Home IT support without the panic.

Simple monthly care for home devices, with remote help, security checks, backup support and visits by appointment when hands-on help is needed.

Home computer help without the jargon.

Backup IT helps home users with slow computers, virus worries, email problems, printer setup, software issues, backup planning and general device support. Most problems can be looked at remotely, with home visits available by appointment when hands-on help is needed.

The Home Service Plan is designed for people who want regular care rather than waiting until something breaks. It includes remote support, security checks, performance tune-ups and guidance on keeping important files backed up safely.
