Our agents are not Nerds.

How do I pay my Nerd?
All appointments are paid for by credit card and made directly to Nerd Alert. During booking, our agents will get a credit card to book and confirm your appointment. You will not be charged until after the appointment is completed and you approve and sign off on the Nerd’s device.
Yes. Any appointment that is fully completed to your satisfaction in under an hour will still result in you paying the full hourly rate. After that, you will be billed in 30 min increments.
So for example, if you’re internet is down and a Nerd comes to you and fixes it in 30 minutes, you will still be charged for the full hourly rate for this service.
However, if you have an issue that takes 90 minutes to fix as opposed to a full 2 hours, you would only be charged the hour and a half rate.
Nerd Alert has partnered with a lot of gated communities throughout Florida, and as a resident of those communities, we provide discounts on the first appointment booked. Please let the agent know the name of your community when booking.
Also, we are always offering promotions via direct mail, email campaigns as well as social media. Mention your coupon to your agent when booking so that we can apply it on the appointment.
Our policy is satisfaction guaranteed. If your problem still persists or what you hired Nerd Alert for was not done properly, give us a call and tell us more and we will make it right if it was something that we dropped the ball on. If we are not able to fix it do it being a 3rd party issue that cannot be repaired or resolved, then we will always ensure that we connect you to the right source to rectify the issue.
You can request your Nerd the next time you need to schedule an appointment. We’re more than happy to alert your Nerd of your request and if they are available we’ll get you all booked up.
For your safety and security please remember that scheduling a Nerd outside of the proper booking channels of the Nerd Alert website or phone number may result in an experience that cannot and will not be covered and/or protected by Nerd Alert.
