Safety Quiz

Huronia Alarm & Fire Security has been a trusted alarm company in our communities for over 30 years. Our clients put their trust for the security of their homes and business in our hands. When you have a monitored alarm system you are essentially giving that company the keys to your premise. Would you give a complete stranger the keys to your house or business?

There will always be someone out there who can do something cheaper. It may be fine to go with the cheapest price when you are purchasing non-essential items but not for the protection of your lives and property. We encourage our clients to shop around but please do the due diligence necessary for this important purchase. Please ask the following questions:

Is the service/installation company ULC listed as well as the monitoring station?

Who will be servicing the system and what is the response time for service?

How many technicians are available for emergency service?

Do they offer 24 hour emergency service?

Are the technicians trained through the Canadian Security Association (CANASA)?

What is the name and location of the monitoring station that will be monitoring your system?

Find out the telephone number of the monitoring station and call the station to see if you have to wait on hold for long periods of time.

Who actually “owns” your account? Is the person who is selling you the system turning around and selling your account to another company?

What are the conditions of the contract? Will the rates go up after the first year?

How much are extra monitoring services? I.e. charges for openings/closings, reports etc.

Is there a limit to the number of signals sent to the monitoring station every month?

Do you see their decals around town?

Can the company provide you with a list of clients as references?

Can you stop in and talk to their clients?

Please call us to discuss your security needs.
