Insurance, warranties and installation rules

South African insurance law treats some alarm conditions as promissory warranties, so a policy that requires an alarm can be affected if the alarm is not in place as agreed. Some policies give a discount when the alarm is monitored by a security company, so ask your insurer what it requires. A by-law (By-Law No. 5) sets the minimum requirements for installing, operating and maintaining intruder alarm systems, so ask your installer to confirm the system meets it. The Consumer Protection Act sets out consumer rights for goods as well.

Seasons and timing

The seasons run the opposite way to the northern hemisphere: winter is June to August and summer is December to February. The season does not change the price of a kit, but it matters for planning an installation around holidays and travel. Book the installer before a long time away from home, so the system is working while you are gone.

What to put in your request

Give the site address, the approximate premises area and the number of doors and windows. Say whether you want a wired or wireless system, sensors for doors and windows, a siren, and whether you want the alarm monitored by a security company. Mention your budget in rand and the city, such as Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria or Gqeberha, so the installer can confirm that they serve your area.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe what you need in your own words, and the assistant asks for anything missing. It then checks sellers' websites and price lists in South Africa and shows the prices and businesses it found. Installers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive your request and answer in the chat with their offer, terms and installation date. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them. Compare with security systems or start a request.
