Why FixHome+ for Smart Home Installation in Highwood
FixHome+ works on a subscription basis with fixed pricing at the plan level, so you know your costs in advance. This routine makes it easier to keep your smart home running without unexpected hassles or extra charges. Regular service visits are part of the plan, which means your devices get checked and small issues get sorted. You spend less time worrying about tech acting up and more time doing whatever else Highwood has to offer.

If you’re new to FixHome+ and add your property in the app, we’ll give you a free demo walk-through of your home. During this visit, we’ll check out your place, show you how the app works, and often can knock out a small fix while we’re there.
