They were amazing. We had 1 truck and 2 movers and they worked non-stop. They did not waste any time but at the same time were extremely careful with all of our belongings. (We have moved before and had movers who seemed to purposely take their time which in turn cost us more money.) We had a 2...

Chris was awesome...So very helpful and knowledgable! We had tried to get the jacuzzi pump from a couple other plumbers, and they either were not able to find a replacement pump or just never called us back. Will definitely call them next time we need some plumbing or appliance repair.

Appliance Sales questions, answered by experts

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

As tempting as it may seem to leave your oven racks in the oven during the self-clean cycle, we don’t recommend it. Stainless steel racks can crack or warp due to extreme temperatures. They may also damage the porcelain that lines your cavity by expanding and contracting throughout the cycle.

While beautiful, stainless steel is notoriously thin and more vulnerable to denting than other finishes. One way to avoid the potential for denting is to purchase a high-end appliance made with thicker stainless steel.

No, you should not run two refrigerators on the same circuit as it is likely to overload the circuit and cause the breaker to trip or worse—cause an electrical fire. Each standard-size refrigerator should be on a dedicated 20-amp circuit. You should never plug a refrigerator into an extension cord or power strip as it can cause serious safety hazards. Refrigerators have built-in surge protection that safeguards them from the damage of power surges.

Unless you’re a professional chef, pro-level appliances are probably not worth it. The price difference can be anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 for a higher-end, pro set of appliances, while fully-loaded, energy-efficient mass-market models will likely have everything you need to cook everything from cassoulets to crepes.
