call out "charge")

wet room will not be left unguarded, cant see any problem what so ever in making a pir ip rated through silicon, or i suppose a external pir used in the wet room would sufice.

i may but then, that would just mean running a ton of cables upstairs back to panel, im thinking if i put the expander downstairs, its only then 1 cable back to the panel, and lots of cables to the downstairs expander, rather then more hole drilling and floor board lifting. heres one for you...

or trying to £300 to change a battery is a damm right disgrace, because thats what we talking about a battery change, that was the ops thread, that was the ops posts, like i say people are not daft, this has only been about a alarm battery panel change @ nearly £300. no different from a hard...

anyway, cup of coffee time before i go back upstairs, go some horrible vinyal tiles to take off the floor boards before i can lift them to run some more alarm cables. debating wither to put a expnader downstairs for the 6 zones + speakers, i need for the 2 sheds.

and whats so special about a alarm fitter? why do they deserve premium wages? why do they deserve nearly £300 to change a battery? - truely disgusting. like i say changing a hard drive in a pc, is probably more time consuming then a abttery change in a domestic alarm panel, not even pc world...

@ bernard, thats his problem, not those that are confident enough to change a battery on a alarm, and save over £250. a average minimum wage worker, having to work a week, to give his full weeks wages to a company to change his alarm battery is just not on, had the compnay quoted him £50 to...

would never have anything but a htc now, been using htc desire for nearly 2 years, contract upgrade in next few weeks, going to have the htc one x.

knowing batteries, you could go on a 2 or 3 week holiday, it would most likely be when you was on holiday when the batteries started to go flat and cause problems.

no mate thank you, for showing just what you were going to be charged for a battery change, very interesting indeed.

job done indeed, cash saved (a hell of alot of cash) and one overcharge avoided, the more people that do as you have done the better!

just out of interest, on a wireless pir, do these still have wall tamper switches? so if i was to pull a wireless sensor off the wall would the alarm go off? what about if i at the same time removed the battery from one of these pirs?

dont think its on its last legs

how old is your outdoor bell box op?

good afternoon.

op i wish you well, ive got my fingers crossed for you when you go for the diy battery swap, be sure not to recomend that company to anyone at £282 replacement battery costs. and if you ever do wanna go for a new alarm system, some of the people on here will be only to happy to help you, i...

no associated alarms, your the one who has been banned on several occasions, and who has come back after another name change, it is you who has been in several threads just these past few days which are now locked, it is you that often has your posts deleted. this is a diy forum, not a trade...

lol nearly £300 quid for a battery change, not forgetting this compnay will more likely be claiming the vat back job done, alarm cash cow exposed, £150 to stick a £10 max door contact to a door.
