I've been installing a new wired Texecom alarm system over the Christmas period. Its made up of an external Bell Box, 4 PIR's, 2 magnetic door contacts, a veritas excel keypad and a Texecom control box (cant remember the product name off hand). It's taken quite a while to install as its meant channeling walls and upping most of the floorboards in the house! lol But its finally all wired up and in place. All except the main control box that is. I'm no electrician and this is all new to me so I am almost certainly going to get a professional in to wire it up to the mains.
How does it get wired up to the mains though? Should it be wired via a fused box then up to the breaker box and put on it's own breaker? What's the best way. I think it's gotta be a pretty simple and quick job given that the control box and house electrics are in the same room and just need connecting, but I'd like to know how its done so I can see how much I should be paying a professional to install it. So far I've been given a quote of a ton, and I think it's more like £30-£50 as it should only take 15 mins (I think). Advice on this would be much appreciated.
