Entry, elevators and stairs

Residents live in apartment buildings and older hillside houses, so entry may include buzzers, stairs and elevators. Give us the unit, the buzzer label and a phone number. If the elevator has to be reserved, ask your manager and send the time.

Tight parking along Lakeshore Avenue

Parking is tight along the avenue and on the side streets. A short note about the easiest place to stop helps, and so does an early or midday window.

Small kitchens and clearances

Kitchens in older units tend to be small, so unit clearances deserve a quick check before the visit. Look behind and beside the refrigerator, and make sure nothing is pushed against the vents. A dishwasher or range with too little room around it is harder to service and more prone to overheating.

Lake moisture

Lake-adjacent moisture is moderate here. It is not like the salt air on the shoreline, but a damp laundry closet still invites mildew on a washer door gasket. Leave the washer door ajar between loads and wipe the seal when it is wet.

What happens during the call

We hear the symptom, inspect the appliance and read the label, then give a written estimate. Work starts when you approve it.

Checks to try

Look at the breaker, the water valve and the door or lid. Clean the dryer lint screen. Write down any code. Leave panels closed.

Washers in closets

A washer in a closet or alcove sits close to the wall, and its hoses can kink when it is pushed back. A kinked drain hose slows the pump-out and a kinked supply hose slows the fill. Pull nothing apart: look from the front or the side, straighten what you can see and make sure the shutoff valves are fully open.

Dryers and shared walls

Where a dryer vents into a shared wall or a long duct, lint accumulates and drying times stretch. Clean the screen after every load and look at the outside flap. If the room gets very warm, switch the dryer off and call.

Refrigerators near the radiator or oven

A refrigerator placed close to a range or a heating pipe runs longer than it should. When you describe the problem, say what is beside it. Moving the appliance is the technician’s job, not yours.

Parts and return visits

When a part must be ordered, you will hear which one, why and what the second visit covers, before you decide.
