Harvard Square

The streets off Brattle and Garden hold some of the oldest wood-frame and brick houses in the city, many carved into condominiums and later recombined. Kitchens here are usually built into former pantries and back halls, so a full-height built-in often sits in a space that was never framed for one.

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.

    During the February cold snap the freezer stopped holding overnight. The evaporator fan motor was dragging and close to stalling. Replaced that morning, and he checked the second compressor as well.

  2. 5 out of 5

    Production fell right off after we changed the filter ourselves. Air trapped in the line, as it turned out. He purged it properly and checked the inlet screen, which had picked up grit from old building pipe.

  3. 5 out of 5

    Our kitchen off Brattle Street used to be a pantry, so the column sits in a box with no side clearance at all. He worked entirely from the front instead of dragging it out, found a shorted defrost thermistor, and left the old paintwork unmarked.
