Description of Work: We recently had an energy audit, and it was suggested that we could save some energy costs by cleaning our dryer vent and shortening our dryer hose. I called Champion Appliance to get an estimate. They responded promptly. Jeff looked at the dryer, the vent system and made suggestions about cleaning. His thoroughness discovered a problem with the gas line to the dryer. Jeff walked me through each thing he discovered and offered a variety of possible solutions. The work done by Champion Appliance was superb. We live in an older house and fixing anything requires patience, experience and the ability to deal with the unexpected. Jeff and his crew have those qualities. When the dryer was pulled out, Jeff discovered that the gas line was not secured to the wall along and behind the dryer. Also that the original venting system was no longer up to code. Jeff and his crew cleaned the dryer, then put in the new venting system, including making a new fitting for the exhaust pipe. They secured the gas line to the wall. They even washed the window above the dryer, inside and out! The whole Champion team was easy to work with. They answered all my questions Everyone was polite, and Naomi, who took my numerous calls, was positive and fun to talk to, even when I re-scheduled an appointment. Jeff's creativity in creating the new venting system really impressed us. I have used Champion Appliance before and I certainly will again.

Description of Work: There was a catch that the money would go toward service but not the initial call. So I had to call and get my money back from Angie's list, but they charged me for the service call even though they did nothing but tell me my machine didn't work and would be expensive to fix. More importantly, the main guy spent the whole time talking about how Angie's list didn't work for them, was a rip off to THEM and they needed to cancel their agreement with you/Angie's List. And they did this on my time in my living room while I had to try to get through Angie's list on the phone and get the money I had paid for this returned. I know it is my fault that I didn't read the fine print, but I thought the way they handled it was just awful. I would never use them or any of their services again for any reason, and I hope that others don't either. So unprofessional.

Response from Champion Appliance Care
Hi [Member Name Removed], Your review is a little confusing. As the only winner of the Angie's List Super Service award in Dane County, we don't use "catches" or gimmicks as you state in your review. Our current fee for the initial service call is 84.00. We quote that on every phone call. The 125.00 package you purchased was able to be put toward the first 125.00 of work, including the 84.00. Your comments that we would send a technician to your home for free and that the 125.00 would only apply toward repair work is quite surprising given the initial phone conversation we had when you scheduled the job. As far as your comment that we "trashed Angie's List": I would say insanity would be the work describe that behavior given our positive relationship with numerous members. We don't "bite the hand that feeds us." We're perfectly sane. Jeff

Description of Work: The technician did an exceptional job in determining the issue with our ice maker. He came back three times trying different solutions in an attempt to fix it and keep costs down. He followed up and completed the work after obtaining deficient part replacement. Would highly recommend!

Description of Work: Because of their excellent rating I decided to call them expecting a wait for a house call if they could come. I left a message about my washer problem before official hours as instructed by their machine. They never called me back. This is not a good sign.

Response from Champion Appliance Care
Hi [Member Name Removed], Thank you for your review. In doing our monthly audit of Angie's list reviews I noticed your comments and did some research. If you press 0 prior to the completion of our opening greeting (where you are told to press 1 to schedule service) you are sent to extension 0. We found that the 0 extension which we do not use as a standard operator extension as other companies might, was sending voice messages to an email account that we seldom check. THANK YOU for exposing a flaw in our system. Fortunately you and one other person were the only ones that this happened to in the last few months, leading us to believe the glitch occurred when we upgraded our system on November 3rd. We're sorry for the inconvenience. We have corrected the problem.

Description of Work: Jeff was able to call me on a Sunday, late am to see if he could help with my washing machine which was out of commission. After explaining in detail what the issues were with the washer, Jeff was able to determine that the machine could possibly be fixed for $400-$600. He recommended, and I agreed the best solution would be for me to buy a new washer. I was so grateful to have Jeff call--on a Sunday!!--and walk me through what was going on with the washer. I was impressed he didn't try to push a repair solution; he was forthright and told me this wasn't something I should consider having fixed. Nice guy-very professional. If I do have any other appliance repair needs in the future, this is the company I will call back. Thanks again, Jeff!

Description of Work: Replaced a refrigerator fan unit with panel deemed defective. Repairman mentioned that the part had failed significantly in other units by the same manufacturer and was familiar with the repair and the part. Of course no one wants to spend $270 on a repair for a four year old fridge, and that part should have generated a recall by the manufacturer, but the repair went fine and the unit is working great. Thanks.

Description of Work: Had issue with burning rubber smell coming from our washer. When technician visited, the smell was gone, but he did a thorough review to try and find the issue. After checking that everything looked good, he provided some options if the issue presented in the future. While we didn't need any service at this time, I felt the technician was very professional and knowledgeable.

Description of Work: When I called they were great about telling me what the problem might be and what the cost might be. Aaron showed up on time with the needed parts. The cost was a little less because it was switch and not a pump. Honest and dependable. Everything you would want for appliance repair.
