How long does it take you to reach Albany from San Ramon?

Count on 40 to 45 minutes coming from San Ramon, I-580 or Highway 24 over to I-80. Albany rides with Berkeley and Richmond on the same Inner East Bay day, and a booked window gets a written arrival time.

Can you coordinate with a property manager for a UC Village or rental unit?

Yes. We meet whoever has access, whether that's a resident or a manager, diagnose for $99, and send the written quote to whoever is approving the work. That's a normal call for us in Albany.

Is it worth fixing an old Haier compact?

If the repair is under half the cost of a comparable new unit and the compressor is healthy, yes. Relays, fans, and gaskets usually clear that bar easily. A sealed system leak on an old compact often doesn't, and I'll tell you plainly if that's the case.

Haier in Albany

Haier in Albany kitchens.

Albany packs a lot of small kitchens into 1.8 square miles, and Haier fits right in. UC Village family housing along Buchanan Street runs compacts and slim top-mounts because the units are small by design. The ADUs and basement units going into backyards along the Marin Avenue grid lean on the same compact and 24 to 30 inch stock for the same reason, not enough floor space for anything bigger.

These are GE machines wearing a cheaper badge, since Haier owns GE Appliances now. Relays, fan motors, gaskets, and defrost parts move through GE distribution and usually show up within a day or two. We come in from San Ramon, 40 to 45 minutes via I-580 or Highway 24 to I-80, run the $99 diagnostic, and leave a written quote. On an old compact that isn't worth saving, I say so at the diagnostic and you're only out $99.

Water and ice systems

The water inlet valve, a common fridge leak.

Every fridge with a dispenser or ice maker has a water inlet valve. The fittings can leak under the cabinet, or the solenoid fails and the dispenser and ice maker stop getting water.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Clicking start relays in UC Village and ADU compacts. A Haier compact that clicks and hums without cooling has a failed start relay on the compressor. Small units in family housing and backyard ADUs get moved and bumped more than a full-size fridge would, and that wears the start components. I check the compressor windings before I quote the relay, since the relay is the cheap fix and the compressor isn't.
Blocked defrost drains in basement and ADU installs. Water pooling under the crispers or ice on the freezer floor is a clogged defrost drain. Basement units in particular tend to sit on uneven concrete, which throws the fridge off-level and backs the drain up faster. I clear the drain, flush it, and level the unit.
Noisy evaporator fans in tight bungalow kitchens. A fan with worn bearings chirps or rattles, and in a small bungalow kitchen on the Marin Avenue grid that sound travels through the whole house. It cuts out when the door opens, which is how I confirm the fan and not something else. Usually a common repair with a part we usually stock.
