Local, hands-on technology support for businesses and individuals — remote or on-site. Computer repairs, cybersecurity, network solutions, and more. Your IT problem solved.
Serving Vernon, Armstrong, Enderby, Lake Country & the North Okanagan
Technology keeps your business moving — until it doesn’t. Whether your network just went down, your computer is running at a crawl, you’ve been hit by a ransomware attack, or you simply need someone local you can trust for reliable IT support in Vernon BC, Tachyon Business & Computer Solutions is the hands-on local tech team that gets things fixed — and keeps them that way.
Unlike big-city providers or remote-only help desks, we’re right here in the Okanagan. We know the local business landscape, we answer our own phones, and we show up when you need us. That’s the Tachyon difference.
Our IT Support Services
From a single device fix to full managed IT support for your whole organization — we cover it all.
Computer Diagnostics
Slow startup, strange noises, random crashes? We diagnose hardware and software issues precisely, so you’re not paying to guess. Get a clear picture of what’s wrong and what it costs to fix.
Computer Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is the most cost-effective IT decision you can make. We clean, update, tune, and optimize your systems on a schedule — before small issues become expensive downtime.
Backups & Recovery
Data loss is not a matter of if — it’s when. We set up and verify reliable backup systems for your business so that when a drive fails or ransomware strikes, your data comes back fast.
Network Solutions
From small office Wi-Fi setup to multi-location VPN configuration, we design, install, and troubleshoot business networks that are fast, reliable, and secure. No more dead zones or dropped connections.
Technical Support
Need help now? Our remote and on-site technical support resolves software issues, configuration problems, printer nightmares, and everything in between — quickly and without the runaround.
Custom Built Computers
Off-the-shelf PCs are built for average users. We build systems spec’d exactly for your workload — accounting, graphic design, video, or gaming. Better performance, longer lifespan, better value.
Website Maintenance & Security
Your website is a live target. We handle WordPress updates, plugin management, uptime monitoring, malware removal, and SSL — so your online presence stays secure and your visitors stay safe.
How-To Training Sessions
The best technology investment is the one your team actually knows how to use. We run practical, one-on-one or group training sessions on Windows, Microsoft 365, software, and day-to-day tech.
Cybersecurity for Everyone in the Okanagan & BC — Businesses, Homes & Non-Profits
Ransomware attacks, phishing emails, and data breaches don’t discriminate — they target individuals at home, non-profit organizations, small businesses, and large corporations alike. If you have a computer, a phone, or an internet connection in Vernon BC or anywhere in the Okanagan Valley, you’re a potential target. Tachyon provides practical, plain-language cybersecurity guidance and services for everyone: endpoint protection, security patching, network hardening, and awareness training — sized for real people, not just enterprise IT departments.
We also help with website security — malware scanning, WordPress hardening, and comprehensive maintenance & security plans that keep your online presence trustworthy. Further reading: Protecting Your Digital Fortress and Cybersecurity Trends to Watch.
BC
Local expert.
Personal service.
Real accountability.
Pair Your IT Support with Automated Cloud Backup
Even the best IT support can’t recover data that was never backed up. We partner with ClientVaultPro — Canadian-hosted, AES-256 encrypted cloud backup for computers, files, and Microsoft 365. Automated daily backups to secure servers in Canada, starting at $35/month.
We can set this up for you as part of any IT support engagement. Ask us about it when you get in touch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer remote IT support or only on-site service in Vernon BC?
We offer both. Most software issues, configuration problems, and troubleshooting tasks can be handled quickly via secure remote desktop — often within the same business day. For hardware repairs, network installations, or situations where a physical presence is required, we come to your location in Vernon and the surrounding Okanagan Valley.
What areas do you serve beyond Vernon?
Our primary service area covers Vernon and the North Okanagan, including Armstrong, Enderby, Coldstream, and Lake Country. We also service clients further afield via remote support. For on-site visits outside our standard area, a travel fee applies. Contact us to confirm coverage for your location.
Can you help with cybersecurity for my small business?
Absolutely. Cybersecurity is one of our core service areas. We help small and mid-size Okanagan businesses with endpoint protection, software patching, network security, ransomware prevention, and staff guidance. You don’t need an enterprise IT budget to have solid cybersecurity practices — you just need the right local partner. Contact us for a no-obligation Maintenance & Security Plans quote for ongoing protection.
How much does IT support cost in Vernon BC?
Costs vary by the type and scope of work. For one-off repairs and support calls, we charge a transparent hourly rate with a clear quote before work begins. For businesses needing ongoing support, we offer monthly retainer plans starting at $185/month, which include dedicated remote hours, proactive monitoring, and priority response times. Get in touch for a no-obligation quote tailored to your needs.
What should I do if my computer gets a virus or ransomware?
Disconnect from the internet immediately — unplug the network cable or turn off Wi-Fi — to prevent the infection from spreading. Do not turn the computer off. Then contact us right away. Time is critical with ransomware. We perform malware removal, assess the scope of the damage, and help restore from backup where available. This is why we strongly recommend a current, tested backup for every business — ask us about ClientVaultPro for automated cloud backup.
Can you build or upgrade a computer for my business?
Yes. We build custom computers spec’d precisely to your workload — whether that’s an accounting workstation, a graphic design rig, a dedicated server, or a high-performance gaming PC. Custom builds typically outperform comparably priced off-the-shelf machines and last significantly longer. See our Custom Build Computers page for details.
Do you support non-profit organizations?
Yes — we offer reduced-rate web design, maintenance, and IT services for registered non-profits and charities in the Okanagan Valley and BC. Technology shouldn’t be a barrier for organizations doing good work in our community. Learn more and apply here.
