About Porchlight Tech

Technology help that treats people like people.

Porchlight Tech started with a simple frustration: getting help with everyday technology usually meant long hold times, confusing jargon, or a trip to a crowded store. I thought it should be calmer than that, and that the help should come to you.

I bring real tech experience into homes across Dade City, Zephyrhills, surrounding Pasco County. Whether it's Wi-Fi that won't reach the back bedroom, a smart home that never quite worked together, or the problem three other people gave up on, I take the time to do it right and make sure you understand what changed.

I'm not a call center and I'm not a big-box counter. I'm local, and I believe dependable, in-person help still matters.

Jacob Diaz-Iglesias · Founder & lead technician

Hi, I'm Jacob. I started Porchlight Tech because getting real help with technology shouldn't mean a call center, a long hold, or a stranger who won't explain what they did. I show up on time, quote the price before I start, and I don't leave until it's solved and it makes sense to you.

A real engineering background

I've been building software for years, so when your setup gets past do-it-yourself, your whole-home Wi-Fi, your smart home, your backups and security, I can actually solve it, not just reset the router. And I'll explain what I did in plain English, so you stay in control of your own home.
