Description of Work: Erik narrowed the laptop problem down to the motherboard. He said a new motherboard was going to be approximately $200 including parts and labor, and the motherboard needed to be ordered online because the local stores didn't carry it. Anyway, I decided not to have the computer fixed. Erik was very professional and kept me informed every step of the way. He only charged me for the time he spent troubleshooting the computer. Very happy with his service.

Description of Work: Our internet wasn't working. Three years ago my company interviewed several computer repair companies in the area. We decided to choose Nova Tech and we have not been disappointed. Our office has 10 computers and two servers and Erik has been doing an exceptional job maintaining them. Just last week we had an issue with our sonic wall. He came out after hours just to make sure we were up and running the next day. He provides quality service at a fair price.

I was more than pleased.
Description of Work: I am so excited to have someone as dependable as Eric Bursch to call on if I need computer repair in the future. He called me back immediately, came when he said that he would, picked up my computer and returned it in a timely manner and fixed the problem that I was having. In addition he showed me how to back up my photos and documents, and, helped me order the device. I was more that satisfied with the service that he provided.

Wonderful.
Description of Work: My Dell laptop died - poof! gone. I called NovaTechHelp after seeing their reviews on Angie's List. Erik was tremendously responsive and professional. He came to my house within 24 hours of my call. He was knowledgeable, professional, and a huge help. He was able to extract my hard drive, recover all my files, transfer them to another computer I have, and talk with me about what was wrong and how to best proceed. It was refreshing to have Erik do this work. He is extremely knowledgable, very experienced, a good communicator, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this company.

Contact Erik via email. Responded within 1 day. Explained issues with computer. Erik thoroughly researched the model and the options available and then presented a couple of solutions. He picked up the computer and worked on it and gave me a schedule he adhered to. Computer works great and customer very satisfied.
Description of Work: Erik did a great job adding a second life to my old Acer (adding RAM, installing a DVD/RW, troubleshooting the startup process). I would definitely use Novatech's services again.

We found Erik Bursch to be extremely competent, professional and courteous as well as dedicated to ensuring our satisfaction. We will be using NovaTech again to resolve issues on another computer and highly recommend the organization.
Description of Work: We called NovaTech to resolve problems accessing outside e-mail systems that had developed after another company had done an installation on a new laptop. Problems were not resolvable and were determined to be related to a faulty initial installation, so NovaTech took my laptop and uninstalled and reinstalled all programs. They continued troubleshooting until all issues had been resolved and my computer was in full working order.

Erik came to our home and worked on our PC as well as our laptop computer. He very quickly evaluated what the problem was with both computers. He was very efficient with his time and answered all of our questions and gave us some very helpful suggestions as well. The diagnostics for the laptop would have taken a lot of time so he took it with him to evaluate at his office. The laptop hard drive needed replacement and he replaced it for the cost of the hard drive. We really feel confident that we now have a good honest company for computer support and repair.
Description of Work: Evaluation and service to our PC; Evaluation and hard drive replacement for our laptop.

NOVATEC performed the service promptly, and very cost effectively - extremely reasonable. Additionally, these guys aren't a group of geeked out teenagers working at some big box store - they know their stuff very, very well and are exceptionally technically talented. I would highly recommend these folks for any computer services and know if I ever need ANY service performed again, I will contact them without hesitation. They are the best at what they do - I work in the Telecom field and can recognize quality technical services when I see them - and these guys are the tops. If you need computer work done - look no further. I had a previous experience using a different repair facilty that was a Toshiba factory authorized service center - I don't want to use any words that may be misconstrued as applying to NOVATEC, so I'll just say that dealing with NOVATEC was a MUCH BETTER experience than dealing with the Toshiba facility - NOVATEC was more professional, better technically, cost less and turned around my laptop in less than half the time the factory authorized service center did - there was no comparison - NOVATEC knows what they're doing and doesn't try to stick it to the comsumer - these guys are Allstars!
Description of Work: I contacted NOVATECH with our Toshiba laptop problem and spoke with Eric. At first, the problem appeared to be a corrupted operating system needing a reload of Windows, but after Eric tried that, he noticed the laptop was still very, very slow and suspected either a faulty hard drive or motherboard. He ran some additional diagnostics (which took longer than usual because of the state of the computer). He determined the problem was the hard drive and ordered a replacement. Once the replacement arrived, Eric formatted and reloaded the OS while also installing a very good malware and antivirus program at no additional cost. Overall, the work they did probably would've cost double what they charged and was turned around in record time. additionally, eric came to my home to pick up and drop off the laptop - so I didn't have to locate some hidden repair facility locaed in a business park or haul my laptop in a Best Buy or MicroCenter big box store. excellent service and work !!! NOVATEC could've tried to jack me up on the price for all the diagnostic tests they did - other repair facilities wouldn't hesitate to do that - but they didn't - they did the work they needed to do and fixed my laptop.

Erik was responsive, knowledgeable, personable and had the integrity to first offer a simple & quick solution rather than parlay the call into a more complicated and expensive solution. He struck me as someone who knew what he was talking about, and someone that I could trust wasn't going to try to convince me that my computer's "flux capacitor" badly needed replacement. I have wanted to get an overall tuneup and consult with someone re: protection on the internet and I am planning on following up with Erik shortly to schedule that work. (So please don't call him until after Jun 25.) I am having unrelated performance issues with my computer, and I am going to follow up with Erik for additional, likely paid, work
Description of Work: I left a voicemail for Erik about a relentless pop-up virus that was preventing me from doing anything on my PC and he called me back within an hour, asked a few questions to diagnose the problem, and first offered simple and clear instructions I could follow to try a self-service option before before incurring a cost on a home visit. To be honest, I don't think his full recommendation was what resolved the issue (the pop-ups stopped when I tried several times - unsuccessfully - to first reboot my computer in "safe mode," per Erik's instructions). As is often the case, I don't know what exactly made the pop-ups go away, but I did go ahead and spend the $25 on software he recommended to prevent the issue in the future.

Overall my experience with NOVATECH was excellent. Eric was a very personable and pleasant individual. I felt very comfortable with him being in my home. All my system are working fine. He gave me suggestions that were easy to follow. I would definately use NOVATECH if I have any problems in the future and would recommend this service my friends and to other Angie's list users.
Description of Work: I had one computers that I could not get setup for access to the internet. For months I had been working with Verizon, but Verizon insisted that there was something wrong with the computer. In less than an hour Eric was able to come in get this computer on the internet, Clean up the other two computer computers that I had so that they could run faster, installed software, and virus protections and ran diagnostics on all the computers. He was also able to identify a problem with my Verizon connection and told me exactly what to say when I spoke to Verizon about the issue. Verizon has since sent me a new router and everything is working fine now. He also did a followup call in a few days to see how everythings was working.

Excellent. It's a great relief to have someone as reliable as they are knowledgeable available when something goes terribly wrong on the computer. On a related note, he also found a killer deal on a big screen laptop for me!
Description of Work: My computer experienced serious issues with the Operating system which made it impossible to access many programs including basics like Control panel and Office programs. It wouldn't open much of anything. Erik restored my OS including all of my data and installed a Malware program.

Erik was quick to respond to my e-mail & we talked about some potential causes. It ended up needing a memory upgrade. Erik was flexible and everything went as fast as he said it would (about 30 mins). He upgraded the memory and it runs much faster now. E-mails which used to take several minutes to load now load instantly with no wait. The internet is way faster now as well. My broadband no longer feels like dialup. Eventually we'll replace it with a laptop but didn't want to spend that $$ right now. This has made a world of difference. Thanks Erik!
Description of Work: My computer was maddeningly slow & getting worse especially when using the internet or e-mail. It's old in computer years and we wanted to know if it was worth saving. It turns out that the memory needed an upgrade.

There isn't a fix. I finally downloaded a new e-mail program for the computer which is working great. Novatech only charges if they fix problem, so they didn't charge us.
Description of Work: Researched problems with one of our computers' Outlook program. This problem had been reoccurring for over a year. I'd even paid Microsoft & they couldn't fix it--just told me to do a reinstall of entire hard drive. I'd tried numerous on-line services in the past to no avail. Novatech couldn't fix it either but they were incredibly responsive & did considerable research on possible solutions. I was very pleased with their attitude & approach.

Description of Work: I was having issues with my monitor working with my PC. Novatechhelp helped me eliminate possible computer viruses and figured out that it was a monitor hardware issue. Because they weren't able to fix the problem they didn't charge me, but I really appreciate them taking the time to help me.

Our internet connection had been getting slower and slower for months and for several weeks we had either had no internet at all, or it could take 5 minutes to get from one page to another. Since I assumed that the problem must be somehow connected to my computer, I called NovaTechHelp.com. We agreed to an evening appointment that met my schedule, which was within a week of the contact. He could have come out sooner, but we were not going to be available. Mr. Bursch came out, checked out my computer and modem and called our Internet provider. The work he did and the coordination with the Internet provider was well above what I could have done. They determined, as he thought, the problem was with the connection. A technician from the internet provider came out 2 days later and immediately set up a new modem, saying that there were a lot of problems with their old modems. It would have been nice if they had warned their customers! Anyway, we were back on line. Mr. Bursch followed up to make sure that our connection problems were resolved and came back out to set up our router. He was prompt, professional, educational and cordial.
Description of Work: Diagnosed internet connectivity problem, worked with my internet provider to confirm the problem was with their connection, set up our router.
