Rockville calls include apartment and condo buildings around Rockville Town Center and Twinbrook, and townhome communities such as King Farm, where a homeowners association may manage parts of the property.
If your building asks for a certificate of insurance (COI), tell us when you book. We carry $1 million in general liability coverage and send a COI naming the building or management company before the visit.
Apartment and condo buildings may ask for a service-elevator booking or set contractor hours; send the rules when you book and we plan the window around them. In townhome communities, a note about guest parking or the entrance to use saves time at the start of the visit.
Send these with your booking so the visit starts on time.

Rockville's newer townhouse communities, King Farm and Fallsgrove among them, were built with matching appliance packages that are now old enough for their first real repairs: bake elements, igniters, temperature sensors and door hinges on builder-grade ranges, and the over-the-range microwave that doubles as the hood. Laundry sits on a bedroom floor, so a failed hose or door boot costs more than it would in a basement, and the dryer vents up through three stories to a roof cap where lint settles and the flap sticks. Most of these houses heat and cool with a heat pump, which shows its weaknesses in the first hot spell and the first hard freeze.
The older Cape Cods and ramblers in Twinbrook and around the older neighborhoods keep the washer and a chest or upright freezer in the basement, with a short dryer vent through the rim joist, and they more often run a gas furnace with central air. Kitchens remodeled in the 1980s and 90s sometimes still have a wall oven or a downdraft cooktop from that time, so we check part availability before quoting.
Rockville is one of the few places in the area that runs its own water utility: the city system serves about 70 percent of Rockville, roughly 13,500 accounts, from the Potomac, and WSSC serves the rest. Both sources are hard. Scale builds in ice-maker inlet valves and fill tubes, on dishwasher elements and spray arms, and in washer inlet screens, which is why a Miele F70 or film on glasses is a familiar call here.

Same-day and next-day appointments are available when the day's route has room. Calling early in the day gives the best chance of a same-day window, and we are open 7 days a week until 10 PM (Sundays from 10 AM).
We repair refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, stoves, cooktops, microwaves, range hoods and wine coolers, and we also repair HVAC heating and cooling systems. We work on major brands including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Bosch, KitchenAid, Miele, Thermador, Viking and Wolf.
The diagnostic visit is $75 for a single appliance 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.

National price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
We work in condo, apartment and managed buildings in Rockville. Tell us the building rules when you book: we send a certificate of insurance naming the building or management company and book the visit around service-elevator and contractor-hours rules. Property managers and landlords can book occupied units and turnovers; see appliance repair for property managers.
Clear a path to the appliance, write down any error code before resetting it, and keep pets away from the work area. Have the brand and model number ready if you can find the label, and add parking or access notes when you book.
Ask for the earliest window for an active leak, a burning smell, sparking, overheating, a fridge or freezer that can no longer keep food cold, or anything that feels unsafe to run. If you smell gas, leave the home first and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. For a leak, turning off the water supply valve to the appliance limits the damage until we arrive.
Every 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.
Often the vent is the problem rather than the dryer. A three-story vertical vent collects lint and the roof cap can stick, so the dryer runs hot and slow and eventually blows a thermal fuse or wears out the heating element. Have the vent cleaned from the roof down, and if drying is still slow the technician checks the heating element, thermostats and moisture sensor and quotes the repair before any work.
