Alarm system cost

    Alarm system recently keeled over and engineer told me the control panel is 15 years old and is shot. I am hoping the wiring and sensors are all ok.

    Can someone let me know what I can expected to pay for the following before I go seeking a few quotations (also hoping to get a few pointers to reliable sources for quotations).


    HKC secure control panel
    SABB external sounder
    2 * keypads
    2 * internal sounders

    The engineer who came out to assess the system when it broke suggested getting an auto dialler to send texts messages when the alarm is activated. Is this a good add on option and what should I expect to pay or is there a better solution using wireless broadband or other options ?


    Please feel free to point out anything I have missed out on or anything that has not been suggested that is worth considering.


    Thanks in advance :)

    Sounds about right to me to. Add on between 100-200 for the dialler too.

    Thanks for the input.

    Seems from searching threads over the last day that electrical wholesalers stock this kind of stuff. I do not have a trade account anywhere but would welcome any suggestions where I can call in Dublin to get independent quotes for these parts to benchmark against what alarm companys offer when they quote? :confused:

    To be honest Genco, just try the usual wholesalers, you should not have an issue getting a price

    I'm in the same boat with my 17 year old alarm, got a new fault on a zone last night soon after I turned it on. I know I need the whole system updated and I need a few addisions added to the system, I have a few contacts myself but not easy to get at short notice with holidays and stuff. I have tried a new Irish site http://www.tenderme.ie/ where you can post for a tender not sure how much of a responce I will get but worth a try. I will let you know over the next few days if I get anyone trough it.
