Although I lost some time because I needed to schedule another company, I greatly appreciated the service man's honesty, and not charging me because he couldn't address the problem.
Description of Work: The electronic panel on my clothes dryer seemed stuck and needed to be "rebooted." When the service man from Better Homes Appliance came, it took him 5 minutes to say that because they weren't a certified repair company for the brand of dryer I had (GE), they didn't have the instruction manual that explained the process to deal with this problem. He also didn't have the ability to call the manufacturer to find out what to do. The repairman was very nice, gave me the name of another company whom he thought could help, and didn't charge me for the visit.

The service was great. I think the price was a little high for a valve and a actuator for the ice maker but it was cheaper than buying a new comparable refrigerator. My only negative experience was that both times the service man was at the house (had to order a part to complete the job), he didn't clean up the floor. I had to mop up water and dirt left on the floor. I had to down grade their rating based on that and the price. Overall, everything was good and I am happy with the repairs.
Description of Work: My water dispenser was not working and the ice maker flap was not closing all of the way. The service rep replaced the a valve and replaced the actuator valve that opens and closes the flap on the door to the icemaker.

I have used this company for many years, and have always been amazed at their promptness and professionalism. Today (Saturday), my washing machine filled with water, and STOPPED. I could not get it to drain the water, and it was full of a very large load of towels..Yuck! . I called them and they came out today (Saturday), and fixed it. This, being the Saturday of July 4th weekend. This washing maching is 17 years old. We laughed with the service man about my "antique" They replaced the lid control safety shutoff (mine had disintigrated), and replaced the stripped agitator cogs. The agitator was also not working properly. All is well, and I am thrilled to have this machine work for me a little longer. The woman who answered my franatic call, and the terrific repairman, were absolutely great!!
Description of Work: The Safety shutoff was replaced, and the agitator cogs were replaced. As it turned out, not only was the machine filled with water that wouldn't drain, my agitator was not working properly.

I have used them before. They are really a good company. They do the job pretty well. They are honest and prompt. Their prices are fair. They get in, they get out. They do the work. The appliances are fixed when they are done. I would rate them highly and would use them again in the future.

He was very professional and neat. He was very prompt and always on time. He always explains what's going on and seemed to be reasonably priced.
Description of Work: We used Better Homes Appliance Svc in February to fix our oven, he calibrated the heating element in the oven because one was too hot and one was too low and also fixed the microwave.

My call to schedule appointment was promptly answered (I was surprised when several other companies I had called kept me on hold, routed me through various menus, or did not even answer). The intake person was able to schedule an appointment within 1 day. The service person arrived on time and was very quick. Absolutely no complaints. It's been 2 months and everything is still working perfectly. I also appreciated that they didn't try to sell me on a warranty or long term service like Sears tried to do.

he fridge could not be fixed, but the service man gave me some very useful information about it and i was most impressed with his professionalism and friendliness. i will schedule an appointment for them to come to look at another appliance that is not working. I found them through Angie's List and agree with all the positive reviews of this company!

They never completed the job and I haven?t checked my credit card bill. The guy was nice but then they tried to double charge me; so they were incompetent and I?d never want them back in my house. The technician was nice but he didn?t have the parts. He actually took a cell phone out and took a picture of the inside of my dishwasher because I had to wait for the part. The parts didn?t come of time; so they didn?t end up fixing it. They completed one part of it and the second time they tried to charge me again. They completed my dryer, they changed the heating element. Then he said that I had to have my sink cleaned out, but I already had it cleaned out. You could see from the roof down to the dryer. The heating element still went bad; so he said it was my fault. He wanted to charge me for the part and the labor, but I said no. I just paid for the part, but I shouldn?t even pay for that because I am sure it was a faulty part and there was a warranty on it. They were overpriced.
Description of Work: I used Better Homes Appliance Service about a month or half ago to repair my dishwasher and dryer.

Please read this entire response! The following is a complete account of what happened at this call, I have NO IDEA where the customer got the price of 478.00 and this was a huge waste of time due to something there was no way we could be responsible for, if anyone reads this complete report they will see this. I am very disappointing that someone would post such a write up knowing these facts. Our company did everything possible to help this customer, far more than anyone else in the same situation would have done - 04/13/2011 - 2 of 2 appliances - Maytag DW - not cleaning - 11-2 - Paul Gorka/PC - m# MDBTT60AWW / 36 - s# 27286590AC - needs pump/motor assy, and upper arm assembly - est 289.00+tax - OP - 04/18/2011 - parts call- 1-4 - Paul Gorka/PC - per tech pump is not complete need more pieces will look at diagram and let us know OP -needs seal kit, impellar and outlet, all parts ordered and asked to be sent asap - 05/04/2011 - parts call - 11-2 - Paul/AP - parts look nothing like what in this d/w - m# is correct - Paul is taking pics and we will send them to research /OP -05/05/2011 - tech took pics of what he needs parts in d/w do not match up to what the m# is - per Jack (service manager and owner) - need to leave this one - it looks like someone might have taken the door from another d/w and put it on this tub - the pump/motor pictured is the old style and the m# is a newer style d/w - tech is calling cust to let them know there will be no repair and minimum service charge 14.95 (second appliance) for the dw ,due to the fact that we can not match the parts -/OP/LLL - This is the full account of what happened.

Initially i thought it was the soap door that was causing the problem. Apparently, the washer is showing its age. Kevin made some verbal suggestions to enhance the best performance while the unti is still running.
Description of Work: Dealing with dishwasher problems and I called this company to come out on a Saturday which is nice since i work during the week. Kevin arrived promptly and worked on the problem. Most of the problems stem from age. With some helpful tips from Kevin I mayl be able to use the washer for a little while longer.

The technician stated that a design flaw in this model allowed the dividing wall to freeze internally and there was no remedy. After the tech left I remembered that the airflow is via a rather large opening low on the wall, behind the vegetable drawer. He did not inspect this. I did. It was completely open. The only reason I will not follow up with them is that it is likely that this unit will be replaced within several months due to a remodel. I likely will not use this company again. On May 16 I phoned the company and explained the continuing problem and the results of the last visit. They sent out a technician with 40+ years of experience. He quickly determined what the problem was. Unfortunately it was a fix that was too expensive for this aged model. This visit was not charged and was very satisfying. They have turned around my opinion (as long as they send out a seasoned tech).
Description of Work: Employed this company to diagnose and repair a side-by-side refrigerator that was not properly cooling the refrigerator side. The pleasant technician diagnosed a frozen air passage between the fridge and freezer by feeling the airflow with the freezer door open then closed.

They have been fantastic. I have had them here three times. Their price was really reasonable and they were great about getting out here. They were very well priced. I can get a better price somewhere but they did a good job. The quality of their work was very good. I would use them again in the future.

It went really well & this company is very professional. The repairman came last week & ordered the part (gasket) & it was installed on 4/1/11. The part was delivered to the company before 4/1/11, but I was not able to be home for the repair to take place before 4/1. Paul, the repairman, also cleaned my coils & balanced the refrigerator door so that it does not scrape now & it closes properly.

The service was poor, because they were not able to figure out what was wrong with the refrigerator. They gave us a wrong prognosis. They were not very knowledgeable on what they are servicing. They may need some more training.

My washer was leaking and I had some handyman look into it.He said the pump was bad and convinced me to spend 140.00 on a new pump.I went on Angie's list and called a feww appliance repair guys.They all said pump on GE washer ,the model i have, almost never go bad and it must be something else.Then i called my favorite apppliance repair guy at better homes appliance repair.He had already fixed my refrigerator and dishwasher.He came and told me problem is not the pump.It is the bearing. He also recommended not to spend any money on the bearing as it is not worth spending 250.00 on something that will eventually have more problems in the future.
Description of Work: Looked at the leak from my washer.I did not have it fixed because it was very expensive but i am satisfied with the reason he gave me.

Called and they were here in no time. I was extremely happy. Called number and was told they would be here between 2 and 4 pm. The repairman called soon after and said he was running early & could get here in 10 minutes, if that was ok. Of course, that was wonderful news. He explained was was wrong with the fridge and it actually made sense of the 'strange occurance' I noticed the entire week before. Every part of the experience was the upmost professional. From the initial phone call to the service itself. I would DEFINITELY call them again for another appliance problem.

Tech was professional and helpful. He recommended that I replace the electronics board on the fridge and showed me where it was. They quoted a price of $500 to have them swap it and it could take up to 10 days to get the part, but suggested I could do it myself. I ended up calling Bosch and getting the part for $135.00 and replaced it myself after having it shipped 2-day air. The price to have them replace it seemed a bit high considering how simple it was, but the tech's diagnosis was correct.. replacing the board did fix the problem. The $50.00 fee to diagnose seemed reasonable but I am not sure I would have been so happy if I paid $500 to have them do it. Overall I felt the company was helpful and honest and didn't pressure me into having them do it.
Description of Work: Bosch fridge fans were intermittently functioning. Tech came out and checked the compressor and the fan on the compressor which all appeared to be working. He recommended swapping out the electronics board on the fridge which controls the fans.

It was complex for him to get access to it and work on it, but he did and was able to repair it. He was professional, but friendly. He set up an appointment and arrived on time. It required a second visit, which again he was able to manage at the assigned time. If we were to have another problem, without a question we would use him. There was nothing about him that was unacceptable.
