Picked a wireless panel over hardwired for a tricky retrofit and it saved me 6 hours of crawl space work

Had a customer in an older split level who wanted a full alarm system but the finished basement made running wires a nightmare. I normally go hardwired because it's more reliable long term, but after looking at the layout I decided to try a wireless Qolsys panel instead. Took me one afternoon to get everything set up and paired. Customer has had it for 3 months now with zero false alarms. Has anyone else switched to wireless for tough retrofits and stuck with it?

Actually it's mostly reliable these days too. Wireless panels have gotten way better than people think especially with that Qolsys stuff. The lithium batteries last years in most sensors.

Glad to hear the wireless setup worked out for you, that crawl space sounds like a nightmare avoided.
