What do I do if my refrigerator needs to be repaired?

<div>If your refrigerator needs to be repaired, contact an appliance repair company to diagnose the issue and repair your refrigerator. It’s okay to leave it plugged in and running, but unplug it if it makes unusual noises.Signs that your refrigerator may need repairs include:<ul><li>Food items are not being held at the correct temperature (between 35 and 38 degrees Fahrenheit)</li><li>The fridge is using too much energy and seems to run all the time</li><li>Loud and/or unusual noises</li></ul>Possible causes include:<ul><li>A damaged door </li><li>Faulty condenser coil </li><li>Malfunctioning control board</li></ul>Contacting an appliance repair professional as soon as possible can help save items in your fridge from spoiling. Common fridge repairs include the compressor, control board, thermostat, defrost motor, coils, and ice maker.</div>

How much do HVAC companies typically charge?

<div>The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.</div>

Should HVAC technicians be certified or licensed?

<div>Yes, most states require <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/which-hvac-certifications-do-technicians-need.htm">HVAC technicians to be certified</a>, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: <ul><li>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</li><li>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</li><li>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</li><li>Paying to advertise their services</li><li>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi </li></ul>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</div>

It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays and emergency fees may apply if you need your appliance fixed immediately.</div>

I called and the woman that I talked to was very helpful in finding the pipe that we needed. They picked up the pipe after I ordered it and they came and installed it when it came in. They were very professional and cleaned up everything when they were done. They would not accept a tip.
