Pricing guide
Price variation usually comes from whether the job is a full new wiring install or a replacement that reuses existing wiring. System size, equipment quality and any extra programming or panel setup increase labour and materials, while access and after-hours attendance can also raise the overall cost. Callout fees combined with labour hours and materials typically form the total quote.
New vs replacement wiring
A full new install usually requires more labour and materials than a job reusing existing wiring.
System size and device count
More sensors, cameras or zones increase installation time and the amount of materials required.
Property access and layout
Multi-storey homes or finished walls that need fishing increase labour complexity and time on site.
Compatibility of existing systems
Locked, proprietary or incompatible equipment found onsite can require additional replacement work and programming.
Timing and after-hours attendance
Work scheduled outside normal hours typically attracts a higher charge and can affect availability.
