Outdated Alarm Systems
Wondering If You Have Outdated Alarm Systems in Your House?
One situation that I run into quite often is people with “ outdated ” alarm systems who no longer use them. No exaggeration, I probably run into about three or four of these clients per month. The customer had the system put in their home when it was first built in the mid 90’s, early 2000’s and they don’t use it because they think it is old. Most of the time, the customers explain that they have had the system for twenty odd years and never did anything to it so they assume it does not work anymore. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I am pretty sure that just because you’ve had a product for an extended period of time, it isn’t just going to stop working all of a sudden. This blog will show you how easy and affordable updating your old system is.
After making a few jokes about the situation and explaining that if they never had an issue before, then they should not have any now, we get into the details of their system. Most houses that I have come across from the 90’s or 2000’s have been hardwired , which in our industry is a dream come true . The great thing about hardwired products is that you never have to worry about changing batteries and you can always use the products installed in the home unless the wires have been damaged. Most people are shocked to hear this, and I don’t blame them because they have never been educated on this.
The next step of the process is explaining that all we have to do is swap out a few different products such as the control panel (brains of the system) and keypad . Do not worry; this is not going to cost you an arm and a leg . Seeing as how you have all of the equipment already hardwired in your home and we are just replacing one or two products it is an extremely reasonable price to have this done. After having replaced the keypad(s) and control panel we will do a thorough test of the system to make sure everything is working correctly. Once the work is completed our technician would should you how to properly work the new keypad that you have put in and you’re good to go.
If you’re thinking to yourself “ well I want all of the latest technology ” that is not an issue, by changing the control panel and keypads you will now have the ability to add onto your system and get all of the latest industry trends. The next time you think you have an “ outdated ” system think back to this article and realize that your system can actually be just as good as or better than your neighbor who just had a system installed yesterday.
