2Same-Day Help Where Possible
For urgent issues we offer same-day onsite or remote support, subject to engineer availability. Just book online or call — we'll get to you fast.
3Transparent, Honest Pricing
Simple $160/hour rate. No call-out fees for Greater Hobart. 30-minute increments after the first hour. We tell you what something will cost before we do it.
What We Help With
Slow Computers
If your computer takes minutes to start, freezes on simple tasks, or struggles to run everyday apps, we diagnose the real cause — bloated startup programs, fragmented storage, malware, failing drives or insufficient memory — and apply targeted fixes to get it running like new without unnecessary upgrades.
WiFi Problems
Dropouts, weak signal in certain rooms, slow speeds, or devices that refuse to connect? We test your network end-to-end, reposition or replace routers, configure dual-band channels, and set up mesh systems where needed so every corner of your home or office gets reliable coverage.
Printer Issues
Printers can be frustrating — paper jams, offline errors, wireless connection drops, scanning that no longer works. We handle setup, network configuration, driver issues, and ongoing connectivity problems for all major brands including HP, Brother, Canon, Epson and Xerox.
Email Setup
Setting up a new email account, migrating between providers, fixing send/receive errors, configuring signatures, or recovering access to a locked Gmail, Outlook or business account. We make sure your email works reliably across desktop, laptop and mobile.
Microsoft 365 Support
Full Microsoft 365 support: licence setup, OneDrive sync, Teams configuration, SharePoint basics, Outlook profile issues, calendar sharing, and resolving the everyday glitches that get in the way of work. Ideal for small businesses standardising on Microsoft 365.
New Device Setup
Brand new laptop, desktop or tablet? We handle the full setup — Windows or macOS configuration, data migration from your old device, installing essential applications, signing into your accounts, and walking you through any new features so nothing is left half-done.
Software Troubleshooting
Apps crashing, error messages you can't decode, updates failing, or programs that refuse to install? We troubleshoot common business and household software including Microsoft Office, accounting tools like MYOB and Xero, browsers, antivirus suites and creative apps.
Remote Support
Many issues don't need an onsite visit. With your permission we connect to your computer using secure remote support tools — typically resolving software issues, email problems and account setup in under an hour, at the same hourly rate without any travel fees.
Small Business Support
Practical IT support for small businesses across Greater Hobart — staff onboarding, shared drive setup, printer fleet management, basic network management, account migrations, and being available when something breaks so your team can get back to work quickly.
Data Backup Guidance
Losing important files can be devastating. We help you set up a sensible backup approach using OneDrive, Google Drive, external hard drives or a combination, so your photos, documents and business data are safe even if a device fails or is stolen.
