The Complete Guide
Understanding the real cost difference between managed IT and break-fix IT is critical for every Houston business owner. Break-fix IT bills you only when something breaks — which sounds attractive until you calculate the total annual spend. The average Houston SMB on a break-fix model pays $200-$400 per hour for emergency support, often 10-20 hours per year in emergency calls alone, plus any hardware replacement costs. Managed IT from SpaceTown IT replaces that unpredictable spend with a flat monthly rate covering unlimited support, 24/7 monitoring, proactive maintenance, and vendor management. The math almost always favors managed IT at 15+ employees.
