Service was professional, prompt, and the pricing was very fair. Highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Both our washer and dryer stopped working within two weeks of each other. Bill's Appliance diagnosed the problem and made honest recommendations for each. The washer motor needed replacement and the dryer simply required a cleaning of the vent.

I called Bill's and was able to arrange for a technician to come by today. I called another, more highly rated company on Angie's List and their first availability was Friday or next week. Bill was able to keep me posted on what time slot to expect the technician so I didn't have to leave work too early. Melvin showed up right within the range and was able to quickly diagnose the problem. He was very neat and prompt when he had to leave and pick up a part. I expected this to be a more costly repair, but the part replacement and labor were very affordable. I will definitely use Bill's again!
Description of Work: In the past day, my French door refrigerator was not cooling, but the freezer drawer seemed to be fine.

First called GE because no one else called wanted to repair a self-cleaning wall oven. GE said that they would come out for $89.00 and could not guarantee that they could get the part. Found Bill on Angie's list and he came out for $45 did a thorough inspection, was sure of the problem and said could get the part in 2 days. He did just that and the repair came in at under $200 (cost of the part was higher than the labor). Bill was very accommodating and very customer service oriented. I was very pleased and will use him to repair any other appliance in my home that I might have a problem with.
Description of Work: Replaced a part in a GE self-cleaning wall oven which was over 20 years old. Gave an initial estimate and was back 2 days later with part.

Bill and staff were unable to fix the dishwasher; a possibility they had warned us about when we placed the service request. FP is not a brand they have a lot of experience with, but they came by twice to see what they could do, and eventually referred us to a couple other companies to contact for repair. We appreciated that they spent the time and effort but didn't bill us for it. We would recommend this company to others--the B grades are just because our needs and their capabilities didn't match up this time, and aren't meant to be a poor reflection of their service.

Bill came out on the day we set the appointment for, right on time, with a partner. He quickly looked at the washer and determined it was a bad lid control which needed to be replaced. He took the washer apart and installed the new lid control. It took him about an hour. He gave me advice about not overloading our stack washer in the future, for it tends to cause the lid control to fail, due to the heavy vibration when the washer is overfilled.
Description of Work: We called Bill out to repair our washing machine, which would not spin, during the spin cycle. The lid control, which initiates the washer to spin, had to be replaced.

Bill returned our call the same day that we made it. He and his assistant came out the next day and evaluated the situation. The $45.00 service call fee was excellent by today's standards. Bill had to order a part and got back to us that day with the estimate. He and his assistant came back a week later to install the new part. He also leveled out the oven, which was great. He and his assistant were very professional and personable and did a great job. I will definitely use Bill again - excellent experience.

He came to fix my dishwasher, collected his service charge and never got back to me on what was wrong or how much it was to fix. I'm not positive but my feeling was he wanted to collect the service charge, but never intended to fix my dishwasher.

Bill arrived when he said he would, quickly diagnosed the problem and explained everything to us. We authorized the replacement of the necessary part and the dryer was working again. Bill explained that he cleaned the duct work he could reach, however since our dryer exhaust vent is on the other side of the building exterior and 2 floors up, he could not check the duct since it required a large extension ladder. He thought we should check to be sure the duct was not clogged as this sometimes causes the heating element to overheat and stop working. We have now contracted with someone else to come and check and clean the duct. Overall, the service was excellent, friendly, reasonably priced and honest. We would definitely call Bill again for any appliance repair needed at our residence.
Description of Work: Our gas clothes dryer had no heat. I left a message for Bill on a Friday night and Bill called me right back and scheduled an appointment for the next day. He ended up replacing a part and cleaning the dryer vent that he was able to reach.

I called on a Saturday in-between Christmas and New Year's. He was happy to come out and do the work. He was on time, had all his own tools. Everything worked fine, he extended the life of my 16 year old dryer another 18 months. The dryer was still working fine, but I did eventually replace it. It was a great service at a great price.
Description of Work: It was a wonderful experience. I had a dryer that kept turning off, because it kept overheating. He came out, and could not find anything wrong. He vacuumed out a lot of lint, nearly 16 years of buildup. The dryer is in a high rise and it is self venting.

It took him a lot of time, but he didn't charge me extra because it was a difficult job. He did a wonderful job and had a fair price. He had to come out twice because he had to order parts. He was great!
Description of Work: He had to take my burner stove apart to fix it. He put in a new igniter and a new touchpad on the vent.

I was very impressed by the efficient, friendly, professional service evidenced by Bill and his helper. I phoned on a Wednesday and left a detailed message, got a call back that day and booked an appointment for that Saturday! Bill and his assistant arrived on time and ready to make repairs. They were in and out in less than 1 hour. I noticed some dust under the appliance and grabbed my handvac--Bill jumped right in and went the extra mile: He took a brush from his bag and got underneath to clean the whole area so there would be nothing blocking the ventilation!
Description of Work: The defrost switch was not functioning properly, causing the coils in the freezer to ice up and lower the temperature. Bill emptied the freezer and used his testing equipment to check several other areas in the unit, explaining to me what he was doing as he went. He found the problem, replaced the switch, put all the food back in and cleaned up after himself--and more(see below)!

Our dryer stopped heating. We chose Bill's because of the great reviews here. Our contractor working on our renovation project called and Bill responded immediately. Bill was able to come out and give an estimate within the same day and on time. He said the heating element needed to be replaced but he didn't have the part. Came back the next day and replaced it taking no time at all.

This is the second time we've had Bill in for a repair (previously it involved our dishwasher), the experience was great both times. He brought a helper this time. They checked the washer and diagnosed the problem as a clogged pump and cleaned it out. It's working well now, although he advised that if problems re-emerge, the pump might need a replacement. He is extremely professional, responsive and reasonably priced. Will definitely call him again if we have other repair needs.
