Porter Square

North Cambridge triple-deckers and Avon Hill Victorians dominate, with kitchens on upper floors reached by narrow back stairs. Access is the recurring constraint - a 48-inch built-in that went in during a gut renovation rarely comes back out the front door.

How it goes

The same three stages, wherever the kitchen is

  1. Tell us what it is doing

    The model and serial off the plate — inside the fresh-food compartment on most columns, behind the base grille on under-counter units — plus what changed and when. Half the diagnosis happens on that call.

  2. A visit that measures things

    Compartment temperatures against the setpoint, evaporator and condenser behaviour, defrost termination, door seal pull. We work out what the unit is actually doing before deciding what to change.

  3. The number before the work

    Parts and labour as one figure, with the alternative if there is one. If a unit is not worth the repair we will say so and you will only have paid the service call.

Flat $95 service call anywhere in Cambridge, credited against an approved repair. 8:00 am – 8:00 pm, seven days; the phone is answered 24/7.

  1. 5 out of 5

    Avon Hill Victorian with the kitchen up on the second floor. Ours short cycled every few minutes. He measured the start winding and showed me the relay was at fault rather than the compressor.

  2. 5 out of 5

    Third floor of a Porter Square triple-decker, up the back stairs with a toolbag. Fresh food side sat near fifty while the freezer held fine. Condenser was packed with lint and the fan was rubbing its shroud.

  3. 5 out of 5

    The module had stopped mid harvest and jammed with a slab of ice. He cleared it without snapping anything plastic, then fitted a new ejector motor. Took his boots off at the door without being asked.
