156 My initial request for repair service went to an answering machine but I received a quick call back from Ken. On the date of service, he arrived within the time frame he had mentioned, giving us a courtesy call when he was in route. He was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable about the repair...
Ken's Appliance Service IncVery professional, correctly did the repair, put everything back in place. Service provided in my home. Was able to schedule for next day. Excellent overall.
I first called Sears and they said it would be approximately 2 weeks before they could have a technician come by. I called a local repair shop but they wanted me to bring it to them. Steve at Freestate mower came out the following day and fixed my snowblower in no time. He was very...
Freestate Mower RepairWonderful experience! After reading the estimate for repair, I found I could get the part cheaper. I asked if I could purchase it for him to install. Very flexible and willing to let me do that, saving me extra money. Very courteous and professional, I would definitely use this company again.
Richard's Appliance RepairI cannot more highly recommend Schaefer Mechanical Services! And especially Dave (for residential). When you call, you'll be greeted by someone who is friendly and genuinely interested in helping you. Within 30 minutes, Dave called. He intently listened to my list of repairs, provided insight...
The prices were good and I have had no need for any repairs for the last five years. It is really lightweight and works very well.
It was a disaster. I checked on the house, and the carpets were not vacuumed, they did not wipe down the shelves, neglected to sweep the basement floor, and it goes on and on. I tried my best to make it idiot-proof, but the idiots get dumber each year. I had an explicit set of instructions...

"Home Systems Appliance Repair did an excellent repair on my 18 year old panel-ready 42 inch Built-In counter depth GE Profile Refrigerator. The original GE tech who looked at the leak in the freezer evaporator a year ago, told me the refrigerator was non repairable because the "vacuum pump" retrofit part it needed was no longer available. After paying his $200 visit fee for a 2 minute consultation, he offered me a discount on a new GE refrigerator to fit which had not been built yet. Fast forward to now, GE does have 42 inch built-in counter depth Monogram side-by-side for $12,000 and $2,000 of Kraftmaid panels. Home Systems Appliance Repair cost me $400 to identify and fix a broken heat transfer tab in the freezer evaporator unit. I saved $15,000 - - not bad for paying Appliance Repair for a 2 hour job. They seriously looked and found the problem. I highly recommend Manny (the tech who did the work), and Home Systems Appliance Repair. Susan"

"Mike came to Annapolis yesterday to repair my central vac. Showed him the unit and then went inside for a short while and then asked him if he carried parts on what appeared to be a well-equipped truck. He said the motor wasn't on the truck; it was already installed. I was amazed. He was punctual, smart. fast and efficient and helped me use the warranty. Couldn't be happier with the service and expertise. Highly recommend."

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 $55 per 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 $50 to $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.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
