- Raise the setpoint at least 3–5°F above room temperature

Step-by-step: what happens on a diagnostic visit
- You share the symptoms (what you hear/see, when it fails, thermostat type, any error lights/codes visible without opening panels).
- We verify the heat call and observe the start sequence and shutdown behavior.
- We isolate the fault path (control logic, ignition sequence behavior, airflow/overheat behavior, thermostat/control signal issues).
- We give a clear repair plan and an estimate before performing billable repairs.
- If the fix requires internal testing, specialty tools, or parts, we proceed only after approval.

FAQ
Do you work on boilers or steam heat?
- No. This service is for forced-air furnaces only.
Is the $99 diagnostic credited?
- Yes. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair if you approve the work on the same job.
Do you provide a COI for building management?
- Yes. Request it when booking and include the building’s COI instructions.
Can you quote a repair price before the visit?
- Not reliably for “no heat.” The diagnostic visit is used to confirm the failure point and provide an accurate repair plan and estimate.
What if the repair requires internal electrical testing or panel access?
- That is technician-only work. If diagnosis moves beyond homeowner-safe checks, we handle it on-site as part of the professional diagnostic process.

1. Schedule your visit
2. On-site diagnostic
3. Approve & repair
4. Done & covered
COI (Certificate of Insurance)
Available on request - usually not required in Brooklyn, but often asked for in Manhattan buildings and co-ops. Please remember that certain issues can come from incorrect use or installation, not from parts failure - our technicians will always point that out and show how to prevent it in the future.
Warranty & Compliance
Every repair is covered by a 180-day warranty on both parts and labor. If the appliance is older, keep in mind that some surrounding components can wear out over time — sometimes one repair leads to another part showing its age. We always explain options clearly before doing extra work.
Safety & Courtesy Protocol
We treat every visit like we’re guests in your home. Technicians wear shoe covers or remove footwear when entering, and we always clean up after the job. If you notice a little dust or debris left behind - our apologies - each tech handles 3-5 appointments per day and works to stay on schedule. If your window was 11-1, the technician usually arrives closer to 11; if running late, we’ll text you right away. Our goal is simple: work clean, stay safe, and respect your space and time.
Coverage
We cover Brooklyn—Downtown, Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Bed-Stuy, Carroll Gardens, Prospect Heights, and Flatbush—and Manhattan (below 96th Street)-FiDi, Battery Park, Tribeca, SoHo, Chelsea, Midtown, UES, UWS, Gramercy, and the Village. You’ll receive a text alert ~30 minutes before arrival.
Why Volt & Vector
We’ve spent years working inside large NYC repair companies - seeing how real technicians get buried under rushed schedules, fake “same-day” promises, and endless call-center noise. Volt & Vector grew out of that frustration. We wanted a place where diagnostics still matter, where techs can take time to do the job right and talk to people directly. We’re not calling ourselves perfect - far from it - but we’re building the kind of service we always wanted to work for: respectful, transparent, and run by people who actually fix things.
Pricing & Diagnostic Policy
Our diagnostic visit is always billed at the first appointment - that’s the starting point for every repair. After the visit, the technician sends full details to our service desk. Sometimes the tech can give a price range on-site, but we’re moving away from instant quotes - parts pricing changes like crypto these days, and we’d rather stay accurate than promise the wrong number.
Simple issues - like a clogged drain, loose wire, or minor reset - can often be fixed on the spot starting from $99. If a full repair with parts is needed, total cost varies by brand and model - just like in any NYC company, it can start around $320 and go up depending on parts and labor. We believe in clarity over surprises. You’ll always see the diagnostic results and estimate before any repair begins.

The diagnostic fee credit applies to the same job when you approve the repair. You will receive diagnostic results and an estimate before any repair begins.
Diagnostic Process
Step 1: Diagnostic visit
We perform on site testing to identify the cause of the issue, confirm what parts are needed if any, and document findings.
Step 2: Written estimate
After diagnostics, you receive the estimate based on the confirmed fault and the parts and labor required. No repair is performed without approval.
Step 3: Repair and credit
If you approve the repair, the $99 diagnostic fee is credited toward the final invoice for the same job.
Examples of the $99 credit
A: Minor issue corrected during the first visit
Diagnostic visit: $99. Repair approved and completed same visit. Total can start from $99 plus any parts if needed.
B: Repair requiring parts
Diagnostic visit: $99. If the approved repair total is $450, you pay $99 for diagnosis and $351 after the diagnostic credit is applied.
What affects the final cost:
Confirmed failure and required parts
Total cost depends on the exact failure identified during testing and the parts required to complete the repair.
Brand, model, and platform complexity
Built in platforms, integrated units, and advanced control systems typically require more access and testing.d
Access and installation constraints
Tight cabinetry, stacked laundry, and built in installations can change labor time and may require additional disassembly for safe access.
Multiple faults and intermittent issues
Diagnostic visit: $99. Repair approved and completed same visit. Total can start from $99 plus any parts if needed.
Warranty
Completed repairs include a 180 day parts and labor warranty. OEM parts only. Warranty service is prioritized.

Google Reviews
My wife and I were having trouble with our Miele dryer and thought for sure we were in for a several hundred-dollar repair. I called Volt & Vector because they had such good reviews online. It was a Saturday and I was told someone could come out that day. We had a holiday gathering and so couldn’t do that, but they offered to come out first thing Monday morning. And so that’s what happened. Vlad appeared on time and promptly took responsibility for diagnosing the problem. It turned out that our three cats (which Vlad immediately befriended) had shed so much hair over the previous fifteen years that they’d clogged the drain of our condensing dryer. Vlad cleaned it out, charged us $99 dollars and it was only after he left that we felt ashamed we hadn’t tipped him more. The dryer was fine, he didn’t recommend replacing anything; he just solved the problem, humbly and honestly. We have several appliances that surely will develop problems in the future. As we told him when he left, he and his company are who we will be calling in the future. We can’t recommend Vlad and his company more strongly. (The three culprits are in the photo)
Great people to deal with. Called and set up appointment right away. Mark came and fixed the issue right away. Very friendly and respectful. Will use again. Thanks guys.
Vlad has been an incredible asset. In the few months we've known him, he's already fixed a dryer, two washing machines, and an oven! He's always very upfront with the repairs needed and the associated costs with fixing an appliance. I wouldn't hesitate at all to hire him for any future appliances in need of repair
I split my time between Italy and NYC and manage several Airbnb units. Scheduling used to take too much energy around guest check-ins and turnovers. With Volt & Vector Appliance Repair, the routine became predictable: clear 2-hour windows (9–11am or 12–2pm), a text with ETA, written pricing (diagnostic credited), before/after photos, and a short summary after each visit. Over ~30 repairs in two years: washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, a refrigerator seal. They’ve kept me informed and moved quickly on parts (usually 24–48 hours when ordered). Access and lockboxes are handled without drama, work areas are left clean, and my reviews stayed steady. Hosting from abroad is easier when maintenance is this consistent. Strong recommend for Brooklyn and Manhattan hosts.

Amazing service every time! I work for a multi-use property in lower Manhattan and we have used Volt & Vector for at least 20+ jobs and I can honestly say they do incredible and reliable work. Vlad is a pleasure to work with, he is honest and his pricing is fair. Highly recommend!
