Can I use an alarm system if I have pets?

Yes! Pets need protection from intruders and fire as well. Systems can be configured to work around pets by bypassing zones or upgrading to pet-friendly devices. Our Security Expert will be glad to advise you.

What happens if I move?

An alarm system adds value to your home! In most cases, you can have your contract assumed by the new owner and/or transfer your contract to your new premise. Some conditions apply.

What happens if I already have an alarm system? Is it easy to switch to PROTECTION PLUS?

Yes. In most cases, alarm equipment can be reprogrammed by our trained technicians to communicate with our Emergency Response Center. Ask one of our Security Experts for details.

How do I know if I am currently under a monitoring contract?

For liability purposes, you are always under contract until the service is terminated. What you need to know is how much notice is required to cancel your existing monitoring agreement. If you have been with the company for longer than your initial contract term, a minimum of 30-90 days written notice is required to cancel service. For your specific notification period, read the terms and conditions on the back of your contract or contact your existing monitoring provider.

How do I know if I own my security system?

The original contract you signed when the alarm was installed will tell you if it is a rental, lease or sale agreement. With PROTECTION PLUS, alarm system ownership is always part of the contract.

Is there a contract with PROTECTION PLUS ?

Yes, the initial commitment is for only 3 years.

Do I have a warranty with PROTECTION PLUS?

Yes! PROTECTION PLUS provides a limited warranty on new installations. Trip charges may apply.

Do you install security equipment purchased elsewhere?

No, unfortunately we do not. We would not be able to stand behind its functionality or provide a warranty.

Do you have locksmiths and alarm technicians on staff?

Yes, we have trained locksmiths on staff. They are bonded and have received training through The Association of Ontario Locksmiths. Our on-staff trained alarm technicians are bonded and trained based on CANASA procedures. CANASA is the Canadian Alarm and Security Association.

Does the system work with an app?

In many cases, yes. Alarm apps provide users with remote control and monitoring of their security systems via smartphones or tablets. These apps enable arming and disarming alarms, receiving instant notifications, viewing live video feeds, and managing connected smart devices, offering convenience and peace of mind through real-time access and control.
