Smart Burglar Alarm Installation Specialists
Servicing and Preventative Maintenance
For over three decades, Midland Alarm Services has emphasised the paramount importance of regular system checks. Much like a car requires periodic inspections for optimal performance, so does your alarm system. A diligently serviced alarm doesn’t just ensure smooth operation; it can also be a determinant in home insurance claims. In fact, many insurance companies may deem a claim invalid if the alarm system isn't set when your house is unoccupied or if it hasn’t undergone its annual service.
What Our Annual Service Covers
Comprehensive checks on all detectors, ensuring they operate flawlessly
Verification that both internal and external sounders are functioning
Assessment of the system's back-up battery health
And, for your peace of mind and ours, once we've serviced the system,
we provide a 12-month warranty that covers both parts and labour. If an issue arises, you can trust us to rectify it promptly

Q
How long does a service take?
A
Between 15 minutes to an hour depending on whether or not we need to change any batteries.
Battery Replacement
All alarm systems, including wired alarms require batteries. The main system back-up battery is designed to keep the system running in the event of a power outage and should (if fully charged) have enough power last for 12 hours.
However, after about 3 years, these batteries can start to falter. Thus, we advise a
proactive replacement every three years. Additionally, for hybrid systems or purely wireless setups, the smaller lithium batteries powering individual detectors also have a life span of roughly 3 to 5 years. Coinciding their replacement with our servicing schedule ensures your system always remains vigilant.
