THIS POST ALSO APPEARS ON YELP.COM ******************************************************** You will not find a better sales rep than Jim Barber at Culligan Water in Santa Ana, nor better installers than Alex and Antonio from the Bellflower office. When our Kenmore Genus water softener began leaking after 20 years of faithfulservice, the decision was a no brainer. We went to Sears and ordered a new one. It looked like a simple swap. Take out the old and hook up the new--no new plumbing or electrical. Unfortunately, when the installer arrived with the new unit, he tried to make me believe that the installation would be quite involved and would cost $325 more than the $199 which I had already paid. My gut feeling, right or wrong, told me that he was trying to rip us off. I was angry and immediately refused delivery and sent the installer on his way. Actually, he left the scene before I could even contact the salesman to give him a chance to resolve the dispute. Next, I visited the local Home Depot which sells GE water softeners; and Lowes which sells Whirlpool units. Pricing from both of these big box stores was consistent with Sears, excluding the installation. For a $40 flat fee, Lowes sent a contract plumber to give me a fixed price no obligation quote on the installation. They sent a down-to-earth plumber who confirmed that the installation would be simple and inexpensive. I probably would have gone with Lowes were it not or the fact that my wife suggested that I "call the Culligan man." I just knew that company would be too expensive, but I left a request on the Culligan Santa Ana website anyway. The next morning I received a phone call from Jim Barber. A few hours later I was talking to him in person across the dining room table. Now, talking to sales reps is not my idea of an entertaining experience. But I found Jim to be a honest professional who clearly showed me that he wanted our business. There was no pressure, no lies, no bait and switch--he just got to the point and we negotiated a deal. Within an hour I was signing a contract that was not significantly more than the other guys. And Jim, with 30 yeas of experience, was more knowledgable and did a more detailed evaluation than the others, by far. Subsequent to the signing, he returned my phone calls, promptly. He even came by the day of installation. Jim has completely changed my preconceived notion of Culligan. Because the Santa Ana office was swamped with work, Alex and Antonio from the Bellflower office installed our Water Softener. It only took two hours and they did not leave a mess. Both guys were skilled and experienced professional Culligan employees who took pride in the work. I admire a job well done and they did an outstanding job. I am pleased to recommend the Culligan Team.

FAQs for kenmore vacuum repair projects in Santa Ana, CA
Common repairs for central vacuum cleaners include motor repair, electrical repair, and blocked filters. Central vacuum motor issues typically come with a burning smell and loss of suction. With these issues, you might need simple lubrication to keep it running smoothly, or for more extreme problems, you could need a motor replacement.
Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a local central vacuum repair professional can tell you the best plan of action for your system.
The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is $310, though prices can range from $120 to $500. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.
A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around $50. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of $100 to $500. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from $15 to $55per hour.
The answer to repairing vs. replacing appliances depends on the type of appliance, the severity of the issue or damage, and the quality of it. If you’ve purchased a top-of-the-line small appliance, it’s almost always more cost-effective to repair it than to replace it. You should also consider the cost to repair it, though. If the repair cost is more than half the cost of a new version, lean toward purchasing a new one. Your small appliance technician could also help you decide by determining the expected remaining lifespan after the repair.
Small appliance repair costs average around $50to $400, with costs ranging significantly based on the type of appliance, the extent of the damage, the issue, the appliance brand, and the availability of replacement parts. Generally speaking, you’ll pay less for repairs on very small appliances, like blenders and toasters, than you will for microwave repairs. We recommend consulting a small appliance repair technician for a quote before starting the project.
Small appliances typically include microwaves, toasters, toaster ovens, food processors, blenders, mixers, slow cookers, air fryers, coffee makers, rice cookers, and any other appliance that can sit on your countertop. Major appliances include refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, washers, and dryers. Some people may include HVAC equipment like condensers and air handlers in this category, too. Small appliances are more of a specialty, so there’s a good chance a typical appliance repair company won’t be able to service and repair small appliances.
