We are often contacted early in the morning by frustrated homeowners whose old alarm systems have gone off in the middle of the night.
Systems that are not used regularly and have not been serviced are prone to faults, especially battery faults. These faults often seem to show up in the middle of the night, waking homeowners and their neighbours with the chirp of a faulty siren.
If your old alarm is beeping, our guide to why a house alarm beeps explains the common causes and what you can safely check yourself.
Bunker can take over and upgrade an older alarm system, or fully disconnect your old alarm if you no longer need it.
We recently disconnected an alarm in Kirkintilloch that had been operating since 1991, and another in Glasgow that was probably even older.
