goncall Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Yes, I think he may well get certified .... B) a bit harsh,at least hes aiming in the right direction,he doesnt tell people he's chubb or adt,i think he will do ok,seems to be trying to do things right,but as usual the alarm snobbery raises its head.. youve got people on the dole who wont ever work coz there lazy and take everthing,he's out at work keeping his family in a home..respect to him..

fastalarms Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 I knew when I first posted that I would recieve posibly a frosty reception I even said so on the first post that it was likely to be a baptism of fire. However I am very pleased to see that I have also found a place where I will be able to get good advice when needed. I have had a more positive response than negative so thanks to all for that. I am in a catch 22 situation , even when I start adding the 6662 grade 2x systems I will still be battling against convention as insurers will insist on NACOSS or SSIAB to their policy holders so I will still have to try and work on price to gain business. its going to be another tough year and I will probably need to get a day job and run the alarms evenings and weekends until I reach that stage. With the YALE stuff I only need to double my current level of installs to have a secure footing but wether that is possible I don't know as the market size is unknown to me as a newby. certainly some weeks I get six to do and then other weeks I get zilch. Certainly the home alarm business is suffering from the credit crunch right now thanks to less people moving home. 50% of my clients are people who have been burgled the rest was split 25/25 with people who had moved house or people who decided they wanted am alarm before they get burgled. The people moving homes part has definately tailed off and certainly some alarm companies near me who were running a few vans and staff installing to new build estates with contracts will be laying off staff and activily seeking the same private clients I will be trying to get with the 6662 stuff I will be offering so I don't think it will be an easy ride. Onse again thanks for your advice..you will be hearing from me when I get stuck installing a powermax. The one thing that is for sure is they won't be as easy to install as the YALE. I hear the scanny ion16 is an easy install so hopefully my local supplier will have those in stock too. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpotter Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 To all. I am reviewing the advice I give to clients. Well done that man. Makes sense if your in the industry for the long haul. I will probably need to get a day job and run the alarms evenings and weekends until I reach that stage. Unfortunately alarms & customers have a habit of needing attention when inconvenient to the engineer.

gregob Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 A lot boils down to what the client can afford and preference. I've been installing visonic powermax for past 3 - 4 yrs, had very few problems, people turning their nose up at installation price now which is the average price. The Yale system can be purchased for just over half the price and does the same job as in protecting clients premises and notifying them too.

Joe Doherty Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I have noticed a few Yale Security Point sounders about recently, look like dummy risco XS3D or could be a wireless bell so that's a good starting point, its just what's in at the guts end of it, Yale installing risco gear ?
