Home visit or collect and return. If your device is damaged or you don't want to disconnect it, I can come to your home and carry out the repair there. Alternatively, after a short consultation I'll collect your device, repair it in my workshop and return it when it's done. It's all down to whichever service suits you best.
Got a small fix or a niggling little issue? Give me a call and tell me what's going on, and I'll let you know the best way to sort it.
Home computer health check
Having trouble with a slow computer? Home Tech Rescue has you covered.
A slow computer is extremely frustrating! Over time, everyday use leads to unnecessary files, a build-up of internet history and old, forgotten programs clogging up your hard drive. This causes slow, buggy software.
My industry standard methods and health check techniques find the underlying cause of your issues, identify your computer's faults and eliminate them. A health check keeps your computer running smoothly and improves the speed and general stability of your PC or laptop by detecting potential issues and taking fast action. It's a good idea to have your device checked over every once in a while.
What the health check covers
It's suitable for any Windows or Mac desktop or laptop.
- I check that your operating system and software are up to date with the latest manufacturer patches and updates.
- I make sure your hard drive and memory are performing as they should.
- I run comprehensive anti-malware checks.
Afterwards you get a full inventory of how your device is configured and what software it has installed, a list of everything I did to correct performance issues, and my recommendations for the future.
Hardware upgrades
Brought home new RAM or an SSD but don't know how to fit it inside your device? Is your computer no longer keeping up with your software or gaming needs?
You may decide you'd like your computer to be a little faster or run software better, with a more cost-effective option than buying a new machine. For PC and laptop upgrades, Home Tech Rescue can help.
Once we've established your needs and I've assessed what your device is capable of, I'll recommend which new components would suit it best. Once they've been bought, I'll install them for you.
In some cases I may recommend buying a new machine instead, when upgrades won't give the improvement you need (more common with laptops). Whatever the case, I'll advise honestly on the best course of action for you.
Having problems with your computer or device?
Minor or severe, don't hesitate to get in touch. Give me a call to talk it through, and I'll arrange a visit at a time that suits you.
