DGMarsden Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 I admit that that sentence is a bit overkill! When the installation is complete I will let you know the outcome and how it went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Can he say that..? He`s basically saying any system except his are ****.. 43515[/snapback] I'd tend to agree but doesn't every manufacturer of anything ever say that about anything else ever made etc... Winds me up when the adverts come on the telly, (I could go on, but I won't)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RICHL Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 The only reason I can see for installing monitored systems at that price is to get as many contracts on the books as possible, in readyness for selling the business at the best possible price.

Does this seem quite reasonable? It has been quoted by a very large firm local to me. Any advice would be greatly apreciated hi the monitoring ,if its for a digi is very expensive - I pay £85.00/yr inc vat Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jb-eye Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 His price includes Full Cover, I doubt yours does..? 43565[/snapback] Ser/Eng. I agree with your observationThis is a dangerous statement. We charge £25 per month for a digi. This includes total maintenance. I am well aware that an average charge is £120 PA (i read this somewhere) but put the whole thing into perspective do you really think myself and //.National Installer.// can fit quality alarms for £150. the maths are simple low up front, higher ongoing or higher upfront lower ongoing. Personally i get sick of hearing about our competition claiming we must be fitting **** for the money just because they cant compete. and then saying move your system to us because you are being ripped off in maintenance charges. It’s a small minded attitude to judge on when you don’t understand the simple business possesses. I will not apologise for installing quality and making a profit. Profit is not a dirty word and no one should be ashamed to go out there and charge a fair price to give themselves and their staff a deserved lifestyle for all the hard work they put in. Please Don’t Judge without the facts! Jef Customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
