How does TotalTech work? Utilizing secure remote technology, technicians are able to connect to your computer safely over the Internet and fix the problem while you sit and watch. You see everything that’s happening, and it’s faster, cheaper, and more secure than taking your computer out of your home or office. You can take control of the session at any time, and when our secure connection is closed, technicians don’t have access to your computer again. TotalTech also understands that your time is valuable and when it comes to technology, you just want it to work. That’s why the TotalTech staff speaks English first, and computer jargon second. Trained technicians work diligently to solve the problem, which gives you less downtime and lost productivity. Technology exists to make your life easier and TotalTech is here to keep it that way.
How long does an average TotalTech session last? The average online support session lasts anywhere from 25 to 45 minutes. However, depending on the type of problem you’re experiencing, online support may be shorter or much longer. Regardless of the time it takes, we are committed to helping fix your problem and ensuring you’re satisfied with the work.
Do I need to stay with my computer the entire time? The TotalTech technicians will need you to be present to begin work on your machine and establish a secure connection. After that, you can continue with your day, and we will gladly call or email you when the work is complete. Also remember that at any time, you can take control of the remote session at any time, and once the secure connection is closed, technicians don’t have access to your computer again.
