| Q |
Why should I fit a burglar alarm? |
| |
A |
Apart from greatly reducing the risk of being burgled it will ensure that if intruders enter they dont stay in your property for more than a couple of minutes.
For example, if the intruder wants your DVD machine then he might as well have it - you are insured (arent you). However it seems that in some cases there is a secondary reason - the burglar resents your perceived affluence and takes revenge by causing unnecessary destruction. The intruder is unlikely to stay on the premises while sounders and lights are flashing and the alarm is possibly being relayed to a third party via a communication device. |

| Q |
Why should I fit my own burglar alarm? |
| |
A |
The main reason is cost. You can make massive savings by fitting your own alarm. The other main reason is the fact that you are in control of the alarm system - you will have all the manuals, all the codes and will know exactly how the system is wired and programmed. As such, if a fault develops then you will be able to fix it - rather than having to call out the (expensive) alarm engineer. |

| Q |
Does fitting an alarm require a lot of technical know-how? |
| |
A |
No! any competent DIY enthusiast can fit an alarm to a good standard. Like any other project, the first time is the most demanding and that is why we would recommend temporarily setting it up on your kitchen table to get to understand how everything works together. |

|
| Q |
Will I get reduced contents insurance because I have fitted an alarm? |
| |
A |
Unfortunately not. Reduced insurance (around 10 percent) is only given on properties whose alarm is fitted by one of their approved registered installers e.g. NACOSS approved installers. The approved installers are very expensive and you will be tied into their maintenance scheme. It could take years to recoup the cost by the reduction in your insurance. |
