No. My dealer is actually very high quality and high service (and high
price) -- in fact, they primarily target the high end/high income
segment. Their ideal customer is one who would rather pay them to come
change the battery in a smoke detector.

They will certainly sell me a new keypad as long as I pay for them to
install it. However, that would take all the fun out of it since I get
a lot of pleasure of learning things and doing them myself. The money
saved by diy is only secondary and relatively small.

They (like most dealers) make most of their money from monitoring...
