Gas range with lit burners during a service check

The whole village fits in a little over half a square mile north of Harvard Avenue. Washington Park Boulevard curls around three sides of it and I-77 is the edge to the east. About 1,900 people call it home. Most of the houses went up before the war; the census figure for the median year built is 1938, which tells you plenty.

That age is the first thing our technician thinks about on the way over. Picture a brand new fridge on a ninety-year-old outlet. It can act broken when the real trouble is in the wall. Same goes for a gas range on a line nobody has opened up since Truman. We check the house side as well as the machine, and you get the price before any repair begins.

Two ZIP codes and a Cleveland address

44105Newburgh Heights, OH

Village Hall is over on Harvard in 44105. A slice of the village is 44127 instead. Both ZIPs are shared with Cleveland, so your bills might well say Cleveland, OH. We don't mind which name is on the envelope. Honestly we just need your street and house number.

Streets here are narrow and usually parked up on both sides, so if there's a spot where our van won't block anybody, say so when you call. We've circled enough blocks to appreciate it.

The drive from Parma runs about 19 minutes without traffic. If you know someone across the line in the city, our Cleveland appliance repair page covers those neighborhoods.

What a 1930s house does to new appliances

Laundry in these houses usually lives in the basement, down a staircase that was never meant for a 200-pound washer. That alone tips a lot of decisions toward repair. Down there we also look at the shutoff valves, since old ones like to seize. One that snaps turns a washer call into a plumbing call in about a second.

Dryers want a solid outlet. A 240-volt receptacle that's loose or scorched will chew through cords and thermal fuses, so if we see one, we tell you before we touch the dryer. Kitchens are tight as well. Shove a fridge tight against the cabinets with nothing open above it and it'll run and run, because the heat it pulls out of the food has no place to go.

Old panels trip (or blow a fuse) more often than you'd guess. Peek at yours before calling us, since a reset is free and we'd hate to charge you for flipping a switch.

Common repairs in Newburgh Heights homes

None of these are unique to the village. They're simply what you'd expect from appliances living in pre-war houses, and any technician who has worked in old Cleveland neighborhoods will recognize them.

Washer won't drain

Old basements tend to send the washer's hose into a laundry tub, or into a pipe next to the floor drain. Lint in the tub drain backs water up, and the washer then stops partway through with a code. We test the pump only after ruling that out.

Gas burner won't light

All that ticking without a flame tends to come from a dirty or cracked igniter, or grease in the burner ports. On older ranges, a weak oven igniter is a regular culprit when the oven won't heat at all.

Fridge warm on top

Coils on the bottom or back clogged with dust, or a fan that stopped turning. In a narrow kitchen nook, airflow around the cabinet matters as much as any part inside.

Dryer that needs two cycles

When the duct crosses the whole basement ceiling, lint piles up inside it over the years. So the dryer gets hot and the clothes still come out damp. Eventually a fuse quits. Cleaning the duct often fixes it before any part is needed.

For more on what old wiring and pipes do to appliances, read appliance problems in older Cleveland homes. Laundry trouble has its own page, washer repair.

Half the village rents

About half of households in Newburgh Heights rent, many of them in older doubles and single houses. When the stove or fridge was there before you moved in, the owner normally sets up the repair. We'll talk to whoever books, then send the price to whoever pays. Who pays for repairs in a rental explains the usual rules.

Discounts and the warranty

A veteran or a senior saves $30 on the visit. If it's your first time with us, that's $20 off instead, since only one discount applies. Every repair we make is covered for 90 days, parts and labor.

Newburgh Heights repair questions

Mostly about old houses and shared ZIP codes.

(216) 352-3935

How quickly can you get to Newburgh Heights?

Under nine miles from our base in Parma, so about 19 minutes on a quiet road. Weekday mornings are your best bet for a same-afternoon visit.

My address says Cleveland 44105. Is that Newburgh Heights?

It may be. 44105 and 44127 are shared between the village and Cleveland. We cover both, so it doesn't matter for booking. Give us the street and number.

Is it worth fixing a washer in an old basement?

Usually. Getting a new machine down those stairs and the old one out is hard work. Swapping a pump or a lid switch is a fraction of that, and you'll know the price before we start.

Can old wiring damage my appliances?

A worn or loose outlet can burn plugs and overheat parts like dryer fuses. If our technician sees a scorched receptacle, you'll hear about it. The house side of that is a job for an electrician.

I rent in Newburgh Heights. Should I call you or my landlord?

Check the lease. If the appliance came with the unit, the landlord usually handles the repair. We're happy to work with either of you.

Do you fix gas ranges and dryers?

Yes, both. On gas models we start with the igniter and then the valve. If you ever smell gas, get everyone outside and phone the gas utility or 911 from the sidewalk first.
