Tech Help is the best! Thomas always solves any issue I have effectively & quickly. He makes it as painless as possible! I have worked with the team over many years. Whether it’s consulting before a purchase, helping with set up or troubleshooting, they are excellent at all!
Description of Work: Thomas helped me with a software issue that was preventing me from receiving me email on my iPhone. Thomas seamlessly fixed the issue with me remotely without impacting anything else.

Tom, son of owner David, was terrific. This service required coming to our house and trying to extract data from an old desktop that could no longer be started to a new desktop just purchased. Tom was able to extract the data from the hard drive of the old desktop, and to highlight issues and possible resolutions to some items that could not be transferred (such as application programs that had been installed from CDs that were no longer supported). Friendly, empathetic, respectful of health protocols, and, most importantly, proficient are adjectives I would use to describe Tom.

As usual, Tech Help Boston did an outstanding job. I have used them for several years, they always have resolved my problems. I do a great deal of photo editing on my computer, it's very important to have the system working properly. I've had several problems recently, including an email issue that was actually quite complicated (at least for me!). It was taken care of remotely, I continue to be very pleased with the technical support I receive from Tech Help Boston.

A remote session led to problem identification and solution. I have been grateful for Tech Help Boston efficient, common sense problem solving and breadth of knowledge. Since 2007, they have assisted through 11 different computers, 7 operating systems, untold accessories and peripherals. Unlike help desks, they are readily available and understand cross program interfaces (MAC and PC). They have kept me operating efficiently with low stress. Outstanding company

The people at Comcast assured us that we could install the new router ourselves, that it was a fairly simple procedure. One look at the gadget and the manual when we got home convinced us that we would save ourselves a lot of grief by getting help. I have used Tech Help Boston on several occasions in the past 5 years or so, and so I called them. The Tech Help people have always been terrific, and the same was true on this visit: Thomas Elmasian is smart, knowledgeable, listens, and is incredibly patient on the phone with companies like Comcast and in person with computer novices like me and my husband. While he was here, he also helped me with some problems on my desktop computer. I expect to be calling Tech Help next year when I replace my current desktop with a new one.

I've heard that runners get a high after a run. My computer is eleven years old this month. It runs on Vista and uses Office 2007. I use it for personal purposed and part-time work. Outlook had stopped and things just slowed down to a crawl as soon as I renewed my McAfee subscription on last Friday. Bill from Tech Help Boston was here all morning going through all kinds of fixes in the system. When he finally said let's try the e-mail and it worked, I got high that that will last for the month. He continued and added a few programs to keep things running well. Come spring I will be buying a new system and you can bet that Tech Help will be companion in purchasing and installation. Wow, I'm still cruising along through the stratosphere. Thank you Bill and Tech Help Boston. Aram

Thanks for the feedback, we are pleased that we were able to setup your new system and transfer everything over from the old to the new, its something we take a lot of pride in! Although the technician had to transfer over some of your contacts manually, this is part of our service and I will let your technician know that you are happy with everything. In the case of the old hard drive, we were fortunate that it hadn't been completely unusable so as to not to be able to move your old information off. Thanks again, and thank you for being a great client of Tech Help Boston!

He answered my questions and helped me do some things which have made my MacBook Pro much simpler for me to use. He also gave me some good advice about the purchase of upgrades and a replacement mouse. I appreciated that he did not salt his conversation with computer-speak but, at the same time, did not treat me like a computer idiot.

Thank you for the constructive feedback. This issue - virus/malware removal as well as optimizing and speeding up your system can take some time and frequently runs 2+ hours to complete. I did speak with your technician about this issue to verify that he used all of his resources to be as efficient as possible. We want to be as efficient as possible, yet because we guarantee our work we don't want to be so efficient that we do not fully resolve your issue. If I can be of any other assistance, or you would like clarification on the above, feel free to contact our office and I would welcome the opportunity to expand on this.

SMOOTH and friendly. I wished I'd called them in the first place - it would have saved a LOT of headaches. The Office staff was knowledgeage - the scheduling went quickly, and was executed as promised. It was a real pleasure to see someone who is actually an expert and enjoy their work. OUTSTANDING.
Description of Work: Cleaned up after three "professionals" had tried to fix my computer - and got it performing the way it should. Uninstalled incorrectly installed software and re-installed it correctly. Then - because there was most of the hour of service left - cleaned, tuned, did custom settings and set up the network printer. Then went to another computer and tuned it - way beyond expectation.

The provider was delayed in traffic but otherwise the appointment went ok. As it turned out, the person scheduling the appointment neglected to mention that a boot disc was needed to perform the fix. Since one was not provided when I bought the computer, the provider and I spent the hour trying to locate the necessary software. He even drove me to Walmart to pick it up, but unfortunately, (even though on line said they had the software) they did not have it. We came back an ordered it and a new hard drive online, and scheduled another appointment. The provider took my PC with him, was able to fix the corrupt sectors of the bad drive; when he returned for the 2nd visit he copied my old drive to the new drive and all was well. I was even able to return the copy of the software. The fee for Angie's list hour was $99; after that it was $150/hr.

We purchased a Big Deal for 1 hour of on site computer support for my mother's computer, since she was having numerous issues with her PC. Bill was sent out and determined that there were malware/spyware issues and was able to cleanup the system. He also installed software to prevent this from happening in the future and instructed my mother on the use of a website (program?) that indicated the safe sites to use and the ones to avoid. He did a very thorough check of the system and even got her email synched up to her iPhone which she had been having problems with. Bill was very courteous, knowledgeable, and patient and explained what he was doing in terms that she could understand. Her system is working great now and she is very pleased with the work he did (as am I). In addition to the hour that was purchased through the Big Deal, he spent an additional hour and it was well worth the money. Both my mother and I would use this company (and Bill) again.

Rep appeared on time, driving a long distance through the rush hour and via snow-cramped streets. Immediately went to work, tackling some very knotty problems on the PC. The memory installation on the Mac Book went quickly and smoothly and the result was even more dramatic than I had anticipated. Rep was at work for three hours; rather than complaining or seeming eager to leave, he explained everything thoroughly and understandably and wanted to be sure that there were no further problems that needed his attention.

The technician was prompt, personable and thoughtful, especially when a new piece of equipment I purchased could not be made to work properly. He spent ~15-20 minutes trying to get it to work and then called me in to ask my opinion for next steps. This was exactly the kind of service I needed.
