    False Alarms and Security Systems: The Hidden Cost for Landlords and Business Owners
  • Spring is one of the busiest moving seasons in Canada. New keys, fresh paint, and a clean slate. It feels like a fresh start. But here is something most homeowners overlook. Just because you have the keys does not mean you are the only one with access. If you have recently moved or are planning to move this April, securing your home should be one of the first things on your checklist. Not later. Not after unpacking. Right away. Why New Homes Come with Hidden Security Risks When you move into a new home, you inherit more than just the space. You also inherit its past access points. That includes: Previous homeowners Contractors or renovation crews Real estate agents Cleaning services Neighbours who may have had spare keys There is no way to know how many copies of your keys exist or who might still have access. Even if everyone had good intentions, this creates uncertainty. And in home security, uncertainty is a risk. What You Should Change Immediately After Moving In Before you settle into routines, take time to secure the essentials. These are quick fixes that make a big difference. 1. Replace or Rekey All Door Locks This is the most important step. Even if the previous owner hands over all keys, there is no guarantee that duplicates were not made. Rekeying or replacing locks ensures that only you and your household have access. Focus on: Front and back doors Side entrances Garage entry doors 2. Reset Garage Access Garages are one of the most overlooked entry points. If your garage connects to your home, treat it like a main entrance. Make sure you: Change the keypad code Clear any programmed remotes Avoid leaving garage remotes visible in your car 3. Update Alarm Codes and Smart Access If the home already has a security system or smart locks, update everything. You want full control over who can arm, disarm, or access your home. This includes: Alarm system passcodes Smart lock access codes App logins and permissions 4. Check Windows and Secondary Entry Points Windows are often ignored during a move. There are common weak points, especially in older homes. Take a few minutes to: Test all window locks Inspect basement and ground-level windows Look for damaged or loose latches Why Installing a Security System Early Matters Many homeowners delay installing a security system until after they have settled in. That gap is exactly when homes are most vulnerable. It is not just about reacting to threats. It is about preventing them. Moving periods often mean: Boxes and valuables in plain sight Doors opening and closing frequently Unfamiliar neighbours and surroundings Irregular schedules Installing a monitored system early helps you: Protect your home from day one Receive instant alerts for unusual activity Ensure emergency response if something happens Build secure habits right away Build Security Into Your New Routine A new home is the perfect time to build better habits. Start simple: Lock doors consistently, even during the day Close the garage fully every time Avoid leaving packages unattended Get to know your neighbours Start Secure with Alarm Guard Moving is a fresh start. Your home security should be part of that from the beginning. Alarm Guard Security helps homeowners protect what matters with customized security systems and 24-hour professional monitoring. From smart alarms to surveillance and real-time alerts, their solutions are designed to fit your home and your routine. If you have recently moved or are planning to, now is the time to secure your space properly.
