We offer full residential and commercial appliance and HVAC repair services at affordable rates and with the best customer service. Joining the chorus of 5* reviews for Russell. I called 20 companies and everyone was booked 2+ weeks out as the weather had just changed. Russell luckily was able to squeeze us in the same day.
He quickly (30-45 mins) diagnosed what had broken. Unfortunately, parts were only available in a Home Depot 20 miles away. Russell offered to pick up the parts that I ordered that night and come back the next day to fix the system. The next day, he showed up and again within 30-45 mins the system was fixed.
He was quick (and got the job done!) and I felt the price was fair. I would definitely start by calling him again if I had further appliance issues. My occurrence with ARAS was with my big Viking double door fridge with freezer below. It started to leak onto the floor and was driving us crazy. I called the Viking approved service location that I had used before (with satisfaction) but was told it would take a week to come.

Our Kenmore washer broke down two days ago. Called ARAS, yesterday, and Russell was able to come out within two hours to diagnose the problem. He checked it out, turned it on, and after a few minutes, he said the pump was broken. I wrote him a check and he left on his way to pick up the part. I made an appointment for the next morning at 9:30 am for installation.

Called for help with a KitchenAid microwave. Russell is the owner and was incredibly responsive, professional and very nice. I had already opened the microwave and had replaced a switch... but that didn't fix the issue. Russell patiently helped diagnose the issue, reviewed all the schematics and outlined various options.
Russell is as genuine and nice as they come. Without a doubt, I will use ARAS in the future. Exceptional service.

I have called several times And each time, have had a fantastic experience. Not only do they come out and fix my issues, which have included leaks and a broken dishwasher, they also explain what happened and how to avoid the issue in the future. If you are looking for a handyman in the bay area, this is the person to hire. Call them now!

I called ARAS on Monday, 4/12 to help with a dryer that had a burning smell. Russell arrived within a few hours, cleaned the unit and diagnosed several issues which explained why it was taking forever to dry our laundry. He was able to fix one problem immediately, then came back Tuesday early evening (no doubt after a full day of work) to install another new part. The dryer is now working efficiently. He called me yesterday (Wed) to check in and make sure the dryer was ok. Russell is a gem and I'm glad I found him. He is now our "appliance guy." Russell is a very nice and conscientious

Russel was super helpful in helping me with getting my new oven in - the old setup was made back in the 80s and needed to be revamped to accept a new 220 outlet.
The install of the plug looks fantastic. Definitely will be contacting him again if I need assistance with any of my appliances in the future!

Russell is a true professional. He does quality work, and there's no need to call anyone else. Now I know why he has 5 star reviews on every platform ARAS Appliance Repair is reviewed on. Definitely recommend.

Our refrigerator stopped working on a Saturday and we called ARAS Appliance Repair. Russel arrived shortly, fixed the problematic relay and capacitor by replacing them with a 3 in 1 self starter kit. He also explained how the compressor worked and how the relay and capacitor were not able to keep up with the failing compressor and why the problem occurred in the first place. He is a very experienced and humble person and he had a wonderful attitude throughout his visit. I would definitely recommend ARAS to everyone who have problems with appliances.

Russell was absolutely fantastic! I had an old heater (probably dated 500 BC) that I just know the other companies would have wanted me to replace. It wouldn't be worth it for them. It was for Russell. He took the time and effort to see fit that the job was done correctly. In this case, it literally meant 4 trips (because he didn't want to start with the most expensive option). One of the gems here on Yelp and he'll be my go to call for things appliance related.

Responsive, fast, saved me big $$ on my washer repair. 5 stars!
Longer story: Our washer broke on a Sunday, and I started searching for reputable repair services that night. I saw that ARAS had a 24-hour phone line, which seemed unlikely but the reviews were uniformly strong, so I called and Russ picked up at 10pm on a Sunday. He gave me a two-hour window on Monday to check out the machine. (Repair via Whirlpool's site was going to arrive in 12 days.)
He arrived on the dot, did some diagnostics, and seeing that I'd opened the machine and tried to do some diagnosis myself (with the help

Yesterday Russell came to fix our fridge 1 hour after I called him while the others giving us next day or later dates. He was wearing his mask and gloves. He did some work and left for the day until the freezer melted. This morning he called and came back again very shortly after our brief conversation.
He fixed the fridge today. If you looking for honest, fast and reliable repairman he is your guy. I am so glad I used him instead of waiting for the others. He is my to go repairman now.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND him. Thanks Russell for all your help!

I always am skeptical when someone gets so many 5-star reviews, but for Russell, I can see why. I am here to contribute my own reasons for giving him another 5-star review.
Given I love sparkling water, and am pained to throw away so many Le Croix containers, I took the plunge and bought a sparkling water dispenser for my home. No, not your typical SodaStream; it's actual chilled, sparkling water from a faucet, just like you would get filtered water. It was an appliance sold by Everpure, supposedly a well-known manufacturer in the filtered water industry.
Fast forward 3 1/2 years, and like

Although I wasn't able to use his services, I have to say I was amazed with his professionalism and follow through. He was not able to fix my AC siento my time Constraints but still called back a couple days later to check up to see if I had any more questions and to offer any further assistance. I will most likely be calling him in the future for other appliance repairs needs if needed.

This was one of the best experiences I've ever had with a repair man. We called ARAS appliance to fix our freezer that wasn't closing. Russell came out in a couple of hours. It took a while to figure out what was wrong but he, with help from my husband, finally figured it out and fixed it. (It was an obscure problem.)
Then he noticed that my refrigerator door wasn't closing properly. Apparently the original installation guys didn't install the unit properly. He advised that the most reliable way to fix it was to replace it. After finding out that a replacement my would cost
