About Us

Our Mission

Gerald Wheatley, the owner of Annapolis Valley Alarms moved to the Annapolis Valley in early 2010 from Halifax. As a Valley resident for the last 15 years, it became apparent that the Annapolis Valley was beginning to have a crime problem after multiple break in attempts. He decided he would pivot from being a lighting consultant and installer to security consultant and installer and launched Annapolis Valley Alarms in September of 2021.

After extensive research and testing, Gerald built up an inventory of reliable, advanced security equipment and a vast body of knowledge to better serve the Annapolis Valley effectively, efficiently and reliably. As a result, AVA can supply some of the most advanced security technology available at affordable prices. Gerald and his install team have the knowledge and experience to safeguard the things that are important to you and your communities.

With unparalleled customer service and technical support, your new advanced security systems and integration will provide years of service keeping your homes and businesses safe from intrusion, theft and vandalism. Annapolis Valley alarms and Gerald will always be here to help see you through with safety and security.
