Reasons why your house alarm keeps going off –

There are many reasons why you’re house alarm could be going off; here are some common examples:

• Your backup battery may need replacing:
  A reasonably self-explanatory reason, but without backup battery power, it may be trying to alert you that it needs its power replacing.

  The internal makeup of your house alarm means that a single blown fuse can spell catastrophe for your domestic security alarm. In terms of your alarm going off, a broken fuse can make your alarm sensors go haywire!
• A cable could be damaged/cut –
