X Appliance Inc.Who we work with / Airbnbs & rentals
Appliance repair for Airbnbs, cottages and rentals
A fridge that quits or a washer that won't drain between guests can cost you a booking. We work with hosts, cottage owners and property managers along Lake Erie, from Selkirk to Port Dover, and across Haldimand County, Hamilton, Brantford and nearby.

Fixed between guests, even when you're not there
Cottages and short-term rentals are a big part of our work, especially around Selkirk and Port Dover. Most hosts aren't on site when something breaks, so we sort it out with you remotely: tell us how access works, we diagnose the problem, and you get the flat-rate estimate before any repair.
Rentals are hard on appliances. Washers and dryers run load after load of sheets and towels, fridges get opened constantly, and dryer vents fill with lint faster than at home. Our vent cleaning visits clean the vent and the inside of the dryer.
We also do cottage closing visits in the fall and opening visits in the spring, so the appliances are shut down and started up properly. Our cottage checklist covers what to do yourself.

Laundry that keeps up
Washers, dryers and dryer vent cleaning, including cleaning and greasing inside the dryer.

If a guest reports a burning smell, stop using that appliance and have it checked. Our cottage checklist has a real story about why.

Such a pleasant experience with these guys! They were able to repair my leaking refrigerator in an hour and the cost was very reasonable.
We were having a little problem with our dryer and I called in for solution. The next day Wes solved the problem. I will definitely recommend him.
