Today Puls is publishing its first annual National Appliance Repair Report, with the goal of educating consumers on how much they should pay for appliance repairs and when they should expect to repair or replace a major appliance. The report also includes recommendations from our nationwide network of technicians about which appliance brands are most reliable and easy to use. In developing the report, we used our proprietary data to unearth insights for consumers.

Pretty much every element of your household can be enhanced with home automation these days – from a camera-equipped smart refrigerator that lets you peek inside via your smartphone to help create a shopping list while you’re out of the house, to smart lighting systems that illuminate your space in a myriad of dazzling, fully customizable options. You can even control your entire smart home network with a voice-driven smart assistant such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home.

Amazon’s increasingly popular voice assistant, Alexa, makes a myriad of everyday tasks around the house an absolute breeze. The smart speaker is a fantastic means of entertaining company, kids, and streamlining just about everything we need at home.

Mounting flat screen televisions to the wall has been trendy for about a decade now—and we hope the trend is here to stay. Not only is it space-saving, but it also gives your room a sleek, uncluttered look and enhances your overall viewing experience.

By now, most people have at least heard of Amazon Alexa, the increasingly ubiquitous digital assistant from the retail giant – though not everyone may be aware of the extent of Alexa’s capabilities, or even what it is. In short, Alexa powers that familiar woman’s voice that comes out of integrated devices such as smart speakers to answer your queries, perform tasks, and provide entertainment.

Getting new stuff is always fun. Getting new kitchen appliances can be even more exciting with all the great time-saving and energy-saving features built into today's models.

The Ring Video Doorbell is not only a pretty nifty device (especially if you’re like us and you can’t get enough gadgets), but it also makes us feel more safe and secure at home or when we’re away from our home. But like any other piece of equipment or technology that you add to your home, the Ring Video Doorbell can be tricky to install, and if it was done incorrectly then it won’t work—meaning that you won’t be able to properly use it for security (and let’s face it, to see if any neighborhood feral cats come to your door).

Today’s televisions are bigger, lighter, and clearer than ever before—the old 32”, 40” and 50” flat-panel screens are being replaced so that 60”, 70”, and even 90” TVs are becoming more common. They provide more high-definition entertainment too—streaming, gaming, music, and of course, TV programming. With smaller, light-weight components, these mega-sized marvels are easier to mount on the wall, so we’ve put together a step-by-step guide on “how to mount a TV” if you want to do it all yourself. Not to worry if the job seems a little intimidating, a Puls’ technician can take care of all the heavy lifting for you with a same-day appointment.

It can be pretty tempting to just keep using your phone as usual if you’ve got a cracked phone screen – after all, you may not want to drop the extra cash or run out and get it fixed in the middle of the workday. Add to that the fact that the damage may appear minor at first, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for procrastination – not that most of us need much help putting off a chore.

Your fridge’s primary job is to keep all of your food safe, cold, and available for you to enjoy throughout the day. So, when your Samsung refrigerator suddenly stops cooling and all of the food in your fridge is at risk of spoiling, your first move is to figure out how to fix the problem (well, maybe after you finish off the leftovers and the ice cream before it melts).

At Puls, we’re pretty proud of the fact that we’ve become one of the most popular options around when it comes to cell phone repair. We’ve got great coverage over lots of locations, convenient service, and highly-qualified technicians that go through a strict vetting process before they can join our team (not to mention our tough to beat guarantee).

If you haven’t yet heard of the Samsung Family Hub refrigerator, we’ve got to say, this fridge is cool.

As one of the leading appliance manufacturers in the world, your Bosch dishwasher should provide reliable service for years. Unfortunately, with normal wear and tear, even the most durable dishwashers can break down.

There’s nothing more frustrating than loading up your washer or dryer, only to find that it’s broken, leaking or that it simply won’t turn on. You’ve got a tight schedule and budget to stick to, and this mishap was certainly not something you’d planned for.

As you’re probably well aware of by now, TVs above the fireplace are pretty darn great. They provide you with the best of both worlds - watching all your favorite shows and movies while you simultaneously watch and enjoy a warm, crackling fire.
