we install a domestic intruder alarm from under 500 for a monitored system, for ONE year
after that its up to the client if they wish to continue the monitoring
for that it is (dependant on the comms protocol) from under 190 per year.
i do know where you are coming from Aunt Daisy will set you up a system from 199 then 36 payments of 23 + vat
for so called monitored full service set up.
if you want a yellow box (thats all it is, a yellow box) on the outside of you house, all well and good,
if you want to pay Aunt Daisy all that money,
thats up to the individual client.
we do not, and have never done, tied people into anything but a one year contract, 9as the monitoring fees are paid in advance)
after the first year you can do what you want, if the client stays with us, all well and good, if they don't want to, all well and good.
you seem to have the opinion that ALL alarm companies do the Aunt Daisy thing, sorry but you are so far from the truth, its painful.
get some quotes for your own house, and then post here and explain what you have been quoted!!
we're all entitled to our opinion on things, but it is always better if you have the relevant information BEFORE you bring it to the table for discussion.
as i, and others have stated, there re a few people here that do this for a living, and no we don't RIP people off for thousands of pounds, and tye them into a 30 quid a month for ten year agreements.
so please before you continue to give out mis leading and ill informed information. look into the topic that you are winging about,
and if you don't like what you read, don't read it, simple really
well i am going back to word on my PC to finish a quote for yet another installation of an approved intruder alarm system for another site, that has just been purchased by a loyal long term client.
good luck in you quest to try to foil an intruder with a door bell.
