FAQ

If you are wondering about help in Hornsby Heights

We find out which before you spend anything. We check the drive's health, how many programs launch at startup and whether updates are stuck. An ageing hard drive is a common culprit, and swapping it for a solid-state drive often brings an old laptop back. We also look at the work email setup on your phone and test the downstairs study Wi-Fi. The price is agreed first.

It depends on the fault and the diary. Onsite visits cover Hornsby Heights, plus nearby Hornsby, Berowra Heights, and Mount Colah, and remote sessions fill the gaps.

If bush streets with steep driveways could slow us down, say so and we will pick a time that works.

Yes. Getting back into accounts, connecting a printer, or sorting email at a family home backing onto the bush is everyday work for us.

If several small things have piled up in Hornsby Heights, we can take them in one visit.

Homes and home offices are in scope, and so are home-based trades and consultants. Large enterprises with 24/7 IT departments are not our focus.

When the home PC and the work laptop share one connection at a family home backing onto the bush, one visit can cover both.

After a short chat about the teenager's gaming PC that keeps crashing, we outline the options and the cost. Bigger jobs get a fixed price once diagnosed.

No Fix, No Repair Fee covers repair work we cannot finish, so families, retirees, and people working from home are not paying for a dead end.
