"They did fine. They came and fixed what was wrong but there was another thing that was wrong that someone else had to fix but it was fine, it worked out okay. It wasn’t an oversight on their part; it was just that there was something wrong with the switch on the lid that shuts of the dryer. My wife and I eventually decided to buy a new dryer because it was just old, so we have a new one. We were pleased with what they did. One of the things I was a little bit skeptical about was their guy came in and he zeroed down on this one thing, fixed it and was out of here but he didn’t check this other switch that was out. It was not a big deal but it seemed to me that A Plus Appliance Repair has a lot of guys that works for this one guy, the fellow that you call. You call him and then he sends out the guy to you and the guy that came to our house was a real nice guy. He fixed what I had called about but he didn’t go through the whole thing and check it."

"It's insurance for all appliances and also they came her for my stove. I pay them month to month.  I'm happy with them. Price is good. We don't pay, I fix it and they, everything is paid for. I don't have to pay anything. If my refrigerator goes bye bye they will replace it for free. They are very professional. We have had them for year. They also came here for my stove because something when wrong with the door, the oven door. I have a commercial oven and he door just won't shut so something when wrong with it, and they fixed it. I pay them month to month. I'm happy with them. Price is good. We don't pay, I fix it and they, everything is paid for. I don't have to pay anything. I don't have to pay anything. If my refrigerator goes bye bye, they will replace it for free. They are very professional. We have had them for years. We used them at our other house also. I think it was the air conditioner that went out. They replaced it, the whole thing. They were recommended to us by somebody who's been with them for years. And, like thank god because a year later the damn air conditioner went out. So we were able to use it."

"Doug refinished some teak cabinet doors on my boat. These were very tricky, as the veneer is thin and delicate, and they needed the old varnish sanded off. I was worried that sanding might damage the veneer, but no problem. The doors look like new, and teak veneer is intact!

He also solved a unique problem for me at the marina. I needed to figure out a way to stow my kayaks. He designed and built a very nice solution, using pressure treated wood, to survive the salty environment.

Happy with the results of these jobs, I also had him replace a window at my house.

Hire this guy only if you want the work done on time, at a reasonable price!

FAQs for appliance (microwave oven) installation and replacement projects in Palomar-mountain, CA

A pro can finish the job in one to three hours. Countertop models are the quickest, but built-in, drawer, and over-the-range units take longer because the installer may need to run a new outlet, modify cabinets, or add venting. Any add-ons can push the timeline closer to the three-hour mark. Hiring a licensed installer ensures the wiring is safe and the appliance operates at peak performance.

Because an over-the-range microwave doubles as a range hood, it needs proper venting. You can opt for a recirculating model that filters and recirculates air back into the kitchen, or a ducted unit that exhausts outdoors. Are you unsure which route suits your cooking style? Ask your installer for guidance before making a purchase.

Only microwaves labeled “over-the-range” have the built-in venting and lighting that’s necessary for safe, code-compliant use above a stove. Countertop models don’t have those safeguards. Before you swipe your card, have a licensed microwave installer confirm you’re choosing the right unit for the space and ensure compliance with local codes.

It’s best not to install a countertop microwave in your cabinets. Countertop models aren’t designed for use in an enclosed cabinet, and blocking those vents can trap moisture or even create a fire hazard. A built-in or drawer microwave is designed for tight spaces. Run your plans by an installer to make sure you’re buying the right style for the spot.

You don’t need an electrician if the outlet already meets the microwave’s power needs and sits in the right spot. In that case, you’re good to go ahead with the installation. If the outlet is undersized, outdated, or too far away, hire a licensed electrician to install a new one and ensure everything is code-compliant.

With routine care, most microwaves last between five and 10 years. To help them reach their maximum lifespan, wipe up spills immediately, wash the grease filter periodically, avoid using metal dishware, and close the door gently. Those simple habits reduce malfunctions and keep the appliance running smoothly for the long haul.
