About Us
Built in Plymouth. Still Here.
Power Up Boston started in 2009 when Chris Kolacz began fixing computers and running network cable for local businesses in Plymouth. No investors, no franchise playbook — just one guy who was really good with technology and cared about doing right by his neighbors.
17 years later, that same commitment hasn't changed. The services grew — managed IT, security cameras, cybersecurity, access control, structured cabling, AV — but the philosophy stayed the same: show up, do excellent work, be honest about what you need, and pick up the phone when it rings.

Every Industry
We've Seen It All in 17 Years
From restaurants to law firms, construction sites to medical offices, auto shops to churches — 1,622+ businesses across every industry have trusted us with their technology (as of October 2026).
Every business is different, but the need is the same: technology that works, someone who picks up the phone, and a team you can trust. That's what we do.
We're not a franchise. We're not a reseller. We're your local IT and security team — and we're not going anywhere.
Who You're Dealing With
Meet the Founder
Chris Kolacz founded Power Up Boston in 2009 and still does the on-site work: the free assessments, the network closets, the camera installs, and the calls when something needs hands. He also writes the guides on this site from that work, so what you read here comes from South Shore businesses we have actually sat in.
When you call (508) 617-1310, you reach the team that knows your network, not a ticket queue in another state.
