If you really want to save a buck doing it that way you can purchase the
equipment yourself (online, eBay) and just pay the new alarm company labor to
install it for you.  You'll only need to replace the panel, keypads, and power
supply if everything else is in good shape.  At least get a feel for what the
equipment is actually worth by doing your research first.

Remember, all this advice is based upon you finding a "local" reputable dealer.
The big name companies are not as flexible.
