Service was very prompt, same day. Serviceman Larry was very polite. He did not have the part on hand, but it was ordered, and he returned 3 days later to install as per agreed price. Also honored the coupon on Angie's List for $20 off.

The service person arrived at 9:55AM. The dryer repair was performed in a professional manner and at the cost that we had predicted. The service person was very neat and provided excellent instructions on how to keep the dryer running efficiently for years to come. We were extremely pleased with this service and will highly recommend the Better Homes Appliance Service to all our friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: The dryer was making a terrible squealing noise which we determined was the roller bearings on the drum. The cost to purchase the set of bearings would have been approximately $100. We called Better Homes Appliance Service (based on the Angie's List rating). The company set up an appointment for between 10AM and 1PM on the following day.

Called for repair of ice maker not working at all and dryer taking too long to dry. Technician arrived on time, was knowledgeable and personable. Found that the dryer vent was kinked, restricting air flow. He replaced the flex air tube at no charge and told me to keep the dryer away from the wall to avoid the kink. He told me the ice maker was a bit expensive but the new model had been redesigned to last and we should not have a problem with it for a long time.
Description of Work: Replaced ice maker. Fixed dryer.

Christmas Eve day, the refrigerator stopped cooling and party platters were on the way. I called Better Homes Appliance Service and pleaded my case. They said a tech would be here between 11am and 1 pm. bout 9:15am the tech called from Oldsmar saying he had a cancellation and was available. He was here in 15 minutes completely prepared and immediately diagnosed the problem as a malfunctioning defrost heater. He quoted the price for the repair and, upon go ahead, saved our party. The technician was "JIM", and conducted himself in a professional manner and very courteous. My Internet service was out so I could not print a coupon or ask for a senior discount. Considering the circumstances (Christmas Eve, almost immediate response), I considered the price quite reasonable and will not hesitate to call on them again, if needed.

Our front-loader washer stopped working. Not all firms will repair front-loaders, so I was happy that BHAS would be able to come the following day. I was only charged for the service call, which made me very happy as I was fearing the worst with this 10 year old washer. But, he managed to fish out a coin from the drain line and we were washing again very quickly.

When I scheduled the time for the part to be replaced, I was given a three hour window. The employee arrived on-time. I felt that the total $$ amount was high for a $50 part.
Description of Work: Clothes washer was leaking water inside while turned off. I called Better Homes for an estimate and the scheduled day they came early, but too early. A part needed to be ordered. The part was installed about 1 week later. Everything is working well. The employee was very courteous.

He arrived on time and diagnosed the problem I had with both the refrigerator & stove. Even though the appointment was late in the day, he stayed until the refrigerator was working again, working a couple of hours. Because he did not have the stove part on hand, he planned to return later to fix the stove and I asked if he would also install a water filter that I planned to purchase. The second visit went just as smoothly. Jim is fast, professional and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: Jim replaced the igniter in my gas stove, the heaters in the refrigerator, and installed a water filter for the refrigerator.

I called because they had a good rating and their $49.95 charge to come out was comparable to other similar companies. They came out on 10/19 and at that time I was told that the total cost would be $165.00, I found rather high since other companies I spoke with said that the part costs between $30-$40 & replacing would only take a few minutes, so I figured that the total cost would be a $49.95 service call + $40 for the part totaling $89.95, with $100 being on the high end. Needless to say I felt "trapped" since I would be out the $49.95 if I didn't have the work done. Late that afternoon we called, expressed our concern and Patty said that she would have Lynn, the office Mgr. call us on Monday 10/22. Later on 10/22 I called again and was told Lynn was in meetings and she would call us the next day. On 10/24 am I spoke with Patty a third time. Lynn called at 11:30 and said she would call the next day to review my concerns because she didn t have time. As of 10/28 no call from Lynn.

Response from Better Homes Appliance Service Inc
THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING REPORT, I LEFT A MESSAGE FOR THIS FAMILY TO CALL ME ON 10/24 TO DISCUSS THIS AND HOW WE COULD MAKE THINGS RIGHT. I ALSO SAID IN MY MESSAGE THAT WE WOULD NOT CASH THEIR CHECK AND THEY COULD SEND IN WHAT EVER THEY THOUGHT WAS FAIR. IT IS DEC 18TH AND WE HAVE STILL NOT CASHED THE CHECK AS WE SAID WE WOULD NOT, AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM. SO - THEY HAVE NOT PAID A DIME AND THIS REPORT IS VERY UNFAIR. THEY WERE GIVEN THE PRICE OF THE JOB UP FRONT AND OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO BUSINESS EXPERIENCE AS TO WHAT IT TAKES TO RUN A PROFESSIONAL, QUALITY BUSINESS. I HAVE THE CHECK IF ANGIE'S LIST CONSUMERS OR THE STAFF AT ANGIE'S LIST WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT. I APOLOGIZE IF I SOUND ANGRY, BUT TO ALLOW THIS TYPE OF COMMENT WHEN THEY HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN CHARGED FOR THE WORK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. LYNN THOMPSON

This was a great experience that put my mind to rest. I was originally nervous that a new compressor or a major overhaul was needed. I will use Better Homes for all appliance services.
Description of Work: Best of the Best for Service, Honesty and Integrity. My refrigerator was intermittently making strange noises. The fabulous technician, Jim, checked all components and found nothing. The sounds were totally gone while he inspected. As he was leaving, a light bulb went off and he checked the interior of the freezer wall. Sure enough, when he touched that, the sound started. He touched it again and it was gone. It was nothing but the fan causing a rattle. The food against the wall must have originally triggered the sounds. My problem was solved, and I was assured my unit would be functioning well. I was only charged for the service call.

They came out earlier this month to install the ice maker. I called them on Sunday evening, because there was water leaking out at the bottom of the fridge. They came out very promptly, and said that there had been a power surge, causing the failure. He replaced several parts, and it is working now. They even gave me a discount since they'd come out so recently for the ice maker service!

Apparently this had to do with the ice maker, something had ruptured. They were out right away and were very prompt. The cost was not outrageous, they got everything working again before any of the food was damaged.

Work went flawlessly. While washer was open, technician pointed out other areas to watch for and how to fix it myself. Excellent job.
Description of Work: Roper washing machine stopped operating in the middle of a cycle. After checking the obvious, called company. Technician showed up slightly BEFORE appointment time (10 minutes). Technician knew exactly what the problem was and replaced the safety interlock switches harness from parts on-board his truck. Total time for repair was less then 10 minutes.

When I first had the problem, on a Friday afternoon at 3:30, I called Better Homes Appliance and they set up an appointment for first thing Monday morning. Over the weekend, the stove started working again. I forgot to cancel the call. When they arrived promptly at the scheduled time, there was nothing to be done. Since there was no work done but I did take their time, I immediately offered to pay a service call fee. They let me know they would honor the fee for thirty days. Of course, the stove broke again the next week, and they came back out to quickly asses the problem, this time, at no charge. Very professional, very personal.
Description of Work: My Maytag gas range control panel began randomly beeping at me as well as intermittently not working. Bob surveyed the situation and let me know about what the part and replacement would cost. I decided to wait a few weeks since the stove and range still work most of the time.

I called Better Homes and told them that I had to have the oven working before the Thanksgiving Day week as I was having dinner at my home and had a lot of cooking and baking to do. Not only did they come out the day I called, but they rushed the part from Jacksonville and came out three days later to repair my oven. They really are customer service oriented and are wonderful to work with. I will continue to use them in the future and highly recommend them.
