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.

Frequently asked questions

Do security installers need to be licensed?
Licensing for security installers is mandatory in this category. You should confirm the installer holds the required licence before work begins.
Can my existing wiring be reused?
If you select a replacement profile, installers typically assume existing wiring can be reused to reduce labour and materials. An onsite assessment may still find incompatible or proprietary components that require additional work.
Are monitoring subscriptions included with installation?
Standard installation profiles usually do not include ongoing monitoring subscriptions. Monitoring is commonly arranged separately as an ongoing service.
How long will the installation take?
Labour needs vary: a full new-wiring install generally takes longer than a replacement using existing wiring. Installers will usually provide a time estimate after assessing system size, property access and any programming requirements.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to security installers — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
