You are asking us for an opinion regarding your alarm system without knowing
all the facts.  My advice would be to call an independent dealer in to
perform routine maintenance/inspection.  If you explain to him that it's a
local system and that you're not interested in monitoring services, expect
that he will charge appropriately.  In the Vancouver/Surrey area that could
be anywhere from $55.00 to $85.00 per hour usually with a two hour minimum.
The battery for this system will run you around $30.00.  GST and PST are of
course, extra.
