"I have a 48" 532 Sub Zero that is 26 years old and the freezer stopped working and the refrigerator was getting warmer. the rest of the refrigerator is in pristine condition. I had two technicians come out to inspect the unit. The first charged $98.00 and told me it would be $2,200 to repair only the freezer or I should just go out and purchase a new Sub Zero at a cost of over $12,000.00. The second inspection determined the problem was only the freezer compressor and I needed a refrigerator temperature controller. However, he wouldn't do the complicated repair. I purchased the two parts he suggested and proceeded to call around for someone to replace these components and recharge the system. After speaking to 6 companies and researching 12 more that had mixed or poor reviews, only two were capable of doing the repairs. One couldn't come out for a week and my conversation with him was less than reassuring. Gus at GVC Appliance Repairs came out the very next day. He was more competitive than the others and was the most helpful on the phone. He and Greg showed up on time, verified the problem, and corrected it as they promised. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Everything is working as I hoped for and in the end I saved not only $11,000.00 for a new unit but I didn't have to extract a built in refrigerator from the kitchen. I would recommend them to anyone needing a fair and professional service performed on any of their appliances. I feel fortunate to have found them after experiencing the marketplace for this kind of repair.

"Alex was very prompt and friendly on our first contact. He was able to confirm what I researched online, regarding my moaning electric dryer. He listened to the dryer by phone, and I provided the model number of the dryer. He gave me an estimate for the repair, and promptly called me to schedule the repair, when the parts arrived. He was quick to repair our dryer, and provided some helpful recommendations moving forward, for the frequency to clean our vents. He saved us from having to buy a brand new dryer. He tested the appliance in my presence to confirm the repair. I d highly recommend him, due to the excellent service he provided. Thank you, Alex!! 🙏"

"It went great. It was all done over two half-day sessions. He first plastered and premiered our kitchen ceiling, and then installed the wall mirror and flat-screen TV mount. A couple of days later (after the primer dried), he returned to apply the paint, and then installed the track lights and the oven fan."

"Rommel was prompt and courteous throughout the process.  He diagnosed the leak in my master bathroom sink and replaced part of the faucet to repair it which required that he move the pedestal sink.  He also snaked the sewer line at two different clean out sites.  Work was done thoroughly and with a high degree of integrity.  Would definitely call Rayne Plumbing again!

"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."

FAQs for appliance (microwave oven) installation and replacement projects in San Lorenzo, 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.
