Testimonials

  • I am glad I have this service.
    -Margaret, ON
  • I am extremely pleased with your service. When I did not notify you that I would be on holiday, you called my son to inform him that I had not turned my alarm off after day 2 and that he should check on me. As a senior, I really appreciate what I refer to as service beyond the call of duty. Thank you.
    -Lanadale, ON
  • Installer Trevor was excellent. A good representative of AlarmForce. Both knowledgeable and helpful. Answered all my questions. Thank you!
    -Gerald, AB
  • Install tech was very personable, professional and knowledgeable. If he's any representation of AlarmForce I look forward to working with your team.
    -Darlene, OH
  • I am a realtor in Columbus, Ohio and have had several listing where the residence was vacant throughout the time it was listed for sale. One of the residences suffered extensive vandalism which included having all of the copper plumbing ripped put of the home. After repairs and renovations were completed, new appliances were purchased and delivered. Several friends warned me of the high probability that the appliances could be stolen. I contacted AlarmForce and learned that their system was not only portable but did not require a landline telephone to operate. I ordered the system and have had no attempts by vandals to break into the home. When the property is sold, I will move the system to the next vacant home that I list for sale. I may actually purchase another system. I recommend all realtors to consider using your system. Thanks, AlarmForce.

  • I feel very comfortable with your alarm system. When testing and the alarm has gone off, they phone right away. My other alarm company waited 2-3 minutes before they phoned. I'm alone a lot and lot at night and feel very secure with AlarmForce. Thank you.
    -Rod, AB
  • I want to thank you most sincerely for your response this morning when I apparently triggered a false alarm at our residence and left our back door unlocked.  I was having some difficulty with my wife when we left (she has Alzheimer's disease).  When I returned about an hour later I noticed the door was now locked and the telephone was ringing.  It was your office with notification of the alarm and your response. Our son also phoned shortly afterwards to advise that you had notified him also in response to the alarm.  I had also neglected to turn on my cell phone. Again, my sincere appreciation for your immediate response and corrective action; but then, that's why we subscribe to AlarmForce. But please accept my apology for causing the problem in the first place.
    -Norman, ON
  • We have used your services for over 4 years now and we have always received excellent responses as well as superb service.  We are extremely pleased with your service.
