"Initially, working with Universe went very well when we replaced a central air unit and installed a single-head and triple-head ductless unit... for about 1 season. After that, numerous issues arose (under warranty) from full line-replacement on the ductless units to having to come back to repair a wired connection that was reversed. This caused the AC to not work and have lots of moisture leak through our units. Additionally, pretty much EVERY season we have had an issue with our "brand new efficient systems" not working or failing. We leveraged the warranty and figured all the "kinks" of the installation were worked out over the first few years. Now, with the warranty expired for a year, we have had to have them back to our house several times with a service charge with absolutely zero consideration for the large project we have done with them and our dedicated customer history. We paid for those, thinking we would be done with repairs, as the tech said... Two days ago, with one single-head unit not powering up, they wanted to charge $285 just to show up to take a look at the issue... couldn't even send someone over when convenient to take a quick look... Severely disappointed in this "family business" that treats loyal/dedicated customers as a number. Their installation of ductless systems seems mediocre at best."

When properly maintained, most refrigerators last about 10 to 15 years. With regular upkeep, some can run efficiently for up to 20 years or more. However, lower-performing models might need replacing after as few as eight years. Keeping up with maintenance and hiring an appliance pro for any repairs can help extend your fridge's lifespan.
Despite common perceptions, the average cost to repair a mini fridge is around $250. Technicians may charge an hourly rate between $45 and $120, with an additional service charge of $150 to $200. You’ll double that for a home visit. Unless the issue is easy to fix on your own, buying a new minifridge usually costs less than paying for a repair.
Once your repair bill hits about 50% of the replacement cost and your fridge is out of warranty, it’s time to replace it. Spending $100 to $300 on a repair (especially when it helps the fridge last for several more years) is a fraction of the $1,000 to $1,500 price for a brand-new one.
A fridge is low on Freon if it’s leaking refrigerant. If you notice your food isn’t staying cold, the motor is running more than usual (or even constantly), and there’s a chemical smell, this could indicate a leak. You should never need to replace refrigerant in a well-functioning fridge, but if you do, call a pro to handle this issue safely.
A refrigerator stops cooling due to multiple underlying issues. Faulty compressor fans, malfunctioning thermostats, obstructed coils from accumulated dirt, or an unplugged unit are the primary reasons for failed cooling. In addition, wiring faults, damaged door seals, or mechanical breakdowns can also disrupt performance. Inspect all components carefully and consult a repair pro if the problem persists.
A failing refrigerator control board displays clear warning signs that affect cooling performance and generate error codes. It is the central unit that governs compressor operation and temperature regulation. Key symptoms include erratic temperatures, unexpected display malfunctions, unresponsive controls, and a complete loss of cooling. Recognize these issues immediately and secure professional repair to protect the appliance.
