Moving into a new home is a fresh start—and the perfect time to get your tech working for you, not against you.
At Tech Caddie, we guide our members through these transitions every week. From internet plans to smart TVs, to music streaming choices, we’re just a phone call (or screen share) away, helping you make the best decisions without needing to step foot in a store—or wrestle with setup manuals.
Here’s how to make your new home tech-ready from day one.
- Pick the Right Internet Provider Before You Move In
Just like you’d line up the movers or the utilities, your internet setup should be on your checklist before the big day. Providers vary by neighborhood, and the fastest option at your old home might not be the best fit in your new one.
We help our members:
- Compare internet providers in their new zip code – especially understanding if there are multiple options available on the street and how that can help leverage a better deal.
- Choose the right plan based on how they use their tech
- Schedule the install and make sure it’s ready to go
- Be available during the install window, if the internet install tech has questions.
- Remind you to cancel the internet service at your old residence when it is no longer needed.
💡 We’ll walk you through every step—remotely—so your connection is strong the moment you arrive.
- Go Wireless, Go Seamless—Upgrade to Mesh Wi-Fi
Forget dead zones and buffering. A mesh Wi-Fi system uses small devices placed around the house, and even outside the house, to keep your connection strong in every room, and at the pool without having to run wires everywhere.
Some of our favorite options:
- Eero Pro 6E – Great for most modern homes, with easy control from your phone.
- Eero 7 – Excellent fit for those requiring very high performance and coverage, with easy setup and control from your phone. Models for inside and outside the house.
💡 We’ll help you select the right system, point you to the best purchase deal online, then walk you through setup—step-by-step, right from your screen. We’ll also help you configure your new wi-fi system securely, including creating a separate network for your smart home devices and a guest network for visitors.
- Pick a Smart Home Ecosystem That Fits You
Today’s tech works best when it works together. If you’re already using Apple products like an iPhone or iPad, staying in the Apple ecosystem is a smart move. We recommend adding an Apple TV—it plays beautifully with your other devices, and you can control it all from one remote (or even your phone). If you have an extensive audio collection on iTunes already, choosing the right audio system will let you stream high quality music from iTunes to anywhere in your home.
If you’re more of an Android or Google user, a Google TV or Android-compatible system makes syncing devices easy.
🎯 The goal? One ecosystem, one experience. We’ll help you choose the right one based on the devices you already own.
- Say Goodbye to Clunky Remotes
Newer TVs and soundbars often work with HDMI-CEC—a feature that lets one remote (or your phone) control multiple devices automatically. That means fewer remotes on the coffee table, and no more guesswork.
We’ll help you:
- Choose the right soundbar or smart remote
- Enable these settings so everything works together
- Make sure your system is easy and intuitive
💡 No more input-switching confusion—just one remote to rule them all.
