Honest company. My refrigerator was not cooling. I looked at Angie?s list, called ADichristopher . They came on time, detected the problem, showed me the problem, I authorize fixing it, and he fixed it. In and out in less than 1 hour and priced right! I give them an A+.
Description of Work: Replaced a burned out part in my refrigerator. Thank God it was not the compressor.

Good honest company. Came out to house within 24 hours of initial contact. Took five minutes to quickly determine the issue. Ordered the part and replaced it the next week when it came in. Offered a temporary solution to the problem in the interim. No mark up on the part. Company got it cheaper than if I ordered it myself from GE. $94 for labor is not too bad considering two trips out to my house and 15 minutes of speedy work. Part looks great. Part guaranteed for 90 days Labor for 30 days No guarantee on any rubber, glass and plastic parts (unless your fridge is made of wood, this would probably negate most components installed in any given service). Will remember the quality service and call A. DiChristopher next time an issue comes up that I think is up their alley.

The "no guarantee on rubber, glass or plastic parts" is if the customer breaks the plastic or glass part or tears the rubber parts, if these parts fail under normal wear and tear conditions they would of course be honored under our normal warranty times.

Don's quick thinking saved me a service call! I called my preferred appliance repair company , DiChristopher's, to request switch replacement for my electric cooktop burners. Don suggested that I locate the model number( he told me where to find it) and call back. He called his supplier and called me right back to confirm that the switches were no longer produced for my "vintage" cooktop. By avoiding a service call, he saved me both time and money. Then, he suggested a plan for replacement of the cooktop. This is good customer service.
Description of Work: Helped me figure out that my cooktop could not be repaired because switches for burners are no longer available. Gave me suggestions about how to proceed with replacement.

I called DiChristopher a couple of weeks ago because my dryer wasn't working. After asking me a few questions the tech suggested he was pretty sure the air vent needed to be cleaned out. I appreciate he wanted to save me money and hassle so I called Denlintz as he suggested. He asked if i was a long time customer, which i am, and he said after I had it done to please call back if it did not help. Delintz came and cleaned out the vent on what is a very new house. Today i called DiChristopher back because the dryer is still not working right. The operator was pretty rude, and said they "couldn't come out until at least next week". I tried to explain the situation but she wouldn't let me get one word out. She said "she's sorry" and they aren't a big company with a lot of trucks. I get that and I would have actually been okay waiting til next week but she never bothered to ask and it was pretty clear to me she was annoyed they were busy. Clearly they have too much business. Good for them! If you're looking for a hungry company that does a good job, try one of the other appliance companies out here on angies list.
Description of Work: Provider states they can't come until "at least next week" and they're not "a big company" and they don't have fleet of trucks so they're sorry. I'm okay with that except they asked me to call them back see below. If you're looking for responsive, hungry company that does good work, they only fit the last part.

Response from A DiChristopher Appliance Service
As the customer stated, I did say I was sorry multiple times during the conversation. I also explained to her that we had a technician on vacation this week and the owner was working double time just to keep up. She did not care to hear any of this and hung up on me. About 2 hours later I had a cancellation for the next day. I immediately thought of this customer so I called her. I told her we could service her dryer the next day. She again said very mean things to me on the phone an hung up on me. We have been in business in the Tampa Bay area for over 20 years. We are a small family owned company that takes great pride in the work we do. Sometimes we get overbooked and we appreciate the customers that understand this and work with us.

We contacted them to schedule service call and they were responsive and able to come out the following day. He checked out the garbage disposal and determined it needed to be replaced. We had for quite a while so we kind of expected that. He was courteous and professional and had someone bring over a new garbage disposal which he replaced. Very efficient, clean and quick. Within an hour all was done. Wonderful service. Would highly recommend!!!

A repair of the electronic system would have been $300 for our GE washer and we decided to replace the washer. This GE model has been a problem to other owners. I would be happy to deal with DiChristopher at any time. The only charge was for the service call.
Description of Work: My washer leaked water out on the floor Friday. I called one repair service and they said they couldn't come out till Tuesday. Then I called DiChristopher and they were out the next morning. Anthony checked the system and ran the wash through to see what the problem was. The electronic system was filling the washer and agitating at the same time causing an overflow. He tried resetting the system, but it was still defective. Anthony was pleasant and helpful.

The technician performed a service call for my dishwasher which wasn't working properly. It was merely an accumulation of detergent, which he showed me, and then cleaned the inside. He recommended that I use another product that will prevent the buildup of detergent. Very knowledgeable and personable.

He didn't need to even look, he said you need a new motor...the cost of that plus labor was @200. I think a new refrigerator is a better option. Why couldn't they say that on the phone...instead of coming to the house, asking me about the noise, telling me it was the motor and then I pay 48? They could have said that on the phone, he said I don't even have to look at the motor, that's what it is.
Description of Work: Called because my ice machine was having issues.

Response from A DiChristopher Appliance Service
With the technology put in todays appliances it is impossible to diagnose a noise over the phone. There is a fan motor in the freezer that can also make the customer think the ice maker is making a noise. There could have been ice stuck in the Auger assemly making a noise. (this could have been cleared and repaired for just a simple labor charge) but we need to come to the customers home and listen to the noise and find out exactly which component is making the noise to give the proper diagnoses and price. We would be doing a dis-service to the customer to give multiple guesses over the phone and still possibly be wrong without seeing and hearing it in person. While we were at this customers' home we cleaned her coils at no additional charge as a courtesy to her.

The owner is whom I spoke with over the phone and who performed the service. He was considerate, courteous, professional and skilled. I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE "KNOW" THEIR CRAFT! He came over to my home and assessed the dysfunction and it turned out to be some motor in the icemaker. Luckily he had the part in van, as I correctly informed him of my refridgerator's make, model. He replace the parts and made me ice!! Good as new. He did all of this around the Christmas holiday. He really knows his stuff and was pleasant to speak to. Will definitely call upon his services again if I should need an appliance repaired. VERY IMPRESSED!!
Description of Work: Correctly assessed the dysfunction Reported what was broken, quoted price and labor cost Retrieved part from service vehicle Installed said part into freezer (ice maker) Gave be a brief education on what was wrong Initiated ice making function Gave me a magnet to remember him by! :)

They were great and my machine works better then when I first bought it.
Description of Work: They repaired my washer. Why would I spend 400 on a repair will the repair parts were metal and the factory ships with new machine with plastic parts which will last longer? Anthony was great he explained everything and I decided to repair instead of getting a new one this machine was only 2 1/2 years old and a friend of mind just ended up with the same problem and her machine is 3 years old.

What a nice guy! We just moved and are renting our old house, and the day after Christmas they called to say the fridge was broken. I am ashamed to say I forgot the gentleman's name, but he coordinated the visit with our renters, let us pay over the phone, and did a great job! I was impressed that even though this was last minute, he recognized the sense of urgency given that it was a fridge. We intend to call to schedule some proactive maintenance on our own fridge, as well as on the A/C!

DiChristopher Appliance Service is a family owned business. Don (owner) was courteous and speedy! He had a friendly, clean cut demeanor and wiped his feet before entering our home. Our ice maker stopped making ice. He came the day after Christmas, had the part in hand and replaced it--literally-- within 15 minutes of arriving. He really knows his refridgerators. Will use their service again for any future issues with any of my appliances!
Description of Work: Don DiChristopher assessed the malfunctioning ice maker. Showed me the issued. Gave me a quick lesson about ice makers. Went out to his company van, pulled out the part and replaced. He then tested the system. Because it takes some time to "make" ice....he stated to contact him if it did not produce ice within the day.

My Side by Side Refrigerator suddenly ceased working on Saturday 23 November 2012. Since it was late on a Saturday, I tried contacting various appliance repair services that were identified on Angie's List. The approximately six services I attempted to contact either did not make service calls on Saturday evenings or Sundays, or were not available to talk to due to the late hour. In most cases I left a voicemail on the answering services with the hope I would get a call back on Monday. Happily, DiChristopher Appliance Service (Don) called me Saturday evening to let me know he could come by my residence Sunday morning. He said that he typically did not make service calls on Sundays, but that he had a special case he was responding to on Sunday which was close to my residence. Don and his assistant (Alison) arrived mid-morning on Sunday and was able to make an immediate and accurate assessment of the problem with my refrigerator. The problem was a burned out thermostat. Don quickly replaced the thermostat and doubled checked for any other problems. The work was completed all within about 30 minutes and completely resolved the problem. The cost for the service (including labor, cost of parts and tax) was $195.38. This cost did include a 10% discount on the labor due to being an Angie's list member. My only chagrin was the service cost I felt a bit high, but being a Sunday it seemed to be the price one in need usually has to pay. Nonetheless, Don and his assistant were very courteous and professional and I would definitely hire A. DiChristopher Appliance Service's again.
