    House that I'm renting was recently got broken into so want to get an alarm sorted.

    There is an old alarm Horizon alarm( see pic) in the house but isn't switched on (landlady said it wasn't working when she boguht it almost 10 years ago).
    Opened the panel and put the fuse in and the alarm started going off. Have no codes or manual so just had to unlug it again

    The house (windows and doors) are all wired with contacts (only one needs to be fixed from what I can see) and so am wondering what the est cost would be to get a new panel, new external bell box with a strobe, a gsm dialler/text and fix the broken contact?

    The fact it is pre wired should the price be cheaper? Any suggestions on who to contact? I'm in South Dublin area

    Thanks in advance

    If it has being down powered that long the only way to know what the issue is is to get the sensors and cables tested. Even if you did replace the control panel, an issue with a faulty device with the new system will still cause false alarms.

    Price wise €400 is the usual for an upgrade but it all depends on any other work that needs to be carried out. The best advice is to contact local installers and have them look at the old system to work out what needs to be done.

    There is a list of registered installers here.
