Understanding Your Options Before You Compare Prices

Most people do not arrive here knowing whether they need an in-home visit, a remote session, or a monthly plan. They just know something at home is frustrating, confusing, or overdue for attention.

That is why this pricing page is organized by service type first. The goal is not just to show numbers. It is to help you understand which kind of help usually makes sense for the situation.

In-home support is usually the best fit when multiple devices are involved, the household setup matters, or an older adult would feel better with someone there in person. Remote support is for active members once remote access is already set up securely. Managed Protection Service is for households that want prevention, protection, and calmer maintenance instead of waiting for the next crisis.

If you want a broader overview before comparing rates, you can also visit Tech Support on Long Island, In-Home Tech Support on Long Island, or Managed Protection Service.

In-Home Tech Support Pricing

$150 for the first hour (minimum)
$50 for each additional 30 minutes

Travel Time

First 30 minutes included each way.
After that: $30 per 30 minutes

Member In-Home

$100 for the first hour
$45 for each additional 30 minutes

Travel Time

What In-Home Pricing Usually Means for Families and Seniors

Many families land on this page while trying to help a parent, spouse, or busy household that has several small problems mixed together. The printer is not connecting. The Wi-Fi is weak in one room. The TV remote setup is confusing. The laptop is also slow. In situations like that, a single in-home visit is often the most practical and cost-effective place to begin because the whole environment can be reviewed together.

That does not mean every household needs a membership or a long-term plan. Sometimes one visit is enough. Sometimes a visit leads to a better understanding of what can be handled remotely later. The important thing is that the pricing stays clear and the recommendation stays honest.

If the problem is clearly about Wi-Fi setup, TV and streaming setup, or smart home setup, those pages can also help you decide what to expect.

Remote Tech Support Pricing

Remote support is available only for active members after secure remote access has been set up.

Non-Member Remote

Not available without membership.

Remote support requires active membership and initial setup so we can connect securely and support your system properly.

If you are not a member, start with an in-home visit.

Member Remote

$75 for the first hour
$40 for each additional 30 minutes

Great for slow computers, software issues, email cleanup, login issues, and many day-to-day fixes once remote access is in place.

Annual Membership Pricing

$199 per year, which works out to about $16.58 per month billed annually.

Membership is a good fit for households that expect to need help more than once, want lower in-home rates, and want the option of secure remote support later. It is especially useful for families helping a parent, because once the initial setup is complete, follow-up help can often happen more quickly and with less friction.

Membership does not force you into a monthly repair plan. It simply improves pricing, expands the support options available to you, and makes it easier to get help again when needed.
