Re: How many service techs?

Your post leads me to believe something that I have suspected all
along. Full prices for systems in the US are considerably higher than
we charge or can get in Canada. I know that is a generalization, but
modifying a system for $2750 is about double what we can get for even a
large system hereabouts even starting from scatch. I doubt that even
ADT would charge those kinds of prices around here !

I'd take that one too because the work would be well worth it at that
pricing level.
