Are you looking for Professional Appliance Repair in Seattle, Bellevue, Takoma, Issaquah, Kirkland, Dedmont, Newcastle, and surrounding areas? In this case, you came to the right place! At Professional Appliance Repair we offer expert appliance repair and maintenance services for refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, ovens stoves, and cooktops, no matter what model number does it have!

"I'd like to express my disappointment with the recent service visit. The technician displayed unprofessional behavior through rude questioning and used inappropriate tools (Cobra Pliers instead of proper hex ratchet or ratchet wrenches) that scratched the burner base. He quoted an additional $250 for cleaning on top of the $99 visit fee, which I had no option but to agree, then failed to fix the issue and recommended replacing the entire assembly. The lack of respect shown toward me as a customer, combined with the use of wrong tools and failure to complete the repair, made this experience not one I would recommend to others."

"They didn't seem interested in repairing my furnace. All they wanted to do was sell me a new furnace. The demeanor of the technician, Nicholas, changed to argumentative and belligerent when I said I was not buying a new furnace. When I tried to complain to the manager, he became argumentative as well. He did return the diagnostic fee after I told him I was getting a 2nd opinion."

"Tyler from Taylor heating and AC was the best. It was a hot Saturday (mid 90 degrees) and he crawled up into a 115 degree F attic to help resolve our AC. Not only did he identify the problem, he also fixed the issue for us on the spot so we could have AC during this heatwave—all while working under immensely hot conditions. I’d give a 10 out of 5 stars if I could."

"AirBest home services were amazing! I am so happy I put in a mini-split/heat pump and am amazed at how quiet it is and effective. Jason is awesome! He was very knowledgeable about rebate programs, made reasonable recommendations (rather than oversell), was quick with the quote, and got me scheduled within a week. He also offered interest free financing for a year! AirBest was $12K less than my second proposal (because they are a small business and more lean). The staff arrived on time, were respectful of my property, were able to problem solve effectively when things didn't go exactly as planned an got my two rooms installed beautifully and professionally in a day as promised! I liked them so much I promoted them to others in my condo complex. Thank you AirBest, can't say enough great things about you."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Because of the potential danger associated with incorrectly capping the gas line that serves the gas fireplace, many people will choose to hire a professional to do the work. Some homeowners may choose to hire a pro to only handle the gas line for them. They then may attempt to remove the actual insert on their own, which is a challenging—but not impossible—DIY project.

Some of the reasons a chimney damper won't close properly include shoddy installation, age-related damage, or heavy snow or ice affecting a top-sealing type. Poor chimney maintenance and a buildup of rust, debris, or creosote can also cause dampers to jam. Annual inspections and chimney sweep costs are worth it to help you avoid a damper disaster. 

A fireplace hearth is necessary in most areas per building codes, especially for gas and wood-burning fireplaces. Electric fireplaces may not require a hearth, so check local building codes or ask a pro for guidance if you’re leaning toward electric. A fireplace hearth can decrease the risk of flying embers creating a fire and burning your home down. That’s why fireproof material, like tile, is used for the hearth.

Yes, you can put a freestanding one in a corner if you’re tight on space. Because pellet stoves don’t get as hot as other types of wood stoves, there only needs to be 3 inches of clearance from the wall on each side. Placing it in a corner should not impact the ventilation—you’ll still need to follow safety precautions by not installing too close to a window. Typically, it’s 4 feet from a window or 18 inches if the stove uses an external air source for combustion. Always check the owner’s manual for specific instructions.

Hardwoods such as oak, maple, and hickory are the best types of wood to burn in a wood stove. These woods burn hotter and longer than softwoods, producing less creosote and fewer emissions. Hardwoods provide a more efficient and cleaner burn, which helps maintain better air quality and reduces the frequency of cleaning and maintenance required for your stove.
