HOUSE CALLS FAQs

Q:  I need immediate assistance or a type of service you don't handle. Can you recommend someone else?
A:  Yes, check with a Computer Center volunteer for the names of some trusted technicians you may hire.

Q: I need help learning how to use software, such as MS Word or macOS. May I request tutoring?
A: Unfortunately we are not able to provide tutoring, as it simply uses too many tech hours. If you need to learn how to use a specific software, please check out our classes at Acalanes Adult Ed or the Flash classes we offer in Gateway.

A: Yes, you may include this request when you enter your the description of the problem you're having.

Q: I'm not a member yet. If I join today, may I immediately schedule a House Call? 
A: Only active members may submit a House Call. If you pay your dues online with a credit card, your membership will be instantly activated and you may immediately submit your House Call request. If you pay with cash or check, it may take up to a week to activate your membership.
