    Reasonable quote for new alarm?

    I found out about the monitoring phone call costs today. The number is an 0871 so would be chargeable. However, for a one off fee of £20 this could b changed to a local rate so therefore be in my call allowance. I've ordered a phone line with sky and they said they'll have to keep me on BT's...

    Reasonable quote for new alarm?

    I don't think the company who have quoted could it it for that. I specced up the kit and it was around £300 on its own! For the cost of the maintenance and monitoring I'm not too bothered. It was just the install cost I was concerned about. However, they're getting around £300/400 for the...

    Reasonable quote for new alarm?

    Reasonable quote for new alarm?

    The exact figures are £73.80 maintenance and £73.80 monitoring ex vat. I'm aware there will be the one off £50 urn fee. This does seem a lot cheaper than someone like adt (not that I would go there anyway)

    Reasonable quote for new alarm?

    I've just purchased my first property and am currently decorating so figured it was a good time to replace the old alarm system and components. The current system is an Optima xm6 with Builtin keypad, a pir in kitchen and lounge and contacts on front door and two windows upstairs. There is a...
