Alarm system takeovers in Toronto

When Toronto customers switch to Knightwatch

• Your provider was sold. Bell’s home monitoring business moved to a.p.i. Alarm and ADT Canada became part of TELUS. Many customers use the change to move to a local, family-owned company. See switching from Bell or API Alarm and switching from TELUS or ADT.
• You bought a house or condo with an alarm already installed. Older central-Toronto homes often have a DSC panel from a previous owner that only needs reprogramming and new codes.
• You want someone who answers. Knightwatch has served Toronto since 1988, and the people who install your system also service it.

What a Toronto takeover involves

We identify the panel and keypads, confirm the panel isn’t locked by the old provider, test every door, window, motion and smoke device, and check the backup battery. In older homes with plaster walls we reuse existing wiring wherever possible. If the old system relied on a home phone line, which many Toronto households have dropped, we add a cellular communicator so signals still reach the monitoring station. Certain conditions apply; the free evaluation tells you exactly what can be reused.

Condos and multi-unit buildings

Condo suites often have a small panel installed by the developer. We can usually take these over too, keeping the suite-entry contact and adding monitored flood and smoke detection, which matters when a leak can affect the units below.
