Across the Allegheny from Downtown, the North Side has some of the oldest housing stock in the city. In the Mexican War Streets and Allegheny West a kitchen may sit in a house built in the 1800s, and the basement where the laundry lives was dug long before anyone imagined a washing machine. Further up the hills, Perry, Observatory Hill and Brighton Heights are newer and roomier, but still mostly older detached houses with basements.
Two things worth knowing about Avanti before we arrive: an Avanti is cheap to replace, so repair often doesn't pay, and we'll tell you when that's the case; and the small compressor in a compact Avanti suffers more from a dusty condenser or a warm room than a full-size refrigerator's does.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
Avanti: platform and parts
Avanti designs and makes its own appliances, so the parts and service methods belong to Avanti alone, and parts for Avanti work around the North Side come through its own supply chain.
Send us the model number with your booking. Look for a sticker inside the door or lid, along the frame, behind the bottom kick plate or on the rear panel; with it we can look up that platform's known weak points and carry those parts instead of ordering after the first visit.
Is an Avanti worth fixing?
Avanti keeps its designs plain and affordable, which works in your favor at repair time: with so few electronics, most Avanti faults we come across around the North Side are a switch, pump, belt, valve or fuse, all quick to trace and modest to replace.
The downside is that a brand-new Avanti is also cheap, so only the smaller repairs make financial sense. If a big part has failed on an older one, we'll usually point you toward replacing it.
Where Avanti appliances sit on the North Side
Basement washers draining into laundry tubs or floor drains, gas dryers venting through old foundation walls, ranges and dryers on gas piping that has been added to over many decades, refrigerators in narrow kitchens with no room to breathe, and appliances in rental units split out of large old houses.
No matter the brand, an Avanti appliance on the North Side is only as good as the drain, circuit, vent and water line it's hooked to, and here the washer and dryer are usually in the basement, reached by stairs that are often steep and narrow in the older rowhouses.
Power outages and food
Summer storms and winter ice both bring down lines around the North Side, and some outages last a day or longer. Keep the refrigerator and freezer closed through it; federal food-safety guidance says food stays safe for around four hours in a shut refrigerator, about 48 hours in a full freezer and about 24 in a half-full one.
The spike when service returns is what tends to hurt electronic controls. If something won't start or flashes a code afterwards, cut its breaker for a minute and switch it back on. If that doesn't clear it, tell us about the outage when you book.
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.

Avanti in The North Side: Questions We Hear
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 the North Side 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 the North Side, 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 the North Side 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.
Our first choice is the Avanti part that matches your model number. If that part has been discontinued, an equivalent may exist, and we'll tell you it's an equivalent before it goes in. Avanti makes its own platform, so its parts come from Avanti itself.
That comes down to the part and the age. Pumps, valves, switches, elements, belts and fan motors are nearly always worth replacing. A dead control board or a sealed-system failure on an older machine is a harder call, and if a new one makes more sense we'll say so plainly.
