Why Should I Upgrade
My House Alarm?

We hear about crime rates on the news every day, and many of us worry about keeping our loved ones and our homes secure. If you have a house alarm fitted, then you need to consider when it will need upgrading so that it complies with all current guidance.

Surely a House Alarm Is Secure Regardless of When It Was Installed?

Many people believe that any house alarm is effective despite its age, but the sad reality is that it isn't. New security guidance, British Standard requirements and thieves being more tech-savvy are all reasons for needing to update your system every now and again.

It’s Not Just About Burglars

Burglars are renowned for knowing all about alarm systems and can often find weaknesses that you were not even aware of, meaning that the older the system, the less secure it is. Whilst it is true that burglars are one of the biggest reasons for upgrading, other issues make it necessary to change your system every once in a while.

Adding house extensions, wires being damaged or changing electrical systems will all cause you to need to upgrade your system. It is a sad reality that many of us think our alarm is foolproof, and yet it has already sustained damage that we are unaware of.

What Are My Upgrade Options?

If you are planning on upgrading your system soon, you can choose between a wireless, wired or monitored system and each come with their pros and cons. Whatever you choose, it's wise to talk to an alarm specialist before you spend any money as they will advise you on what is the best system for your home.
