I've recently moved home where the 10 year old Texecom Premier Elite 48 needs attention. Various Error messages and battery warnings are showing. I can Alarm and Disarm system using either the 4 digit code or the Prox key fob. I do not have any codes.
The Texecom alarm was previously serviced by the installing company 6 years ago. They just sent me an estimate for £280 plus vat to initially "Recommission the system" (parts probably extra) and were keen to offer 6-montly servicing (at a reduced price, moving forward) and ongoing monitoring to alert the police.
I then rang the only other local company. They said they will only service or look at systems they've installed themselves.
Two electricians I spoke too said they previously looked at alarms but now thats too much hassle and, in any event, not knowing the Engineers' Code is a problem.
It's not that I object to paying for a service but I'd rather not be tied into a relationship. Ideally I'd like to find an independent alarm engineer. I live near Loughton, Essex / East London.
I'm thinking of replacing the wired Texecom system with a Yale wireless system.
Any tips would be appreciated.
