Someone posed the question “how many times a year or how often should I get my intruder alarm system serviced?”  The answer is “It depends”, the environment in which the alarms system operates will impact on how often the system requires to be serviced.  If the system is giving a number of false alarm activations then there is a reason for the activations and this should be investigated.

A newly installed alarm may in certain circuminstances require attention when the sensitivity of the sensors might require adjustment, outside influnces that can impact the operation of a system would be heavy passing traffic or even barking dogs.

It is however recommended that domestic systems be checked at least once per year, among the parts of the system that may require attention is the battery.  The battery is one part of the intruder alarm system that is vital, this will enable the system to operate even in the event of a power failure.  The lenght of time that it will operate for will however depend on the battery.

Should you require a service to be carried out on your intruder alarm system please contact Daniel at 0872514860 to arrange a suitable time.

Kickboard lighting

Kickboard lighting adds atmosphere to modern kitchens, the lights in the picture below are white LED lights which also come in blue.

This is a great way to make a statement in a kitchen, but they also look great in other locations.  Pelmet lighting is the lights that are placed underneath the pelmet, they are great for throwing light onto the working surface of the kitchen workspace.

Sustainable Energy Ireland have a great little gadget that I picked up recently at the Ideal Homes Show at the RDS in Dublin, its about the size to a post card and it reads the tempreature in your home.

The idea being if its too hot then reduce the temperature, if its too cold have your home assessed to have it insulated or have your heating system upgraded.  SEI can help on that front also with grants available for some of these types of work to be carried out.  For further information check out the site at this link
