The South Hills grew along the streetcar and light-rail lines, and they still look it: street after street of brick and frame houses from the first half of the twentieth century, packed onto hills that rise and fall between Dormont, Beechview and Brookline. Further out, Brentwood, Whitehall and Baldwin loosen into postwar houses with a garage under the living room and a basement that holds the laundry.
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 Avanti concentrates on compact and second appliances: dorm and under-counter refrigerators, small laundry and beverage coolers.
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 Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills 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 Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills 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 in Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills
Basement washers and dryers, gas dryers venting through block foundations, second refrigerators and freezers in tuck-under garages that get very cold in winter, and kitchens where a modern range or microwave has been fitted to wiring from an earlier remodel.
No matter the brand, an Avanti appliance in Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills 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 in almost every house, often beside a tuck-under garage.
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.
Gas ranges, dryers and safety
Natural gas is common for ranges, dryers and water heaters in Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills, and older houses often have gas piping that has been extended and reconnected several times. A gas appliance that won't light usually has an igniter, a sensor or dirty burner ports at fault, not a gas problem.
With a strong gas smell, leave switches alone, get out of the house and call the gas utility from outdoors. We can look at the appliance once it's safe, and after any gas work, each fitting we opened gets leak-tested.

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 Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills on the first trip.
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.
