Commercial intruder alarm servicing is crucial. It ensures your security system does its job as intended when you need it most. Without regular maintenance, your alarm could fail or trigger false alarms. This article gives you more details on why servicing your alarm is necessary, what happens during a service visit, and the benefits of different service contracts.

Key Takeaways

  • Regular intruder alarm maintenance is essential for reliable performance, reducing the risk of false alarms and preventing theft.
  • Maintenance contracts from Blake Fire and Security provide tailored service support, ensuring your alarm system remains fully functional.
  • Innovative SMART technology allows for remote management of alarm systems, offering business owners control and instant notifications, enhancing your overall security.

The Importance of Regular Intruder Alarm Maintenance

Consistent maintenance is crucial for your intruder alarm system's reliable operation. Skipping maintenance can cause issues like false alarms, unreliable performance and may even affect insurance claims. Regular maintenance ensures your intruder alarm system functions correctly, providing accurate alerts and minimizing false alarms.

Ignoring regular intruder alarm maintenance increases the risk of break-ins. This is a mistake, given that intruders can often burgle premises in less than eight minutes! Clearly, you need to keep your security system effective.

Insurance companies often require proof of regular alarm maintenance when determining premium costs and coverage. Given the high frequency of crimes against businesses, occurring nearly every minute in England and Wales, it's clear there's a pressing need for strong protection strategies. Regular servicing is crucial for ensuring the ongoing security and success of your business.

Comprehensive Maintenance Contracts for Commercial Premises

Securing a maintenance agreement for your security system is an intelligent choice, especially for those in the commercial sector. Blake Fire and Security provide a spectrum of service contracts—from standard to premium to custom-designed options—to align with individual business requirements. These agreements guarantee consistent oversight of your alarm systems, safeguarding against unexpected false alarms or breakdowns.

A standard contract typically covers routine checks and minor repairs, whereas premium plans can offer more extensive coverage. Blake Fire and Security, with NSI Gold and SSAIB accreditations, ensures that our work adheres to stringent industry standards.

What to Expect During a Maintenance Visit

During a maintenance visit, your intruder alarm system will receive a thorough check-up. This includes replacing batteries, testing sensor efficiency and potentially adjusting their positions for better detection. Routine checks help prevent security gaps and maintain the reliability of your intruder alarm system servicing.

Your engineer will arrive promptly. He’ll diagnose any issues swiftly and often remedy them while on site. This limits any interference to your business activities.

Regular service visits are essential for detecting defects that might otherwise go unnoticed during daily operations. By promptly addressing these issues, our engineers ensure your intruder alarm is always ready to protect your property from criminals. Regular intruder alarm maintenance prevents problems before they arise rather than just fixing them once they've caused issues.
