Already have an alarm? Start there.
Moving into a Chilliwack home with an alarm on the wall does not automatically mean you need a replacement. CMS Security can assess the existing equipment for a monitoring takeover, service a traditional hardwired system, or install a new touchscreen system.
If you are starting from scratch, we will help you plan protection around your entrances, household routines and the spaces you actually use. In either case, our monitoring starts at $14.99 per month, with month-to-month service and no long-term contracts.

Where are you starting?
Keep it, update it, or start fresh
An alarm from another provider
A takeover may let you keep working equipment and change monitoring providers. We assess the panel and its monitoring connection before recommending what needs to change.
A system that needs updating
If your needs have changed, ask about servicing your existing system or adding compatible touchscreen and smartphone features. A full replacement is not always the starting point.

We serve Chilliwack homes in areas including Sardis, Promontory and Vedder Crossing, as well as properties around Rosedale, Greendale and Yarrow. The useful questions are about your particular home: where people enter, which spaces need protection, and how the alarm will connect to monitoring.
Separate entrances and everyday access
For a home with a lower-level entrance, attached garage or separate living space, explain how each entrance is used. Decide who needs access and which areas you want protected while someone is still at home. These details help shape a system that is practical to use every day.
Detached garages, workshops and acreage homes
If your property includes a detached building, include it in the initial conversation. Describe its distance from the house and whether you want it covered by the alarm. Building materials, equipment range and the available connection need to be assessed before coverage can be confirmed.
A monitoring connection that suits your home
Let us know if you no longer have a landline or are changing your phone service. Ask about cellular monitoring for a compatible system, with reception checked at your property. Mention any detached spaces at the same time so the whole setup can be considered together.
Not sure what is already installed? A photo of the keypad and the panel model, if available, is a useful starting point. You do not need to know which system to buy before contacting us.
Three things to tell us when you call
1. What is in the home now?Tell us whether you have an active alarm, an unused system or no equipment at all. If another company monitors it, review your current agreement and cancellation requirements before arranging a switch.
2. What would you like to protect?Describe the main home, separate entrances and any garage or workshop. Mention pets and who needs to use the system so we can discuss a setup that fits your routine.
3. What would you like to do differently?You might want simpler controls, monitoring for an existing alarm or smartphone access. We can explain the available options and provide an estimate before you decide.

Questions about keeping or replacing your alarm
I have just moved into a Chilliwack home with an alarm. What should I do first?
Ask us to assess the existing system before buying new equipment. Share the panel model if you have it and tell us whether the system is currently monitored. We can then discuss a takeover, service work or a new installation based on what is there.
Can you service a hardwired alarm, or do you only install touchscreens?
We install and service both traditional hardwired alarm systems and modern touchscreen systems. Tell us what you have and what you want to change; the condition and compatibility of the equipment will guide the recommendation.
Can I keep my existing equipment when I switch to CMS?
A monitoring takeover may allow you to reuse compatible equipment. The panel, sensors and monitoring connection need to be assessed. Check the terms of your current provider’s agreement before cancelling that service.
Can you assess an acreage or a property with a workshop?
Yes. Tell us where the property is and which buildings you want included. For detached spaces, distance, construction and available connections affect the options. We assess those requirements before confirming the scope of the system.
What does monitoring cost, and am I tied to a long-term contract?
Monitoring starts at $14.99 per month. CMS offers local, Canadian alarm service on a month-to-month basis with no long-term contracts. Contact us to discuss the monitoring option that suits your system.
