Why San Rafael Residents Trust Kelly’s
San Rafael is the largest city in Marin County, and we have been servicing homes here since 1975. From the Victorian homes near the Mission to the mid-century ranches in Terra Linda and Sun Valley, plus the hillside estates in Dominican and Peacock Gap, we know the appliance mix well.
Our drive from Cotati to San Rafael takes about 30 minutes via 101, and we schedule Marin appointments multiple days a week. Same-day availability is often possible for morning calls, especially for urgent refrigerator or washer issues.
Marin kitchens often feature higher-end built-in appliances. Our factory authorizations for Sub-Zero, Viking, Thermador, Wolf, Miele, and other premium brands mean your investment gets proper expert care. We also service standard brands like Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Maytag, and Frigidaire across every San Rafael neighborhood.
Hillside neighborhoods like Sun Valley, Dominican, and Peacock Gap experience higher humidity from their proximity to the bay and the surrounding terrain. That moisture promotes mold on refrigerator gaskets and inside front-load washer drums, which is one of the most common calls we get from this area. We know the cleaning techniques and replacement parts that actually fix the problem.
San Rafael’s older neighborhoods, particularly around the downtown core and Gerstle Park, sometimes have undersized 1950s-70s electrical panels that cannot handle modern high-draw appliances. If your new induction range or professional refrigerator keeps tripping breakers, the real problem is usually the circuit, not the appliance. We help you figure out which it is before you spend money on unnecessary repairs.
Every repair comes with our 90-day money-back guarantee, and we are Diamond Certified by American Ratings for consistent customer satisfaction year after year.

Common Appliance Issues in San Rafael
San Rafael’s older neighborhoods (built in the 1950s-70s) sometimes have undersized electrical panels that cannot handle modern high-draw appliances. If your appliance trips breakers frequently, the issue may be the circuit, not the machine.
Hillside homes in areas like Sun Valley and Dominican can experience higher humidity levels that promote mold on refrigerator gaskets and inside front-load washers. Regular gasket cleaning prevents odor and seal damage.
Frequently Asked Questions — Appliance Repair in San Rafael
How much does appliance repair cost in San Rafael?
Our service call fee is $149, which includes full diagnosis and is applied toward the repair if you proceed. Most San Rafael repairs range from $200 to $500 depending on the appliance, brand, and parts needed. Premium brand repairs (Sub-Zero, Viking, Wolf) can run higher due to specialty parts. We always give you an upfront estimate before any work begins.
Do you offer same-day repair in San Rafael?
Often, yes. We schedule Marin appointments multiple days per week and same-day calls are possible for morning inquiries. The drive from our Cotati shop takes about 30 minutes on 101. Call (707) 664-9702 as early as possible to check today’s schedule.
What appliance brands do you service in San Rafael?
We are factory-authorized for Sub-Zero, Viking, Wolf, Thermador, Miele, JennAir, KitchenAid, Bosch, Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Maytag, Frigidaire, and most other major brands. We understand Marin kitchens often have premium built-in appliances, and we carry genuine OEM parts for the repairs they need.
Do you service my San Rafael neighborhood?
Yes. We service all San Rafael neighborhoods including Downtown, Terra Linda, Sun Valley, Dominican, Gerstle Park, Peacock Gap, Glenwood, Bret Harte, Lucas Valley, Marinwood, and Santa Venetia. We also cover nearby San Anselmo, Novato, Larkspur, Corte Madera, and Mill Valley.
Why does my front-load washer smell in my San Rafael home?
Marin’s higher humidity, especially in hillside and bayside neighborhoods, promotes mildew and mold growth in the rubber door gasket, drum, and detergent dispenser of front-load washers. Regular cleaning of the gasket and running a monthly hot wash with a washer cleaner helps. If the smell persists, the gasket or internal components may need replacement.
Are you licensed and insured in Marin County?
Yes. Kelly’s Appliance Center has been operating since 1975, we are fully licensed, insured, Diamond Certified by American Ratings, and factory-authorized for most major appliance brands. Every repair comes with our 90-day money-back guarantee regardless of where you live in our service area.
