Texecom FAQs

How much does a Texecom alarm cost installed in London?
A typical Texecom Premier Elite installation in London ranges from £695 to £1,095 + VAT. The Basic Wired System (Premier Elite 24, Odyssey X siren, 3× compact PIRs, magnetic contact, 5 prox tags) starts at £695. The Basic Wireless System with the Premier Elite 64-W panel + Texecom SmartCom app communicator and 3× Capture P15-W wireless PIRs starts at £895. The Hybrid System with the Premier Elite 48 metal panel, Ricochet 32XP-W wireless expander, plus Capture Q20-W and D20-W detectors starts at £1,095. Larger commercial sites, Grade 3 monitored systems, and bespoke specifications are quoted after a free site survey — no obligation.
Is Texecom better than Ajax or Pyronix?
It depends on what you need. Texecom Premier Elite is the gold standard for wired systems — most reliable, most insurance-recognised, easiest to integrate with existing wiring. Ajax wins for fully wireless installs in homes without existing cabling. Pyronix Enforcer is the strongest hybrid option. We’re authorised installers for all three and recommend based on your property, not commission.
Will Texecom work with my existing wiring?
In most cases, yes. Premier Elite panels accept standard 4-core or 6-core wired loops, and the keypad bus is compatible with any modern installation. If your property previously had a Honeywell Accenta, Veritas, Optima, Eaton, or ADE panel, the wiring almost always stays. PIR sensors are tested individually — most last 8-12 years and we re-use working ones.
What is the Texecom Connect app and is it free?
Texecom Connect is the official Texecom smartphone app for iOS and Android. It’s completely free to download and use — no monthly fees. The app pairs to your panel via the SmartCom communicator (one-time hardware cost, included in our Recommended and Premium packages). You get push notifications, remote arming, full event history, and multi-user access at no recurring cost.
Is Texecom approved by insurance companies?
Yes. Premier Elite panels are independently certified to BS EN 50131 Grade 2 and PD 6662:2017, the standards required by virtually all UK home insurers. Many insurers offer 5–15% premium discounts for properties with a Grade 2 alarm. We provide official Certificates of Compliance with every install for your insurer.
Do I need a phone line for Texecom?
No. Older Texecom panels used PSTN landlines, but modern installs use the SmartCom communicator which connects via your home Wi-Fi/router (Ethernet) plus a built-in 4G SIM as backup. Push alerts arrive even if your broadband fails. Most homes don’t need a dedicated phone line.
Can Texecom integrate with my Hikvision CCTV?
Yes. The Texecom Connect app can launch live Hikvision camera views when an alarm triggers, giving you instant visual verification. We configure this integration during the install — your alarm and CCTV become one unified system, accessible from one phone screen.
How long does a Texecom install take?
Most home installs take 4–6 hours in a single day. We arrive in the morning, swap the panel and keypad, test all existing sensors, install any new devices, configure the SmartCom and app, and walk you through usage before leaving. Larger properties or full wireless retrofits may need a second visit.
What warranty comes with a Texecom install?
Texecom panels carry a 2-year manufacturer warranty. SatFocus adds our own labour warranty: 12 months on the Essential package, 24 months on Recommended, and 36 months on Premium. We’re a Texecom-authorised installer with direct technical support — most faults are resolved on the same day.
Do you cover my London borough?
Yes — we install Texecom systems across all 19 London boroughs we cover, including Harrow, Brent, Ealing, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Richmond, Westminster, Hammersmith & Fulham, Wandsworth, Kensington & Chelsea, Camden, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lewisham, Newham, Kingston, Croydon, and Waltham Forest.
