Appliances I Repair
If it keeps your food cold, your clothes clean, or your dinner cooked, chances are I've repaired hundreds of them:
- Refrigerators — residential, including built-ins
- Ovens and oven/microwave combinations
- Washers and dryers
- Dishwashers
- High-end & specialty: Sub-Zero, Thermador, True
Two brands I avoid and will tell you so up front: Fisher & Paykel and Asko. If you own one, I'll point you toward someone who specializes in them — that's more honest than learning on your dime.
Straight answers
The One-Third Rule
Here's how I decide whether your appliance is worth fixing — and I'll walk you through it on every job:
- Repair under a third of the price of new? Usually worth fixing.
- Repair over a third? I'll recommend replacing — with brand names I trust.
- Dishwasher over seven years old? Replacement is usually the smarter money.
One thing worth understanding: the parts around a repair have aged right along with the broken one. I'll be straight with you about when a fix makes sense and when you're better off putting that money toward new.
Common questions
Appliance Repair FAQs
Is my appliance worth repairing?
My rule: if the repair doesn't exceed one-third of the price of buying new, it's usually worth fixing — as long as the appliance is in decent shape overall. If replacement is the smarter call, I'll say so and recommend the brands I'd buy for my own home.
What should I check before I call?
Make sure the appliance has power, and make sure the water is on — for a washing machine or dishwasher, for example. Those two checks save a surprising number of service calls.
My appliance is acting up — can I keep using it?
It's better to stop using it and call as soon as possible. Sometimes unplugging it or disconnecting the power is a good idea so you don't further damage the equipment.
Do you work on high-end appliances?
Yes — Sub-Zero, Thermador, and True, along with the major standard brands. Two brands I avoid: Fisher & Paykel and Asko. I'd rather tell you up front than waste your time.
Why call an HVAC contractor for appliance repair?
One-stop shop: I hold both a C-20 HVAC contractor license and a BEAR appliance repair license. If I've already earned your trust on your AC or furnace, you know what you're getting on your appliances too.
