As a professional security systems installer, we have been providing expert wireless alarm installation services for over 25 years, protecting homes and businesses with advanced security solutions. A burglar alarm is one of the most effective deterrents against break-ins. According to the Office for National Statistics, “It is widely accepted that improvements to home security have been an important factor in the reduction seen in domestic burglary offences.” In fact, properties with an alarm installed are significantly less likely to be targeted than those without.
Burglar alarm systems have evolved significantly over the years, becoming smarter, easier to install and use, and more reliable—largely due to advancements in wireless alarm installation technology. While many DIY alarm kits are available, and some individuals may feel confident installing them, “just fine” may not be good enough when it comes to protecting your property.
Experienced burglars can often recognise DIY alarm systems, such as those from Response or Yale. They know that these are typically self-installed and may only protect a few obvious entry points, leaving vulnerabilities such as windows unprotected. Additionally, many DIY systems are not maintained properly and may no longer function.
Research by UK police and insurance bodies suggests that properties with a professionally installed wireless alarm system—especially one with a new or well-maintained siren—are less likely to be targeted compared to those with unbranded or DIY versions. The same holds true for app-enabled security systems and fully monitored intruder alarms.

By trusting an SSAIB-accredited, professional security company like Falcon Fire & Security, you can be confident that your alarm system will function exactly as it should.
A professionally installed alarm system should also be professionally maintained. This involves more than just changing batteries. Without a maintenance agreement, you may not receive support if your system malfunctions, and worse, you may not even be aware of potential issues.
At Falcon Fire & Security, our maintenance engineers are extensively trained in the systems we install—as well as many other professional-grade security systems—to keep your alarm functioning optimally. For our maintained customers, we offer:
Many homeowners and businesses now connect their alarm systems to an app for greater control and instant notifications. This allows us to provide remote support and quickly resolve any issues, ensuring your Falcon-installed alarm system stays operational with minimal downtime.
For even greater security, we work with EMCS to provide professional monitoring services, ensuring a swift response to any alarm activation. As an SSAIB-accredited installer, we can also apply for a police Unique Reference Number (URN) on your behalf, enabling your monitored alarm system to summon a police response in the event of a confirmed break-in.
