"I wish I would have contacted them sooner. If you're like me and went with the bigger names before this company... it's NOT too late to switch. Bite the bullet and let Hurlburt go and use Comfort and Cooling! They communicate much much better than the other company. Ever since starting with Hurlburt it felt like they try to scam you in every way! Not this company. And during their visit they found numerous things that Hurlburt either completed missed, or was not interested in sharing with us. Will continue using this company going forward! 10/10"

"The company cannot repair what it sells to consumers. We were sold a service warranty on a washer/dryer unit we purchased from the company. The company sent a repair service out to work on the washer/dryer unit but the service man could not repair it despite working on several times. We waited over a month for parts and for service work. The company cannot repair what it sells to consumers and I definitely recommend against doing any business with them."

Appliance Sales questions, answered by experts

A convection microwave has two different modes that enable it to operate as a microwave or a convection oven. Inverter microwaves specifically use inverter technology that makes them more effective and able to evenly heat food at a rapid pace. Some convection microwaves use inverter technology, too—the two don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

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.

If a junk removal company or scrap hauler is taking your old appliances, you’ll just need to make sure they’re empty and disconnected before removal. If you’re bringing them to a disposal site yourself, check the site’s guidelines to find out if you need to take any steps to prepare your appliances first, particularly if the appliance uses refrigerants.

A microwave can last anywhere from five to 10 years. To get the most out of this appliance, you should follow a few maintenance tips:

Immediately clean up spills and food bits. To help with stuck-on food, heat a bowl of water with ¼ cup of lemon juice for one minute.
For over-the-range microwaves, clean the grease filter that’s underneath it. This will ensure the microwave runs efficiently.
Never put anything metal in the microwave, as it can create a fire hazard. Also, avoid dishes with metal trim for the same reason.
Avoid slamming the door. With years of use, the door switches could easily break.

Often, a repairperson who comes to your home will advise you on whether to replace or repair an appliance. If the repair cost is high and only slightly extends the appliance's longevity, the repairperson may recommend a replacement. Keep in mind that if you decide to buy a new appliance, you’ll likely still have to pay the repairperson for their time and assessment.
