See above. I've written their number down as my "go to" when I have any appliance issues.
Description of Work: I called yesterday to schedule an appointment. The man who answered the phone, after I had described the problem of a dime having fallen into our garbage disposal and gotten VERY wedged, told me what I might try to be able to fix it myself. I REALLY appreciated that honesty in trying to help me solve the problem without a charge. I was unable to do it and did schedule an appointment for today at 10:30. My husband and I were at another appointment and got home just at 10:30 and Greg was there-- more than prompt. He did (with his expertise) what had been described as the way to extract the coin and had it back in running order in a very short time. Greg was great.

After problems with scheduling the appointment (long wait for call back), they completely missed the first scheduled appointment. We got a call back with profuse apologies and they came the next day. The "repairs" in the dishwasher took a few hours and the look at the wine refrigerator took an extra 15 minutes for him to conclude he didn't have the part and needed to order it. After he left, we tested the dishwasher and it still didn't work. I called to talk with him about it and was asked a number of questions about error codes that were supposed to be visible on the machine but weren't. We left the call with the idea that he'd come back to re-do the repairs when the part he ordered came in. That was five months ago and no contact since then. At least they never sent a bill! Tough to recommend them based on this encounter.

Response from Appliance Rescue Service
We have been made aware of this review by another customer, We feel that you may be mixing up whomever you selected for your service, this is not how we work, and you claim that we never charged you anything, so we assume you do not have an invoice from Appliance Rescue Service? We don't know what else to say except every other customer on Angie's List has given very different accounts of their dealings with our company. Since there was no financial transaction, we can only say we're sorry if you've had a bad experience with ARS, but this does not in any way resemble how we have dealt with the public going back decades in the greater Milwaukee area. Thanks, Gregory Angeli Owner, ARS of WI, LLC

The person who did the repair was Dean Urbanowski of Lake Country Home Services 262-367-7150. He was on time, professional, and had the necessary replacement parts including a fuse and a switch. The time it took was about 45 minutes total. His base cost for the visit was about $60 and the base cost for the original company was about $20 more.
Description of Work: I needed a microwave oven repair. I expected this provider to do the repair but apparently he was too busy and sent someone else instead. Up to that point, everything was handled very professionally so I was a bit surprised that he would not call me first to confirm that sending someone else was fine with me. I'm sure he would not have recommended someone unless he felt confident that they would perform well so I'm sure I would have agreed.

This review is very late, but we figure better late than never, because the service we received was fantastic. We've just been pretty busy and haven't gotten around to writing the review that this company so richly deserves. We had a major electrical problem with our stove top on our double oven Jennair. The stove had been an expensive purchase, only about 6 years old, so we wanted to repair it if possible. Unfortunately, some of the burner wiring basically had a "melt-down" and because of the stove design, Greg was going to have to replace all of the burner apparatus, which was both costly and would have had to be back-ordered (forcing us to wait an undeterminable amount of time for parts). Luckily for us, Greg came up with a creative and much less expensive fix for our problem, which was terrific. We appreciate that he really went the extra mile for us, and came up with a solution that saved us both time and money, and allowed us to have the use our double ovens in time for the holidays. The stove has been working perfectly since November, and we couldn't be happier with the results!

It was a super expeience. I emailed their site and had a response within 2 hours. Emailed the stove and serial number. The owner was here the next day with the element but then discovered the circuit board was out. Gave me an estimate right then of how much more it would cost. He showed me the part and I could see for myself what he was describing. After giving the go ahead he was on the phone to check if the warehouse had the part in. He left to go get it and returned within the hour to complete the repair. I would call them in a second if I needed another repair for any appliance.

Thank you VERY MUCH for taking the time to share your experience. It would have been nice if all that was needed to fix your oven was the bake element, but sometimes when they short out as bad as yours did, it damages the computerized controller, as you could see by the badly burnt areas on the control. The repair would have been closer to $100 if not for the blown out control board. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with other Angie's List members.

Quick & easy repair. The poor guy was so allergic to our cat that he was sneezing, wheezing and sniffling pretty badly by the time he left. If he weren't allergic, I'd have no problem using him again.

Response from Appliance Rescue Service
Thank you for posting your review. I'm sorry to hear that you won't hire us again simply because I was a little wheezy from an allergy. I was born that way, I can't really help it. It didn't keep me from doing my job properly, which was to repair your dryer. Over the last 34 years I have probably been in over 20,000 homes where they had a cat or multiple cats and it hasn't kept me from getting the work done. Hopefully other Angie's List members are not going to hold this against me now. I like cats. I just am allergic to them and as I said, I was born that way. Not really much I can do about it. I hope whomever you hire in the future is honest, hardworking and cares about customers as much as I do. I'd hate to see you get someone who does not sneeze around your cat, but overcharges you and isn't as trustworthy. When customers make comments, I try very hard to learn from them and improve. However I am not sure what I can do about this. Many times I don't sneeze or sniffle around cats anyway. Oh well. If we lose business because of this review there isn't a whole lot we can do. Thanks for your business and have a nice day. Ahhhhh ahhhhh ACHOOO!! :)

Service is always excellent - I have used Appliance Rescue for the past 15+ years, got their name through my kid's playgroup. Greg is trustworthy, honest, clean and ever so conscientious. This trip I called and told them about my leaking washer...because of Greg I use a pan under my washer - that is awesome for this problem - otherwise my entire laundry room would flood. I have had this problem with this washer in the past, because of coins sneaking into pockets of family members - and not being diligent about checking them - the coins filter into the pump and crack the housing. This trip he found a gnarled up penny... my bad.

Customer, We so greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with Angie's List members. Loyal customers such as yourself are the backbone of our business and we can't thank you enough for your business. Just remember to check the pockets for coins and objects in the future so we don't have to replace another cracked pump! Happy Holidays from Appliance Rescue Service!

It went extremely well; in fact I was surprised at how pleasant and informative Greg was, having read another review which was not flattering in the least. He came when he said he would; he did the job he promised, and his charges were extremely reasonable. he was very professional, even telling me that I didn't want to replace this stove, as it is much better than the new ones on the market. I will definitely call him when anything else goes on the blink (fingers crossed).
Description of Work: I initially contacted the company via the Internet to get their opinion on my 1964 stove, but they promptly replied the next a.m. (which was unexpected since it was a Saturday) saying that they would have to come out to get a better idea of the problem. When I called for an appointment, the person I talked with explained what the service charge was, and that it was non refundable regardless of the outcome of the visit. Greg came on Wednesday, at the time he said that he would. It didn't take long for him to determine that the baking element had gone out (big surprise), but he was confident that he could get one to replace it . Although he didn't hold out much hope for finding an exact replacement, he took the serial number anyway and said that he couldn't have it that day as it was already the afternoon. The next day, Greg called saying that he had a replacement. We made the appointment for Friday, between noon and two. He called and came when he said, put in the replacement and charged a reasonable amount, including the $10.00 discount for Angie's List Members. Considering the age of the stove, I was very pleasantly surprised that he could fix it, at a much lower price than the price of a new, smaller stove would have cost!!

I called for an appointment to repair my dryer this week. I submitted my appointment request online late at night and I received a response early the next morning. Great response time! They were unable to accomodate my schedule request due to other appointments, instead they refered me to another Angie's List contractor in my area to see if they could accommodate my desired schedule date. I was SO impressed that Appliance Rescue would think of the customer first. In fact, I shared this positive experience with several co-workers. That is what I call an ethical company! Thank you and I hope that this review will help your business in the future.

Because I was sick on the original appointment day, Greg graciously re-scheduled for the next day, and arrived when he said he would. He diagnosed the problem and had the replacement part shortly thereafter. Installation went quickly, and I had my oven back. He performed several tests to make sure it was working properly before leaving my home. No mess, no fuss. Extremely professional and good natured. I'd recommend Greg to everyone.

3rd time using Aplpliance Rescue and they have been very good every time. This time a garbage disposal died. They took the time to try and help my diagnose issues over the phone and when it became apparent that replacement was needed suggested that I could do it myself instead of incurring their labor costs. Even though it sounded simple I decided to have Appliance Rescue quickly and efficiently take care of the work for me. Thanks!

Called to schedule an appointment, after describing my problem to the lady on the phone she said she would have Greg call me to see if they could work on my dishwasher since I had already done some maintenance to it my self though she didn't think they would work on it but that would be Greg's decision. He never called! I will call someone else who wants my money.

Our dishwasher wouldn't drain, and we were concerned that we needed a new pump. Appliance Rescue Service indeed came to the rescue! Rather than telling us to get a new pump, the technician opened it up and found a small piece of broken glass inside -- just enough to jam the pump. We're grateful for his hard work and honesty!

Response from Appliance Rescue Service
Thank you for posting your review member. We're sorry that you feel it was too expensive, but we charged you the "knock on the door" charge and nothing more. We haven't raised the price of our basic service call in several years, and we tell every customer beforehand what the cost of that service call is, plus you were given an additional $10.00 off as an Angie's List customer so you paid less than what other customers pay for the same service. In most cases, we have no way of knowing before we examine an appliance if it's worth fixing or not (unless a customer calls us to ask about a specific repair they know they need, and then we can say if it's worth it or not over the phone and not charge anything) It may seem to you like we "didn't do anything" but we came to your home promptly and made a determination that washer wasn't worth repairing. We gave you an honest answer and felt it would be better for you to replace the machine. We charged you the cost of a trip charge and also gave you an additional discount off that service call. We did the best that we could for you and we'll just chalk it up to "You can't please everybody" and leave it at that. Thank you for your business and best of luck to you.
