Appliance Repair in Mount Vernon, VA

We're based in Alexandria, about 7 miles from Mount Vernon, a short run down the George Washington Memorial Parkway or Richmond Highway, so this is one of our shortest trips and same-day visits are common when you call before midday. Later calls usually get the next day. Hours are Monday to Saturday 8 AM to 10 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 10 PM, with evening and weekend visits priced the same as weekday visits.

Refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, stoves, cooktops, microwaves, range hoods, wine coolers, and heating and cooling, from the single-zone furnace and air conditioner in a Fort Hunt ranch to a heat pump in a newer townhouse. Older built-in dishwashers and wall ovens from original kitchens are routine here, and parts for many GE, Whirlpool and Frigidaire models stay available for years after production ends. Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Bosch, KitchenAid, Miele, Thermador, Viking, Wolf and most other brands are serviced; small countertop appliances are not.

Appliance Surgeon charges $75 for the diagnostic visit in Mount Vernon, 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.

Give us the unit address, the tenant's name and phone number and the hours they can be home, and we schedule directly with them while you stay on the approval chain. The technician diagnoses the problem, we send you the written quote, and nothing is replaced until you say so. The invoice goes to your office, and if the complex requires a certificate of insurance or a contractor sign-in, send the office contact and we handle it before the first visit. Turnovers between tenants are booked the same way.

Often it is. The ranches and colonials along the corridor were built with dishwashers that have been kept and repaired rather than replaced, and parts for many of those GE, Whirlpool and Frigidaire models stay available long after production ends; we check availability before quoting. A dishwasher that loses power now and then, like the GE in a Huntington request, usually has a loose connection, a tired door latch switch or a thermal fuse, and a broken spray arm with poor drainage usually means pieces in the filter or the pump. Replacement makes more sense when the tub is rusted through or the control board is no longer made.

Clear the counter beside a cooktop and the floor in front of a dishwasher or washer, and move cars so the van can pull into the driveway or carport. If the oven runs cool, put an oven thermometer in before the visit and tell us both numbers. For a front-loader that will not unlock, unplug it and leave it; the technician drains it through the pump filter. If a unit sat in floodwater, say so and do not run it.

Treat a dryer that smells hot or stops after a burning smell, a dishwasher that keeps losing power, water running from a washer or a freezer onto the floor, sparking, or a refrigerator warming in both sections as same-day calls. If you smell gas at the range or the furnace, leave the house without touching switches and call Washington Gas or 911 from outside. After a flood, do not run a furnace or an outdoor unit that was underwater until it has been checked, since flooded gas controls are generally replaced rather than dried out. We answer until 10 PM every day, and urgent calls move to the front of the route when there is room.

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.
