After being told by an ABT service person that our GE Profile refrigerator was trashed by a worn-compressor that would cost thousands to replace, George diagnosed a circulation fan motor was at fault and replaced it for a couple hundred dollars. This the guy who will come to fix things in a snowstorm because he wants to take care of a customer. read more

George was responsive and follow through with his service call to get our washer fixed same day. Thank you

George is wonderful. He was willing to service our air conditioner the next day...6:00 P.M. on a Friday. The first company we had look at it said we needed a new unit and wanted to charge us close to $2000. George took a look at the unit, said it was dirty, cleaned it for us, refilled the coolant and charged us $185. He then did a quick look at our appliances (we just bought our place and he also repairs all major appliances) and gave us advice on how to keep them clean so we could keep our maintenance to a minimum. We will definitely use George for all of our heating, cooling, and appliance needs! read more

5 star does not do George justice. My older GE washer was not throwing water out so the water would fill and just sit (and smell). I looked up George on Yelp, called him around 3pm, he showed up at 6:30 after leaving another job (on a Saturday), and not only fixed my original problem of the water filling but also made the water fill faster in the water and at a more fuller stream. All for $150. Easy and knows what he's doing, definitely an honest businessman. He only takes cash or check. read more

I talked to George about the problem with my refrigerator. Geroge gets 5 stars and he did not even have to come out to fix it ! So how did he earn his 5 stars? Simple. He told me after figuring on the cost to repair, the age of the fridg, and the price of a new fridg, I would be better off buying a new one. What motivated me to give him such a high rating was his honesty. He could have just as easily had come out to take my money knowing that in the near future other more serious problems could be forthcoming. The fridg is 12 years old, and the price to repair is about a third of the cost for a new one. I appreciate that honesty for sure. Bottom line: If he is that honest about not wanting to take my money and tell me I would be better off in buying a new fridg, then I have to think that he would do a good and honest job at repairing any fridg if it was needed. read more

This is going to be super short and sweet. George is an amazing honest man. I've never met the guy in person but my fridge went out and I called George to schedule an appointment to have him come in and fix the fridge before I had a smelly hot mess all over my apartment. He answered my call at the oddest time of day (9:00pm) and asked me what the problem was. I explained the problem over the phone and he told me what I needed to do. I did just that and before I knew it my fridge was working. Woohoo!!! I called back (around 10:00pm) and told him that everything was working and appreciate his help, how much was it and where should I send him the check. He was stocked I was going to pay him and he said, "Oh don't worry I did not do a thing." I was amazed and could not thank him enough for the tips and saving my food from going bad. George is a honest guy and totally saved the day and food! read more

So happy! I called George on a Saturday because I thought my refrigerator was dying. He came on Monday evening when I was available. Cost was $90 for visit and thorough cleaning of the coils. Turns out the issue was a piece of cardboard that was hitting the condenser fan. I learned quite a bit. George does stoves and dishwashers, too. He is my go-to guy! read more

This morning, around 7am, I woke up to find my fridge wasn't cooling properly. I googled "Chicago Appliance Repair" and called the first top rated place I saw. There I spoke to a nice receptionist that took my info and told me a repairman would call back shortly. I didn't know how long it would take, so I kept looking and came across this page for George. I called him about 7:30 and he picked up himself. Not some receptionist or dispatcher, but the guy that would come out to fix the problem. He asked a few questions, then told me he could be there by 10am. I called into work and waited. At 9:13am, George called and said he was out front and asked if I was home. He immediately got to work, and diagnosed the problem as a bad thermostat. He luckily had the part in his van. Then he discovered the fan motor had burnt out and should be replaced. He did not have this part on hand, but drove up to Evanston to a supplier and found it. By 12:00pm, a mere 4.5 hours after I called him, my fridge was cold and he was on his way out. I will absolutely call George for any other appliance problem I may have. P.S - The other company has yet to call me back, and it approx. 3:00pm now.... read more

The Yelp App helped me find George this week when my fridge stopped blowing cold air. At first his nonchalance to my issue put me off, however I soon realized in his world, my problem was not a big deal. I called at 1:30pm, described the problem, and he said he would be there at 5pm. He was about 10 min early! He showed up with his wire clippers and a new part. That's it. He swapped out one part (condenser overload capacitor), the condenser kicked on, and the fridge worked like new. The capacitor that he pulled out was small, but the capacitor that he put in was huge. Overkill? Maybe, but at least I won't have to replace the same part ever again. The bill was $175 and he gave me a great recommendation on a restaurant in Old Town - Old Jerusalem. Well done George, you're the man. read more

George is a solid guy. Very honest and knowledgeable repair man. Pretty funny too!

Wow! Amazing customer service! Our refrigerator went out on a weekend and he literally came to our condo 30mins after calling! Very responsive and professional. I would recommend calling him for any refrigerator repair. read more

George came when he said he would and fixed the fridge. He is friendly and my dog liked him too. read more

My fridge was not getting cold, but my freezer was. My water/ice dispenser hasn't been working for a while now. I used a hair dryer a few months back to thaw out the back of my freezer and it worked, but it happened again so I went online and decided to call George. He came over and basically did the same thing as me. He told me my sensor was broken and that he had to order one for me which was about $240. In the meantime, he told me to keep plugging/unplugging the fridge every hour or so. Ended up my fridge is working now and I told him to cancel the part. My water/ice still isn't working, but he says it's the computer sensor board. I don't know! He was nice and he did try to give me some knowledge on appliances, but I think he is more old school. I think if you have the older model fridge, give him a call. He's not too keen on the new technology. read more

Called George on a Sunday for fridge repair. He did troubleshooting by phone to try to save me a trip. When this didn't fix the issue I called him back and he called and came promptly. Quickly diagnosed the issue, repaired it and charged a fair price. I am handy and also experienced with plenty of services. My advice: Don't call anyone else; George does it! read more

George picked up the phone very early in the morning when I expected I would have to leave a message. He walked me through some initial troubleshooting steps for my fridge and afterwards already had a good idea what the problem was. He showed up later that morning and fixed the problem within a few minutes, cleaned the area and gave me some pointers on how to get many more years of good service out of my appliance. Very professional, efficient and friendly! read more

George came same day I called about my refrigerator That was heating up pretty bad. He Knew right away what's he's dealing with. He even showed me a trick on how to save my fridge and not to burn the Compressor ( a 600$ mistake) that was over heating and not cooling fast enough. He came next day & change the cooling fan motor quick. read more

George's Refrigeration - Appliances & Repair Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have used George twice for my refrigerator and dishwasher. He responds very fast and charges an extremely fair price.

George is great. (He repairs all appliances not just fridges) His prices are fair and he's a very calm guy who works & explains things very carefully. I think he's my new go-to guy for appliance repair. I had an oldie but goodie stackable washer dryer (13 yrs old) and had been told by other repair guy that it is a good unit and that I should not race to replace it since it's sturdier than the new ones. George let me bring a part I had purchased on E-bay for $60 - he checked it out (it's under warranty too) pronounced it fit for duty, and then installed it for me. Another repair guy wanted to sell me a new one - (wouldn't install used part) That would have been about $230 for new part and the install about $120. I saved over $200 dollars this way...thanks George. Hope i dont need to see you THAT often ; ) but its good to know you're there! read more

Woke up this morning to our fridge not really cooling anymore. What a great way to star the day, right!?!? So I got on my trusty yelp, found george and gave him a call. He asked me few questions about the problem and the make and model of our fridge. He said he couldn't come until the afternoon, but that if we were going to be around, he might be able to come a little earlier...well, he was and ended up at our house only an hour and a half after we called him! I was so impressed. He quickly went to work and fixed the problem...he also fixed my ice maker which had been broken for some time now...yes! He finished it all in under 30 minutes and now our fridge is working beautifully. I am thrilled with the entire transaction and would recommend George's services to anyone who needs them. It's great to be able to find such a professional so quickly and easily. read more

Walked into a smelly apartment last night after a trip to Europe to find my refrigerator dead as a doornail. Nothing like throwing out food while jet lagged! Much praise and gratitude to my new best friend George of George's Refrigeration who showed up two hours after I called this morning, replaced a few parts and has restored me to the world of blissful refrigeration. Yippee! read more

George was awesome. Called about a broken ice maker, and he showed up an hour later. Diagnosed the problem, left to grab the replacement part, returned, and fixed it all within an hour of his arrival. Fast, professional, and reasonably priced. I'd highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks George! read more

This guy was a condescending asshole. I called because our fridge is leaking some kind of fluid that is NOT food-related, and he wouldn't even schedule a visit to check, and kept insisting it had to be a cleaning problem. read more

I would give 10 stars if possible! My stainless steel GE (5 yrs old) freezer and fridge were not remaining cool during the past week, but interestingly enough it would start working in the evening/night. First, I called GE, but would have to wait almost a week before someone could service my appliance. So after reading the rave reviews on Yelp I called George to describe my problem and make an appointment. He offered the solution over the phone at no cost! I tried it and their solution worked. I am greatful for the troubleshooting over the phone. I hope his knowledge, honesty and great service continue to serve his business well. If I were to encounter a fridge problem again, I would immediately call George and recommend you do the same. read more

Excellent service. My frigidaire fridge broke, and I called first thing in the morning. I was told that although George was out of town, I would be called back by Arian. An hour or so later Arian called (I later discovered he actually works with Norhwest HVAC refrigeration, but they must have a reciprocal arrangement to assist each other), and he arranged to come round to take a look around 2pm - which he did. He took about 20 mins to diagnose the problem (a burnt out starter motor), and another 20 minutes to fix it, and clean up. He couldn't have been nicer. It cost $245 all in. read more

Geez, I want to stop reviewing George. Not because he sucks, obviously, but because I am effing sick of having to pay to fix things at our condo! That said, our A/C stopped working on one of the hottest days to date. This was pretty bad as we live on the top floor, and as we all learned in basic science, heat rises. Ugh. We called George and he showed up within 2 hours. He brought my husband with him on the roof, and showed him exactly what was wrong...our electronic panel was fried, and was even sparking occasionally. Eek! George had a panel on hand and installed it quickly. We paid the price of the panel plus labor (which was reasonable). He also recharged our freon for free. Can't beat that! read more

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! I called George at 11:00 am and he told me he could be at our condo by noon. After having two people attempt to fix our furnace, he was able to fix it within 10 minutes and it was done properly! He also fixed our garbage disposal within a minute which hadn't worked in over 6 months (no joke). He charged us a very reasonable rate. We were pleasantly surprised: $90 for everything. read more

George is awesome. This guy has fixed my a/c , dishwasher and washer dryer. He is really fast, smart, efficient and has reasonable prices. I can not recommend George enough. Call him for sure!!! read more

I called George when my fridge stopped working. He answered the phone himself, asked a few questions so he could bring the right parts with him, and had my fridge fixed within an hour of him getting to my house. This guy was courteous and direct, and did a quality job. He also came to my neighborhood when other repairmen (that were highly rated on Yelp, incidentally) refused to, so I appreciate him even more! I highly recommend him!! read more

George moves fast, scheduled an appointment the same day I called in, diagnosed the problem quickly, very reasonable with his suggestion to fix, and quickly made the repair. We had a whirlpool fridge that lost its cool. George identified that the fan got stuck because of ice build up. No new parts, just a quick repair for $115. Very happy to get this done asap. thanks George read more

We quickly realized that our refrigerator had stopped working. We called another refrigerator repairman that was listed on Yelp, he couldn't make it until 2 days later. Not wanting to lose all of our food, we then called George. 45 minutes later, George arrived at our door. He went quickly to work and found the problem in a matter of minutes. It took approximately one hour from beginning to end and George was really great about cleaning up while he worked so we didn't have a mess on our hands. Professional, quick, reasonable prices. Highly recommended. read more

I would give George ten stars if I could. He is dedicated and hardworking. I have never witnessed a person exhibit so much pride in the work they do. Thanks a million, George! read more

Oh, the joys (and pains) of home ownership... So, I get home from Portillo's the other night and decide to get some ice for my root beer. I go into the freezer, and everything is thawed out. The ice, chicken, frozen pizzas, everything! The refrigerator stopped cooling. Not good. I wasted a day waiting on another repair guy, and decided to consult Yelp to see if there were any good reviews on refrigerator repair people. Yelp didn't fail - I found George, called him, he came over within 2 hours of the call, and fixed my refrigerator. On top of that, he was pleasant and professional. I was so scared that I was going to have to buy another refrigerator & didn't want to deal with the headache- I didn't have to. My total charge was only $170. Now, that's what I'm talking about. George will now be my new appliance fix-it guy. read more

Great service! George came out the same day and was accommodating enough to come late in the evening. He was patient with the service as it took over an hour for my fridge to defrost. He then changed the part, gave me other tips and even helped me move my fridge and clean the back (dust gathering there can effect the compressor). Had some interesting conversations while we waited for the defrosting. $180 for every thing ($69 visit + $96 part + $14 parking) read more

George was fast, friendly, and affordable. He fixed my ice machine in 15 minutes and then looked at and fixed two other random house issues for free that I couldn't handle in my yuppy-ignorance. read more

We called George this morning at 10:45am, based on other positive reviews, because our refrigerator had stopped working. He came to our home within 20 minutes of reaching out to him because he was in the neighborhood! It's not even an hour later, and our fridge is fixed and we only spent $95 for him to show us the issue, fix it, and prevent it from happening again. Much better than spending $1500 on a new fridge. Plus, he is super pleasant. Couldn't be more pleased. read more

This guy is great! I called this at 7.30 on a Saturday night and told them what my problem was. He knew more about my kitchen than I did and I've lived here for 2 years! Wonderful service! Problem fixed in less than one minute read more

I scheduled an appointment to have my refrigerator looked at. Scheduled it about a week ago and today the person was a No show and no call. Not very professional. I just scheduled the service to be done through Sears. read more

We have used George twice and both times he has been prompt, courteous, and professional. Not only did he do a great job on the refrigerator, he also gave us some saving tips on the dishwasher, washer and dryer. Compared to others, his prices are excellent. Highly recommend. read more

George is a hard working good guy. He squeezed me in, I missed his call, he made an effort to come back at 6:30 pm and took care of business quickly. I highly recommend him. read more

George was able to detect and solve the problem and finish the job within an hour, tops! We paid $210 which included visit, labor, AND part. Def recommend. Very professional. (btw, we called and described the problem the day before and he came prepared with the part he thought would fix the problem). read more
