Monitored, Self-Monitored or Bell-Only?
The biggest choice to make before you buy. Here is each option, laid out straight.
Bell-Only
A siren sounds when the alarm trips. Nobody gets an alert. It relies on a neighbour hearing it. Still a strong deterrent, and it still cuts your premium, just not by the full amount.
Self-Monitored
An app alert is sent to your phone when the alarm triggers. You decide what to do. No monthly subscription. Effective if you are responsive to your phone. No automatic police response if you cannot be reached.
Professionally Monitored
The alarm links to a 24/7 monitoring centre. If it goes off, they ring your keyholders and can ask the police to attend. The best cover for when you are away. Needs a monthly or yearly subscription.

Why We Recommend the Ajax Alarm System
Ajax is Europe’s top wireless alarm and the one we fit most. Here is why.
Wired, Wireless or Hybrid?
Three system types and honest advice on which suits each Liverpool property type.
Wired Systems
A cable runs from each sensor to the panel. Nothing to interfere with it and no batteries to worry about. Best for new builds or full renovations, where cables go in before the plaster. Adding sensors later is harder.
Wireless Systems
Sensors talk to the panel over an encrypted radio signal. No wall chasing. No cable runs. Perfect for Liverpool terraces with solid walls. Easy to add sensors later, and you can take it with you when you move.
Hybrid Systems
A mix of both. Wired sensors guard the main doors for rock-solid cover. Wireless sensors go everywhere else. A good fit for bigger homes, or ones with old alarm wiring already in place.
House Alarms and Home Security Systems in Liverpool
Burglar alarm, house alarm, intruder alarm or home security system. Different names, same job: protecting your home. Here is how we fit them.
House Alarms Fitted Properly
Every house alarm we fit is put in by a qualified electrician, not a sales rep with a drill. Sensors go in the right spots. The panel is wired safely. The whole home alarm system is tested before we leave.
Complete Home Security Systems
A modern home security system does more than sound a siren. With Ajax you get app control, photo alerts and smart home links as standard. One system, all run from your phone.
Local Alarm Installers
We are Liverpool alarm fitters, not a national call centre. The alarm installers who survey your home are the same team who fit it, and the same team who pick up the phone after.

Will a Burglar Alarm Reduce Your Insurance?
Yes. A well-fitted alarm can cut your home insurance by 5 to 15 percent. Here is what your insurer needs.
Grade 2 Certification
Most insurers want a Grade 2 alarm fitted to BS EN 50131 before they give a discount. Every alarm we fit meets Grade 2, and you get the certificate the same day.
Annual Service Certificate
Many insurers ask for a yearly service to keep your discount. We service every system we fit. Each visit checks every sensor, battery and siren, plus the panel. You get a service certificate on the day.
Monitored System Discount
A monitored system linked to a 24/7 centre gets the biggest discount, most often 10 to 15 percent. The paperwork comes with your contract, ready to send off.
What to Tell Your Insurer
Tell your insurer three things: you have a Grade 2 intruder alarm, a NICEIC engineer fitted it to BS EN 50131, and you hold the certificate. We hand you all of it on install day.
Burglar Alarms for Liverpool Homes
Every type of Liverpool home needs a slightly different alarm setup. Here is how we handle each one.
Victorian and Edwardian Terraces
The majority of homes in Anfield, Wavertree, Kensington, Toxteth and Aigburth. Solid brick walls make wired systems more disruptive. We recommend wireless Ajax systems for these properties. Key entry points are typically the front door, rear kitchen door and any accessible ground floor windows. We survey all entry points at the free site survey.
Homes with Pets
We fit pet-friendly sensors as standard when you have dogs or cats. They pick up a person-sized heat pattern and ignore pets under a set weight. We tune the sensitivity when we fit them. Pets do not mean endless false alarms. It just takes the right sensors.
Flats and Apartments
City centre flats need careful sensor placement. One motion sensor rarely covers a whole flat. We fit contacts on every way in, plus sensors in the hall, so nothing gets missed. Wireless is nearly always the right call for flats.
Commercial and Business Premises
Shops, offices and warehouses need zones you can set on their own. Staff set one zone and keep working in another. We fit commercial grade systems, with monitoring where the stock is worth it.
Alarm Repairs and Servicing Liverpool
Alarm going off for no reason, beeping or dead? We fix all makes and models across Liverpool.
False Alarm Faults
Faulty sensors, spider webs on detectors, flat batteries and worn optics cause most false alarms. We find the real cause and fix it, rather than just turning the siren off.
Control Panel Issues
Lost your engineer code? Broken keypad? Panel beeping non-stop? We reset, repair or replace panels from all the big names: Texecom, Honeywell, Pyronix and Yale.
Sensor Replacement
Faulty PIR motion sensors, door contacts and window contacts replaced on the day. We carry stock of the most common sensor types so most repairs can be completed in a single visit without ordering parts.
Annual Servicing
A yearly visit that checks every sensor, battery and siren, tests the panel and each zone, and ends with a service certificate. Most insurers ask for it to keep your discount. Booked at a time that suits you.

COSTHow much does a burglar alarm cost in Liverpool?
A bell-only alarm starts at £499 fitted. A smart wireless Ajax system starts at £699. A monitored system starts at £899. Prices are the same whatever you call it: burglar alarm, house alarm, home alarm or intruder alarm. The final price depends on the size of your home and how many sensors you need. The survey is free and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
MONITOREDWhat is the difference between monitored and unmonitored?
A bell-only alarm just sounds a siren. A self-monitored alarm sends an alert to your phone app. A monitored alarm links to a 24/7 centre that rings your keyholders and can ask the police to attend. Monitored systems get the biggest insurance discount, 10 to 15 percent.
INSURANCEWill a burglar alarm reduce my home insurance?
Yes. A Grade 2 alarm fitted properly can cut your home insurance by 5 to 15 percent, depending on your insurer and system. We fit to BS EN 50131 Grade 2 standard and hand you the certificate your insurer needs on the day.
AJAXWhy do you recommend Ajax alarms?
Ajax is Europe’s top-rated wireless alarm, used in over 3 million homes across 127 countries. It is Grade 2 certified. When a sensor spots motion, it sends a photo straight to your phone. The signal is encrypted, the battery backup lasts 12 hours, and it works with Alexa and Google. Every major UK insurer accepts it, and there is no wall chasing, which suits Liverpool’s terraces perfectly.
PETSDo burglar alarms work if you have pets?
Yes. We fit pet-friendly sensors as standard for homes with dogs or cats. They pick up a person-sized heat signature but ignore pets under a set weight. We set the sensitivity during the install. Pets do not mean false alarms. They just mean the right sensors, set up right.
REPAIRDo you repair existing burglar alarms in Liverpool?
Yes. We repair every make of burglar alarm in Liverpool: Texecom, Honeywell, Pyronix, Yale and older systems too. Faulty sensors, false alarms, dead batteries, lost codes, broken panels. We usually come the same or next day, and we carry the common parts, so most repairs are done in one visit.

Burglar Alarm Installation Liverpool: Why Grade 2 Matters
We are a trusted Liverpool electrical and security contractor. Every alarm we fit meets BS EN 50131 Grade 2, the level most UK insurers ask for before they give a discount. Our engineers are NICEIC certified. You get all the paperwork your insurer wants on the day.
According to Merseyside Police crime prevention guidance, a visible, well-kept alarm is one of the best ways to put burglars off. Put simply: homes with a working alarm get broken into far less. A box on the wall makes most burglars walk on by.
Ajax Alarms: The Right Choice for Liverpool Homes
Most Liverpool homes are old terraces with solid brick walls. Chasing cables through them makes a real mess. That is why we fit the Ajax wireless alarm system: no wall chasing, an encrypted signal between sensors, and full Grade 2 certification. Most homes are fully protected in a single day.
We also fit zoned alarm systems for shops and firms across Liverpool, with monitoring if you want it. And we cover Wirral, St Helens and Warrington too.
