Although no service was performed on the stove, the service and professionalism provided by Jim was exceptional. He's a true professional and I would highly recommend him.
Description of Work: I had an old stove with a non-functioning oven. Jim came by, well within the time frame that was set, and took a look at the issue of the oven and recommended a new stove since the repair/labor would be quite expensive.

Great experience and was very happy.
Description of Work: My stackable dryer portion of washer/dryer unit quit working. - the washer was working fine. I had the person that installed it come and check things out and he could not figure it out and said i was getting power, etc. and i should call Sears. So knowing Sears would take forever to come out, i looked on Angie's list and found this company with excellent ratings. I called Friday and he came out Monday first thing. The second reason was that the $75.00 service call charge would be applied to the bill if i needed something. Jim was on time, which was refreshing, and wasted no time checking the dryer out - he took it apart and checked every single piece. When he could not find anything, he also checked the outlet and saw it was getting power but thought it was not getting 220V as it should be for the dryer. He said he was not an electrician, but i should have one come out and check the breaker box, etc. I was very relieved it was not the dryer, and felt bad he had to put it all back together again, but he did it very fast. (I did have someone come out and check the hookup and it was the connection in the basement after all). I would recommend Jim and his company highly.

The repair technician was very courteous and clean. We have used him on several occasions before including a Whirlpool Duet Washer circuit board repair that was out of warranty. I would definitely use him again as the need arises.
Description of Work: (I am not exactly sure of the service date). Our Kitchen Aid dishwasher was not pumping out the waste water. As it turned out, most of the repair was under warranty. The repair technician researched the warranty terms and was able to get the pump replaced by Kitchen Aid.

Description of Work: Very prompt and very professional. Could have repaired my dishwasher for $350 but agreed it would not be worthwhile when we can replace our 15 year old dishwasher for a few hundred dollars more.

Jim showed my husband step by step everything he was doing and what to do if this problem should occur again. Courtesy and customer satisfaction seems to be the motto of this company. I would recommend Home Systems to anyone.
Description of Work: The dishwasher would turn on and sound like it was doing something, but the dishes were not cleaned. I called for repair service on Friday afternoon and Jim came by the next day. He fixed the problem in less than an hour. Broken glass had gotten into the mechanism.

My recollection was that the serviceman came within 24 hours of our call both times. My wife dealt with the serviceman who was prompt, courteous and efficient. He made the repairs and explained they couldn't guarantee against other problems occurring. My recollection is that both repairs were guaranteed for 90 days. The second call occurred just after the 90 day period but wouldn't have been covered anyway. Because the repairs were done quickly and on short notice and because the serviceman was courteous and honest we would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: This company visited us twice for repairs to our 8 to 10 year old Kenmore gas dryer. The first visit occurred earlier in 2011 during which he replaced a fuse (?). This cost over $100. This second visit was for the thermostat (?) and cost around $150. Note: I may have the sequence wrong.

As reported above, I could not be more pleased with my experience! If I have problems in the future, I will call Home Systems Appliance Repair! (and Dryer Vent Wizard)
Description of Work: I have been remiss in not singing my praises sooner! My gas dryer had warmth, but the laundry would not dry. On the 10th of January I called Home Systems Appliance Repair, and on the 11th James arrived at my home very promptly, spent almost two hours working on the dryer and venting system, then announced that he was not satisfied with the dryer - it was not performing properly. Instead of charging me the $250 he had quoted for the repair, he only charged me for the service call and directed me to calll Dryer Vent Wizard to finish cleaning the area of the vent that he could not unclog. I very much appreciated his honesty and his hard work at attempting to solve my dryer problem. Without hesitation I will recommend him to anyone needing dryer repair! The same is true of Dryer Vent Wizard who quickly finished the job a day later and only charged for the service call. It is wonderful to deal with such fair and honest people!

Jim was outstanding. He was thorough and worked very neatly. I felt very confident that the $175 I paid to get the dryer repaired and cleaned was worth it. Much better than paying less and wondering or paying more just becasue he had a national brand behind him. UPDATE: Had Jim back to fix washer and icemaker in freezer. Was fully expecting an expensive part replacement. Insted, Jim correctly diagnosed problems fixed them with labor only. I would highly recommend Jim to diagnose and repair your appliances, especially if you are not handy and are at the mercy of whomever is going to fix your problem.
Description of Work: Diagnosed problem, gave me options, then fixed and cleaned inside of dryer. UPDATE: June 2012, fixed washer and icemaker in freezer

Called Jim's office on a Saturday expecting to be told go pound sand until Monday or later. Jim came to my house in 3 hours just like he said on the initial phone call. Jim diagnosed the problem quickly and gave me a price. We proceeded with the repair as Jim had the parts on the truck. Jim made the repair but it didn't fix the problem. Jim just charged me for a service call only since the repair did not fix the problem. Jim explained that what he fixed was the most logical solution, which was what I believed it to be before Jim showed up. He said the next most logical fix was to replace the motor that turns the drum. We discussed the pros and cons of making that repair given the age of the dryer. He said he would call with a price for a motor on Monday and then I could make a decision. I declined to have a motor installed and Jim was perfectly find with the decision. I was very impressed with his honesty and demeanor during the repair. Every repairman should be JIM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Description of Work: Jim replaced the belt on my gas dryer. Trying to eliminate the sqweaking sound.

We were experiencing the problem with our dishwasher as described above. We also were having issues with our clothes dryer making loud squeaking and scratching noises. I reviewed Angie's List and based upon the reviews called Home Systems Appliance Repair one afternoon. Within a couple of hours of leaving a voice mail message Jim Charles, the owner, returned my call. He was able to schedule an appointment at our earliest convenience -- he was willing to come the next day but that didn't work for us. He arrived on time, was very professional, and exceptionally courteous. Mr. Charles assessed the problem with the dishwasher, indicated that he would need to order the parts necessary to fix it, and we rescheduled his return to fix the machine ON A SATURDAY (at no extra cost). After looking at the clothes dryer, he advised us that it would be most cost effective for us to buy a new one as the repairs necessary for ours would be quite expensive and unwarranted for such a low-end machine. On the Saturday of his return, Mr. Charles called at the very beginning of the two hour window we had arranged for him to come fix the dishwasher to indicate that he was running a little late. Nonetheless, he arrived only a little after the scheduled time. Again, Mr. Charles was very professional and courteous. He replaced the spray arm in about 20 minutes, made sure it was operating properly, and cleaned up the area. He even left a complementary cleansing tablet for the dishwasher! We could not ask for a better repair experience and will definitely call Home Systems Appliance Repair for all our future appliance repair needs.
Description of Work: The third spray arm (top rack) of our 11-year-old GE dishwasher kept detaching during the wash cycle. Home Systems Appliance Repair replaced the arm and assembly.

I appreciate the honesty of the technician telling me that I should consider other options rather than having the refrigerator and dish washer repaired. My refrigerator is 7 years old and was in need of a compressor. I previously had a compressor put in a year and a half ago. I think his advise to consider other options was a good one. On the dishwasher a bearing was needed and the cost would exceed the price of a new one. Again, the dishwasher is 7 years old. Both products are Kenmore Elite and therefore will not be cnsidered for a new purchase.
Description of Work: No service was provided. Technician just gave me diagnosis of the problem. Charged $50.00 for service call.

I emailed several providers on Angie's List looking for someone to repair my dishwasher. James called me back the very next day and set up an appointment to come out on Saturday - very convenient for someone who works during the week. The best part was they didn't charge more for the weekend rates! He called before he arrived, and was on time within the window he promised. He did all the work within an hour and within the verbal estimate he gave me. Overall, he did a great job and I will certainly call him again for my appliance repairs in the future.
Description of Work: He cleaned my clogged airgap (something I now know can be done without needing a service call). He also re-leveled the front and back of the dishwasher (it was uneven for some reason) and secured some loose brackets.
