Buffalo Home Security Alarm Systems & Services

On the outside, a home may appear to be a little more than bricks and mortar or the lumber and siding that go into its construction. But on the inside, it is inhabited by our most valued loved ones and possessions along with the traditions they encompass.

Today it is becoming more and more of a tradition for families to turn to Amherst Alarm for one of the most advanced home security systems available. Happily, they are discovering that our home security systems provide them with peace of mind when it comes to responding to everything from intruders and fire to medical emergencies.

The Security Industry Alarm Coalition (SIAC) has recognized Amherst Alarm, Inc., with its prestigious 2015 Police Dispatch Quality (PDQ) Award. The PDQ award is given to the company that promotes best practices with law enforcement to reduce the number of unnecessary dispatches to alarm customers. For more information, click here!

Frequently Asked Questions

Each of our customers has their own individual needs and concerns, so please feel free to contact us at (716) 632-4600 with any questions you may have.

Amherst Alarm is similar to any utility company; we need an adequate amount of time to process your cancellation request. Please notify us approximately one week prior to your closing date so we can get all documentation processed. We will also need to stop by your house to reconfigure the system, so alarms are no longer transmitted, at no charge. For more information, visit our moving page or give us a call at (716) 632-4600.

Contact our office, we will be glad to assist you! You will need to come to our office with ID and proper documentation for verification before any changes can be made. For more information, give us a call at (716) 632-4600.

No. Most alarm systems can have multiple codes. We can help you program a temporary code for your friend to use. You can give us a temporary password to be used while you are away.

I have been a client of Amherst Alarm for almost 25 years. They installed my original system and a few upgrades over the years. They are always respectful of my needs and don't try to sell me things I don't need. Technicians are knowledgeable and tidy about their work. I live on the border of two towns and the city, and it is a comfort to know they are local, and can appropriately dispatch the correct services when needed. Do not hesitate to engage their services, after all this time I still think they are the best at what they do!

Amherst Alarm Inc. has been with me all the way. Both my salesperson, Bob, and my technology wizard, Dan, our fabulous to work with. I feel like they have my back!

The experience with Tony and his installation crew was easy, fast, and very thorough. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience or equipment.

We had a great experience with Amherst Alarm's technician, Dan. He adjusted our camera system and did a check on our alarm system. Dan spent a lot of time to thoroughly explain everything to us. We appreciate his professionalism, and would highly recommend him and his company to anyone looking for alarm services.
