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 Insignia before we arrive: Insignia appliances are mostly compact refrigerators, beverage coolers and chest or upright freezers; and Insignia is Best Buy's store brand, produced by different contract factories, so only the model number tells us what's inside.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
Insignia: platform and parts
Insignia designs and makes its own appliances, so the parts and service methods belong to Insignia alone, and parts for Insignia 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 Insignia worth fixing?
Insignia keeps its designs plain and affordable, which works in your favor at repair time: with so few electronics, most Insignia 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 Insignia 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 Insignia 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 Insignia 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
Freeze-thaw winters in Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills are hard on water lines that run through unheated spaces: an ice-maker line on an outside wall, a washer's supply in a cold garage, a dishwasher line in a crawl space. When they freeze, the appliance simply stops filling; when they thaw, a split line can leak.
If an ice maker or washer stops getting water on a very cold day, check for a frozen line before assuming a failed valve. Once it thaws, look along the line for drips.
Gas ranges, dryers and safety
A gas oven whose igniter glows but never lights, a burner that clicks without catching, a gas dryer that tumbles but stays cold: these are among the most common repairs we make, and usually come down to an igniter, a valve coil or a sensor.
Anything on the supply side of the appliance, such as the piping or the shutoff valve, is work for a gas fitter, and we'll tell you if we find a problem there.

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.
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 Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills 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 Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills, and we try to schedule around your service hours.
Partly. Beechview, Banksville, Brookline and Overbrook are City of Pittsburgh neighborhoods. Dormont, Brentwood, Baldwin, Whitehall and Castle Shannon are separate boroughs, each with its own government. Either way, all 4 ZIP codes here are on our service map.
Our first choice is the Insignia 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. Insignia makes its own platform, so its parts come from Insignia 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.
