Home & Business Security Systems | Niagara Falls, Hamilton & Toronto

It depends on the size of your home and what you want covered. Most people spend somewhere between $500 and $1,500 for equipment and installation. Monthly monitoring runs $30-$60. If you don't want to pay anything upfront, we have no upfront cost options too. You just pay the monthly monitoring fee and the equipment is included.

We cover the Niagara Region (Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Fort Erie, Welland, Port Colborne, Grimsby, Lincoln, Thorold), the Hamilton area (Hamilton, Burlington, Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Dundas), and the GTA (Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, Milton, Ajax). We also reach Guelph, Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Brantford. Not sure if we cover your area? Just call and ask.

Yes. ULC is the highest standard for alarm monitoring in Canada. Our monitoring centre has that certification, which means it meets strict national safety and reliability requirements. It also matters for insurance. A lot of insurers won't give you the full discount unless your monitoring is ULC-certified.

Wireless is easier to install. No drilling through walls, so it's usually the better call for existing homes. Wired is rock solid and works great if you're building new or doing a major reno. Honestly, both do the job well. When we come out and look at your home security system, we'll tell you which one makes more sense and why.

Yep. You get a mobile app that lets you arm and disarm your system, check your security cameras, lock and unlock doors, and get alerts when something happens. Works from anywhere. At the office, on vacation, wherever.

The signal goes straight to our 24/7 monitoring centre over a cellular connection. An operator picks up, calls you to check if it's real, and asks for your verbal password. If you don't answer or you confirm there's a problem, they send police, fire, or EMS right away. The whole thing usually happens in under 60 seconds.

No. We don't lock you into multi-year deals like TELUS, ADT, or Vivint do. You stay because the service is good, not because you're stuck in a contract you can't get out of. Thinking about switching? Check out our alarm system takeover service.

Usually, yes. Most insurance companies knock 5-20% off your premiums when you have a professionally monitored alarm. ULC-certified monitoring like ours gets you the biggest discount because it's the standard insurers actually trust. We hand you a monitoring certificate after installation so you can send it straight to your insurer.

Yep. We do alarm takeovers all the time. In most cases we can keep your existing sensors, wiring, and even the panel. We reprogram it, hook it up to our monitoring centre, and you're done. Usually takes one visit. No charge for the assessment.

Yes. Every panel we install has a battery backup that keeps things running for hours. The cellular connection to our monitoring centre stays active the whole time. If the backup starts running low, the system sends us an alert. You're never unprotected because the hydro went out.

If you're in Niagara, Hamilton, the GTA, Halton, Durham, Wellington, Brant, or Norfolk, Force Security is genuinely local. Our installers live in the same cities they install in. We're not a national brand routing your call to a Texas dispatch centre. Pick your city from the service area page and you'll see the actual technicians who'd be on your property within a week or two of signing up.

Honest answer: it depends on your property. A 1200 sq ft condo wants different gear than a 3500 sq ft two-storey or a rural farm with three outbuildings. The best alarm security system for your home is the one designed around your specific layout, daily routine, and budget. We do free property assessments where a technician walks the property and recommends what actually fits. DSC, Honeywell, or Qolsys hardware. ULC-certified monitoring. No high-pressure sales pitch.

We do. Free property assessments are part of our standard process. A technician visits your home, walks the perimeter, identifies vulnerabilities, listens to what you've already got, and tells you what we'd recommend. Zero charge. Zero pressure. Most people get the assessment and either move forward, take the recommendations to think about, or share them with whoever else they're considering. All three are fine with us.

The honest version: ask for the actual installer's location. National brands often subcontract to whoever's available, which is why a TELUS or ADT install can mean someone driving from another city. Force Security installers live in the regions we serve. Niagara Falls, Hamilton, Burlington, Toronto, Mississauga, and across Southern Ontario. When we book your install, we tell you who's coming. They've worked properties like yours before.

Force Security doesn't lock you into 3-year or 5-year contracts the way the national companies do. Our monitoring agreements are simple and reasonable. You stay because the service is good, not because you signed a binder of legal small print. If you want out, you're out. That's how it should be. It's also one of the main reasons our customers leave ADT, TELUS, and Vivint to come to us.
