2018 Security Check Up
There are three reasons to get your alarm regularly serviced:
1. To check it’s working, our technician will make sure the keypad and sirens are functioning, and most importantly that it’s properly connected to our monitoring centre.
2. Having a technician on-site allows us to do a 365 assessment of your home, identify any new areas that need to be monitored and go over any new tech or developments that can enhance your home’s security.
3. Insurers will often offer a discount on your premiums if you have an alarm on your policy - but it’s up to the homeowner to make sure it’s kept in good condition.
Call us on 0800 904904 to arrange a security check-up - February is a great time to make sure your security system is in tip-top shape.
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Poll: Tightening the belt at the pump ... How are you pivoting? 🚌🚲🏠
Between the headlines about the Strait of Hormuz and the creeping costs at our local stations, the "fuel crisis" has moved from the news to our wallets.
A recent opinion piece in The Post suggested that Wellington Councils should be shifting our public facilities to renewable energy ASAP to keep our rates from being vulnerable to these global fuel hikes. It’s a big conversation for the city, but what about your daily commute?
We want to know: With fuel prices staying high for the foreseeable future, are you changing how you get around the capital?

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
