Rockdale County, Georgia, is one of the smallest counties in the state by area, lying east of Atlanta along I-20, about twenty-five miles from downtown. Conyers is its only city and its county seat, with the brick storefronts and railroad tracks of Olde Town Conyers at its heart. Around it, the county mixes suburbs and open land: subdivisions off Sigman Road, Salem Road, Highway 138 and Flat Shoals Road, older homes on large lots, and wooded hills toward the South River. The Georgia International Horse Park, built for the equestrian events of the 1996 Olympic Games, the Monastery of the Holy Spirit and parts of Panola Mountain State Park are among its best-known places. Appliance Repair Doctors make house calls throughout Rockdale County. We test before we repair, explain the result in plain words and start work only after you agree.

Homes outside the city limits are served on the same schedule as Conyers.
refrigerators in Rockdale kitchens, basements and garages that lose cold, sweat or puddle.
chest and upright freezers in garages, basements and outbuildings.
ice makers that go quiet, spill water or freeze into a solid lump.
wine fridges and beverage coolers in kitchens and dens.
gas and electric ovens that will not heat or overshoot the setting.
gas, coil, glass and induction ranges and cooktops.
Suburban subdivisions. Many neighborhoods date from the 1980s through the 2000s, with appliances now on their second or third set.
Older homes on big lots. Farmhouses and ranches outside the city often keep a freezer in a shed, a barn or a detached garage.
Basements on sloping lots. Hilly terrain means many houses have basements, where second refrigerators and freezers sit in cooler, damper air.
Commuters on I-20. Many residents drive west into Atlanta on weekdays, and a failure may go unnoticed until evening.
Storms and tall trees. Wooded hills and long rural lines mean outages in summer storms.
We listen. When did the problem start? Is it steady or on and off? Anything unusual beforehand, like a storm?
We measure. Compartment temperatures, airflow at the evaporator and condenser, oven preheat time and temperature swing, burner flames and element glow.
We test. Fans, defrost heaters and sensors, thermistors, door switches, water valves, igniters, elements, relays and boards go under the meter. In older homes we also check the outlet. Anything involving refrigerant is handled by an EPA 608 certified technician.
We explain and repair. You see the reading behind the diagnosis. With your approval, genuine or OEM-approved parts go in and the numbers are rechecked. Rockdale repairs carry a warranty of up to 6 months for parts and labor.
Rockdale's rolling terrain gives many houses a full or partial basement. Those rooms stay cool, which sounds good for a freezer, but in summer they can turn humid, and in winter some can get cold enough to confuse a thermostat. The result is frost, sweating cabinets and long run times. Keep the unit a few inches from the wall, test the gasket with a sheet of paper and run a dehumidifier if the room smells musty. If frost keeps returning, we test the gasket, the defrost heater, the sensor and the control.
Outside Conyers, many properties keep a chest freezer or an extra refrigerator in an outbuilding. In summer, those spaces get far hotter than the house; in winter, they can be cold enough that a kitchen-rated unit stops cycling. Shade the unit from direct sun through an open door, keep the coil clean, give it room to breathe and plug it into its own outlet, not an extension cord. If it warms up anyway, we test the start parts, the fans and the controls and tell you plainly whether the model suits the space.
In and around Olde Town Conyers, some houses have stood for many decades, and their kitchens have been updated more than once. A modern refrigerator may now fill an alcove built for a smaller model, and a new range may rely on an outlet or a gas connection that has aged with the house. Our technician looks at the space around the appliance and measures the outlet before blaming any component. If the trouble is in the house rather than the appliance, you will hear that directly, so an electrician or plumber can take care of it and you do not pay for parts you do not need.
When the refrigerator fails during a workday and nobody notices until after the drive home on I-20, check the food with a thermometer before throwing it out. Perishables above 40°F for over two hours should go; frozen food that still has ice crystals can usually stay. Keep the doors shut overnight, pack a cooler, and ask for the first slot the next day.
We repair GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Hotpoint, Samsung, LG, KitchenAid, Haier, Bosch, Electrolux and Midea, plus Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, Thermador and Monogram. These names describe our work; we have no tie to any manufacturer.
A refrigerator or range with one worn-out part and a solid body is usually worth fixing. When an older refrigerator's sealed system has failed, or several expensive parts are worn at once, replacement may make more sense. We give you the test results and our honest view, and you choose.
Besides Conyers, we make house calls in Milstead, Honey Creek, the neighborhoods near Black Shoals Park and Lake Capri, and the rural areas toward the South River and the Newton County line. Your ZIP code in the form settles the question in seconds.
Dial (470) 570-7920, or drop a note in the form about the appliance and what it does. We will set a time, test it, explain what failed and repair it after you agree. Office: 4370 Peachtree Rd NE, Brookhaven, GA 30319.
Yes, the whole county, city and countryside alike. The form confirms your ZIP code, or phone (470) 570-7920.
Rockdale County visits are available for the same or the next day; early requests have the most openings.
Humid basement air through a worn gasket, or a defrost fault. We test both.
Often. The technician checks the start relay, the overload and the thermostat, and says honestly whether the unit belongs in an unheated space.
Usually not. Surges often damage a relay or a board, and both can be replaced.
Half a year at most, on the parts we put in and the work we did.
Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Send the form at midnight if you like; the reply comes once the office opens.
No. We are an independent, family-owned repair company.
