Helping Protect Your Property

9/7/2017

It's been a good few weeks since our last website blog post and while we do intend to keep our blog post updates regular sometimes our busy job schedule just takes over and rightly our attention is focused on delivering a high standard of work as well as customer service.

One of the jobs that we have been focusing on was the installation of a new commercial fire alarm system as well as emergency lighting at a church near Stirling.

Our team of electricians and engineers did a fantastic job installing the systems to not only help protect the users of the building but the cabling and equipment was installed unobtrusively keeping in mind the nature of the building.

Our electrical, fire and security services can help you meet various health and safety regulations and we would be delighted to help with your requirements so please contact us.

Some photos of our fire alarm and emergency lighting installation job are below.

Smoke Detector Research

24/2/2017

In the news this week was an article on the effectiveness of existing domestic smoke alarms to wake up children and that further in-depth research was about to start.

Initial studies indicated that a large percentage of children slept through the noise of the existing beeping sounding alarms but children were more likely to wake up with a lower pitch sound alongside a woman's voice.

Our company installs and tests thousands of smoke and heat alarms each year so this story grabbed my attention and I knew I would be curious to eventually find out the results of this further research and after dialogue it looks like we will be involved in the new research to find out what type of and what level of sounds wake up children more effectively.

Visit of Bruce Crawford MSP

14/3/2016

I was delighted and honoured to welcome Stirling MSP Bruce Crawford to our office in Fallin for our Stirling Alarms NSI Accreditation presentation.

NSI Accreditation Presentation

10/3/2016

It was a momentous day for the security system division of Stirling Electrical Services on Thursday 10th March when I travelled south to Birmingham to receive on behalf of Stirling Alarms our NSI accreditation medal and certificate.

In February 2016 our new Stirling Alarms service was awarded approval in the Design, Installation and Maintenance of Electronic Security Systems including Access Control, CCTV Systems and Intruder Alarms by the National Security Inspectorate (NSI) who are the leading approvals and certification body that inspects UK companies providing home security, business security and fire safety services.

It was a proud moment for me and for all involved when we received our NSI medal and certificate from Chief Executive Richard Jenkins, in this our 20th year in business.

NSI Accreditation

14/2/2016

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that after only three months of our new 'Stirling Alarms' security service we have gained accreditation with the National Security Inspectorate (NSI).

In November 2015 Stirling Electrical Services security system services were rebranded as Stirling Alarms and we have now been awarded approval in the Design, Installation and Maintenance of Electronic Security Systems including Access Control, CCTV Systems and Intruder Alarms by the National Security Inspectorate (NSI) who are the leading approvals and certification body that inspects UK companies providing home security, business security and fire safety services.

With all the security advice on the internet, it can be bewildering knowing who to trust for sound advice and service. Choosing 'NSI Approved Systems Silver' Stirling Alarms gives you peace of mind that you are dealing with a reputable contractor who works to NSI’s stringent standards and also to the highest recognised industry standards as demanded by the Police, Fire & Rescue Services and insurance industry.

We are inspected by an approved inspector of the NSI annually to ensure all office procedures, maintenance & installations are being carried out to the highest standards & comply with regulation.

NSI accreditation is only awarded to a company after rigorous checks have been conducted. These companies must display technical expertise and business competence. The Systems Silver scheme is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) which is recognised by the Government, the Police, Fire & Rescue Services and the insurance industry.

Since launching in November 2015 our Security Alarm installation, repair and maintenance services have proved popular with homes and businesses throughout Central Scotland and our new NSI accreditation allows us to offer an increased range of services including monitored security alarm systems with call centre and police response.

We have put together a hard working, dedicated and trustworthy team at Stirling Alarms and this NSI accreditation is testament to their superb efforts over the past three months since our launch.

More details of how NSI approved Stirling Alarms can help protect your premises can be found on our security service website.

Alarm Repair

10/11/2015

We received a phone call from a homeowner asking if we could repair their security alarm system that had not worked properly in a number of years.
A quick survey indicated that we could repair and reprogramme the security alarm so our alarm engineer replaced a small number of essential parts and had the security alarm system up and working in a short space of time.
We were just as delighted as the customer was to have been able to help them make sure they had a fully working security alarm protecting their home once again.
