How does remote IT support work in Sydney?
Geeks IT Sydney provides remote IT support to homes and small businesses across Sydney and its suburbs. A local technician connects to your computer with your permission and fixes software, email and settings problems while you watch. Remote support is $125/hour with a one-hour minimum.
Remote sessions suit problems that live in software and settings: crashing programs, email that won't send or sync, Wi-Fi settings, malware and virus clean-up, and setup help for new software, printers and accounts. If the fix needs hands-on work, the same local team can come to your home or office.
What you need for a remote session:
- A computer that turns on
- A working internet connection
- You at the screen to give permission
A typical session runs like this:
- Call us or book online and tell us what's going wrong.
- We agree a time that suits you.
- The technician talks you through opening the connection on the phone, and you give permission for them to work on your computer.
- You watch the screen while the work is done, and can ask questions as we go.
- The session ends when you close it.
What can be fixed remotely and what needs an onsite visit?
If the fault is in software or settings, it can usually be looked at remotely. If something is physically broken, or the computer can't get online at all, a technician needs to see the machine.
| Fixed remotely | Needs an onsite visit |
|---|---|
| Software crashes and error messages | Hardware faults that need diagnosis |
| Email setup and sync problems | Computers that won't power on or start |
| Wi-Fi settings (computer still online) | No internet connection at all |
| Malware and virus clean-up | Physical cabling and network equipment |
| New software, printer and account setup | Physical damage (screens, keyboards, ports): we diagnose and refer |
We don't do board-level (motherboard component) repairs, remotely or onsite.
Onsite visits are $205/hour with a one-hour minimum and no call-out fee.

Remote IT support for Sydney small businesses
Small businesses in Sydney use remote support for problems like these: a bookkeeper's accounting software that won't open after an update, a staff mailbox that has stopped sending, a new starter's laptop that needs email and software set up, or a shared printer that has dropped off the network.
Because the technician connects to the computer directly, nobody has to wait for a visit when the problem is on the screen.
If your business wants ongoing support rather than one-off help, see our business IT support plans for managed support options. For hands-on jobs we can also come to your office.
Call 02 7247 6817 or book a remote session to talk through what your business needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our remote IT support service.
After you book, we send you a secure one-time link via email or SMS. You click the link, which allows our technician to securely view and control your screen with your permission. We then diagnose and fix the issue in real-time while you watch. The connection ends automatically when the session is complete.
Absolutely secure. We use encrypted, industry-standard remote access tools. You must grant permission before we can see your screen, and you can see everything we do in real-time. You can revoke access at any time, and the connection is automatically terminated when the session ends. We never access files beyond what's needed for the repair.
Most software-related issues can be fixed remotely, including: application crashes, email problems, virus and malware removal, slow computer performance, software installation, Windows/Mac update errors, printer setup, password recovery, and account issues. Hardware problems that require physical access will need an on-site visit.
Most remote support sessions are completed within 15-30 minutes. More complex issues like virus removal or system optimization may take 30-60 minutes. We'll give you a time estimate before we start, and you'll see exactly what we're doing throughout.
Remote support is $125 per hour with a one-hour minimum. The final cost depends on the complexity of the issue. We always provide a clear quote before work begins.
If we determine your issue requires hands-on work (such as hardware repair), we'll let you know immediately and can arrange an on-site visit at your convenience. You'll know the cost of the remote session upfront. See our Computer Repairs page for on-site service details.
