fully interest in those key points, each and everyone of them, but a overcharger im not. £262 to fit and a replace a hd in a pc, £282 to change a battery in a domestic house alarm. readers, people like this guy do not want you to know the trade and reall prices of equipment, they want to...

very unlikely in a domestic repair of a hd in a customers house, but it seems you now need to be nasa trained to replace a hd in a domestic situation.

lol Liability, efficacy, responsibilty etc??, exactly the same when fittin a pc suite wiith networks.

phone has one battery, a high zone wireless will have lots of batterys.

the financal side of buisness in any buisness is the same. a team if alarm fitters, is no different to a team of pc fitters, build custom pcs to over £1000, and the testing, no different to people fitting alarm systems costing the same, id say both are on a equal footing in terms of...

if the op has specificaly and only asked for the a battery to be supplied and fitted then yes! - allowing a battery change for a responable exapample of £50 because thats what the op has asked for! errmm so they tell him he needs a service, they tell he needs that this and the other, that my...

you have not posted anything usefull, your trolling. ill make the point to you again, im going what off the op has said - end of. any company (going off op, with nothing in writing) charging £282 for a battery change is in my view a rip off over charge, lets see what would happen if some...

wireless = batterys = weak point, wired for me.

troll, mods as you have done on a few occasiions for me, please remove pointless posts rather then lock.

yes it should be left alive, until the op has a 100% working alarm panel.

alamr yet again you jump the gun, you are correct we don no no the full details, what we do know is what the op stated, £282 to replace the battery, so far now thats what im sticking with. im waitin for the op to come back and explain why he belives the battery is dead. when he comes...

Agreed When changing a battery i think a service is mandatory to make sure the system is operating properly. we are taking about price at the minute, also op why do you call them "my alarm company", how old is your system, did they install it? you under any kind of service plan with them...

and as this is a diy forum, why dont you anserw the op and tell him how to change it himself? or as i guess you are going to keep this knowledge to yourself, to enable companies in your industry to take nearly £300 from this man. says all there is to be said about you, youd rather him stump...

the op thinks its excessive too, so get over yourself. engineer gets job from his gaffer, goes to stores, gets battery, travels to ops house, takes lid off panel, maybe removes mains, installs battery, checks to make sure it is just a dud battery and not something gone on the panel, replaces...

read what the op posted, £282 to change the battery, to change the battery to change the battery, thats what he said. "My alarm people are charging £282 to come out and replace the back up battery in my Ts690. I think this is excessive" £250 is a rip off rougue trader advantage taking rip...

he has already been able to silence it with his code when he removed the lid. all he asked was about changing the battery, so i anserwed the question. as for the mains? thats up to him if he wishes to isolate, before changing the battery. i also told him that others would help him more...

im going to say, that you enter the engineers code, remove the lid from the panel, swap out the battery, put lid back on, exit engineers mode - job done. ah you dont have the engineers code, but your code silenced it when you removed the panel? so id say your code will be enough to swap over...

i dont install alarms, well i do in my own house, id of thought £50 would be a resonable price to supply and fit a new battery, and 20 mins is been generous to change a battery. look at it this way mate, youve just saved well over £250 quid by doing it yourself, like i say the other lads will...

not sure, but someone will help you on that, but glad you did not let your self be ripped off by that price to change a battery, that is a disgusting price, they could probably get the battery chepaer then you, so £250 labour for max 20 mins work? outlaws thats what they are for attempting to...

bet there aint a big enough gap either between the floor and bottom of the door, as john refers too.
