Your security system requires regular maintenance in order to continue working correctly. Over time, sensors and detectors collect dust and cob webs that clog your sensors, reducing their sensitivity and ability to detect motion, heat or smoke, wires connected to security devices can become damaged or work themselves loose and backup batteries will run down and lose their ability to hold a charge.
Standards Australia – the peak standards organisation in Australia – recommends security systems be professionally serviced every six months (AS2201). Many home insurance policies require that a home security system complies with this standard in order to qualify for a security system discount.
Our technicians can carry out maintenance checks to ensure your security system remains in optimal working order.
A maintenance check typically involves testing your alarm panel, inspecting sirens, tampers and strobe lights, inspecting, testing and cleaning sensors, checking power supplies and backup batteries and verifying that no sensors have been compromised by building alterations, paint, partitions, furniture and other obstacles. We will also test and replace batteries in remotes and wireless sensors, inspect visible wiring and conduits, test keypads and verify codes.
