We test the part before we replace it
A fridge that won't cool can have a dirty coil, a dead evaporator fan, a frosted-over defrost system or a failing start relay. Swapping parts until one works costs you money, so we don't. Our tech asks how the trouble began, reads the model tag, then checks the likely parts with a meter, by running a cycle or by watching the flame. You see what failed, often with the reading on the meter, and you hear the price before work begins.
If you say yes, we fix it then and there when the part is on board, which is most of the time, because we stock the parts that fail most on common models. If the part needs ordering, we tell you roughly how long it takes and set the return visit before we leave. Every repair ends with a full test run, and you get a plain written record of the part, the model number and what we found.
Household, gas and commercial equipment on one list
Our days are mostly kitchens and laundry rooms: refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, ovens, ranges, cooktops, dishwashers, disposals, washers and dryers. This region adds its own mix on top. We work on propane and natural gas ranges, dryers and water heaters, set gas burners for the altitude, install LP conversion kits, and keep evaporative coolers running on roofs and in windows from first heat to fall shutdown.
We also install new appliances, from a dishwasher under the counter to a gas range on a fresh flex line, and we hook up ice maker water lines. On the commercial side, our techs repair restaurant reach-ins and walk-ins, ice machines, commercial cooking equipment and the washers and dryers in motels and laundromats. Brands run from Whirlpool, GE and Frigidaire to Samsung, LG, Bosch, Speed Queen and built-in Sub-Zero.
From our east Farmington shop to the Colorado line
Our shop is on East Mojave Street in Farmington, and our routes spread out from there. Every Farmington neighborhood is close, along with Aztec, Bloomfield, Kirtland and Flora Vista. Farther trips take us west to Shiprock and Newcomb, east toward Navajo Dam and south toward Nageezi. North of the state line we work in La Plata County, including Durango, Bayfield and Ignacio, and in Montezuma County, including Cortez, Mancos and Dolores.
Rural work is a big part of what we do, and it shapes how we plan. Homes far from a parts store need the right parts on the first trip, so before the trip we want the model number, plus a picture of the rating plate if you can get one. Calls get grouped by direction when possible, which keeps travel costs sensible for you. Close-in repairs often fit the same day when the schedule allows.
Why our phones are answered every hour of every day
Appliances don't fail on a schedule. Water heaters split at two in the morning, freezers die over holiday weekends, and a restaurant cooler quits on a Friday night. So a person answers our phones 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. You won't hit a recording that promises a reply tomorrow. You'll talk to someone who takes the details, checks the schedule and tells you what happens next.
We roll a tech at any hour for true emergencies: a water heater leaking through the floor, a freezer or walk-in full of food that has stopped, or a gas appliance once the utility has made the house safe and shut the supply. Routine repairs go into the soonest open slot, and same-day service happens when the schedule allows. Either way, the phone call gets you a real answer, not a guess.
