It's just like a signing bonus! If you sign up with your geek during a service call, we will instantly discount the price of that call by $50 as our way of thanking you for committing to a longer-term relationship with Geek Housecalls! Important: This offer is available only if you sign up directly with your geek during a service call. If you sign up through our online shopping cart, you will receive a "Copay credit" worth $20 off your first covered visit instead. Thinking of holding off and signing up immediately before your next appointment? That makes sense, however please note that plan coverage does not go into effect until 24 hours after you sign up, so if you're looking to have your next service call covered by the plan, it's best to sign up early to make sure you don't miss out on that service call being covered under the plan!

Savings Savings Savings... Since the plan covers 100% of service labor up to five hours, and service appointments have a one-hour minimum, you can have service labor for as many as five one-hour calls fully covered during the plan year (service labor does not include $20 copay per visit). Further, under the Plan you can also have unlimited additional service calls at 85% of the current retail service labor rate. Most customers will use fewer and longer calls under the plan.

What if you use more than 5 hours? Don’t worry, the savings don’t end if you use up your 5 hours! As a plan member, hours used in excess of 5 hours are charged at a discounted rate of 15% off of retail. That means at current rates, plan members would get the additional labor at just $85/hour instead of our usual $100/hour!

We make it easy for you to decide! While we expect to provide outstanding service and great value to our customers, we understand there are times when a customer may change their mind. We won’t force you into a contract you don’t want, so you can cancel at any time. Of course there are certain reasonable terms and restrictions designed to prevent fraud or abuse of the plan. We encourage you to read “The Fine Print” to learn about what those terms and restrictions are.

A small list, but still important to know... Software purchases are not covered under the plan and are not discounted. Managed,online, and hosted services such as, but not limited to, online backup, antivirus, security, and email hosting are not covered under the plan and are not discounted. Contracted and third-party services such as, but not limited to, data recovery and electrical wiring services, are not covered under the plan and are not discounted. Plan coverage does not include service of computers used for business purposes except in home offices and home-based businesses. Because the Umbrella Plan is a discount plan, other discount coupons and offers are rendered invalid by the Plan and cannot be used to discount or offset any Plan or service costs unless specifically stated for that purpose on the coupon. Plan coverage is valid only for the single physical location it is sold at (or the single location that is declared as the "service location" during purchase). If a customer wishes to have Plan coverage at more than one location (e.g. Regular home and vacation home), two Plans would need to be purchased, one for each location.

Just like seeing the doctor (except it's automatic!) Under the Plan, we cover $30 of the usual $50 onsite visit fee. This leaves members with a $20 copay charged for each appointment under the Plan. To keep things simple, the copay is automatically billed to the member’s credit card at the completion of each appointment.
