Working around Allegheny County
Our coverage in Allegheny County runs to 12 service areas and 41 ZIP codes: the city's rowhouse neighborhoods, the river boroughs, the North Hills and South Hills, and the eastern suburbs. We fix household appliances and commercial kitchen equipment, and every job begins with a diagnosis in your home and a price you agree to before we start.
Allegheny County is made of rivers and hills. The Allegheny and the Monongahela meet at the Point to form the Ohio, and the city grew up the slopes on every side of them. Inside the City of Pittsburgh, neighborhoods like Lawrenceville, the South Side and the North Side are rows of brick houses built for workers in the mills and rail yards, while Shadyside, Squirrel Hill and Point Breeze have big Victorians and foursquares. Beyond the city line, boroughs such as Dormont, Bellevue, Wilkinsburg and Millvale grew along streetcar and rail lines, and townships like Mt. Lebanon, Ross, Penn Hills and Upper St. Clair spread into ranches, split-levels and colonials.
A few things hold across all of it. Winters are cold, with freeze and thaw, and summers are humid. Much of the housing is old, and in most of it the washer and dryer are in the basement. And the county is divided into 130 municipalities, so a Pittsburgh mailing address doesn't always mean the City of Pittsburgh.

Rowhouses, Victorians, suburbs and everything between
A rowhouse on the South Side Slopes and a split-level in Plum share a county and not much else. In the city, we deal with steep basement stairs, old drains and gas lines, permit parking and landlords; in the streetcar suburbs, basement laundry and tuck-under garages; further out, cold attached garages, long dryer vents and finished lower levels; Downtown and in the Strip, building rules and compact apartment appliances.
So when you book, we'll ask where the appliance sits and what kind of house or building it's in. The answer changes what we load on the van and where we start looking.
Cold winters, damp basements
Winter is what sets appliance trouble here apart. Refrigerators and freezers in unheated garages and porches struggle when the space is colder than they were designed for, water lines on outside walls freeze, and dryer vents can ice up at the hood. Summer brings humidity and thunderstorms that knock out power.
Underneath it all is the basement. Many are damp for much of the year, and some near the creeks have flooded, so washers, dryers and freezers standing on the floor rust from below and need their connections kept dry.
Stacked and compact laundry
Heat-pump and condenser dryers, and combination washer-dryers, don't need a vent to the outside, but their screens, condensers and drain filters need cleaning much more often than owners expect. Most slow-drying complaints on these end with a cleaning rather than a part.
Your manual shows where the extra filter or the condenser sits. Rinse it every few weeks and drying times stay where they belong.
Dryer vents in older houses
Clothes that are warm but still damp after a full cycle almost always mean the dryer can't push its air out. In Allegheny County, the choke point is often a vent that runs across a basement ceiling and out through a stone or block foundation, a foil hose crushed behind the machine, or an outside flap stuck with lint or ice.
We check the airflow before touching the heating element or the thermal fuse. New parts fitted to a dryer that still can't breathe fail the same way.
Frozen lines and cold-weather leaks
Water damage from appliances usually starts at a hookup rather than inside the machine: a rubber washer hose that finally burst, a fridge line pinched when the refrigerator was shoved back, or a line that froze and split.
Braided stainless hoses, a shutoff valve you can reach without moving the appliance, and a drip pan under an upstairs washer are cheap and worth having. If water appears, turn off the supply and unplug the machine before anything else.
Where we go, in numbers
Questions People Ask
Quick answers to what people ask most. If yours isn't here, bring it up on the phone or type it into the notes box when you book.
Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
Not honestly. The same symptom can come from a small part or a major one, so the technician finds the cause at your Allegheny County address first and then gives you a price. Nothing is done until you agree, and if the repair isn't worth it, we'll tell you.
48 of them across Allegheny County, from everyday names like Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire and Maytag to built-in and pro-style makers such as Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Miele and Viking, plus commercial equipment from True, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc and others. The brands page lists them all.
Yes, and plenty of Allegheny County repairs work that way. The owner or manager approves by phone or email while whoever is home lets us in, and afterwards both get the same short account of what was wrong and what was done. If a building needs contractor paperwork first, send us its requirements when you book.
Give us the brand, the model number and a line about what's wrong, along with any code exactly as it shows. A photo of the rating label is better still; it's the surest way to bring the right parts to Allegheny County on the first trip.
Yes. If fixing it would eat up a big part of what a similar new appliance costs, and yours is close to the end of its expected life, we'll suggest replacing it, in Allegheny County or anywhere else. Built-ins are the usual exception, because a replacement brings cabinet work with it.
Yes. Alongside household appliances, we work on reach-in coolers and freezers, prep tables, ice machines and commercial ranges and ovens for businesses in Allegheny County, and we try to schedule around your service hours.
