Any un-interfered component related issues within the first 12 months will attended to and replaced (if needed) free of charge.
Why use an NSI NACOSS Gold registered installer?
Essentially, NSI NACOSS Gold registered installers are held to an exacting set of standards, whereas non-registered companies are not.
Your insurance company: Insurance companies have been so impressed with the way the NSI has raised standards among security alarm fitters that a great many now offer discounts to householders who purchase electronic security systems from NSI recognised installers. For commercial premises, insurers now regularly insist on security systems which have been installed by an NSI recognised company before they will provide insurance cover.
The police: The police acknowledge that NSI Recognised Firms comply with all the requirements set down in the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) unified policy on intruder alarms. A security system installed by a NSI Recognised Firm will thus qualify for connection to an Alarm Receiving Centre to summon the police should the need arise.
