Our very affordable appliance repair house call service charge includes: our basic trip charge; inspection; diagnosis of your refrigerator; and the repair estimate for your approval before any work is done. When we perform repair service on your refrigerator, we deduct the house call service charge and repair estimate from the total repair price, making it free. Other companies may apply it towards the repair, but they'll still charge you. If no refrigerator service is performed, you only pay the house call, unless emergency refrigerator service or paid parking is required.
We don't have an hourly rate. After we diagnose your refrigerator, but before we perform any service, we will show you our flat rate pricing schedule for your approval. So whether a select job takes us twenty minutes or two hours to complete, you are not penalized if unexpected circumstances arise extending the normal repair time. This affords you the assurance that not only is your refrigerator or freezer repaired properly using correct factory OEM parts, but also that you are not overcharged for slow labor. Our prices are extremely competitive with both national and local industry averages. So competitive, in fact, that we will BEAT any competitor’s written estimate by 10%.

We provide affordable refrigerator repair service to most of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs in Cook County, Du Page County, and parts of Kane County, Lake County, and Will County. You can check out our refrigerator service area for your town, or you can search for your zip code. You will find that we have one of the least expensive house call service charges in the Chicagoland area, and our repair prices are just as competitive. We will be able to arrive to diagnose your refrigerator problems within hours in most cases.
We will gladly tell you what our affordable house call is before we schedule you for service. However, we can only tell you what your refrigerator repair costs will be after we have inspected and diagnosed your refrigerator or freezer personally. Additionally, common symptoms, such as, its not cooling, can have several different causes, making personal inspection necessary to accurately diagnose your problem.
On the other hand, if you know what you need replaced without receiving our diagnosis, we will gladly tell you what the part will cost to replace and make sure the technician has it with him when he comes out. Any labor quoted prior to visual inspection may require an adjustment should unknown circumstances arise. However, we cannot warranty any work based on someone else's diagnosis, and any non-electrical returned part is subject to a 25% restocking fee. All sales are final on electrical parts that have been opened.
We specialize in repairing refrigerators and freezers for a few reasons. First and foremost, because they are the two major appliances that no household can smoothly function without for even one day. Secondly, unlike any other appliance in your home, your refrigerator and freezer are the only appliances that can cost you more money the longer you wait for repair. Loss of food due to cooling problems increases as time passes. If you have a water leak, continual damage to the floors and walls not only in your kitchen and adjacent rooms, but also in your basement, will escalate as time passes, so the sooner it is repaired, the less it will cost you. Lastly, since our focus is on freezer and refrigerator appliance repair, we come across uncommon problems more frequently, which allows us to be more knowledgeable about proper solutions.
No, we do not charge for the house call, service trip charge, or the refrigerator service estimate, if we repair your refrigerator. We discount the house call off the total repair price estimate, so you only pay for parts and labor, the refrigerator repair estimate and house call are free. Some companies claim to "waive the house call", or "apply it towards the repair", when in fact they actually include it into the total, so they still charge you for the house call. We will show you our flat rate pricing schedule after inspection and diagnosis, for your approval and before any work is performed. If we don't fix your refrigerator, for any reason, you only pay for the house call that is quoted when you schedule an appointment.
To begin with, our house call service charge is one of, if not the, least expensive in Chicago and Suburbs. Some of our competitors charge nearly six times, you read that correctly, six times as much as we do to inspect, diagnose and give you an estimate of refrigerator repair, from a professional, factory trained technician. That is even more expensive than some of our flat rate repair prices. Our flat rate refrigerator repair service pricing structure is so competitive, that we will BEAT any competitor's written refrigerator repair estimate by 10%. However, the average cost of refrigerator repair service, from A FAST LOCAL REFRIGERATOR REPAIR, is less than a weekly grocery bill for two people.
If we fix it, YES, absolutely. The old adage, "They don't make them like they used to" is the cold truth, especially when referring to refrigerators. It only makes sense to keep a refrigerator while it still has useful life, especially if it’s only a minor repair. The average useful life of a newer refrigerator is 15-17 years. Older models last much longer. In fact, since they contain fewer motors, use simpler designs and less plastic, compared to newer models, you would be surprised to know that the energy consumption is not that much greater and that they were built to last longer, not break down sooner like newer refrigerators do. Taking into account the average cost of a refrigerator repair from A FAST LOCAL REFRIGERATOR REPAIR vs. the total cost of replacing it: purchase price + tax + shipping/travel cost + installation labor + extraction of your old appliance + loss of time from work + possible kitchen remodeling costs + dining out = 5 to 25 times, or greater, what it would have cost for A FAST LOCAL REFRIGERATOR REPAIR to fix your appliance. In addition to the monetary cost itself, remember to add the burden of living without a refrigerator for even 2 days, possibly up to a week or even longer.
Yes. Our Chicagoland refrigerator repair technicians are fully qualified and certified by the EPA for Type I refrigerant usage as required by 40 CFR part 82, subpart F. Yes, we are a fully insured refrigerator repair service.
Refrigerator freezer temperature problems are rarely the result of a bad compressor or the hermetically sealed system having a refrigerant leak, either of which is considered a major repair, even by the EPA. However, 80-85% of refrigerator repair service calls only require a minor repair to resolve cooling problems with your refrigerator or freezer.
