Staff.

Finding the right ones can be a nightmare. And when you're pretty much the only approved company in the area that's training up new engineers, it can be a pretty lonely task!

I've been in the electrical industry for many years, and served a full apprenticeship through a company called Rayma, completing it with Louth based GRS Electrical when Rayma ceased trading. While local electrical contractors, including quality outfits like GRS continue to train young people, the same isn't true for fire & security companies.

Abatis are now accredited under the MCS scheme for the design, installation and service of Solar Photovoltiac systems. We can supply to homes and businesses and customers of either Abatis and our sister company Advanced Alarms automatically receive great discounts from us for the supply of Solar PV systems. With the feed in tariffs currently under review, we'll only sell systems unde rthe basis that our customers expect 21p per kWh, and we can do this safe in the knowledge that this has guaranteed until April 1st 2012 so now is a great itme to get great returns on a Solar PV system. 

One of the most common requests from our customers is for duplicate user guides for systems. We're working with our web designers to provide this directly this website, but in the meantime, the link provided provides access to almost all user guides to systems we install. If you can't see the one you want, please get in touch with us in the usual way for assistance.

We sometimes check out our competitors websites and get passed their literature. We read their claims and in some cases we can't really believe what we're reading, because we know what's being written just isn't true. One claims have been established for 8 years yet the truth is that they started working for someone else 8 years ago! Another claims to have been established 2 years longer every year, and makes outlandish claims about how many systems they have fitted.

Due to various factors including unprecedented demand on our services coupled with changes to our engineering team, we are currently running behind on routine service vists. We wish to reassure our customers that new recruits to our team are almost in place, and we will be working hard to get back on schedule as soon as possible. Our priorities have been to respond to faults and breakdowns and to ensure we give the best service possible while we recruited.

We've been badgered into giving "Twitter" a go!

If you're a "Twitterer" then seek us out and follow us @AbatisChris. Our web designers will be adding a link to our front page very soon. Don't forget to seek us out on Facebook too. Or if you're neither a Twitterer or a Facebooker, please check back here for all the latest from the company.

Burglaries continue to be committed in high numbers throughout the East Riding and Lincolnshire county areas. In Grimsby and Cleethorpes alone well over a 110 burglaries were committed in June. Skegness and Lincoln also suffered high numbers of offences being committed.

What would persuade you to go for solar panels on your home? Is it the "ethical" argument (man made Global Warming caused by CO2?) or would the financial attraction of the Governements feed in tariffs do it for you? We're genuinely interested so please feel free to email us with your thoughts.

Abatis Solar is a division of Abatis Fire & Security. For all enquiries relating to this exciting technology-made widely affordable for the first time by the Government FIT''s (feed in tariff)- please drop us an email or call us on 01472 500836.
