Qualities to Seek in a Professional Appliance Specialist

At some point, a homeowner may be looking to install or repair one or more appliances in their home. When that is the case, unless they’ve had extensive experience with appliances, hiring a professional to install or repair home appliances can have a long-reaching positive impact. 

Today we’re going to review some traits of a professional appliance installation and repair company. 

“Who ya gonna call?”

Expertise

Having an expert appliance specialist is especially welcome if a homeowner has gas appliances, appliances that draw heavily on wiring, or appliances like a refrigerator, which has to be moved upright. An expert installer knows the delicate parts of each machine and how to treat them during the installation or repair process. Given the cost of the average appliance, most homeowners want them in peak condition once they’re installed.

Problem management

An expert knows when they need to remove your patio door to get the refrigerator into your kitchen. They know how to manage tight fits, gas line installations, dryer vent cutouts, and other details that will make installations and repairs successful. Once the appliance is installed, the expert can explain the details of the new device to the homeowner--a far cry from having to sit down with ten pages of instructions before knowing how to turn on the dishwasher. 

Tools

Professional tools set the expert apart, including tools for gas line installation, tools for moving heavy appliances, repairing specialty tools, and more. They also have the tools for problem management: remember the patio door that needed to be removed to install the refrigerator? The expert won’t ruin the door in the process. 

Try them in a non-urgent setting

One of the best ways to develop a relationship with an appliance specialist is to have them service your existing appliances.  Some of the options are to have the dryer vent professionally cleaned or to swap plastic appliance hoses for metal flex ones. Not only will it give the homeowner a chance to meet and get to know his professional appliance specialist, but it will also leave his home in better shape. He will have the peace of mind of knowing the old plastic hoses won’t burst and cause a flood. The newly cleaned dryer vent hose won’t be so clogged it will catch on fire. 

While it doesn’t seem that important when all of the appliances are working correctly, when the time comes that one of the machines needs repair, the homeowner has already developed a relationship with a specialist he knows he can trust to take care of the problem. A small investment in a repair can keep an appliance working for years, as well, thus saving the cost of the repair many times over.
