Renting in southwest Charlotte
Renters outnumber owners in 28217 by a wide margin, so the appliance in a home here usually belongs to a landlord, and the lease usually says who arranges repairs.
Landlords who own a house or a few units here can book us directly. The technician diagnoses the machine, explains what failed, and quotes the repair; the owner approves the price before any work starts.
Tenants can help an appliance last: clean the dryer lint screen every load, don't overload the washer, and keep the refrigerator vents inside clear of food.
Storms and power surges
The single-family streets around Yorkmount and Colony Acres have their own concerns, and summer weather is one. Afternoon thunderstorms can knock out power and send a surge down the line when it comes back.
If an appliance's display is dead after a storm, check the breaker and the outlet first. If both are fine, the control board or a fuse on it may have taken the hit, which the technician can confirm on site. Unplugging electronic appliances during a lightning storm is simple protection.
Microwave do's and don'ts
Never run a microwave empty, and keep metal out unless the manual allows it; both can damage the magnetron. Sparks inside usually mean food on the waveguide cover, the small panel on the side wall, which can be cleaned or replaced. A microwave that runs but doesn't heat has a high-voltage fault, and a microwave can hold a dangerous charge even when unplugged, so that one is for a technician.
Who books a repair in a rental
Give us the address and unit number, the appliance, the tenant's name and contact for access, and who approves the quote. If the tenant will be at work, say how the technician gets in.
We'll diagnose the appliance, explain the fault and quote the repair to whoever is paying, and nothing is repaired until that person approves.
