Poor Alarm Company
Alarm Force is a great marketing company, but a poor alarm company. The equipment is rented, minimal, and poor quality. The 2 way voice is a gimmick that is easily defeated. Listen to the words carefully when they advertise…they have good lawyers and just barely avoid false advertising. I think I will stick with reputable companies like Sears that installs real branded equipment that I own, and they care about my business because they have a lot more at stake than my monitoring money.

if you are canadian and are interested in getting an alarm, go with a.p.i alarm. alarm force uses shitty equipment and its ugly too…api offers everything that alarm force does except they use trusted equipment – DSC is what i have. alarm force dont have line seizure either which means that if the phone line is off the hook, their monitoring station wont get a signal.
im pretty sure a.p.i is the largest canadian owned monitoring station and i have been more than happy to be with them. clean work and expert service. they are ulc listed as well. alarm force doesnt even have their own monitoring station…its cheap equipment, thats why they can offer you $25/month and free install…you get what you pay for…pay a little more get a lot more…adt, chubb, and a.p.i is what i recommend…definitely NO alarm force. but again if you are canadian, stay canadian…obama says dont buy canadian, so why should we buy american…do what you want but its better to have peace of mind than uncertainty that comes with alarm force…two way voice is bs anyways…it only works by the key pad…what if your not there…a.pi. adt or chubb
Me too i have problems with this company. Witch i was force to take when i bought the house.
They are charging my credit card directly and when my credit card expired they never sent or call to ask for the new credit card number. I have to admit that i didn’t call them but the fact is that they sent my account for collection. I owe them little money and because the way the contract is made I end-up with a 850$ bill.
Be aware of this company. They charge 25$ per month but if you have an overdue then they charge 100$ fee to send you in collection + in the collection agency they charge you for the balance of the contract and also fees to send you in collection.
This is outrageous. I tried to pay the small amount I owe them but they don’t want. They want the 100$ to having sent me to collection but the collection agency didn’t reach me yet.
Tell me what you're thinking...
