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."

"A number of the digital buttons on my oven had started to work only inconsistently. Bold and Short responded immediately when I posted the job and came out to do an estimate. The price was reasonable so we decided to move forward. When Vitalii came again he had a new part to try. He installed it but the oven still didn't work. He reassured us that he would still be able to fix it for the original quoted cost, but had to get an entire new panel from the manufacturer. He returned a few days later, installed the new panel and additionally fixed a piece of rubber gasket that had come lose from around the oven window for no additional charge. Very happy with the service, the price and his work!"

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Like other kinds of masonry and brickwork, a properly installed chimney should have a lifespan that extends beyond multiple generations of homeowners. But there are parts of the chimney that will need to be replaced more frequently. 

  • Clay tile or cast-in-place liners should be replaced every 50 years.

  • Stainless steel liners will last an average of 15–20 years.

  • Mortar will require replacement every 25–30 years.

  • Chimney crowns have an average lifespan of 50–75 years.

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.

Yes. It’s okay to leave a pellet stove on overnight, and these stoves can provide 24 to 48 hours of warmth from one ignition. However, you should practice proper pellet stove maintenance, like cleaning the burn pot before each use, deep cleaning the unit at least once per year, and running the fan when the stove is lit.

Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. Dampers are metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you’ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it’s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. 

Costs depend on chimney height, soot level, labor, and any additional repairs or liner replacements required.
