Benefits Of An SSAIB Certified Installer
The SSAIB, Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board, is the leading certification body for security suppliers across the UK. The board was founded to promote high standards across the industry and ensure that clients are receiving efficient security systems from operators.
Today, the SSAIB assess fire and security companies across the country to determine whether they meet the standard. Various areas of the company are assessed to determine whether their products are effective and therefore a good choice for clients to make. Whether you are looking for security systems for your home or business, seeking a SSAIB certified installer can ensure you are getting the very best in the business.
Becoming an SSAIB certified installer is not a simple process, and requires ongoing inspections to ensure these standards are still being met. Lincs Alarms is a proud SSAIB-certified installer, operating across Spalding and the surrounding areas to deliver high-standard security services.
In this post, we are sharing everything you need to know about being an SSAIB-certified installer and what this means for you, as the customer.
What Is The SSAIB Certification?
To understand the benefits of hiring a SSAIB certified installer, we first need to explore what this certification means.
The SSAIB is the foundational certification body for the security industry, as it sets the standards all suppliers and contractors should follow. The body was founded to create a standard for the fire and security industry, ensuring all companies deliver the best possible care in every installation, upgrade and maintenance service. This standard is set to keep customers safe.
Companies that are certified by the SSAIB have undergone assessments from the board to determine whether they meet the standard. Finding a SSAIB certified installer means you are guaranteed to access competency, compliance and professionalism across all of their services.
This certification essentially acts as a seal of approval and a sign that customers can trust the security installer because they are being held to the highest industry standards.
The SSAIB assess a range of fire and security suppliers, offering certification for systems such as intruder alarms, CCTV, access control, and fire detection systems.
Why Use An SSAIB Certified Installer?
Now you understand what the SSAIB does, it is time to consider what a SSAIB certified installer can do for you. SSAIB-certified installers offer security systems for homes and businesses, and Lincs Alarms works with all kinds of clients across the region.
Whether you want to protect your home or secure your business premises, an SSAIB-certified installer is the best choice because they offer benefits such as:
Quality Assurance
One of the biggest benefits of working with a SSAIB certified installer is the quality assurance this guarantees. The SSAIB assesses and monitors certified companies to ensure they meet their standards ahead of being certified.
Once certified, these inspections continue to ensure the security installer continues to meet the required levels across their services and customer care. This means that when choosing a SSAIB certified installer for your CCTV installation or intruder alarm maintenance, you can rest assured that they will perform the work to the highest quality and utmost professionalism.
Certified installers, such as Lincs Alarms, rely on approved techniques and tools to deliver the best possible service to clients across the board.
Compliance With Industry Standards
As we have mentioned, the SSAIB set the standard for the fire and security industry and continues to uphold these. The board was founded to create a uniform standard across the industry, ensuring clients receive the care they need when it comes to their safety.
A SSAIB certified installer adheres to both British and European standards for security installations, maintenance and upgrades. This means that all installations and systems from these companies, like Lincs Alarms, are valid for insurance, are eligible for a police response during emergencies, and meet legal safety requirements.
This is great news for all customers, but especially commercial ones who need security systems to align with particular standards. An SSAIB-certified installer can ensure this, giving you peace of mind and keeping your business compliant.
Improved Insurance Policies And Potential Savings
As working with a certified installer means that your security systems meet industry standards, you can access greater insurance coverage and protection. Both homeowners and business managers can benefit from this, as having reliable security systems across your property makes you less of a risk.
This means you can have access to greater insurance coverage, and more companies are likely to offer premiums to you for taking the additional steps towards your security.
In some cases, you cannot get insurance for your home or business without some form of security and an SSAIB-certified installer takes things to a higher level. Most companies will require a SSAIB certification for security systems to be noticed in claims, as this is the standard for the industry.
With reliable and quality security systems in place, insurance premiums can be lower as you are a low-risk client. Any claims that may be required, following a break-in, will be easier to file when you have SSAIB-certified systems, meaning you can get the money you are owed.
Emergency Response Eligibility
Not only do SSAIB-certified systems offer higher levels of protection than others, but they also provide emergency response eligibility. Working with a SSAIB certified installer for your CCTV, burglar alarms or access control means you are eligible for a police response during emergencies.
Due to the high standards of installation, an SSAIB-certified security system will have a reduced risk of false alarms than others and can therefore be handled by police. Emergency services know they are less likely to be called to a false alarm with an SSAIB-certified system than with unregulated ones, ensuring greater protection for customers.
Ongoing Maintenance And Support
Finally, due to the high standards they are held to, an SSAIB-certified installer provides a range of aftercare services. In order to maintain these high standards and ensure complete client satisfaction, a certified installer will continue to provide the servicing and maintenance needed to keep your security systems in prime condition.
An SSAIB-certified installer will offer upgrades, repairs and ongoing maintenance to keep your security systems functioning and ensure they remain compliant with the current regulations.
Working with these installers also ensures you have a quicker response time for call-outs and repairs, as customer care is the main factor in becoming a certified installer in the first place. To ensure this reputation continues, a certified installer will be available for anything you need.
