We contacted Mike, and he arrived at our home within 45 minutes of calling. He determined what the problem was and contacted his parts service provider. Since the cooling coils were heavily frozen, he set up a defrosting process and left to retrieve the parts. He returned within one hour just as the defrosting process concluded. The parts were installed, and the refrigerator has been running like new. Mike's price was reasonable, and we will be contacting him for any future appliance needs. Thanks very much, Mike!
Description of Work: Our 26-year old refrigerator stopped cooling early Saturday morning.

The service men were at our house for about an hour. They took our dryer apart to find that a ball of lint had gotten lodged in a piece of the machine and there was a incomplete combustion and that what was causing the odor. The guys were very knowledgeable and gave my husband a full tutorial of what they had found and where. We were very comfortable with the outcome. However, now our dryer does make a periodic ticking sound when it runs. The sound is not that loud and very random so I have not called Advantage Appliance back to take another look.
Description of Work: Our dryer had a very corrosive odor as it ran. The service man (which was actually the owner of the company) came out to diagnose the issue and fix it. Two men showed up for the appointment. They joked at the door, that I was getting two for the price of one. They had not done much work on LG dryers so the owner thought he would bring his brother along to take a look as well, which I appreciated. I was taking a chance on this company because I knew they had not worked on LG before but they got really high marks on angie's list.

Fantastic customer service - phone answered immediately, Mike, the repairman came out the next day and was done within an hour.
Description of Work: We were experiencing loud, clunking noises coming from our Maytag dishwasher and really thought we were going to have to buy a new one right before the holidays. We were hesitant to call an appliance repair service as I thought they were going to tell me that I would need a brand new dishwasher AND charge me for that recommendation on top of it. After reading the great reviews on Advantage Appliance, I called for an appointment. Within 24 hours, Mike came in, took apart the machine, cleaned out one piece of broken glass, a rubber stopper and one metal twist tie. WA-LA! No more clunking and our dishwasher works like a charm! Mike was lovely to talk to and most professional. Will never hesitate to call an appliance repair service again and Advantage Appliance will be the only company I call!

Left message after hours on Thursday night, called back at 7:30 a.m. Friday morning to set an appointment to see my dryer later that same morning. Gave an honest diagnostic that the problem, while a minor nuisance, didn't need immediate attention. His assessment was well-worth the $69 trip charge. When the thing breaks for real, he will be the one fixing it!

Tom is an excellent HVAC professional and a pretty darned good handyman to boot. You will be very pleased with both Mike and Tom.
Description of Work: My furnace malfunctioned this morning. I called Advantage as I had used Mike for appliance repair in the past. His brother Tom is now with him doing HVAC work. Tom came out this afternoon, did a thorough job of inspecting the furnace and repaired what turned out to be a minor glitch. In addition, with almost no salesmanship effort, he advised on several options I had to improve the operation of the heating unit. It was like having a trusted friend giving advise without heavy close pressure.

Mike was ready to come out the next day but I had to delay because of my schedule. He gave me a 4-hr window and came right in the middle. He took his shoes off without my asking. He resolved the problem in about 20 minutes, including running the machine through the fill and drain cycles to confirm the problem was fixed. He identified a problem with the routing of the drain line and corrected it. He provided numerous tidbits of info about the way the d/w works, and provided helpful advice about quantity and type of detergent. Another excellent experience with a highly-rated Angie's Listee. He also honored his coupon with no problem. I will be calling his company again FOR SURE.

We just moved into our house and had trouble with our oven not getting hot enough. Mike from Advantage Appliance came out right away and determined that our ignitor was not working properly. He explained to me what was wrong with the oven and a quick tutorial on how this new oven worked. He was friendly, prompt and did the work quickly and well.

We have a Garland free standing range that is at least 10 years old. Yesterday (Sunday) the oven refused to light. I left a message at Advantage Appliance Service Sunday evening asking if someone could take a look at it. Mike called back before 8am the next day (Monday) and said that though he's never seen a Garland Range before (they are no longer sold to residences -- well actually a company called "Bluestar" apparently makes an identical version now) he would take a look. He said he would be by between 10am and noon (the same day). He arrived at 11 and quickly determined that the igniter was bad. He had a replacement (igniters are pretty universal, and in fact the one in the oven was only about three years old) and quickly installed it. I also told him that the convection fan no longer worked. He took enough of it apart to determine that the motor was bad. His supplier doesn't carry parts for Garland nor Bluestar, but said I could find it online (I in fact purchased it from Bluestar a few minutes ago). Mike then showed me what I would have to do to install it - it should be easy. The oven now lights and we can get back to baking!! This repair call was one of the best I've experienced. Mike was prompt, efficient, easy to talk to, and didn't mind me looking over his shoulder. The price for the repair call and part were quite reasonable. He also grew up in the area where we live and had some colorful and fun history to tell! We'll definitely call Advantage Appliance Service and Mike again if the need arises.
Description of Work: Mike replaced the glow igniter in our oven. He also showed me how to remove and re-install the convection fan.

Our overall experience with Advantage Appliance (Mike and Tom) was great . Timely, professional, knowledgeable just really great people to work with.
Description of Work: We had Tom Murrin come out and give us an estimate on replacing our Furnace and Air Conditioner. I had other bids but Tom's knowledge was superior to anyone else we talked to. He completed the job in a timely manner and his professionalism was outstanding. He saved us a couple of thousand dollars and he provides the same guarantees as the big companies. We also had his brother Mike handle some of our repairs on our appliances. He responded immediately and like his brother saved us money and we didn't have to purchase a new appliance. I can't say enough about these two brothers I would highly recommend them to others.

Mike returned my phone call within hours of leaving a message and was able to get out to my house within 2 days. We have a backup refrigerator so I told him it was not an emergency situation. He arrived on time and was very pleasant to have around. He was friendly and patient with my children who love to watch repairmen work. Our refrigerator is about 10 years old and I was wanting to get an idea of whether we should repair it or replace it. Mike showed me the part that had gotten burned out and talked to me about similar problems that he has seen with my same model refrigerator. He also talked to me about other things that might go wrong with our refrigerator, based upon experiences he has had with the same model. All of this information really helped me to make a decision to repair rather than replace. Mike had the part needed and made the repair right then. His visit was about an hour long. I am very satisfied with Mike's service.
Description of Work: Mike came out to look at our refrigerator which had stopped working. He replaced our adaptive defrost. He also noticed that one of the refrigerator light bulbs had shattered (this happened months ago and I never got around to replacing it). He removed the broken light bulb and ordered a new one to be shipped directly to my home. He made sure that I knew how to get into that part of the refrigerator so I could put the new lightbulb in when it arrived. He did not charge me any extra labor for helping with the lightbulb.

overall - it went better than expected
Description of Work: I called Mike and informed him my washing machine would not drain. I told him I thought the lid activation switch was broken. He asked for the model number of my machine and preordered the part. When he came out he diagnosed the problem and because he had preordered the part he was able to fix the machine at the time of his first visit. He was very prompt and I was back to washing clothes in a very short time.

Mike returned our initial call promptly even though it was towards later on in the business day. He was able to schedule our service for the next day. We missed his first service call due to a misunderstanding of service time by 1 hour. Yet he managed to squeeze us in promptly on the same day without any problem. Once he arrived & after having a look at the refrigerator, Mike was able to diagnose the problem right away, replace the necessary part (adaptive defrost control board), then defrosted the all the ice formed on the back side of the freezer compartment with a hair dryer. The price was fair & reasonable as he did not charge us his full rate for the time spent to defrost the freezer, which was nice since we were able to use the refrigerator sooner than later. Very friendly & professional, reasonable service rate, definitely gets enthusiastic thumbs up from us!
Description of Work: diagnosed refrigerator that lost its cooling, replaced the adaptive defrost control board, manually defrosted the freezer compartment.

I called at 7:20 am and Mike gave me the option of coming out in the morning or afternoon. I chose morning and he said he could be at my house within the next couple hours. He arrived around 8:45 and diagnosed an issue in the compressor that unfortunately couldn't be fixed. He advised me on my options, answered all of my questions, and offered his opinions on brands of refrigerators and various features. He was professional and friendly, and I was glad that he spent the time answering all of my questions instead of just moving on to the next job, considering the actual issue took little time to diagnose.

Mike's service estimate call went well.
Description of Work: Washing machine had been leaking water and making loud noise. Mike checked it out and said that w/ parts and labor it would cost about the price of a new washer to fix, so his recommendation was to buy a new one. He was very knowledgable and friendly, and I would call on him for appliance estimates and repair again. He had also been very helpful on the phone with my husband.

When I called, Mike answered promptly. He was able to come on a day that I was available. He was prompt, diagnosed the problem - microcomputer versus control board. He matched the price that we had for the part and ordered it. He returned a few days later with the part and installed it. He also adjusted the top of the dryer so that it no longer rubbed against the drum, so now the dryer is much quieter.

Great prompt service! Mike was very courteous and patient in working with me to schedule the appointment to accommodate my tennant's schedule. I appreciated his flexibility regarding billing. I would highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Great service! I live in Florida and rent a condo to a tennant in Woodridge, IL. The tennant called me to tell me the dishwasher was not working because she broke a glass in it. I contacted Advantage Appliance to see if they were willing to make a service call for me. Mike was extremely accommodating and even offered to mail my invoice to Florida for payment so I could pay by personal check. It was actually the garbage disposal that was not working. He confirmed the dishwasher and disposal were now working properly.
