How to know when to replace a bell-only alarm
How do I know if my bell-only alarm should be replaced? Is it best to have a more modern type of alarm installed in its place?
Expert Trade Answers
"Hello again Beverley, a bell-only Alarm is fine, but it will only notify someone who is within earshot of the bell!
All of the newer products on the market have the ability to remotely notify either the homeowner or a professional 24 hour Monitoring Station. Please get in touch for more information."
