Hiring an alarm installer in Cavan

Home security work covers intruder alarms, CCTV, video doorbells and intercoms, plus smart heating controls. A good installer starts with a survey of the house and how you use it, not with a box of equipment.

Alarm, CCTV and access-control installers are a licensed sector in Ireland. Checking the licence protects you twice: it is a sign of a properly run business, and engaging an unlicensed provider is itself an offence.

Rules and grants that apply in County Cavan

The rules in Ireland

Installers of intruder alarms, CCTV and access control must hold a Private Security Authority licence for each sector they work in.

Licences are issued per sector — Access Control, CCTV, Intruder Alarm — and last two years; the PSA register shows each contractor’s sectors and expiry dates.
Under section 38 of the Private Security Services Act 2004 it is an offence to engage an unlicensed contractor for a licensable security service (up to €3,000 and/or 12 months on summary conviction); being shown the licence is a defence, so ask to see it.

Grants

Smart heating controls can be grant-aided: SEAI’s heating controls grant is €700 for homes built and occupied before 2011.

The controls grant cannot be combined with a heat pump grant.
Use a contractor on SEAI’s register and get grant approval before any work starts — work begun before approval is not grant-aided.
The grant must be drawn down within eight months of the offer, and a BER by a registered assessor after the works is required (SEAI contributes €50 towards it).

What alarm and CCTV installers in Cavan cost, and why

What jobs on Talqero came to

Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.

What affects the price

Wired or wireless, and the brand of system
Number of detectors, cameras or doors
Monitoring contracts and their ongoing fees
Cable runs through walls and attics
VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.

How long it usually takes

A video doorbell: one to three hours.
An alarm or four-camera CCTV system: half a day to a day.

What to ask before you choose

What is your PSA licence number, and does it cover this sector?
Is monitoring included, and what does it cost after the first year?
Who owns the recordings, and where are they stored?
Is VAT included?
