What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Electronic Alarms UK Ltd carries out alarm and security work around Manchester, and the accounts left by customers divide between satisfaction with day-to-day service and frustration over how monitoring contracts have been handled. The praise tends to focus on the manner of the staff, who are described as accommodating and pleasant to deal with, and on the value customers felt they received, with the price of the work coming across as fair for what was done. Set against this, the recurring complaint concerns changes to monitoring arrangements and the charges attached to them.

One account describes a monitoring subscription settled ahead of time in one payment, only to be informed partway through the term that a further sum of £77 plus VAT was needed to upgrade the equipment after Redcare stopped operating. According to that customer, the extra cost had not been raised at the point of renewal, and refusing it would leave the system without monitoring even though the subscription had already been paid. Communication about contract terms and later charges is therefore the point that comes up most, alongside the courteous service that other customers report.

Very disappointed with our experience with Electronic Alarms. We paid our annual monitoring fee in full and in advance, only to be told partway through the contract that we now need to pay an extra £77 + VAT to upgrade our system, due to Redcare ceasing operations. This additional cost was never mentioned when we renewed our contract, and without paying it, our system will no longer be monitored — despite us already having paid for that service. When we raised our concerns, their responses were unprofessional and dismissive, simply repeating that no refund would be offered and insisting the upgrade cost is “reasonable.” There was no attempt to offer a fair solution, and we feel pressured to pay more just to keep a service we already paid for. We requested a pro-rata refund for the remaining months of the contract , as they can no longer provide the service without the upgrade — but they flatly refused. In our view, this is unacceptable business practice. If you're considering using this company, be warned: unexpected charges may be imposed mid-contract, and they take no accountability when services cannot be fulfilled.
