What actually counts as urgent
Situations That Qualify as an Emergency
Not every breakdown is an emergency. These are the situations where fast action genuinely prevents damage, spoiled food, or a safety risk.
Active Leaking or Flooding
A washer, dishwasher, or refrigerator actively leaking onto your floor risks real water damage the longer it runs.
Refrigerator or Freezer Stopped Cooling
An entire freezer's worth of food can spoil quickly once cooling stops. This is one of our top-priority calls.
Burning Smell or Smoke
Turn the appliance off immediately and unplug it if it's safe to reach. Call us right away.
Gas Smell Near a Range or Dryer
Follow the safety steps above before anything else. This is always treated as a priority call.
Sparking Appliance
Unplug it if safe to do so and don't use it again until it's inspected. Sparking is a fire risk.
Not an Emergency
A noisy dryer, a dishwasher leaving spots, or slow ice production can wait for our regular same-day repair service.
How long is food safe after a cooling failure?
Keep the doors closed as much as possible. A refrigerator that's stopped cooling generally keeps food safe for about 4 hours if left unopened, according to USDA guidance. A full freezer can hold a safe temperature for up to 48 hours if it stays closed. Every extra minute the door stays open shortens that window, so call us right away rather than repeatedly checking.

Common questions
Emergency Repair FAQs
What actually counts as an appliance emergency? +
Active leaking or flooding, a refrigerator or freezer that has stopped cooling, burning smells, sparking, or a gas odor near an appliance all qualify. A noisy or slow-performing appliance usually doesn't need emergency service.
Do you charge extra for emergency service? +
We give you a flat, upfront price before any repair starts, even for priority calls. There's no hidden emergency markup added after the fact.
How long is food safe after my fridge stops cooling? +
Generally about 4 hours for a refrigerator kept closed, and up to 48 hours for a full freezer kept closed, based on USDA guidance. Keep the doors shut as much as possible and call us right away.
Should I call you or the gas company first if I smell gas? +
Leave the building and call your gas utility company or 911 first. Only call us to diagnose and repair the appliance after the gas company confirms it's safe.
Do you offer emergency service every day of the week? +
Yes. We prioritize genuine emergency calls seven days a week across Clairton and the Mon Valley.
