Frequently Asked Question here.

• How do I know if my appliance is worth repairing? Should I purchase a new one?

  -In most cases, it is going to be much more economical and eco-friendly to repair your appliance than it would be to replace it.
  -Most issues with appliances can be fixed fairly inexpensively compared to what it would cost to replace the entire unit. Once repaired you can often get many more years of life out of the appliance.
   -Repairing your appliance also helps to minimize the amount of harmful toxins that goes into the landfills.
  -As long as you are happy with the overall performance of your appliance while it is working properly, then repairing it is almost always going to be the right choice.
  -At the time of inspection and diagnosis, our expert technician will give you honest feedback regarding replacement or repair.

• How much does it cost?

  Your technician will fully inspect and diagnose your appliance, then provide you with an estimate for the recommended repairs needed.
  
  The service call fee is waived when you elect to do the recommended repairs.
  
  If you decline the recommended repair, the service call fee is collected, to cover the cost of the trip to the location, inspection & diagnosis of the appliance and the written estimate of recommended repairs.

• What is the price based off of?

  Our price reflects our ongoing commitment to our customers. We warranty the parts we install for 1 year* (unless specified by the manufacturer) and our labor for 90 days. We use the Major Appliance Service National Price Guide to ensure that our prices are accurate, competitive, and fair.

• Can you provide us with an estimate for the repair over the phone?

  Unfortunately there are usually multiple different reasons why the same symptoms occur. Without being able to diagnose the appliance, using our knowledge, experience and test equipment, all we can do is guess.
  
  Many companies will quote an approximate price over the phone (usually low enough to attract your attention) and when their people arrive you find out the repair is far more based on what they find than what you were told over the phone and you are still responsible for the service charge.
  
  We prefer to give you the most accurate and honest answer possible regarding the diagnosis for your appliance. In order to do that, we will send out an expert technician to your home to give a diagnosis of the appliance and an estimate of repair using our knowledge, experience and test equipment.
  
  You can find a bell curve ballpark estimate for most common repairs listed on our website under the specific appliance.

• Why don\'t you set specific appointments?

  We like to give all the time you deserve to properly diagnose the problem with your appliance. In order to do this, we must give you a \”window\” because we don\’t know how long the appointment before yours will take. We don\’t want to give you a specific time and then not be able to honor our commitment. Giving \”windows\” of time allow us to service as many customers as possible within the same day!
  
  Your time is important to us. Our friendly office staff will always give you a courtesy call to let you know the technician is on his way, approximately 15- 30 minutes before arrival.

• What about evening or weekend service?

  Monday through Thursday the office is open from 6:30am until 6pm.
  
  Friday – Sunday a live person will answer your call and provide information to the office. We will call you back as soon as possible the following business day to schedule service.
  
  Our answering service will alert a manager of the call and you will get a response back as soon as possible to schedule an appointment the following business day, schedule permitting.

• Can I purchase the part myself and have a technician come out to install it?

  Yes, however there is no warranty for the part or for labor.

   
• What if our appliance breaks down or doesn\'t work properly after you repair?

  It could be the use of lemon dishwasher detergent against advice from the manufacturer.

  It could be any of the following reasons: no hot water, too much soap, not enough rinse agent, or debris & calcium build up from hard water.
