Remote Repairs and the New DIY

Are you the type of person that isn't afraid of getting your hands dirty?

You Can Do This

The world looks different than it did a few decades ago. Our parents' generation saw the rise of in-home repair services for fixing a variety of issues that homeowners faced from time to time. The industries of appliance repair and non-skilled tradesman, (handyman), were adapted well to the needs of the time.

Today, these industries have changed due to the rise of the semiconductor. These electrical components are now part of devices all throughout our homes. Today's in-home repair person must know more than how to change a belt or motor. Advanced circuits and diagnostics have created a need for advanced knowledge and information about the specific device being repaired. Most of the appliances in your home have detailed service manuals that can span dozens of pages. These manuals include electrical diagrams, diagnostic code charts, and troubleshooting steps. It is now necessary to better understand electrical circuits and how they interface with the mechanical parts of the appliance. As you can probably guess, your robotic massage chair is no exception to this new technology.

The Rise of the Internet How-to Video

In response to the leap forward in semiconductors and other technological advances, how-to videos revolutionized the way that we all approach repairs. Even skilled tradesman have turned to knowledge shared by their peers as an invaluable way to better-understand the devices and components that they service. This approach has led to an explosion in information-sharing. Now, the home DIY'er and handyman can find information on how to fix almost anything in the average home - and what can not be found online can be supplemented with instant knowledge from professionals in the field.

If you are the type of person that has searched for this type of online content, then you are exactly the type of person that is a good fit for remote repair support.

Remote Support as a Bridge

Remote support has grown in popularity as the internet has gotten faster and as specialized services become more widely available. The global pandemic accelerated the growth of this new industry as a way to compensate for lockdowns and the inability to receive guests in the home of someone that may have a higher risk of serious illness.

We can also work in tandem with your local, favorite handyman to get your chair working again - at a fraction of the cost of a trained technician on-site visit.
