Don't Use Hellotech
February 18, 2022

Hellotech quoted me a price to dismount and then mount a new TV on my wall. They overcharged me $69 more than they quoted. I brought that to their attention numerous times but no one would follow up on it. Finally I received a refund for $50 but not for the $69 they agreed they overcharged me. Then they put the $50 refund and the $69 back on my credit card. I disputed the charges with my credit card company. The lack of any follow up and the incompetence and the overcharges, what a mess. Don't use them or get a quote in writing.

Completely unreliable
December 12, 2023

I hired HelloTech to help install a home security system. The first technician canceled on the day of the appointment, not long before he was supposed to arrive, saying he hadn't realized how far away we were from him. Then I tried multiple times to rebook the appointment with other technicians, and yet another one canceled on the day. Finally one did show up, but he didn't install the system correctly and it soon stopped working. HelloTech promised to refund me and then did not, so I disputed the transaction with my credit card company and they resolved it in my favor. I would not use this company again.

Worst service ever
December 17, 2022

Gave it a one star because there is not a 0 star. Supposed to come out didnt show. Repeat. Third time tech showed up went to get a ladder i dont know why.it was for a thermostat. Never came back. Finally had to call corporate to get a response. The tech said he was exposed to Covid and had to be tested. And he came to our house! I would never recommend them to anyone. Not even my worst enemy

To the Rescue
April 22, 2023

Jonathan read my request for help on the HelloTech website as I was forced to make another appointment. After spending $200+ to get streaming installed on all 3 TVs, the previous HelloTech installed streaming but deactivated my surround sound system. Jonathan to the rescue. He phoned me to understand the issue. Then he came to my house and fixed the surround sound system.

Delivery and Installation of a 55" TV
July 18, 2023

Christian was VERY helpful and knew exactly what he was doing! He was quick and efficient and cleaned up all loose debris when he was done. Couldn't ask for a more courteous, pleasant, person to work in my home.

Outright Lied
March 12, 2023

I have a 75" flatscreen TV. I told the Hello Tech rep whom I spoke to, that I am not able to assist in mounting such a large screen to my wall. I explained one person would not be enough, because the TV was too heavy. Two Hello Tech reps on 2 separate days, told me not to worry, that they would send two technicians over to do the job. They lied. And then had the gall to ask me to wait 5 hours and they'd send 2 technicians over. Why would I believe a 3rd lie…their promises were obviously not to be trusted.

Christian was awesome. He fixed the problem with my computer and created another ticket to clean it up to possibly stop another problem. Very helpful

Two stars for effort, Zero for improvement in issue
September 28, 2022

Megan contacted me originally and immediately told me that she knew what the issue was and had me go buy a new Linksys mesh network without seeing the issue. I purchased the $250 equipment despite already having a very new wifi network. While she certainly tried to get the speeds up, she had to leave to get to the next appointment. My wifi signal was now fairly strong but speeds were not really improved. Right after she left, my service was WAY worse than it was before she cane out. She told me that I'd have to work with Fidium (my internet provider - 1GB speed is what I pay for) now on the speeds. Today, the Fidium tech came out and was able to get the speeds up from the modem. But, the speeds out of the new wifi network that Megan had me get simply weren't much better.

Don't hire them
October 22, 2022

I scheduled a service and the technician called be and asked if I really wanted him to come out…yea I did. Then he was going to be 2 hours later, so I rescheduled for the next day. They then called me when the technician was supposed to arrive and told me to wait for him he was in traffic, but would be there…45 minutes late. We waited the extra 45 minutes and at 55 minutes late I got a text saying he wasn't coming at all. They are so unprofessional and the technician I spoke to on the phone was very rude. I cancelled my request altogether, I then got a text saying my appointment was scheduled for December 31st, I never scheduled another appointment and definitely not one two months away. I will never use them again.

Wouldn't recommend HelloTech
June 6, 2022

I had a ring item installed. The technician was on time and very nice, but I found it concerning that I was asked to pay through an app. Since the technician couldn't do not complete all of the items that had been prepaid, he suggested canceling the service and paying him directly. I asked him if it was against policy and he said no. Well, I read the FAQ after he left and it is against the HelloTech policy. I assume he didn't want them to get a percentage of the fee. It looks like I didn't receive service and I did. I have video of him doing the install to prove it. He also did not do a great job, it looks haphazard. I think he tried his best but wasn't skilled enough. I would not recommend HelloTech to anyone.

Do not use this company. They lie, they hang up on you, they just don't care. There is no premier service here. You can't even speak to a supervisor in a reasonable amount of time. They remoted in and crashed my computer. Then they didn't send a technician. I waited four days without being able to run my business. Calling several times a day. Since I couldn't get them to help I got another person and sent them the bill. They refused to reimburse it saying I made up the part of them remoting in and sending my computer to black screen. Do not use this company. They should go out of business. I am in the service business and they are nothing but liers and scammers. Shame on you.

Firstly they say that they don't charge you until the service is complete. Well, that's complete bull$#*!, they charged me instantly and promised me that the service is basically guaranteed. So then comes the day they were supposed to install my tv, the tech calls last minute and says he can't make it and that i'll have to call and reschedule. Well, nobody ever freaking picks up, took me an entire week to get a hold of someone, then they just tell me to reschedule online. So after i rescheduled to the next week (so the next scheduled date is 2 weeks after the missed installation date). I take the whole day off of work just to be there. Lo and behold, tech doesn't show up, and this time doesn't even give me a call. I ended up talking to their chat because nobody $#*!ing answers the phone. He once again just tries his best to get me to stop using the chat 'oh i promise he's on his way, please close the chat window.' and then I get an email saying that the tech is unavailable and they 'are currently looking for another tech'. $#*! it's been 3 weeks since I paid, and those incompetent asses still haven't gotten $#*! done. And then I find out they also automatically added me to their $#*!ty tech subscription and charged me right away without my knowledge.

I was charged $542 for mounting a 50-inch TV. I looked at my bill and noticed I was charged for hooking a PS5 that was already hooked up and an indoor antenna that was never mounted. Also, the tech couldn't get the antenna working but still charged me for it even though it wasn't mounted, and he couldn't get it to work.

I used HelloTech to install a large home theater system and they basically sent Jim Carey's character from Dumb and Dumber. The guy was useless! Plus, I have had about $1,400 in fraudulent charges on my HelloTech account in the past 2 months! I ask for my account to be deleted and they lie and say they will delete it. It's still there and I am still getting fraudulent charges! It takes 10 DAYS to get your money back! I had to change my debit card to stop the fraudulent charges! And my account is still there! The email addresses they give you are invalid. They say they will delete your account within 24-48 hours (THEY LIE OUT BOTH ENDS). BEWARE! They have two things for site security: JACK and SQUAT. Along with their absolutely useless people, HelloTech is a JOKE of a company!

We have had problems with our printer connecting wirelessly and all the tech did was uninstall the printer and reinstall the printer. I knew this did not fix my issue but because my printer was printing sporadically he insisted that it did. $150 later and my printer still does not work, I tried reaching out to the tech directly but no response.

NO SHOW EXPERTS
April 16, 2022

Only reason for the one star; is you have to give something. All the HYPE on Tech Sending a TEXT when he is on route/arrival time/is pure bull! My tech (MATT) never showed and they couldn't find him. I called at 10 minutes and 30 minutes behind schedule and 'in route' was all i was told. After 1 hour; I called and cancelled. Don't let the 3 hour "cancellation policy Scare you' Placed it on AMEX and they folded
IF they are good; it's not in this Fayetteville,, North Carolina.
