"STAY AWAY!!!! This Company cancelled the initial estimate on me 3 times making me drive 90 minutes to the property each time. They finally showed and gave me the typical hard sell "if you sign the contract today..." They gave us a quote so far over market value we should have walked away. But we agreed because of the "70 year history in the industry" We thought we were buying a service from a company with integrity. They took an immediate $18K deposit on a $55K project. I know, shame on me for agreeing to such an amount. We knew we were over spending, but... One month later, they simply cancelled the contract without explanation and without any work on the project. This contract was binding on us but, in their words, was not binding on them because "there's a clause in the fine print that allows them to cancel" THEY STILL HAVE OUR MONEY and I STILL NEED A ROOF Stay away from this company. No integrity No responsibility Unreliable Over priced Will take your money and keep it"

"Home Systems Appliance Repair did an excellent repair on my 18 year old panel-ready 42 inch Built-In counter depth GE Profile Refrigerator. The original GE tech who looked at the leak in the freezer evaporator a year ago, told me the refrigerator was non repairable because the "vacuum pump" retrofit part it needed was no longer available. After paying his $200 visit fee for a 2 minute consultation, he offered me a discount on a new GE refrigerator to fit which had not been built yet. Fast forward to now, GE does have 42 inch built-in counter depth Monogram side-by-side for $12,000 and $2,000 of Kraftmaid panels. Home Systems Appliance Repair cost me $400 to identify and fix a broken heat transfer tab in the freezer evaporator unit. I saved $15,000 - - not bad for paying Appliance Repair for a 2 hour job. They seriously looked and found the problem. I highly recommend Manny (the tech who did the work), and Home Systems Appliance Repair. Susan"

Most glass stove tops serve faithfully for 10 to 20 years with proper maintenance. Longevity depends largely on usage patterns, cleaning practices, and the quality of the original materials. Regular, gentle cleaning and avoiding heavy impacts can extend your stove top's life considerably. Watch for warning signs like inconsistent heating or visible stress marks that might indicate replacement is becoming necessary.
In many cases, you can replace only the glass surface without changing the entire stove. This approach works well when the underlying heating elements and electrical components remain functional. However, some manufacturers design their units with integrated components that require complete assembly replacement. Consulting your owner's manual or speaking with a qualified technician helps determine the best approach for your specific model.
Even small cracks in a glass stove top present significant safety concerns. What appears as minor damage can quickly worsen with heat exposure, potentially leading to complete failure during cooking. Cracks also create pathways for spills to reach electrical components, posing shock and fire hazards. For your safety, avoid using a cracked stove top and arrange for inspection or replacement promptly.
A professional technician completes a glass stove top replacement within approximately two hours. This timeframe includes removing the damaged surface, installing the new glass, and testing all connections. The project may extend longer if complications arise or if your stove has unusual features. When ordering replacement parts, factor in additional days for delivery before scheduling installation.
Glass stove tops most commonly break from physical impacts like dropping heavy cookware or utensils. Thermal shock—the stress caused by rapid temperature changes—also contributes to breakage, especially when hot surfaces come into contact with cold items. Prevent damage by handling cookware carefully, allowing surfaces to cool before cleaning, and using appropriate pots and pans designed for glass cooking surfaces.
