Maintenance Contracts with OCM Alarms

We offer the option of servicing your alarm, whether it is a recommended yearly system check up, or a repair when you run in to problems or the alarm fails due to damage or user error. Please get in touch to discuss the options for this service.

Intruder Alarm System Maintenance

To ensure the continued correct functioning of your alarm system, it should be periodically maintained. A maintenance schedule should be agreed immediately upon the completion of the installation. For a residential installation your system should be inspected and serviced every 12 months.

In the event of any indication of a malfunction or damage to any part of the system the user should immediately inform us that maintenance and repair of the system are needed so it continues functioning as intended.
