How often should my alarm system be serviced?

We recommend an annual service for all alarm and CCTV systems. Many insurance policies require annual maintenance to keep your alarm cover valid.

What does a maintenance visit include?

A full system check including sensor testing, battery replacement, camera cleaning, firmware updates, wiring inspections and a detailed service report.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Our maintenance contracts include annual servicing, priority call-out response and discounted repair rates. Contact us for pricing.

Can I monitor my security system from my phone?

Yes. All modern systems we install include smartphone app integration for remote monitoring, arming/disarming and receiving instant alerts wherever you are. drawing on lessons from previous New Eltham installations close to eltham new.

Do you offer any discounts for multiple properties on the same street?

We can sometimes offer preferential rates for multi-property installations in the same area. Contact us to discuss your specific situation. matched to New Eltham's mix of older and newer properties, especially toward eltham new.

How does a maintenance contract help with insurance renewal for a New Eltham property?

Insurers reviewing a policy at renewal often want confirmation the system is still serviced and working as certified. Our maintenance visit reports give New Eltham customers that evidence without needing a separate inspection.

What's the difference between a maintenance visit and a fault repair for my New Eltham system?

Maintenance is a scheduled preventative check, testing sensors, batteries and signalling before anything fails, while a fault repair responds to something that's already gone wrong. Both are billed and booked differently.

When should a new New Eltham system have its first maintenance visit?

Roughly twelve months after installation, in line with the standard annual schedule, though we're happy to bring the first check forward if a New Eltham customer wants extra reassurance during the initial settling-in period.

Can you work around opening hours at our New Eltham premises?

Yes. Most commercial work is done early, late or at weekends so trading is not interrupted. We agree the window at the survey and confirm it in the quote rather than assuming a normal working day.

Do you charge for a survey in New Eltham?

No. The survey is free and there is no obligation afterwards. An engineer walks the property with you, agrees what is needed and what is not, and you get a fixed written quote with kit, labour and aftercare itemised.

Equipment We Use for Security System Maintenance

Maintenance for older New Eltham systems often surfaces ageing components that should be planned for replacement, typically PIRs over 10 years, panel batteries over 5 years, and external sounders showing UV degradation. We provide a written upgrade path. A New Eltham annual service visit includes a full walk-test of every zone, confirming each sensor still reports correctly to the panel rather than relying on the panel's own self-check alone. For New Eltham access-control contracts, we audit the current user database at each visit, removing former staff or tenants who may have been missed during an informal offboarding process. On-street parking bays along Footscray Road mean engineer vans usually unload from the far side, so cable runs on this road are planned to cross under the drive rather than overhead. Properties overlooking New Eltham station tend to want a discreet housing colour rather than the standard white, so the kit doesn't stand out from that vantage point.
