At FHA Security, we specialise in burglar alarm upgrades, alarm system replacements, and digital switchover upgrades, helping homeowners across South England modernise their security without unnecessary cost.

Upgrade Your Burglar Alarm Before It Fails ​

If your alarm system is older, connected to a landline, or hasn’t been upgraded in years, it may not work when you need it most.

Is Your Alarm System About to Stop Working?

Thousands of UK homes still rely on outdated alarm systems that:

  • Use landline (PSTN) connections being phased out

  • Cannot send alerts reliably

  • Lack mobile app control

  • Are no longer supported by manufacturers

  • Fail to meet current insurance standards

If this sounds familiar, your system may already be at risk of failure.

We have a commercial building and were having continuous problems with our old Risco alarm. Our old alarm company charged for call outs with no guaranteed resolution! Found FHA Security and became convinced they were offering a far superior, fully monitored with Police response system. They supplied and fitted a very advanced Qolsys alarm system with an array of sensors. We opted for their full maintenance contract so the alarm is guaranteed to be worry free for many years to come. The engineer that fitted the alarm was friendly and professional. Suffice it to say we are very satisfied with the new system.

This system met all our need including CCTV and home alarm for a reasonable price. Our engineer Abhishek was very friendly and took his time to explain the system carefully until we were confident. It has been set up very quickly and well. Thank you. I had recalled for a hardware failure. George came and sorted the work, he was very friendly and responded very quick. We will definitely recommend FHA.

FHA have been amazing. Our current provider disappeared and cancelled our monitoring etc. The FHA team tried to find a solution to this and spent a lot of time trying to get things working. Unfortunately as out previous supplier had all of the engineer codes and access codes, we were not able to recover the system so decided to go with a new installation. The FHA team managed everything for us in a very friendly way and the install was done in a matter of days. The new system is great. Can’t thank FHA enough for getting things up and running

A first class experience from pre-sales to install. George who came to install the system is a genuinely lovely guy with great expertise. He will talk you through all the options and give you the benefit of his experience. He is super tidy and his installations are very professional. He also talked me through all aspects of the system and the app. Well done FHA.

Great service from start to finish
Great service from start to finish. Contacted Mark who visited the following day and discussed our alarm needs. Once we had chosen which system we wanted Mark arranged for an engineer to install the system only 48 hours later. The engineer Adam was polite and very knowledgeable about our system and didn't leave our house until we had tested the alarm and we were comfortable with how it worked. I would not hesitate to recommend FHA to my friends and family.

Installation of burglar alarm
Helpful and efficient. Friendly service. Delighted that the alarm could be fitted within a few days following initial enquiry. Would like to have had more practice at using the controls on the pad before engineer left. However the fob and phone is easy to use.

Excellent service, best around.
I had my Yale 6400 and CCTV fitted by FHA. The staff got to my place on time and got the job done in no time with no hassle. Great company and I've already recommended them to my friends.

Very happy with our new burglar alarm…
Very happy with our new burglar alarm from Fitted Home Alarms Ltd. Our engineer, Josh, was very quick, clean and tidy. The alarm was fitted very efficiently and his advice was extremely helpful, without being pushy, as to what system, and additional sensors, would be best for our needs.

I'm really pleased I found fitted home alarms online purely by accident when looking for someone to install a burglar alarm. The service and cost was so much better than another well known provider. The alarm was installed quickly and I've had no problems, would recommend.

Highly recommended
It was good to be able to buy a burglar alarm without enduring the protracted hard sell favoured by this firm's lesser rivals. The chap I spoke to on the phone was helpful, informative and helped me to choose the right system. Even better: he arranged for installation the very next weekend. The engineer who installed the system was punctual, quick and neat - and took the time to properly explain how everything worked. Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to upgrade my burglar alarm for the digital switchover?

Yes, if your alarm uses a landline, it may stop working properly. Upgrading to GSM or IP ensures continued protection.

Can I upgrade my existing burglar alarm instead of replacing it?

In most cases, yes. Many systems can be upgraded with new communication modules, sensors, or control panels.

What is a landline alarm replacement?

It involves replacing your alarm’s PSTN connection with a SIM-based or broadband-based system so it continues to function after the switchover.

How much does an alarm system upgrade cost in the UK?

Costs vary depending on the upgrade, but communication upgrades are typically far more affordable than full replacements.

How do I know if my alarm system is outdated?

Common signs include landline connection, no app control, frequent faults, or unsupported brands.

Can you upgrade a wired alarm system?

Yes. FHA Security can reuse existing wiring and upgrade key components to modern standards.

Will a new alarm system reduce false alarms?

Yes. Modern systems use advanced detection, including pet-friendly sensors, to reduce false triggers.

Can FHA Security take over my alarm system?

Yes. At FHA Security, our expert services can adopt, service, repair, and upgrade systems installed by other providers.

How long does an alarm upgrade take?

Most upgrades are completed within a few hours.

Is upgrading a burglar alarm worth it?

Yes. Many insurers expect alarm systems to be professionally maintained. Regular servicing under the extended warranty can help demonstrate compliance and system reliability.
