Switching Security Company FAQs

Should I switch security companies?

People most commonly switch security companies due to a lack of service and support. An effective security solution is all about response, and when you cannot get ahold of anyone to address system malfunctions, upgrade requests, or alarm incidents, your home or business is at risk.

At TELSCO, we focus on being responsive throughout all aspects of your security experience.

  • Our average time for live answering phone calls is 11.5 seconds
  • Our average alarm response time is 33 seconds
  • Our expectation for onsite service is 3 business days

How do I switch my security services to a new company?

When considering switching your security services, there are a few things you will want to consider. A professional consultant will ask these questions when you call to inquire about switching, but some initial research will help ensure you are prepared.

  • Are you in a contract? If you are in a contract, is there a buy-out or cancellation fee?
  • Do you own your security hardware or is it a rental/lease?
  • What services are you currently subscribed for? Are your services for security only, or do you also have fire monitoring, ULC fire monitoring, or elevator monitoring to consider?
  • Why are you switching? Think about where your provider is falling short and ensure that you focus on key questions to ensure that the new company will be able to meet your needs

Can I use my existing hardware with a new security company?

The simple answer is Yes. In many cases, a new security provider will be able to use your existing hardware with some adjustments for communication and compatibility. With over 50 years of experience and many long-tenured employees, we are very familiar a wide variety of systems (new and old) and our team is well equipped to make recommendations that will allow you to get the most out of your original investment.
