ProTELEC is pleased to announce the sale of its residential security business to a.p.i. Alarm Inc. on July 2, 2019. ProTELEC’s residential monitoring services have been permanently and securely transferred to a.p.i. Alarm Inc., and a forwarding system is activated so all customers have immediate access to a.p.i. Alarm Inc.’s Emergency Monitoring Centre. All ProTELEC residential customers are being notified of this transition by letter, and an FAQ webpage contains additional details.
ProTELEC has been family-owned and -operated since 1968, and we are proud of the reputation we have built as a top-flight security systems and residential monitoring provider in western Canada. For over 50 years, we have given our customers the assurance that their residence is secure and being monitored by security system experts they can trust.
With this important responsibility top of mind, we set out to carefully select the right company with the right customer care team to be your new residential security provider. We are pleased to have found that partner in a.p.i. Alarm Inc., a family-owned, 100% Canadian company with a Five Diamond Certified and ULC Listed, annually inspected Emergency Monitoring Centre (as is ProTELEC). Since 1983, a.p.i. Alarm Inc. has provided alarm installation and ULC-approved monitoring services to Canadians. Today, it is the country’s largest full-service security company, and its service professionals are experts in the residential security monitoring market.
The sale of ProTELEC’s residential business allows full-time focus on our fast-growing commercial business in the security and lone-worker safety industries. Over the past year and a half, we have seen our business expand with integrated security services and cutting-edge technology which include alarms, CCTV, door access and intercom systems. We continue to service our long-standing clients at hospitals, property management companies, industrial, financial and agricultural businesses, and have become a security systems leader in the cannabis producer market.
Although the next chapter for ProTELEC Alarms is focusing on our growing commercial security and monitoring division, we will always remember and be grateful for the trust our residential customers gave us. We appreciate your understanding during this transition. On behalf of ProTELEC’s Security + Safety management and team, we thank our customers for their support and for the opportunity to have served them.
Sincerely,
Harry Black
President
