Master of Appliances: Cambridge's Go-To Source for Reliable Appliances and Repair

Here’s something we’ve learned over two decades in Greater Boston: finding an appliance that truly fits your life isn’t just about specs. It’s about understanding the quirks of your home, your daily routine, and yes, even your neighborhood. At Master of Appliances, we’re not just fixing your broken fridge or installing a new washer in Cambridge—we also help you pick the right appliances from the start. We know Cambridge homes well. From the older triple-deckers in North Cambridge with their tight staircases to the sleek condos along the Charles River, every space is different. Our inventory is built with that in mind.

A Selection That Matches Cambridge Living

Whether you need a refrigerator that fits a Porter Square kitchen with odd dimensions, a washer and dryer set for a basement off Mass Ave, or a dishwasher that can handle the constant cooking of a family in Cambridgeport—we’ve got you covered. We stock everything from high-performance refrigerators and innovative dishwashers to cutting-edge microwaves and powerful ovens or stove tops. We don’t just sell you a box. We help you find the appliance that feels right for your space and your life in Cambridge.

Quality You Can Count On, Even in a City Pace

We hear this a lot: “But will it last?” The truth is, we only sell appliances that we’d be comfortable repairing ourselves. Every unit we offer goes through our own checks to meet our standards for performance and durability.

We’ll walk you through the options, give you honest advice, and make sure you leave with something you’ll love. It’s that simple.

Cambridge, home to roughly 118,000 residents in Middlesex County, is a dense urban center defined by its iconic squares—Harvard, Central, Kendall, and Porter—each with its own distinct character. The city’s economy is driven by prestigious universities like Harvard and MIT, as well as a thriving biotech and tech sector headquartered along the Charles River. With many residents living in pre-war three-deckers, Victorian houses, or older apartment buildings in neighborhoods like Mid-Cambridge and North Cambridge, aging appliances face heavy use from families, students, and professionals alike. The humid continental climate—hot, humid summers and freezing winters—puts extra strain on refrigerators, dishwashers, and washing machines, often leading to breakdowns at the worst possible time.

Whether you’re dealing with a failed ice maker in a condo near MIT or a leaky dryer in a century-old home off Porter Square, Cambridge’s mix of old infrastructure and fast-paced lifestyles means reliable appliance repair isn’t just convenient—it’s essential. Our techs know the quirks of Cambridge’s housing stock and can navigate tight parking on streets like Broadway or Mass Ave, ensuring your laundry or kitchen gets back online quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cambridge

How does Cambridge's 30-day trash and recycling ordinance affect my old refrigerator disposal?

Cambridge requires large appliances to be scheduled for pickup through the Department of Public Works, with a $10 fee for items containing CFCs like refrigerators. You cannot simply leave them on the curb; a proper pickup is mandatory to avoid fines. We can help you coordinate removal when we install your new unit.

Why do washing machines in North Cambridge homes often break down more in winter?

Many homes in North Cambridge, particularly around the Porter Square and Davis Square border, have uninsulated basements or exterior laundry rooms. When temperatures drop below freezing, water lines can freeze, putting stress on the machine's drain pump and hoses. Routine winterizing, like adding insulation to pipes, can prevent costly repairs.

Do I need a permit to replace a gas range in Cambridge?

Yes, the City of Cambridge requires a plumbing and gas fitting permit for any gas appliance installation or replacement, obtained through the Inspectional Services Department. Only a licensed master plumber or gas fitter can perform this work. We handle the permit process so you can enjoy your new stove without hassle.
