FAQ's

What you need to know about Security Installation, Repairs and Upgrades

Alarm Systems

Q. Why is my alarm system going off for no reason?

A: False alarms are usually caused by faulty sensors, low batteries, loose wiring, pets triggering motion detectors, or weather interference on outdoor beams. A professional inspection can quickly identify and fix the issue.

Q: How much does it cost to install an alarm system in Gauteng?

A: Costs depend on the size of the property, number of sensors, beams, and whether it’s wired or wireless. We provide tailored quotes based on your specific security needs.

Q: Can I upgrade my old alarm system without replacing everything?

A: Yes. In many cases, we can upgrade control panels, add outdoor beams, integrate mobile app monitoring, or replace outdated components without reinstalling the entire system.

Q: My alarm battery keeps beeping – what does that mean?

A: This usually means the backup battery is failing or there is a power supply issue. Replacing the battery or servicing the panel typically resolves the problem.

Q: Can my alarm system connect to my phone?

A: Yes. Modern alarm systems can be integrated with mobile apps so you can arm, disarm and monitor alerts remotely.

Pricing & Costing FAQs

Understanding Our Rates Please note: Every security system and home installation is different. While we provide estimated ranges below, a physical site inspection is almost always required for an accurate, binding quote.

Unfortunately no. Many customers prefer phased solutions (e.g., start with alarms & CCTV now, automate gates later). We’re happy to structure phased installation options and discuss payment arrangements — ask for details when you request a quote.

Q. Why does the final price sometimes differ from the initial quote?

Real properties often have hidden conditions like old wiring, blocked channels or structural obstacles that affect labour. We always do a site assessment and give you a transparent final price before work begins.

It depends on your layout. Most homes require coverage at the gate, driveway, main entrances, and backyard areas. A site assessment ensures optimal coverage without blind spots.

Yes. Many systems can be upgraded to HD or 4K without completely replacing your existing setup.

General Payment Questions

Do you charge for quotes?

No. We offer free, no-obligation site assessments in our primary service areas (Sandton, Fourways, Randburg, Midrand, etc.). We need to see the job to give you a fair price.

Does my insurance cover tree felling?

Generally, insurance does not cover preventative maintenance (cutting a tree before it falls). However, if a tree has already fallen due to a storm and damaged your property, your insurance usually covers the removal and repairs. We can provide detailed invoices to assist with your insurance claims.

Do I have to pay a deposit?

For standard garden services, payment is usually monthly in advance or on the day. For large landscaping or tree felling projects over a certain value (e.g., R5,000+), a 50% deposit may be required to secure the booking and cover specialised equipment hire.
