I had two problems with my refrigerator/freezer. I had water leaking from a small hole in the plastic tubing going into my freezer to make ice and water leaking from somewhere under my refrigerator/freezer. I called Home Systems Appliance Repair and talked to Jim Charles, the owner, to schedule an appointment to repair it. He said he could be at my house in 45 minutes! And he was. Prior to entering the house he put on shoe covers to protect our floors. He quickly found and fixed problem inside the freezer (plugged defrost drain) and replaced the leaking plastic water tubing with a braided stainless steel piping. When he finished, he cleaned up the area where he worked. And, all this was done in about 30 minutes at a very reasonable price. Plus, he gave me a military discount on the total price. I would recommend Home Systems Appliance Repair to anyone.

Jim diagnosed the problem efficiently and isolated the problem part. After a frank discussion of the risks involved in the repair, he left to price the part. He phoned within hours with a quote. He had already ordered the part so he could return the next afternoon if desired. He was clear that I was under no obligation. He just wanted to be prepared. I told him I would call when I made a decision and ultimately decided not to repair. Jim was very open and patient throughout the process.
Description of Work: Jim came to diagnose my refrigerator not cooling. I first called Jim for pricing. He was clear and open about his price structure. I decided to purchase an Angie's List deal to control the cost.

it is very disappointed . they are not specialized in refrigerator repair. they are not authorized on refrigerator repair. they are not able to replace the compressor which they suspected failure I had to call KichenAid for an authorized technician to check it out again. I have to pay the diagnosis fee again. what is the point? i don't understand why Angie's List recommended this company (Home Systems Appliance Repair) for repairing my refrigerator. I would like to get my money back to pay an authorized, qualified refrigerator repair service!!!!!

Response from Home Systems Appliance Repair
Dear Angie's List Member, Thank you for taking the time to write a review outlining your service experience with my company. I also thank you for pre-purchasing the $ 99.00 appliance repair deal. This pre-purchased product is largely based on my company's reputation in this service market and is something I do not take for granted. We were able to determine that your built-in 48 inch commercial grade refrigerator had a problem that was covered under warranty through the manufacturer. I understand your frustration level and have issued a refund of your purchase. If you have any additional questions regarding this please do not hesitate to contact me. Best, James Charles Owner Home Systems Appliance Repair Mobile 443-865-0419

Very pleased. Jim arrived when he said he would, was polite and professional, kept the area clean while he was doing his work, and most importantly got the job done (i.e., fixed my oven). Would definitely call again. In fact, he had recently fixed my boyfriend's dryer, so we've had two very positive interactions with him.
Description of Work: I had a gas oven that was no longer igniting. He came out, diagnosed the problem, replaced the part, and cleaned it out while he had everything taken apart.

At first it was going smooth until working with another company who sold the parts. The parts were held up for several days for reasons still unknown and Jim had to call several times for updates. We were patient and Jim was forthcoming with the information and kept us in the loop. In the end the issue was fixed in a week.
Description of Work: The provider came to fix my refrigerator that had recently stopped working. Jim came to the house the same day to a**** the issue. We determined parts had to be ordered and he placed the order.

I scheduled service for a Sunday between 2 and 3. At about 2:30 I received a call saying he'd arrive in about 30 minutes. He did. Once he arrived, I shared the issues I was having with my oven. He took about 15 minutes to check the oven and diagnose the problem. He explained that it needed a part which he had on his truck and would cost me $55 dollars. He installed the part in about 20 minutes, cleaned up after himself and when he left I once again had a working oven! Oh, and he wore booties while inside the house. Great work! I highly recommend!

We would use him again without question. It's great to find such an honest and prompt repair person. He even wore booties in the house so that he wouldn't track anything in.
Description of Work: He diagnosed the problem with our dishwasher, explained what it would take to fix it and gave us an estimate for parts and additional labor. He was honest, clear, fair, prompt, and thorough.

RESPONSIVENESS: Good at first but when he couldn't resolve problem he failed to respond to my 2nd email asking him to come back out, for the 2nd time as stated in contract, and check and see if drain tubes were frozen. PUNCTUALITY: Satisfactory PROFESSIONALISM: When you can't make a repair and you don't know what the problem is I don't think you should be charged. As stated he came to my home, took a temp reading in the fridge and in the freeze, visually scanned freezer dooe gasket and said everything was OK and he had no idea what problem was, said he didn't encounter this in 27 years experience. Said he would do some research and get back to me, which he did. When he called back he had no solution and 2 possible fixes, one of which he would not do. Neither possible solution was guaranteed to fix my problem and they would cost as much as I paid for the fridge. Needless to say I declined these possible fixes. It was after this took place that I emailed him again and asked him to come back out the 2nd time and check my drain tube. He failed to respond to me and I haven't heard from him again. An interesting sidenote to this experience was that I did some research and contacted another personal friend who also does this type of work and he provided me with a $4 fix with one phone call. I would be happy to discuss my experience with Home Systems Appliance Repair in more detail with anyone.
Description of Work: OVERALL: Rating of D because no repair work was done and my problem was not resolved. PRICE: $99 is too much to take a temp reading in the fridge and freezer, visually check freezer door gasket and to be told he had no idea what caused my problem. Told me he never experienced this in 27 years.

Response from Home Systems Appliance Repair
Dear Angie's List Member, Thank you for taking the time to write a review outlining your experience with my company. Also, thank you for purchasing the $ 99.00 Appliance Repair Deal through Angie's List. You pre-paid for this sevice based on my company's reputation in the industry and this is something I feel is extraordinary and do not take for granted. I am sorry for the poor service you received from my company. While I never received your second email requesting service, I believe that you did send it and were obviously frustrated with the condition of your refrigerator. I am sending a full refund of your purchase today, 07/29/2015. Feel free to contact me to discuss this matter anytime. Best, James Charles Owner Home Systems Appliance Repair Mobile 443-865-0419

We chose to buy a deal from the company provided through Angie's List, so we were charged $99 for all labor and about 3 hours of work, including an hour for him to get the part. The part cost $120, which I hope was a fair price, but I was pleased with the outcome, anyway. Very professional.

He was very thorough in diagnosing the possible needs of the non-functioning dual fuel range/oven that we have. He took down the model number and all the information I could provide. When he arrived the first time he determined after inspection the part that was needed to fix it. He then ordered it from the manufacturer, and as soon as it came in, he installed it. Very professional and friendly. I highly recommend!
