No Job is Too Big, or Too Small

Whether your computer’s hard drive has taken a turn for the worse, or you just cannot seem to figure out how to program your Digital Video Recorder or VCR- we can help. Computer NV is innovative, versatile, and able to explain your equipment in people terms- NOT Geek terms! Please see our Services List. If you are in need of a service that is not listed, please ask! We perform on site service to more than just computers.

Service Exceeding Standards at Affordable Rates

Let’s face it- not everyone has a computer maintenance budget like the big companies do. And without an IT department, most residential and business customers typically rely on large, over-priced retail locations. Computer NV will meet or beat any competitor prices. Our goal is to take care of your Information Technology needs, and do so without emptying your wallet.

… And Not Just Computers

Have a universal remote control, but you cannot program it? Do you have Satellite or Cable television service, but your picture just isn’t what you expected? Need to wire up another room for television, internet or phone? Or maybe you just got a new surround sound system for your living room, but have no idea to to set it up and integrate it with your TV, VCR or DVD, or even your video game system… we can help!

Remote Support$29.00 1st 1/2 hour*, then $69.00 for each additional hour of work performed

Remote Support: if you have a working high-speed Internet connection, many services can be performed remotely. Computer NV has come up with a practical, yet economical method of billing for this service. Once connected via remote desktop software, we can usually isolate the problem within a 30 minute time frame, and in most cases resolve the issue. If repairs are estimated to go beyond the initial 30 minutes, billing at $69.00/hour will commence. Types of services we can perform remotely include:

  • Virus/Spyware/Malware Removal
  • Operating System Repair/Tune-up and Optimization
  • Email setup
  • Software Install/Configure
  • Data Backup and/or migration (some customer assistance may be required)
  • Wireless Network Router Configuration (we can walk you through the physical setup)
  • System Monitoring
  • General education and tutorials

Computer NV has chosen TeamViewer for fast, reliable, and very secure Remote Support Service. The client application will need to be run on our PC, Mac, or Linux Operating System, and you will need to provide us with a Session ID and Password in order for us to gain access to your computer**.

*Customer will be informed of any work needed beyond the initial 30 minutes before standard hourly billing applies.
**Please make sure that you close any windows containing personal or sensitive information before allowing us access to your machine.
