Maintenance & Monitoring
Intruder alarm maintenance, alarm servicing and ARC monitoring for businesses and homeowners across Bolton, Wigan, Manchester and Lancashire. Takeovers, repairs and preventative maintenance.
Your intruder alarm system helps protect your property, people and assets, but how do you know it will perform correctly when you need it most?
Most alarm systems are set and unset every day, yet fortunately few customers ever experience a genuine intrusion event. Without regular testing and maintenance, faults can remain unnoticed for long periods, potentially affecting the performance and reliability of the system.
Based in Bolton, i Security provides intruder alarm maintenance, servicing and alarm monitoring services throughout Bolton, Wigan, Manchester, Lancashire and the surrounding areas.
Whether we originally installed the system or not, our engineers can help ensure your alarm system remains reliable, compliant and operating as intended.
Like any electronic security system, intruder alarms require periodic inspection, testing and servicing to ensure continued reliability.
Routine maintenance helps identify worn components, damaged detectors, signalling faults, battery degradation and configuration issues before they affect the performance of the system.
Regular servicing can help:
Our Planned Preventative Maintenance programmes are designed to help ensure alarm systems continue operating effectively throughout their lifecycle.
Scheduled maintenance visits allow our engineers to inspect, test and verify the operation of critical system components while identifying potential issues before they result in system failures.
A proactive maintenance approach can often be more cost-effective than dealing with unexpected faults and emergency callouts.
Even well-maintained alarm systems can occasionally develop faults.
i Security provides reactive maintenance services designed to assist customers when issues arise.
Whether your system develops a fault, experiences communication issues or requires urgent attention, our team can help diagnose and resolve problems efficiently.
Many intruder alarm systems are connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), historically referred to within the security industry as a Central Station or Monitoring Centre.
An ARC receives alarm signals 24 hours a day and processes alarm activations in accordance with agreed monitoring procedures.
Monitored alarms can provide an additional level of reassurance by ensuring alarm activations are professionally managed, even when the premises are unoccupied.
We partner with independently operated NSI Gold Approved Alarm Receiving Centres to provide professional alarm monitoring services.
Working with accredited monitoring providers helps ensure alarm signals are managed by experienced operators using established monitoring procedures.
Where monitoring is required, we can advise on the most appropriate alarm signalling and monitoring arrangements for your premises.
Monitored alarm systems connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre are generally expected to be maintained in accordance with the applicable standards, certification requirements and monitoring arrangements associated with the system.
Regular maintenance helps ensure alarm transmission paths, detectors, control equipment and standby power supplies continue to operate correctly.
Ongoing servicing is an important part of maintaining the effectiveness of a monitored alarm system.
You do not need to replace your alarm system simply because it was installed by another company.
i Security can often take over the maintenance and monitoring of existing intruder alarm systems, subject to a system assessment.
Our engineers can review the condition of the system, identify any issues and provide recommendations where upgrades or improvements may be beneficial.
Many customers choose to move to i Security because they are looking for a more responsive service, improved support or a local security company focused on customer care.
Older alarm systems can often be upgraded to improve reliability, user experience and monitoring capabilities.
Depending on the existing equipment, upgrades may include:
Our team can assess your existing system and recommend appropriate improvements where required.

Most professionally maintained intruder alarm systems are serviced either once per year or every six months.
Monitored alarm systems are commonly maintained every six months, whilst some non-monitored systems may only require an annual maintenance visit. The exact frequency will depend on the system specification, maintenance agreement and monitoring arrangements in place.
Many faults within an intruder alarm system are not immediately obvious during normal day-to-day use. Batteries can deteriorate, detectors can become less effective and signalling issues can develop without affecting the normal setting and unsetting of the alarm.
Routine maintenance helps identify these issues before they affect the performance of the system when it is needed most.
During a preventative maintenance visit, our engineer will inspect and test the key components of the alarm system to help ensure it continues to operate as intended.
