topalarms Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 However back to the original point, why would someone want me to pay to access a panel I own ie the original installer, when I owe them nothing, do not have a maintenance contract and do not need one as I believe I am a competent person as a retired Electrician/electronics engineer? No installer worth their salt will give you their engineer code but they should be prepared to default it or change it to one of your choice making a charge and then washing their hands of it.

If you read that and understand it with a level head you can see that what your asking just can't happen. They have no duty of service to you at all i'm affraid.

amateurandy Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I inherited the system when I purchased the property. Aha! Your "issue" if there is one is with the person who sold it to you, NOT the installer or anyone here. So, if you want to "get on a high horse" try your solicitor for a start, or the vendor, for not accurately describing what you (think you) purchased.
