The service was excellent. Within 30 minutes the problem with my refrigerator was diagnosed (the motor was not working) and fixed. The serviceman had a spare motor already in his truck. He had it installed in 15 minutes and even put all of the food neatly back in the fridge. In addition, I was able to use my credit card to pay for the transaction. The service was efficient, professional and helpful.
Description of Work: My refrigerator and freezer were not cooling/working.

Jay came on time, got straight to the problem after I explained exactly what was happening with the washer. He showed me an area where lint and water gets collected, which was blocked from years of lint build up. The washer was bought five years ago, and I was not told or shown this lint collection trap. Jay showed me how to access it and how often I should clean it out. I would definitely call this company again.
Description of Work: My GE washing machine would stop in between cycles, not wring out the clothes, leak water and/or stop. It would take many hours to wash a load of clothes and it wouldn't really be clean. I had several service people come out at different times, most of them changed the hose, but the problem would surface again.

After two days I never received any call back. Two days later, I called the company and finally received a call from the repairman the next day. He told me that the circuit boards were back ordered from Maytag and he would try to get one locally, but it may take until late March or early April to get a circuit board. I called a few local appliance repair shops, not from Angie?s list, and both had the correct circuit board in staock. Plus I found four distributors on the internet that had the circuit board in stock. I made an appointment with one of the non Angies list repair shops. The gentleman came over the next day, installed the new circuit board. The dryer works fine now. I called Boston and Cambridge Appliance repair to cancel my appointment because nobody ever contacted me. The dispatcher said that she did call me. I checked both my cell phone and my home phone and there were no messages left for me. Bottom & Boston Cambridge Appliance Repair should work on their communication issues. As someone stated in another review, they were prompt to respond on the first call but are lacking in follow up. If they have a dispatcher or an office person, it should not be that difficult to call customers back with a status. And If I can find a part on the internet, why can?t they.
Description of Work: I was not getting heat out of my clothes dryer. Repair person came and diagnosed the problem as a bad dryer control board The repair person said that he would order a new circuit board and get back to me.

Description of Work: I called about a gas oven that was growing very reluctant to turn on. They gave us a date only a couple of days away and the provider arrived within the 2-hour window they furnished. He quickly diagnosed a defunct igniter, went to the truck to get a new one and installed it.

I described this above two other A rated Servicer wanted 200 and 300 for the job respectively, Same Day Appliance Repair.200 Waltham Appliance wanted 300 for this repair. I had done business with Waltham for years but based on my experience no more. The repairman was knowledgeable and friendly. A pleasure to work with. The repair turned out to be very simple and would have taken me 5 minutes. However, I did not know how to do it and did not want to risk a repair. The cost in my view is expensive but I am paying for expertise and knowledge which I do not have while $109.00 is high for 5 minutes labor. That being said the cost of the competitors beats out the 100 hammers which the Defense Department used to buy, the assumptions about the public is that it is gullible and stupid. While I am generally satisfied with the Repair expertise of the other vendors. Their business models and ways they each work hard to loot their customers albeit legally is appauling.
Description of Work: Provider repaired a burner on my Stove by Fixing the igniter. He simply pulled out the electrode on two burners cleaned them out and replaced them. The problem was a loose or dirty connection.

We love Boston & Cambridge Appliance Repair. They have fixed almost every appliance in our house. They are responsive, prompt, professional, very knowledgeable, etc. And they only charge $60 for a service call (during the week...I think it is more on the weekend). So if they don't end up having to fix anything (if for example you need a plumber instead of an appliance repair person), it is only $60 for them to have come out. It is nice to have found such a great reliable company.

The repairman showed up on Saturday, knew exactly what the problem was and fixed it. He was courteous and respectful and on time. I have used Boston Appliance for the last 13 years for all of my major appliance repairs.
Description of Work: I have a coin-op washing machine in my basement of a 3 family house. I think it is the belt. The washer wasn't twisting and spinning to drain the clothes.

The service tech arrived when he said he would, quickly diagnosed the problem with my refrigerator and gave me honest advice that it couldn't be effectively repaired. He said there was a coolant leak and while he could charge 250 and top it off, the effects would be short lived and dissatisfying. He recommended purchasing a new refrigerator.

Kenny came over on time (within the 2- hour window we were given) on a Monday and quickly had the front panel of the washer open and diagnosed the problem within 5 minutes. Essentially, an internal part that tells the washer to stop filling had worn out (a not uncommon problem). As a result the washer would over fill and leak onto our floor. Kenny was very helpful, answering all of my questions, explaining why my best guess about the cause of the problem was wrong (I'm not mechanically inclined) and showing me exactly what was going wrong. He had to order the part and was very forthright, told me that the company was extremely busy, but that the part should arrive by Wednesday and suggested I call if we didn't get a call. We got a call letting us know the part had come in, and we scheduled service for Friday. Kenny even called us himself to make sure we'd called to set up an appointment since the part had come in. He arrived on Friday again, on time, and had the repair finished and washer tested within 20-30 minutes. He showed me that all of the fill levels worked with the new part installed, and told me that the tubing he thought he'd have to replace was actually in good shape and so he hadn't replaced it - thus saving me money (because it would have taken him longer to replace the tubing). While writing up the bill of sale, he gave us a discount hearing that we'd found them through Angie's List. The discount was less than 10 percent, but we didn't have a coupon and he did this simply out of appreciation for me mentioning the list. He was friendly, very ready to answer questions, was quick and efficient but also clearly cared that the machine was truly fixed. He even took a minute to show me where the water shutoff valves were for the washer as well as the main water supply. I would use this company again, primarily because they were prompt, efficient, professional, and took the time to explain things. The cost was very reasonable given that the part itself (a GE part, pricing not in the Boston Appliance's control) was half the total bill.
Description of Work: Diagnosed washing machine leak, ordered part, returned to install part and tested all fill levels, drain, spin, etc.

The repair man called to ask if he could arrive ahead of schedule. That was fine with me. He was careful in taking apart the stove. I decided to have him change the ignitor in the stove in a second apartment, so the cost was for fixing both. I was very satisfied with his work.
Description of Work: My tenant complained of a gas smell from the oven. I consulted a plumber. He told me the new stoves have ignitors, rather than pilot lights, and ignitors need to be changed every 5 to 10 years.

Very simple. Diagnostic was done within 30 minutes. I honestly did not double check the price quote vs. competitors. I was very happy with the work and the explanation. This is the second time that this company has serviced this dishwasher. Both times I was happy and would definitely recommend them.

Since he had to wait about 15-minutes to make sure the new switch was operating correctly, I asked him to look at a gasket replacement for another refrigerator in the same building. I had the new part, but had run into some problems trying to install it myself. After discussing the problem I decided to let Lee go ahead and install the part, and after seeing all that was involved I'm very glad I let him do it. Through out the whole experience (both repairs) Lee was informative, patient and respectful. It was everything you could wish for in such a situation.
Description of Work: My tenant's refrigerator lost its refrigeration over the weekend. I called first thing on Monday morning and the technician Lee arrived within the hour. He explained it was one of two things, a relay switch or the compressor. If it's the compressor, the refrigerator is shot and will have to be replaced. He installed a new relay switch and the compressor kicked back in and began chilling the refrigerator.

I do not have the exact dates or cost, however they occurred last year and the charges were less than expected. They were here 2 times, 2 different problems. 1st time service was same day as request. 2nd time was early the next day. I would use this company in a heartbeat. Polite, professional, very reasonable price, and excellent service.
Description of Work: The first problem involved a screeching dryer tumbler. Another company's estimate had required moving the entire stacked washer/dryer out w/2 servicemen, etc. at a cost considerable higher. This was done by one person w/the machine in place and cost a lot less. The second problem was a leaky washer hose which was quickly and easily repaired. No further problems w/either dryer or hose and these machines are easily more than 10 years old.

We woke up to find a lukewarm fridge. After perusing Angie's List for a highly rated and economical company, we decided on Boston and Cambridge Appliance Repair. Once we called to make an appointment, they were literally on their way to our house. Very quick turnaround! They were able to diagnose and remediate the problem quickly. They do have a service call charge, but their labor charges are relatively low.

Great- very helpful. I wished that would be a bit more aware of water and washer lint when cleaning it out, but recognized it too and responded positively once I expressed concern. The service and friendliness far outweighed this and it was easily addressed.
Description of Work: As a new homeowner I inherited an Asko dryer and washer. The dryer was making a racket. A father/son team repaired it and cleaned and checked both my washer and dryer so that I was ensured that all was in good working order going forward. They also reviewed the general maintenance of these and tips for keeping it in good shape which I much appreciated.

Kenny was the individual who came to address an issue I was having with my gas stove-top. He was able to arrive earlier than planned which was nice and in minutes (maybe seconds) he knew what the problem was (I was embarrassed because it was nothing broken but these little holes in the burners that needed cleaning and were probably clogged by the people who just moved out) and took care of it. Super friendly, seemed super knowledgable and professional. Would definitely recommend and use again.
Description of Work: I was having a problem in my new home - the burners for my gas stove wouldn't turn on unless I took a lighter to them (gas was getting to them but not lighting for some reason).
