How Much Does a Home Security Audit Cost in Toronto?
A home security audit with Home Security Consultants starts at $590 for a standard GTA home. The fee covers a full in-person assessment of your property, usually one to two hours, and a written report with prioritized, actionable recommendations.
Larger or more complex properties cost more. Contact us, describe your home, and we give you a quote before you commit to anything.
We sell no alarms, cameras, or monitoring contracts, and there are no follow-up sales calls. The audit is the whole service. Pricing last reviewed October 2026.
What Does the $590 Audit Include?
- Full in-person assessment of your property, exterior and interior
- Evaluation of every entry point, sightline, lighting, and access route
- Review of your existing security system and how well it works
- A written report with every finding prioritized and explained in plain language
- Specific, actionable recommendations, not vague advice
The on-site assessment finds the weaknesses. The written report is what you keep: share it with a contractor, use it to prioritize upgrades, or revisit it as you make improvements. For a closer look at the visit itself, see what a home security audit includes.

Book Your Home Security AuditWhat Affects the Cost of a Home Security Audit?
Three things move the price of an audit: the size and complexity of the property, what the price includes, and who is doing the assessing.
Larger properties with more entry points, outbuildings, or complex layouts take longer to assess properly, which is why we quote those individually.
When you compare providers, ask whether a written report is included in the quoted price. A verbal walkthrough is not the same as a permanent record you can act on.
Ask who is doing the assessing and what they sell. An audit from a company that also sells equipment or monitoring can double as a sales visit. Ours cannot: we have no products, so nothing in the report is shaped by what we could sell you afterwards.
Why Is There a Fee for a Security Audit?
Free audits are typically paid for by the equipment or monitoring sale that follows. We charge a fee because we sell nothing. The fee pays for Julian’s time and expertise on your property and for a written report you can rely on. To weigh the two approaches, read whether a free home security audit is really free.
Is a Home Security Audit Worth the Cost?
For most homeowners the real question is what an unnoticed weakness could cost. A break-in costs more than stolen property: insurance deductibles, repairs, and the lasting effect on how safe your home feels. An audit shows you, before anything happens, which features of your property a burglar would find easiest to exploit, and tells you specifically what to change.

What is a home security audit?
A home security audit is an in-person assessment of your home’s physical security. The assessor looks at how someone could get in, what they could see from outside, and how well your lighting and any existing system work, then writes up specific changes in order of priority.
Is there a free home security audit?
