Honest advice from a reputable company

At ACS Alarms & CCTV ,we believe that customers should retain their options and choice on who they choose to install their alarm system specially when you may have a set budget and are looking to save money . Regulated Alarm installers can often charge up to 40% more for a system especially with the larger national companies. Many of the additional costs relating to the fact that they install in large industrial settings and banks where insurance requirements are substantially different. In the home security setting you will then be subsidising the industrial side of their  business with the higher price you pay for a home alarm. The regulators and insurance companies seem to have business interest with each other, some insurance companies misleading home consumers that their  alarm has to be installed by a registered alarm company giving the impression it is compulsory when it is not. It is the alarm equipment and the systems design criteria which make the system insurence grade and not membership of a privately owned regulator.

There are also still thousands of older alarm systems still installed in many homes that that do not comply to the latest  insurance grade. Homes owners at present are still able to purchase home insurance even if they still have one of these older alarm systems and yet when upgrading or purchasing a new intruder alarm system, insurance companies and security advisory web sites try to give the impressions you can't get insured unless you use these registered companies regulated by privately owened regulators. This is not true. In taking this advice pay up to 40% extra on the price of the alarm system from a regulated company in order to gain an average £20 premium discount. You can get insured even if you have no alarm installed at all. This is in fact a monopoly between unsurers, privately owned regulators and the installers.
