"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"

"We were 100% satisfied with Washingtonian and with their work building our addition and deck. Not only was the workmanship and quality of the construction outstanding, but they operated with honesty and integrity. Their goal was our satisfaction and building a quality addition and deck. They accomplished all three and were reliable, dependable and conscientious. At no time did we believe that they had over-committed or were unable to deliver on what they had promised. They never cut corners to rush to another job nor did I ever feel that they were not spending the necessary time to ensure that the work on our job was thorough and complete. Travis, Kris and their crew were 100% professional, communicative and transparent. We will be using Washingtonian again, without hesitation. Our experience was excellent and they did an awesome job."

"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"

Warning signs of compressor failure include unusual operating sounds (clicking, buzzing, or humming), inadequate cooling despite the fan running, excessive heat around the compressor area, and frequent cycling on and off. Your refrigerator might also run continuously without reaching the proper temperature, causing food to spoil quickly. Before concluding it's a compressor issue, verify that your refrigerator has power and the correct temperature settings.
The value proposition depends on several factors. Compressor replacement makes financial sense for refrigerators under seven to 10 years old, especially premium models or those still under warranty. For units approaching or exceeding their expected 12 to 15-year lifespan, or when repair costs approach half the price of a new refrigerator, replacing the entire appliance offers better long-term value.
Refrigerator compressors function effectively for eight to 15 years, though this varies based on usage patterns, maintenance regularity, and manufacturing quality. Environmental factors like ambient temperature, power supply stability, and ventilation also impact longevity. Regular maintenance practices—including coil cleaning, ensuring adequate airflow around the unit, and avoiding overfilling—can significantly extend compressor life.
Refrigerator compressor replacement should be performed exclusively by EPA-certified professionals. The process involves handling refrigerant, which requires special licensing, training, and equipment to manage safely and legally. Amateur attempts risk environmentally harmful refrigerant leaks, component damage, warranty voiding, and potential safety hazards. The specialized tools and expertise required make this repair particularly unsuitable for DIY efforts.
