After-hours/emergency support is available for $165 per hour in 15-minute increments. This is for any non-business hours support or emergency support that require immediate attention from any of our technicians.
We try to do everything we can to assist you remotely or we’ll have you bring hardware to our shop to more cost-effectively support you. When we have to come on-site, we ask for a 2-hour minimum for on-site services and we may bill a travel time at a rate of $60 per hour (in fifteen-minute increments) for clients farther than 10 minutes from the assigned technician’s location. We have technicians located in several different regions of Greater Cincinnati, so we’ll always assign a tech that’s closest to you to minimize travel costs.
