When appliances go wrong -- finding a quality refrigerator repair ...











Our modern homes are stacked full of everyday appliances we've come to rely on. In fact, we tend to only realize how much we value them when something goes wrong. And we all know what a headache broken down appliances can be. For starters, you're immediately inconvenienced.

Let's take a refrigerator as an example. Your food is in danger of perspiring now that it's not in a chilled environment. Then you have the hassle of finding an engineer to fix the problem. You check your warranty first of all hoping to find a chink of light.

Once you've come across someone you feel is suitability qualified there can be a long wait before they arrive. Perhaps you couldn't find anyone in your area. Maybe they've got a ton of work on and there's no chance of seeing them anytime soon.

Meanwhile, you're stuck at home desperately trying to get hold of a neighbor so that you can transfer your refrigerable items. Does this scenario sound familiar?

It needn't be the case. No. You don't have to suffer as the result of a faulty fridge. You just need to find a quality refrigerator repair service.

Making an impression

Great service starts right from the moment you make the initial phone call to a repair company. A friendly approach and a quick response should be the norm and not additional extras.

And once you hear that knock on the door or the bell ring, a smiling face should greet you. Sure, the technician is there to get to work. But a polite manner doesn't cost anything.

OK, that's enough sentiment. We all care about the bottom line too. That company might send someone round in double-quick time and have you fixed up within a few hours.

However, what if, you end up paying too much for these ?luxuries'? Don't get caught out. If you're dealing with experts who really value your custom then you'll receive a fair and competitive quotation.

No job too small

Of course, you don't have to wait for a complete breakdown before you call in an appliance repair company.

Why leave things to chance? If you notice a problem developing make sure you keep on top of things.

If a refrigerator door is sticking and won't shut properly it's time to seek out expert advice. The joy of finding a quality repair service is that no job will be too small. You might even have an issue that can be easily remedied with a do-it-yourself solution.

And a reputable firm won't be shy in sharing their knowledge on how best to maintain your appliances.

No one wants the hassle of having to fix faulty equipment around the home. But sometimes calling out a repair company is unavoidable. That's why it's important to deal with professionals who can fulfill their promises and deliver a high-quality service.

Certain jobs might not require as much technical expertise as others. However, no matter how big or small a task is the standards you expect should be the same. This is a fact not lost on the best in their field.

Greinke dominates Mets to end road skid

By HOWIE RUMBERG

NEW YORK (AP) - Ryan Braun had a fresh pink welt on his left triceps, where he was hit one pitch after Rickie Weeks launched a long home run in the seventh inning.

He barely felt it.

Zack Greinke's seven stellar innings and Travis Ishikawa's two homers and five RBIs in the Milwaukee Brewers' 8-0 win over the New York Mets on Tuesday night were quite the pain reliever for the NL MVP.

"It's fine," Braun said of his arm.

Greinke (4-1) was more than fine for his second straight outing. He allowed five hits, struck out seven and walked none while extending his scoreless streak to 15 innings.

"Control's been good, the last two starts. That's the main key," Greinke said. "It's mainly just being able to throw quality strikes."

Weeks' drive to deep left snapped an 0-for-21 skid and touched off an ugly moment. Mets reliever D.J. Carrasco then hit Braun with his next pitch and was immediately ejected by plate umpire Gary Darling.

"I didn't like it. I don't understand it," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said.

Mets manager Terry Collins pinch hit for David Wright leading off the bottom half. Wright had two of the Mets' hits off Greinke, a double and a broken-bat single in the fourth inning - a shard of wood whirling past Greinke.

"It was interesting what that shows," Roenicke said of Collins lifting Wright - and also David Murphy two batters later.

Collins and Wright had a discussion in the dugout before he was due up. Wright wanted to bat but Collins was not going to put his .408-hitting star in a dangerous position.

"He said, `If somebody should be hit, it's me,"' Collins said. "I said it's not going to be you."

Braun understood both sides of the argument.

"I respect the fact that he wanted to stay in the game," Braun said. "I don't fault them for making that decision at all."

Tim Dillard worked the eighth and John Axford gave up a hit in the ninth while finishing the six-hitter. It was Axford's first appearance since his string of 49 straight saves ended Friday night and he left a note of apology to the media in the clubhouse when he went to be with his wife, who was having contractions.

Ishikawa led off the fifth with his third homer of the year and connected for a three-run shot in the sixth, both drives coming on the first pitch of the at-bat against Dillon Gee (2-3). He also had a run-scoring groundout in the second inning as fog started rolling in, a misty haze that hung over the outfield for the remainder of the game.

"He's been throwing a lot of strikes," said Ishikawa, who has been platooning at first base since Mat Gamel tore a ligament in his right knee in early May. "I didn't want to get deep into the count."

The Mets had a chance to move six games over .500 for the first time since July 18, 2010, but managed little against Greinke.

The Mets did not make an out to the outfield against Greinke. Only Wright and pinch-hitter Mike Baxter, who doubled to left in the sixth, reached second.

Greinke came in 30-46 away from home - he is 80-74 overall. His only poor start this season came at the Chicago Cubs, when he gave up eight runs.

"I'm just trying to keep the same mindset," Greinke said about pitching on the road as compared to home. "I'm trying to make that better. You're just a little more comfortable at home."

The Brewers gave Greinke an early lead on Ishikawa's groundout and Cesar Izturis' RBI single. Ishikawa homered off the "Wise Snacks" sign above the New York bullpen in right-center on the first pitch of the fifth inning.

Braun and Aramis Ramirez singled off Gee to start the sixth. Jonathan Lucroy had a one-out RBI single before Ishikawa hit another long ball for the first multihomer game of his career. Ishikawa added a third hit in the eighth, an infield single.

Weeks returned to the Brewers' starting lineup after being limited to one pinch-hit at-bat in three games because of a bruised hand. He struck out twice and grounded to shortstop before getting his first hit since May 6.

Gee was very upset after giving up 10 hits and four runs in 5 2-3 innings in his previous start. This one was worse. He matched a season high by allowing seven runs and yielded eight hits in 5 1-3 innings. Gee has not won in three starts.

"Mistakes that he makes are in the middle of the plate," Collins said.

NOTES: Brewers OF Carlos Gomez (strained left hamstring) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Class-A Wisconsin on Wednesday. Roenicke said he should be back Sunday. ... Major League Baseball will officially name the Mets host of the 2013 All-Star game at Citi Field with a ceremony at City Hall on Wednesday morning. ... Murphy singled in the fifth to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 11 games.

Consumers may soon be able to test themselves for HIV and quickly learn the results in the privacy of their own homes following?a unanimous approval?recommendation from a Food and Drug Administration advisory committee on Tuesday. The panel?said the OraQuick In-Home HIV Test should be made available over-the-counter?(OTC) saying the test is safe and effective and that the benefits far outweigh the potential risks. If approved by the FDA, the test will be the first OTC test to be marketed for HIV or any infectious disease. ?FDA advisory committee recommendations are not binding, but they are generally followed. An estimated 1.2 million Americans are living with HIV,? according to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention .? One in five?of those are unaware of their HIV status.? And about 50,000 new cases of HIV?are reported each year. OraSure?Technologies, Inc., ?the manufacturer of this new test, also makes the already approved OraQuick ADVANCE Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test. That test can only be used in a clinical setting and results are provided in 20 minutes.? The In-home test is a modified version?where the individual swabs the upper and lower gums with a test pad device.? That device is then?inserted into a vial of solution. Much like a pregnancy test, one line shows up if the test is negative, two lines means?it's ?positive. The kit includes step-by-step instructions on when to test, how to set-up and administer the test, and how to?interpret the results. The company also provides information on how to follow-up?on the results through OraQuick's Answer Center for support and local medical referral is also provided. The center is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. "The test is designed to be comprehensive across a broad range of literacy levels," said Stephen Lee, OraSure's executive vice president and chief science officer. "It enables use in a variety of testing environments." According to Lee the test has a high degree of accuracy and 93% sensitivity.? In clinical studies the test proved 99.98% effective in determining who did not have the virus.? Panelists were concerned about making sure there was comprehensive language in the kit regarding a testing window. Specifically, you must wait 3 months between high risk behaviors before testing.? Another major concern was the risk of false positives and false negatives. But for the 25 or so health care professional and HIV/AIDS advocates that addressed the panel, imploring the committee to vote for approval, those risks did not outweigh the opportunity to expand public access to testing and reduce the number of infections by making sure people know their HIV status.? That a test could be done in the privacy of their own homes was seen as an added bonus ? and a way to address the stigma surrounding HIV.? Nobody requested that the test should not be approved. "We need to do whatever we need to move the needle of the number of people who don't know their status," said Whitney Cordova of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation . "This test helps do that. The perfect cannot be the enemy of the good." "It is clear OTC is not the right way to be tested for everyone," said Tom Donohue, Jr., founder of Who's Positive . "OTC is another tool.? OTC has the potential to reach a far greater number of individuals who want to know their HIV status on their own terms.? It's time for everyone to know their HIV status. It's time to give people tools without barriers to know their status." If the OraQuick In-Home HIV Test gets final FDA approval, hopes are high that this new tool will be instrumental in helping to reduce infection rates in the U.S. and globally. There are "1.2 million people living with AIDS in the U.S. ? and 20% don't know it. This is a ticking time bomb," said Frank Oldham, president and CEO of the National Association of People With AIDS . "We need more weapons to reduce HIV infections and we are morally obligated to bring this test to market and reduce the spread HIV." Cornelius Baker, technical adviser for the? FHI 360 Center on AIDS & Community Health , ? underscored the value of testing at home with rapid results. "This is especially important for those who will not seek testing in a public place or who need the convenience because of geography or time to test more frequently with this new method," Baker said. "If we are to win the battle against the HIV epidemic, we need to employ multiple strategies. While [this is]?not a product that every person will use or need, this in-home test is one more contribution to helping every American become part of ending AIDS in the United States." FDA presenters clearly felt the test had merit. "Greater access to testing will potentially lead to more people knowing their HIV status." said Dr. Elliot Cowan, who spoke on behalf of the?FDA. "It appears there is a benefit in increasing the number of?HIV positive people who know their status. There is public health impact and personal health impact." OraSure?Executives seemed confident of approval calling it a momentous day for public health. "We plan to work with the FDA over the coming months to refine product label enhancements," said Douglas Michaels, the company's president and CEO. "And as quickly as we can get that done will determine how quickly we can get the product to retailers." Michaels says they have not yet finalized their pricing, but will sell the test to retailers at a discount and ultimately retailers will set the price. Filed under: HIV/AIDS Tagged: Saundra Young ?
