Serving Richmond from 36 Capital Drive, Nepean · 24/7 monitoring · 613-233-1115
Richmond has gone from quiet village to one of Ottawa's fastest-growing communities — new subdivisions filling in around a village core that's been here two hundred years. We handle both ends: finishing the pre-wire in a brand-new build, and modernizing the system in a century home on McBean Street. Munster and Ashton are covered too.
Most new Richmond homes come pre-wired for security. We complete it with a First Alert ProSeries touchscreen, monitored smoke/CO and a video doorbell — typically in half a day, before the moving boxes are even empty.
Older Richmond homes often have an existing alarm from a past owner. In most cases we can reactivate it, switch the monitoring to us for free, and add app control without new wiring.

Three ways to do this
That one answer decides everything else — and in a lot of Richmond houses the panel that is already there can stay — on an app, or just monitored.
The line we are a Premier Pro Partner for. If there is nothing on the wall yet, or what is there is past saving, this is usually the answer.
A working panel and a real phone line is all this needs. We change who it dials and nothing else — no app, no new hardware, nothing to buy.
If there is already a DSC, Honeywell VISTA, Qolsys or 2GIG panel in the house, it can usually stay — and go on an app for the first time. Also our smart-home line.
In Richmond, specifically
Wireless contacts reach most garages and workshops on a normal lot. On a farm some buildings are simply too far; we will tell you on the visit rather than sell you something that drops out, and a battery camera with solar often covers the gap.
Alarm.com reports over its own cellular radio, so a rural property does not need a phone line or home internet for the alarm. Cameras are the exception; they need internet.
If the builder left a panel, check it before you replace it. The lookup tells you whether it can stay and what monitoring it costs.

Questions
Very likely. Most builders rough-in alarm wiring at the panel; we finish the job in about half a day. Send us your closing date and we'll line it up.
Yes — Richmond, Munster, Ashton and the surrounding Goulbourn area are all regular service territory.
Usually, yes, at no charge. A photo of the keypad through our quote form tells us what it is the same day.
Often, with wireless sensors. Distance, metal siding and the layout decide it — we test it on site before quoting.
Yes, so the Ottawa Police Service responds and the City's false-alarm fee applies — about $180 plus tax at the moment, set by the City, subject to change.
Not for the alarm. It reports over cellular. You only need internet for cameras.
