The service man was on time. He got right to work on the problem. He was here for about two and a half hours, and I might add, he earned his money in a nice way. I would hire this company again.

We were very pleased with the service we received from A Hometown Appliance Service. The repairman recommended against spending the money (over $230.00) to repair our washer because it was 20 years old and would just have more things break in the near future. He told us which brand of washer was good as far as not needing repairs and which ones to stay away from. I checked with Consumer Reports and found they agreed completely with what he had said. We would certainly recommend this company for appliance repairs.
Description of Work: We needed someone to fix our washing machine since it was making loud noises and smoking when we tried to use it.

Joe was able to come out within 24 hours of our call. He and his apprentice were prompt, calling as they were on their way, and were very polite. Both repairmen offered to leave their shoes at the door as well as cleaning up after themselves. Joe communicated with us throughout the process, explaining what he was finding and educating us. He had to return the following day to drill the hole outside as it was dark and we had an equally good experience the next day with Joe being prompt and calling as he was coming to our house. He as very pleasant and helpful. We have used him before and will use him again--would easily recommend him.
Description of Work: Our dryer was not drying clothes in its normal time. Joe found a broken heater and replaced it. We also wanted our dryer hose replaced, which was when Joe found that the tube had been crushed to just a couple of inches as it exited the house. Joe replaced the tube, but also had to drill a bigger hole to make sure the tube wouldn't be crushed and air could move more freely.

I was very happy with the service, and will use again.
Description of Work: My washer was not spinning the clothes dry and neither was my mother-in-law's. She lives a few blocks away so he looked at both. I had a calipso washer that I bought the first year they came out and I knew the company had had problems with them and no longer made them. I wasn't surprised when he said it wasn't worth fixing. The parts and labor charge would be a lot plus he couldn't guarantee it would keep on working. I also had him clean out my dryer as it was not drying like it should. We went to my mother-in-law's and he said it wasn't worth fixing as it was 28 years old. He told me to try Lowe's as they can give you same day service if you come in the morning. I did go there and they were able to deliver both the next day.

I called them the Monday after Christmas regarding an oven that was not heating efficiently. They offered to come out on Tuesday. I scheduled for Wednesday. Joe was on time, courteous, knowledgeable and quickly diagnosed the problem with the oven. He fully described the problem for us and the work that would need to be done. He ordered the oven part by phone and scheduled the repair for the following afternoon. We also asked him to look at the ice maker and he quickly diagnosed the problem as a clogged valve. Joe returned the next day and quickly made repairs to both appliances. He explained the warranties and we received the Angie's List Coupon 10% discount on parts. We will certainly call this company again for appliance repairs.
Description of Work: Replaced control panel on KitchenAid Superba double wall oven and water valve on Superba refrigerator ice maker.

REFRIGERATOR WAS FIXED WITHOUT A PROBLEM, BUT THE DRYER DID NOT WORK AFTER THEIR FIRST VISIT-- MAY NOT HAVE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM PROPERLY AND HAD TO RETURN MULTIPLE TIMES. GAVE ME A PARTIAL REFUND BECAUSE OF THIS.

The technician called me prior to his visit, trouble-shot the problem over the phone, and then ordered the part ahead of time saving me from taking off twice from work. He arrived promptly the next day, and repaired the problem quickly, for a reasonable price. I would absolutely recommend the services of A Hometown Appliance Repair.

Responded the next day when my regular serviceman wasn't able to come for 5 days. My electric stovetop kept blowing a circuit and we were expecting out of state company for Christmas. They determined the problem was a bad circuit breaker, which they are not authorized to fix, but they did pinpoint the problem and only charged the service fee. I would have them again if I need a service call.

This company was quick, on time, and cheaper than the store would have charged for delivery and installation. The installation team was polite and considerate in clean up. A good experience. Thanks!

He was on time, polite, and VERY reasonably priced (five years ago it cost us MUCH MORE for the same thing). Since we pretty much knew what we needed, and had the model/etc he brought the part with him to the first appt..no need for a second appt. Would call them again for ANY large appliance repair.
Description of Work: My oven/broiler suddenly stopped working. The igniter needed replaced (we needed this before). He replaced the igniter.

VERY PROMPT, HONEST, AND THOROUGH. SERVICEMAN NEEDS TO BRING HIS OWN TOOLS, DO HIS OWN CLEANUP. NOT A BIG DEAL IN MY MIND, I'M ALWAYS GLAD TO HELP. AND I DOUBT IF ''NO CLEAN UP'' IS THE COMPANY'S POLICY.
Description of Work: CHECKED WASHER FOR LEAKS, FOUND NONE. ADVISED OFF BALANCE LOAD RESPONSIBLE FOR SPILLAGE. DISCOVERED DRYER VENTS CLOGGED NEAR EXIT POINT. REMOVED CLOG, RE- INSTALLED VENTING REPLACED BUILT-IN MICROWAVE HANDLE. ONLY COMPLAINT WOULD BE SERVICE REP ''PUT ME TO WORK'' BY ASKING FOR A PARTICULAR SOCKET SIZE BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT TO ''CLIMB'' OUT FROM BEHIND MY WASHER/DRYER, AND DIDN'T CLEAN ANYTHING UP.

COMPANY WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND FRIENDLY IN SETTING UP THE APPT. THEY WERE EFFICIENT AND HELPFUL. I DECIDED NOT TO HAVE THE REPAIR TO THE TRANSMISSION, SO THEY SUGGESTED PLACES TO GET A USED WASHER AND BRANDS TO BUY FOR A NEW WASHER. I TRUSTED THEIR OPINION BECAUSE THEY WERE RESPECTFUL OF MY TIME.
Description of Work: WASHER WOULDN'T GO INTO AGITATION STAGE AND WAS MAKING NOISES; THEY CAME OUT TO INSPECT IT. THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A BROKEN TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID THEY WOULD DEDUCT THE $35 SERVICE CHARGE IF I WANTED TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED.

THE YOUNG MAN WAS COURTEOUS. HE STAYED A LONG TIME BECAUSE WE WATCHED THE DISHWASHER RUN THROUGH A COMPLETE CYCLE EXCEPT FOR THE TOTAL DRYING TIME. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK ABOUT THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL BUT AM HAPPY THAT I PLAYED AROUND WITH THE RESET BUTTON SOME MORE AND GOT IT TO WORK. IT IS AN OLD UNIT SO I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SURPRISED IF IT NEEDED REPLACED.
Description of Work: I CONTACTED THE SERVICE BECAUSE MY DISHWASHER AND GARBAGE DISPOSAL WERE NOT WORKING. THE YOUNG MAN THAT CAME STAYED WHILE WE RAN THE DISHWASHER THROUGH A WHOLE CYCLE. WE DISCOVERED THAT WATER RAN INTO THE MACHINE WITH THE INITIAL WASH CYCLE BUT NOT ON ANY SUBSEQUENT CYCLES. HE SAID THAT THE MALFUNCTION WAS PROBABLY IN THE CONTROL DEVICE AND REPLACEMENT OF THE PART WOULD COST MORE THAT $100. I DECIDED TO REPLACE THE MACHINE SO NO FURTHER WORK WAS DONE ON IT. HE ALSO CHECKED THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL WHICH WAS NOT WORKING AND GAVE ME A PRICE FOR REPLACEMENT OF IT THROUGH THEIR COMPANY. AFTER HE LEFT I ATTEMPTED TO RUN THE DISPOSAL AGAIN USING THE RESET BUTTON AND IT WORKED. SO I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL.

I CALLED ON A FRIDAY MORNING AND THOUGH THEY WERE FULLY SCHEDULED, THEY MANAGED TO WORK US IN THAT DAY. THE TECH WAS PERSONABLE AND QUICK TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. FURTHER, HE TOOK TIME TO LOOK AT AND DISCUSS THE PERIPHERAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH ADDING A WATER LINE AND/OR RELOCATING THE REFRIGERATOR. WHILE WE DIDN'T HAVE ''WORK DONE'' PER SE, WE GOT OUR MONEY'S WORTH IN INFORMATION TO HELP US MAKE A GOOD DECISION WITH THE PURCHASE OF A REPLACEMENT.
Description of Work: OUR FREEZER WASN'T STAYING COLD ENOUGH. I CALLED TO HAVE THEM SEE IF THE PROBLEM COULD BE FIXED OR IF WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SEVEN YEAR OLD REFRIGERATOR. THE TECH CAME OUT AND QUICKLY DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPRESSOR WAS DYING. HE RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE UNIT VS. REPAIRING IT, AND OFFERED SUGGESTIONS ON WHICH BRANDS WERE GOOD TO LOOK AT AND WHICH WE MIGHT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH DOWN THE ROAD.
