Hi,
hope someone can advise on costs i can expect for replacing Panel,keypad,bell and zone batteries on a Pyronix alarm for a house?
As I have just been quoted £129 plus vat?
EDIT this is just for the batteries, not the fitting
kind Regards

hi thanks for getting back, was a little shocked to see this added to my annual service and app subscription with the invoice totalling £340 inc VAT, have questioned the charges with company.
looks like charge is for 3 x Deltabell wireless sounder new battery, 6 x cr123a lithium battery and 1 x enforcer panel battery, does £129 plus vat still sound a lot?

What app subscription wifi or Gprs ?

What app subscription wifi or Gprs ?

It’s for the Wi-Fi, homecontrol2.0 app subscription is £36 plus vat

Think that is the total I’ve posted above ….just one other thing maybe they are charging you for 2 x bellbox battery packs as you need 2 for the bell and 1 for the keypad ( they are now sold as single packs where as before you had to buy the pack with 2 batteries )

Charges vary across the country. Travelling time and area location affect hourly rate.

Apparently that price was supply only ?
If fitted then price would be ok ….

We would charge parts plus 20% for the big device batteries and £5 for sensor batteries so we wouldn’t be a million miles away on parts.

As for subscriptions we charge under the normal rate for Wi-Fi connected, GPRS. We would charge around £36 plus the app connection so it’s around £70 plus

System sounds relatively small so if you were inside our normal catchment area that would be £75 plus parts, which is likely to go up due to cost of living increases. If you were outside our normal area then we would charge to cover travel expenses.

It soon adds up.
But hope this give you an idea of costs.
