I had a great experience with H-5 Appliance Repair. They did an excellent job troubleshooting and identifying the issue with my six-year-old Viking stove. I really appreciated how transparent and helpful they were throughout the process they even let me order the replacement part myself, which arrived much faster…

Steve responded quickly via Yelp to diagnose before making an appointment and be sure he'd have the part for my washer/dryer. Gave a fair price and was able to make an appointment quickly. Got the job done efficiently and professionally. I also appreciated the phone call letting me know he was on the way within the window he gave, and even wore booties inside. So grateful for his service and the additional maintenance tips. Definitely recommend and will remember for any future repair needs!

Steve was punctual and took the time to explain the issues with the refrigerator. Reasonable service fee which is applied towards the cost of the repairs. I’d recommend Hi-5 and will call them for all future appliance repairs.

I really appreciated how transparent and helpful they were throughout the process they even let me order the replacement part myself, which arrived much faster than expected. Once the part came in, they promptly returned to install it, and everything has been working perfectly since. I highly recommend H-5 for their professionalism, honesty, and quality service!
