Rick had a cancellation and his wife was able to change our appointment to an earlier date. Rick was very neat and clean and repaired a part of our chimney that needed mending. We asked about our dryer vent, he checked it out and told us how easy it was to clean, since the hose was very short, and it was best just to replace it and gave us other hints at no extra charge. I highly recommend Swede's Chimney Sweep.

They were very quick to make an easy sale and sell me the 5 year warranty program. It took them 5 days to arrange delivery, which I can understand that it can take some time. I had to pay extra for the mount that the unit slides into and for the installation for the 2nd floor. They told the tenant (who has been without A/C for 4 days) that the existing 220 outlet was the wrong outlet and they were not allowed to change it out to a 30amp outlet. They have always changed out my outlets in the past when they needed to be changed out. They went ahead and installed the window unit and told the tenant that it was his responsibility to call an electrician and have him change the plug out. I feel that when a company was paid for installation, the appliance should be working when they leave. They could have changed the plug out in 5 minutes. I found someone who took care of the plug and it only took 5 minutes. On top of it all, he sold me an A/C unit with a heat pump when I had only requested the A/C. They were willing to come and switch it out but I refused.

It went well and quick. There was some minor damage and they documented and repaired that damage the following week. They even removed the old roof unit and hired a sub to patch the roof.

"American Home Shield (AHS) warranty is replacing my broken microwave with a new one. I received the new microwave on 11/11/2020 and notified AHS it was in my possession. Part of the warranty contract includes the installation of the new microwave. AHS typically assigns contractors themselves. However, this time AHS contracted with C & R Services with a dispatch number on 11/13/2020 for C & R to assign a local contractor to do the install. After two weeks of waiting and not being contacted by C & R or a contractor, I called C & R to follow up on the status. They said it would be 1 to 2 weeks from the date they received the dispatch from AHS. I informed them it had been 2 weeks in which they replied that it would be another 2 weeks. As of today, 12/11/2020, 4 weeks from the date C & R received the dispatch, I have not been contacted by C & R or a contractor. C & R's lack of communication and customer service is absurd. AHS informed me that they do not have any authority over C & R."

"My chest freezer broke down and I did not want to buy a new one since I could not afford the same size. I reached out to appliance parts pro and they were confident that what I ordered would fix my problem. $200 in parts later and I now have a broken freezer on my porch and am still paying the loan to this terrible company. They just want you to order parts and try them because they know you can't return them. I hate this company with every fiber of my being and will make sure that anyone that has a broken appliance will not use them.

Small Appliance Repair questions, answered by experts
If your microwave keeps tripping the breaker, your first instinct may be to repair it, but it might make more sense to replace it. On average, microwaves last about seven years, although they can last as long as 11. If your unit is pushing a decade and has seen better days, consider replacing it (if your budget allows).
The cost to buy a new microwave depends on the type of unit you plan to buy. A regular countertop microwave costs between $50 and $500 while combo microwave ovens can cost as much as $3,500.
Installing a microwave can take a pro anywhere between one and three hours. Countertop units are the quickest and easiest for most DIYers, while built-in, drawer, and vented over-the-range microwaves take longer. You may be looking at a three-hour install if you need electrical or custom cabinetry work.
Oven repair is considered one of the most complicated appliance repair tasks. The disassembly often needed to diagnose and repair issues could leave your oven beyond repair if it's not done properly. Leave oven repair to the pros.
If you do not perform proper, regular maintenance, your oven's life span will be shortened. Make sure to thoroughly clean your oven regularly, including coils, ranges, and other parts. In addition, use the self-cleaning mode sparingly; it’s hard on your appliance. When you do use it, carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Countertop microwaves are the most common type of microwave. This is because they don't require installation; all a countertop microwave needs is a stable surface and an outlet. Low-end countertop microwaves can be found for less than $100 with high-end models going for up to $700, making them an accessible option for most people.
