Matt and Alex are great! We had them come service our dryer twice after it started smoking. For some reason lint accumulation is bad on our dryer. (My daughter is constantly doing laundry, like daily) We will definitely call them back again for any repairs that come up!

I've used them a couple of times now for multiple appliance services and a ducting service. Fantastic company. Very knowledgeable, honest, thorough and polite. I highly recommend.

Outstanding service, messaged back less than 5 minutes after my inquiry, was able to come out that afternoon on OUR schedule, and diagnosed the issue which didn't require parts replacement. Very friendly and efficient, will definitely use again,

Knowledgeable, multi skilled in HVAC, appliance repair, and electrical. Fixed by central heater rather than trying to sell me a replacement for $8-9K. The heater is operating like new. Gave me a reasonable estimate for zoning my house and redo wrapping my flume. I will higher him again.

Matt is great. We had him help us with our HVAC system, overhead lighting, and broken washing machine. In each case he did solid work. Importantly, he worked with us to find the most sensible solution. Some contractors will leave you out of the decisions but not Matt. He will help you find the right solution to fix the problem!

My oven mysteriously turned on by itself a few times today. Stressful! And strange! Vlad was able to fix my thermostat, and I am so grateful Plug-in Services was able to address my concerns so quickly. Thank you!

"Honest, efficient and fairly priced — Matt diagnosed our AC and both thermostats within half an hour and had everything fixed the same day. Got a next-day appointment when other companies were scheduling weeks out. Highly recommend.

Matt replaced our dishwasher pump and fixed a noise issue on our washing machine — all in one visit. Within half an hour the washer was running so quietly it felt brand new. Thank you Matt!

Matt is so awesome! We had an issue in May and he came and did the work rather quickly and gave us a year warranty on his work. He came back quickly and didn't take payment. Not to mention, his cost is very fair. He will forever be our tech

Questions & answers

Appliance repair questions

How much does appliance repair in Santa Cruz cost?

The diagnostic visit costs $80, waived when you approve our repair. The final price depends on the appliance, fault and parts needed. We explain the findings and repair price first. If you decline the repair, the diagnostic fee still applies.

Do you offer same-day appliance repair?

Call (831) 888-9348 to check the earliest appointment. Availability depends on the schedule, appliance and parts required. An online request is not a confirmed arrival time; our team contacts you to arrange the visit.

Which appliances do you repair?

We repair refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens and stoves. We also service espresso machines. Select your appliance above or tell us the brand, model and symptoms when requesting appliance repair service.

Can you repair Sub-Zero, Thermador and other premium brands?

We service premium brands including Sub-Zero, Thermador, Wolf and Monogram, as well as major household appliance brands. Service and parts availability depend on the model. You do not need to have bought the appliance from us.

Is it worth repairing an older appliance?

The answer depends on the diagnosed fault, repair price, parts availability and overall condition. A single failed component may be worth repairing. We explain the options so you can weigh repair against replacing the appliance without relying on age alone.

What should I prepare for the service visit?

Send the brand and model number if available, describe the problem and note any error code. Clear access to the appliance. Tell us about leaks or electrical issues before the visit, and avoid using equipment that is leaking, sparking or smells of burning.
