The appointment was quickly made at a time convenient for me. The service people arrived promptly, moved my refrigerator to clean the coils in the back and cleaned the inside as well. They removed all the food, shelves and drawers, cleaned everything, and put it all back. The refrigerator runs more quietly now, so I guess it needed the service. Job well done.
Description of Work: I purchased a deal on Angie's List for a complete refrigerator cleaning.

I called AV Appliance Service based on recommendations from Angie's List. I have an Explorer refrigerator - not a common brand - and it was collecting water under the crispers. The guy on the phone was extremely personable and set a date for the following day between 9:00 - 11:00 am. At 11:00, no one had shown up, so I called to find out why. I got an answering machine but before I had a chance to finish leaving the message, they had called me back. They were running late and asked if I could be there for another couple of hours. Didn't much appreciate the delay. Wouldn't have minded so much if they had just let me know; I could have run out to do an errand. I said as much on the phone and within another 10 minutes, the repair man had called to say he'd be there in 20 minutes. Once he got there, he was excellent - efficient, knowledgeable, well-spoken. He immediately diagnosed and fixed the problem. Since then the fridge has been purring along, no water under the crispers. So even though I'm dinging them for punctuality, the fact is, I trust them and will definitely use them anytime I have an appliance issue.

My refrigerator wasn't getting cold,so I called AV Appliance and informed him that I got his name and number from Angie's list. I told him the problem and he said that he would get back to me,which he did within 15 minutes. He sent a repair person that same day and it was discovered that I might need a part. The repair person said that he would order the part and would be back the next day, while he was there he clean out the part that was needed. well the next morning the frigde was cold. when the repair came to change the part I told him that the fridge was working, and he said great. He said that he will credit our card for $220.00 the money that it would have cost for the part and labor. I was so happy that we didn't have to spend the money to replace that part and with him being so honest with us. Thank you Angie,for your list. The Wilkins

We purchased a "Big Deal" which promised to clean dust around the coils of the refrigerator. do a tune up, clean the inside of the refrigerator with a 'mild soap" and clean the bottom tray. The technician arrived over an hour late, but it was a rainy night, so that is not a huge problem. We had to call the technician to see when he would arrive, he did not call us to say he was running late. He cleaned the coils with a brush that unfortunately dispersed dust particles all over the kitchen, and dust "bunnies" all over the floor. He did not clean the floor when he left, so we had to mop the floor and wipe down the kitchen after this service. I would think that a vacuum cleaner/suction device could be used to minimize the mess. He used Formula 409 and OUR paper towels to clean out the inside of the refrigerator. That is hardly a "mild soap". We were feeding our children dinner during this time and the fumes smelled. After he left and we were putting everything back into the refrigerator, we noticed/realized that the bottom tray was untouched and quite dirty. We wanted to give the company a chance to rectify the situation, so a phone call was made. No apology was given, just a simple statement that the technician did what the deal advertised. He said the bottom tray cleaning is "not what they do". Our refrigerator is running better after this service, due to the cleaning of the coils. However, the interior did not need too much cleaning. So we basically paid $80 to have the coils dusted off, then we had to clean up after it! We do not feel that we got the complete advertised service. I am very happy we didn't pay the full price for this service -- not worth it!!!!

Response from AV Appliance Service
I apologize once again as I did when you called, we did apologize that we did not satisfy your expectations when you called. When we scheduled an appointment with you we went out of our regular schedule to set up an appointment in the evening so you did not have to miss work, we gave you a range between 5-7pm unfortunately we made it around 6:30 due to the traffic and parking in your area. We used an antibacterial agent to clean walls and floor of your refrigerator, the shelves and drawers were removed and washed in sink with water and soap. The coils were extremely dusty and unfortunately it did spread around the refrigerator, what we did not clean was the drain pan under the refrigerator, we do not clean it unless you have special place to clean as this pan is extremely dirty and would probably contaminate your kitchen sink. It is proven to most of our clients that purchased this deal that the cleaning improved the performance of their refrigerator however it may be messy at times and we will try to do better in the future.

The fridge/freezer may still need additional freeon which is an additional $100. We are giving it a few weeks to see if this great cleaning will be what it takes to get this machine through another year or two. Really recommend this service.
Description of Work: Robert was professional and came to work on our 16 year old GE Fridge/freezer on Memorial day at 7:30 in the morning. We hope to just replace this fridge soon but need it to get through another year or two. Cleaning the coils and the whole machine seems to really have helped.

We needed help with or 10 year old Sub Zero fridge. AV answered the phone and got a service tech to or apartment the same day. The service tech spent a few minutes looking at the unit and determined that it needed more Freon. He told us how much it would cost before starting,then promptly carried out the service.
Description of Work: Service call to determine what was wrong with fridge ($85). Diagnosis by examining the unit and asking us questions. Adding Freon and cleaning unit piping and condenser unit ($160) Excellent!

The service man was very punctual and repaired the door quickly. I did not get any competing estimates, so I cannot really comment on their cost in relation to others. I am very satisfied with the work. The door is functioning properly for the first time in years. My only, very minor, complaint is that he turned the refrigerator off and forgot to turn it back on. When I went in to it next, the ice cubes were floating in their trays, but everything else was fine.
Description of Work: We had our refrigerator door hinge replaced and the door realigned.

The water dispenser started to work an hour after the service person left and it continued to work for a day or two after. After that, the line must have re-frozen at some point, because it?s been blocked ever since. The service man arrived on time and he was neat and professional. He was not able to permanently fix the issue, but that is due more to our model of fridge than this service visit.
Description of Work: The issue we were having was a non functioning water dispenser on a GE refrigerator. The technician arrived and seems to identify the problem quickly. He told us that it was likely due to frozen water in the line. He tried to heat it up a bit with a heat gun, but gave that up so he wouldn't damage the refrigerator door. He told us that the condenser was dirty and covered with lint and that this might an uneven temperature in the freezer making the bottom colder than the top. He lowered the temperature of the water from the control panel at the front of the dispenser, cleaned out the motor with some spray, and told us to wait an hour or two and try again. He mentioned that if that didn't fix it, we should unplug the fridge for 24 hours to let any ice in the line completely melt.

Didn't seem to have a clue what was going on with the oven. Came up with an excuse about a wiring problem in the apt which is not true. I did give good points for punctuality and responsiveness though it was a total waste of my time and money.
Description of Work: He claimed that he could not fix my oven because the hot and neutral were reversed at the outlet. I checked with my meter after he left and this is not true. He was calling the narrow prong neutral, it is the hot. I don't have an electrical problem and the oven in not repaired. $30 down the drain. I want my money back.

Technician showed you there was a problem with the ground that is why your circuit breaker trips, we do not lie to have an excuse, we are willing to refund you the 30 dollars plus more if you have an electrician prove us wrong. We stand by our technicians statement. We recommend you fix this problem asap to avoid a possible fire. You should not write such horrible review before you have a second professional opinion as it ruins our credibility and our reputation. The technician that visit you has over 15 years experience in the field.

It was a few days before Easter when I called AV Appliance for help. I spoke with the owner who was willing to come out on Good Friday from the Bronx to Crown Heights, Brooklyn to look at the stove. Everybody knows how bad the traffic is on a Friday, especially when it is a holiday weekend. So I was very impressed with the customer service they offered. They were able to determine the problem, which didn't require any repair. I had purchased a coupon from this company on Angie's web-site so it only cost me $30 for the service call. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend their services.
Description of Work: There was nothing wrong with the stove and AV Appliance helped to determine the cause of the problem.

The technician made a quick assessment, recommended $550 in repairs, mentioned that it will most likely cost more. Then, recommended we just buy a whole new washing machine. I had another company evaluate the situation, made recommendations, set a price and completed the job for $150 less.

I am sorry to hear about your bad experience, we did try our best to respond the same day and we had a hard time to access building since it was after hours and you insisted you wanted someone that day. The technician did not have the proper tools since building did not allow it. We ended up charging for just the 80 dollar visit, I do not understand where the 400 comes from. We recognize we can be wrong with our diagnostic and are willing to refund your 80 dollars if you can show proof of work performed by other company.

I called the company and told the guy I needed my ice maker in my Sub Zero fixed. I was told someone could be at my apartment Monday....and perhaps on Sunday. Within minutes, a technician called and told me he'd be at my place within an hour. Less than an hour later, the really nice tech showed up. In less than an hour, my ice drawer was cleaned out and the new ice maker was installed. The tech asked for $350 plus tax........we settled on cash. Being curious, I went on line to check the price for the ice maker. There are many resources listing prices averaging approx $40.00... I didn't know appliance techs made $300/hour. We even discussed the jerk who came over last summer to fix my air conditioner who told me I needed to replace the thermostat.....for hundreds of dollars.....I was lucky that the day before replacement was scheduled, a friend was over, changed the batteries and the thermostat worked just fine. That tech was either an idiot or a thief. When I called his shop and let them know batteries was all that I needed, the person asked "Are you canceling the new thermostat?" Although my ice maker in my fridge has been fixed, I feel totally ripped off.
