Chilliwack & the Fraser Valley

Seamless IT.
Effortless business.

Your network, your servers, your backups, your email. Someone has to keep it all running — so you can get on with running the business.

What ongoing support covers — done after hours
What we do

All of it, or the parts you hate

Hourly, flat rate, or prepaid blocks — whichever fits. No contract required to get help.

Day to day

Support that answers

Your staff call us instead of you. Phones, laptops, printers, passwords, the shared drive nobody can find.

Proactive care

Maintenance & health checks

Regular patching, health checks and log reviews so small problems get caught before they turn into downtime.

Wired & wireless

Networking

Firewalls, switches, Wi-Fi, VLANs and VPNs — designed, secured and documented so the connection just works.

Tested, not assumed

Backup & recovery

A backup nobody has restored is a guess. We test yours on a schedule and tell you how long a full recovery takes.

Quietly, in the background

Security

Patching, email filtering, endpoint protection, and staff who can spot a fake invoice before they pay it.

Scoped & delivered

Projects

Server replacements, network builds, office moves, Microsoft 365 migrations — quoted up front, done after hours.

Less manual work

Automation & integration

Connect the apps you already use and automate the repetitive steps, so nobody's retyping the same data twice.

Homes too

Computer repair

Slow PCs, virus removal, SSD upgrades, new machine setup. Flat prices, quoted before we start.

Why Silverback IT

Small shop. Serious systems.

You're not getting a call centre or a ticket that disappears into a queue somewhere else. You're getting one accountable person who knows your setup.

We come to you

Onsite across the Fraser Valley, or remote when that's faster. No unplugging your computer and dropping it off somewhere.

After hours, on purpose

Evenings and Saturdays. Server swaps and migrations happen when your shift isn't running, so nothing stops mid-day.

Plain English

You'll get told what's wrong, what it costs, and what happens if you wait — without jargon designed to make the invoice look bigger.

Priced before the work

Quoted up front, every time. No surprise invoices, no meter running while someone figures it out on your dime.

One accountable person

You deal with me directly. If a job needs an extra pair of hands, I brief them, supervise the work, and stay accountable for it.

Honest about fit

If your problem is better solved by someone else, or not worth paying us for, we'll tell you before you sign anything.

Who we're built for

Businesses that can't stop

Small businesses, roughly 5 to 50 people. Too big for the computer shop, too small to need a full-time IT person.

No IT person

The owner or office manager ends up fixing the printer and resetting passwords between real work. We take that off their plate.

Someone in-house

You have a person who handles the basics but needs backup for bigger work — servers, networks, migrations, or a second opinion.

Systems you rely on

When the computers stop, the business stops. You want things maintained before they break, not just fixed after.

How pricing works

You'll know the number first

Three ways to work together. Whichever fits, every job is quoted before it starts.

Pay as you go

Hourly

For one-off problems and occasional help. Remote support has a 30-minute minimum, then 15-minute increments. Onsite visits have a 1-hour minimum.

Fixed scope

Flat rate per job

For defined work: a new machine setup, a server replacement, a Microsoft 365 migration. One quoted price for the whole job, so overruns are our problem, not yours.

Pay ahead

Prepaid blocks

Buy a block of hours up front at a lower rate and draw it down whenever you need help. Good value once IT stops being occasional.

No contract required to get help. Start with a single call-out and that's it. Need regular coverage? Monthly plans are available on request, built around your setup.
Downtime cost calculator

What does an outage actually cost?

Most businesses underestimate it. Put your numbers in and see what a single outage costs in idle wages alone — before lost sales, missed deadlines, or the phone call to an unhappy customer.

Estimated cost of this outage
$1,800
in idle wages alone

This counts idle wages only. It doesn't include lost sales, missed deadlines, overtime to catch up, or the cost of telling a customer your systems are down. The real number is higher. Regular maintenance and restore-tested backups are how you avoid paying it.

Questions

The things people ask first

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. You can call us for a single problem, pay for that visit, and that's it. Prepaid blocks and monthly plans are there if you need regular help — never a condition of getting it.

What does it cost?

It depends on the work, which is why everything is quoted before it starts. Hourly for one-off problems, a flat price per job for defined work like a server replacement or a Microsoft 365 migration, or a prepaid block of hours at a lower rate.

How is time billed?

Remote support has a 30-minute minimum, then 15-minute increments. Onsite visits have a 1-hour minimum. You'll know which applies before we start.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in your quote, so you'll know the full cost before we come out.

You work evenings and Saturdays — what if something breaks at 10am?

Call or submit a ticket and you'll get a callback after 4:30, same day. If your business is down, submit a P1 ticket and call — we'll respond as fast as we can.

Do you only work with businesses?

No. Home computer help is part of what we do — slow PCs, virus removal, upgrades, new machine setup — quoted before we start.

What areas do you cover?

We come to you across Chilliwack, Sardis, Vedder, Rosedale, Popkum, Agassiz, Harrison, Abbotsford, Mission and Hope. Remote support works anywhere.

We already have an IT person. Can you still help?

Yes. Plenty of businesses have someone in-house who handles the day-to-day and needs backup for bigger pieces — server work, network builds, migrations, or a second opinion. We work alongside them rather than replacing them.

What happens at the free assessment?

We spend about 45 minutes going through your network, devices, backups and security — onsite or remote. Within 24–48 hours you'll get an email recap of what's solid, what's a risk, and what we'd fix first. It's yours to keep whether you hire us or not.

Effortless business.
