Housing in Falls Church runs from Cape Cods and 1950s ramblers in the City and Pimmit Hills to new infill houses and apartment buildings along West Broad Street. Older kitchens were laid out for narrower refrigerators, so a French-door model often sits in an opening with little room to breathe, and the dishwasher was usually added years later. Older wall ovens, coil ranges and over-the-range microwaves are common, and laundry is often a stacked pair in a closet.
In the apartment buildings around Seven Corners and along West Broad Street, appliance repairs are usually the landlord's decision, so check with management before booking. Property managers can send us the unit, the tenant's contact and any entry rules, and we send a certificate of insurance when the building asks for one. Stacked laundry pairs take longer to service because the dryer often has to come off first, which is worth knowing when you book an occupied unit.
Most houses in the City, Pimmit Hills and Lake Barcroft have a driveway or free curb parking. Near West Broad Street and in the larger buildings, tell us where a service van can stop, whether there is a loading area, and how the technician gets from the lobby to your door. A note about a long internal dryer duct or a shared utility room helps too.
Send these with the booking so the technician arrives with the right parts and the right access.
What to arrange with management before the visit: entry, elevators, COIs and who approves the repair.
Occupied units and turnovers in Falls Church, your approval before any repair, invoices to your office and COIs on file.
Whether you are in a rambler in Pimmit Hills, a townhouse in Idylwood or an apartment at Seven Corners, the technician diagnoses the problem on site and gives you a written quote before any work begins.

We're based in Alexandria, about 9 miles from Falls Church, which puts the City, Seven Corners and Bailey's Crossroads on many of our daily routes. Same-day visits are most likely when you call early in the day; otherwise next-day is the norm. Hours are Monday to Saturday 8 AM to 10 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 10 PM, with evening and weekend visits at the same price as weekdays.
We repair refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, stoves, cooktops, microwaves, range hoods, wine coolers and heating and cooling systems. Falls Church jobs often involve an older wall oven in a cutout that a new model would not fit, a coil range, an over-the-range microwave, a stacked washer and dryer in a closet, or central air that was added to a house years after it was built. Brands include Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Bosch, KitchenAid, Miele, Thermador, Viking and Wolf. Countertop appliances are not something we service.
Appliance Surgeon charges $75 for the diagnostic visit in Falls Church, VA, or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. For appliance repairs, labor starts at $200 and stays there on about 9 in 10 repairs; more complex jobs can reach $450. Parts are extra and listed in the quote. Typical price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
You can call us, but in most rental buildings the appliance belongs to the landlord, and the landlord or the management company has to approve the repair and pay for it. The quickest path is to report the problem to management and ask them to book with us, or to put us in touch. We work with property managers across Falls Church, send a certificate of insurance when the building requires one, and schedule around the tenant.
The City's water system joined Fairfax Water in 2014, and some of the area's supply still comes from the Washington Aqueduct on the Potomac. River water changes hardness through the year, and over time scale builds up in a refrigerator's inlet valve and a dishwasher's fill valve. A fridge filter does not remove hardness, but changing it on schedule keeps the flow from slowing. If your ice maker has gone from slow to leaking, the valve is usually the first thing we test.
Clear the counter and the floor around the appliance, and for a stacked laundry closet, take out anything stored on top of or beside the units. Find the model number. Turn off the water valves to a leaking washer or dishwasher, and keep a failing freezer shut. If the appliance is in a rental, have the landlord's or the management company's approval ready so the technician can start as soon as you accept the quote.
Treat an active leak, a burning smell, sparks, a microwave that runs with the door open, or a refrigerator that will not hold temperature as urgent and call us right away. If you smell gas, do not touch the knobs or any switch; get everyone outside and call Washington Gas or 911 from there. We do not run a 24/7 emergency line, but we take calls until 10 PM seven days a week and move urgent jobs up the route when we can.
Every Appliance Surgeon repair is covered by a 90-day warranty on parts and labor, starting the day the repair is finished. The technician explains the terms before the job is complete.
