Computer maintenance is a great way to take care of your computer.  It allows an expert computer technician to runcertain tests, checks, and optimization techniques, ensuring your computer is protected against viruses, spyware, pop-ups, and crashes. 

There is a myth that computer maintenance has to be weekly.  However, periodic tech maintenance can be as frequent as you’d like.  For example, for a home computer or small computer setup, it is wise to have computer maintenance either quarterly or twice a year.  This will allow testing for malicious items as well as failing hard drives, RAM, Internet speed status, dust build-up, network/printer/equipment issues.

We have found that preventative maintenance can save tons of money in the long-term, as well as extend the life of your mac or PC. 

Here’s a good periodic maintenance schedule based on the number of computers your company or small office has:

  • 1 – 5 computers – bi-annual maintenance
  • 6 – 10 computers – quarterly maintenance
  • 11 – 15 – monthly maintenance
  • 16 – 20 – bi-weekly maintenance
  • 21+ computers – weekly maintenance 

Having the proper periodic plan for your business can save time and money, in turn, increasing overall production.  Please feel free to contact a local service provider for your computer maintenance options.
