Fastalarms - 0800 4488823 installing in Yorkshire

I am kept so busy I keep frogetting to update my blog. Which is really silly of me because many of my clients tell me they have picked me because they have read my blog and it gives them confidence. Thats really great to hear. However as I don't update my blog as often as I should it may give the impression that I haven't actually been working that hard so here is a record of last weeks installations and work so you know what a usual week entails for me.

Monday: Always a busy day as prople have come back from a Friday or Saturday night out to find their home burgled and as securing the property as soon as possible is their priority. This Monday installed a telecommunicating alarm to a nice home in Bradford with an additional infra red sensor. They looked much more releived when I left fortunately nothing too important stolen... Just the flatscreen Tv and a phone and mp3 player. The old cathode ray sets with the big square screen were much harder to steal being much heavier. One step backwards with progress there. Sold two 6200 systems online.

Tuesday fitted a 6200 system in York to a retired couple in a bungalow. Their previously installed alarm had gone on the blink and was sounding like an angry wasp. They hadn't been burgled but had fitted the previous alarm themselves after a previous burglary. Sold a pack of three pet friendly sensors, A 6400 alarm and two extra keyfobs online

Wednesday  Fitted an unusual alarm today in North Leeds. It was the Yale 6300 alarm. I don't actually advertise it on the website because the price difference between it and the 6400 is so small , only £40. Its a shame as it is such a good system. Basically it is the 6400 premium alarm without the telephoning features. It has all the benefits of the 6400 ie control panel with inbuilt siren, part set options and full control over each individual zone. It would definately be my choice if I wanted a siren only alarm myself due to the easily tailored set up options. I may advertise it on the site as perhaps some people want a solid reliable traditional alarm but not the telecommunicating features.

Thursday Visit to my suppliers today to buy stock also a chance to see what else there is that I could offer to clients. Back home to do some paperwork and to answer some online quote requests. Had a phone call from someone wanting a deal on one of my alarms , had to politely decline as I really am providing the best possible prices already. I should have put in a yearly price rise but in reality the credit crunch has kept my prices the same again this year. Had a slight dissapointment today. My daughters sports day..She told me they were finishing at 3.20 as normal so I arrived at 2.30 to see her in action but they had finished an hour before. I was real sorry and I had to do an emergency trip for some Ben and Gerrys on the way home to cheer her up.

Friday Another install to a burgled home another eurocylinder lock destroyed in seconds. I would seriously make housebuilders responsible for their actions. New homes have less security now that victorian terraces of years ago. a total backwards step. Many factors combine to make the new homes of today the most insecure ever. The reasons being... The land price rise and battle for land during the building boom has meant to be quite honest that private homes are being built too close to existing social housing or in areas of poor security near the edges of fields or industrial areas. Many new developments should have had a security fence built around them and a gate with security guards. Unfortunatey people move in without local knowledge and find out too late they are in a high crime area. The homes are 'secured' with twenty pounds worth of locks. How much did you pay for that house? Patio doors allow all your belongings to be seen. Why does every new home have patio doors wether you want them or not?  Local council affordable housing rules means that every new home estate has neighbours who may or may not be 'reliable'  The days when you could say 'I want to live in a nice area' instantly defeated by govenment policy. Anyway enough of my soapbox..   So another typical week for me not metioning answering a few calls from existing clients with occasional questions about their systems on my freephone supplied number.
