Remote or on-site, diagnosed & fixed, back in business.

Help comes from our own technicians on Bishop St N in Cambridge, not a call centre in another province, so reaching Kitchener, Waterloo or Guelph is a short drive.

What Our Clients Say

Emergency IT Questions, Answered

Do I need to be a Helios client to get emergency help?

No. Urgent help is available to any local business, whether or not you already have a support plan with us.

What should I do first if I suspect ransomware?

Disconnect affected computers from the network, don't pay or reply to any demand, and call us. Quick containment limits how far it spreads.

Can you fix the problem remotely?

Many issues can be diagnosed and fixed remotely. If hardware or cabling is involved, a technician comes on site.

What are your hours for emergency calls?

Our office is open Monday to Friday, 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Outside those hours, send a message through our contact form and we'll respond as soon as the team is available.

Can you recover files if we don't have a backup?

Sometimes. Recovery without a backup depends on what failed. We'll tell you honestly what's possible before starting.

How do we avoid the next IT emergency?

Proactive monitoring, tested backups and security management catch most problems early. That's what our managed IT services include.
