Alarm Repairs, Service & Maintenance

Alarm repairs, service and maintenance to keep your system performing properly.

Alarm Repairs & Servicing in Perth

An alarm system that beeps, false-alarms, won’t arm, or won’t accept your code is more stressful than no alarm at all. Security Solutions WA provides alarm repair callouts across Perth, Mandurah, Rockingham and the Peel region, with same-day availability for most faults and honest advice when a panel has reached end of life.

We work on systems installed by us, by another contractor, or that came with the property — residential or commercial. The first job is to get your alarm working reliably again. The second is to tell you what to watch for over the next 12 months.

Common alarm faults we fix

  • Keypad showing a fault/trouble light: low battery, sensor tamper, comms failure, sensor low-battery
  • Alarm won’t arm: entry/exit zone open, user code issue, panel in installer mode
  • False alarms: pet-immune sensors misconfigured, drafts or insects triggering PIR, door sensor loose
  • Siren not sounding (or sounding weakly): backup battery dead, siren driver failure, wiring fault
  • Smoke detector integration not triggering: EOL resistor, monitoring comms, sensor age
  • Monitoring not reporting: IP or GPRS comms module, signalling path, monitoring centre programming
  • Sensors going offline on wireless systems: battery, signal interference, sensor re-pair
  • Keypad buttons not responding: keypad membrane, ribbon cable, keypad replacement
  • Panel showing wrong time/date (or no display): backup battery flat, internal clock fault
  • Alarm going off when it shouldn’t: zone programming, sensor placement, daylight or temperature change

What happens on an alarm repair callout

  • Call with the panel brand (often on a sticker inside the keypad cover), the fault, and how long it’s been happening
  • We confirm a same-day or next-day window; urgent faults (no alarm at all) get priority
  • On-site fault finding is usually 30–60 minutes for residential panels
  • Common fixes (battery swap, sensor re-pair, code reset, keypad replacement) are completed on the first visit
  • Larger work (panel replacement, full system migration) is quoted and scheduled separately

Preventive maintenance — what’s included in an annual alarm service

  • Walk-test every detection point: motion sensors, door/window reeds, glass-break, smoke, panic
  • Test the external siren (and the internal screamer/strobe)
  • Replace backup battery if it’s reached 3–4 years or fails a load test
  • Update panel time/date, user codes, and remove ex-tenant or ex-staff codes
  • Apply firmware updates where the manufacturer still supports the panel
  • Check monitoring signalling: test pulse to the monitoring centre, verify contact list is current
  • Verify phone app / remote arming if the system supports it
  • Provide a written report on panel condition, battery health, and any recommended replacements

A residential alarm service typically takes 45–60 minutes. Commercial systems are quoted based on zone count and access requirements.

When repair isn’t worth it

We give honest advice. If your panel is a legacy product the manufacturer no longer supports, parts are scarce, the backup battery is dead, and a comparable new system is only marginally more than the repair quote, we will tell you. We’d rather recommend a replacement than keep a dying panel alive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to pay for you to come out and give me a quote?

No, Security Solutions WA offers free on-site quotes. Whether it’s a new installation, repair, or maintenance, we provide an honest and cost-effective solution tailored to your security needs.

Why is my alarm beeping?

Usually a low backup battery or a sensor with a low-battery or tamper fault. The keypad will show a “trouble” light — write down what it says (often a number) and call us with that.

How often should my alarm be serviced?

Annually for most homes. Commercial systems with monitoring or insurance requirements may need 6-monthly — check your policy.
