How to pay less
- Having the hardware unboxed and your passwords ready means the technician spends less paid time on the setup.
- Setting up several computers in the same visit costs less than booking separate installations for each.
- Checking that new devices work with your existing equipment before buying avoids paying for extra troubleshooting.
- Moving your own files to a backup drive beforehand can cut the time charged for data migration.
- Doing simple jobs yourself, such as connecting monitors and keyboards, leaves only the network and software installation to pay for.
Before you book
- Access to the workspace where the installation will take place.
- Any old devices that need data migration or integration into the new setup.
- Information about the existing network setup and internet service provider.
- List of required software or specific applications that need to be installed.
- You can ask whether the technician is trained in IT support and networking, and how they handle electrical equipment safely during installation.
