Idyllwild Appliance & Repair

Idyllwild Appliance & Repair holds a 4.9-star rating across 35 reviews, serving Idyllwild-Pine Cove and surrounding areas from their mountain-area base. For over 30 years, the team has handled heating systems, propane systems, and general household appliance repairs. Their shop operates Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5 PM, providing scheduled service for residents who need reliable repairs without traveling to the valley below.

What distinguishes this contractor is their commitment to thoroughness before any installation begins. One reviewer described a detailed reconnaissance visit where the technician photographed a challenging basement access area, work a non-local company would skip. They sell Bradford White water heaters, a brand not available at big-box stores, and provide written estimates that reviewers describe as accurate to the penny. This pre-job investigation approach extends to their appliance work, where technicians diagnose issues rather than recommending unnecessary replacements.

Reviewers consistently describe specific scenarios where Mike, the primary technician, delivered results other contractors could not achieve. When one customer's oven failed before a long weekend, Mike squeezed them in the same day. Another homeowner expected to purchase a new water heater but Mike identified a repairable problem, saving the cost of a full replacement. A third reviewer called Mike after an out-of-code water heater installation that multiple contractors refused to touch, Mike completed the job thoroughly and brought the installation up to standard.
