HLP has been interested in the home technology business for many years. Unfortunately we never felt the time was right for us to enter this important market. Early in 2005, we decided now was the time. Why? Well, many homes now have home computers – some more than one. People are interested in computer technology at the home level. They want to work from home, use their wireless laptop efficiently, use a web camera to chat with family, integrate their digital camera and digital music players, have computer based home automation, use Media Center PCs, and much more. HLP2U’s president Derek Rowan has had a computer centric entertainment system in his home for years. He said that “finally the technology is at a point where it’s easy to use and it works.”

But technology is only part of the equation. The most critical part is the service provider behind it. As most of us know, computer technology can still sometimes be difficult to use and get working effectively. HLP2U solves this problem by being different than what you’re used to when it comes to computer service technicians. We are fast, polite, understandable, work around your schedule, and provide flat rate pricing on our services. We are not part time hobbyists, geeks or nerds. We are certified professionals that guarantee our work and provide exceptional value.

The only way to provide full service is to provide answers to all of the customer's problems and to provide blanket coverage for these services. At HLP2U we assemble, create, and do EVERYTHING. Since there are no middle men we eliminate any and all finger pointing from happening. The customer can be assured that they can call us to perform anything, from fixing their equipment, removing spyware or viruses, setting up a wireless network, getting your PC to connect to your office network, setting up a Media Center PC, getting your photo printer to print nicer photos, to anything else related to technology. In the words of our service manager, we offer "Worry Free Technology -- Guaranteed."

That guarantee is a full 30 day money back guarantee on any service for any reason. How can we do this? Well, we have the first two customers we started with in 1984 still with us today. We’re here for the long haul.

HLP2U provides the following advantages over the traditional computer company:

  1. Fixed rates. You don’t have to worry about how much a service call will cost. You’ll know in advance before we walk in the door. HLP2U provides fixed fee pricing on our services without any surcharges of any kind.
  2. Inexpensive. HLP2U is far less expensive than our competition. We’ve been running computer service calls to client locations for over 20 years. We know our business. We’ve developed a very efficient system that provides you with excellent service and lower prices. Our competition still charges by the hour along with travel charges or other fees. Our prices are fixed, fair, and easy to understand.
  3. Service when it’s convenient for you. Unlike our competition, HLP2U works whenever you’re home. That includes daytime, and of course nights and weekends. All for the same low price.
  4. Focused on what you need. HLP2U is built completely around technology in your home. We have experts in consumer electronics such as digital cameras and music, business experts for work at home solutions, wireless experts to get your wireless networking working, and Media Center experts to converge your digital lifestyle.
  5. We’re professionals – not geeks. – While other companies call themselves geeks or nerds, HLP2U has always been and will continue to be professionals. We are not hobbyists. We’ve been doing this full time for over 20 years. We will provide you with answers that solve particular problems and desires that is easy to understand and use.
  6. Service beyond your expectations. – We know you’ve experienced poor computer service before. We promise to provide you with service beyond what you expect in the computer industry.
  7. Money back guarantee. – Talk is cheap. HLP2U backs up everything we sell and do with an unconditional 30 day money back guarantee for any reason. Period.

Give HLP2U a try. You won’t be disappointed. If you ever have any comments, complaints or suggestions, you may call me personally.
