Master of Appliances: Your Trusted Source for High-Quality Appliances in Somerville, MA

Master of Appliances isn’t just about fixing things when they break. We’re also the folks you call when you’re ready to upgrade. With over 20 years of experience serving the Somerville area, we know what works— and what doesn’t— in the unique homes around here. Whether you live in a classic triple-decker in Davis Square or a newer condo near Assembly Row, we’ve got you covered.

Diverse Inventory for Every Home Need

Need a refrigerator that fits that narrow spot in your Somerville kitchen? We carry a range of sizes and styles, from high-performance French doors to compact models that squeeze into older apartment layouts. Our washer and dryer sets are built to handle everything from muddy soccer uniforms after a game at Dilboy Field to delicate fabrics. And don’t get us started on dishwashers— we’ve got quiet ones that won’t drown out your podcast from the living room. Ovens, stove tops, microwaves? We stock those too, with options that match the vintage charm of your Spring Hill home or the sleek look of a new build near Union Square.

Quality and Dependability

Here’s the thing: we don’t sell junk. Every appliance we offer gets tested before it leaves our hands. We check for dings, performance, and durability— stuff the big box stores skip. Honestly, we’ve seen too many Somerville residents buy a cheap fridge only to have it die during a heatwave. We won’t let that happen to you. When you buy from Master of Appliances, you’re getting something that’ll hold up through the humidity of a Massachusetts summer and the grind of daily life.

Personalized Shopping Experience

Our team takes the time to listen. Maybe you’re replacing a stove top that’s older than your building on Highland Avenue, or maybe you’re outfitting a whole new kitchen in a Teele Square flip. We ask about your cooking habits, your family size, your budget— and then we make real recommendations. No pressure. Just honest advice from people who’ve been doing this for two decades. We’re not reading from a script; we’re neighbors helping neighbors.

Ongoing Support and Maintenance

After you buy, we don’t disappear. That’s the Master of Appliances difference. If your new dishwasher acts up six months down the line, we’re a phone call away. We’ll come right to your Somerville home— yes, even down those narrow Winter Hill streets— and get it sorted. Our repair team knows the ins and outs of every brand we sell, so you’re never left stranded. Plus, we offer dryer vent cleaning and professional installation to make sure everything runs safely from day one.

Pledging an Enjoyable Shopping Experience

Look, buying an appliance shouldn’t feel like a chore. We’ve made it our mission to keep things straightforward and even a little fun. You’ll talk to real people who actually enjoy what they do. We’ll laugh about the weird quirks of old Somerville kitchens, and we’ll find you something that works. Your satisfaction drives everything we do— and it shows.

Ready to see what we’ve got? Stop browsing those faceless websites. Give us a call, and let’s find you the perfect appliance for your Somerville home. Your happiness is our priority, and we mean it.

Somerville, with a population of around 81,000 in Middlesex County, is the most densely populated city in New England. Its square mile is packed with iconic neighborhoods like Davis Square, Union Square, and Winter Hill, each with a mix of older triple-deckers and new condo developments. Many of these homes feature aging appliances in tight kitchens and basements, often exposed to the region’s humid summers and freezing winters, which accelerate wear on refrigerators, ovens, and washing machines.

Proximity to Boston and Harvard and Tufts universities means many Somerville residents rent or own older units where landlords and homeowners alike rely on prompt repairs to keep costs down and avoid disruption. The city’s notoriously tricky parking and narrow streets make hauling heavy appliances a challenge, so local service that knows how to navigate Somerville’s quirks—like avoiding the poorly marked one-ways near Porter Square—saves time and hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Somerville

My refrigerator is leaking in my Davis Square apartment—do I need a permit to repair it in Somerville?

No permit is needed for the repair itself, but if you're replacing a refrigerator and need to dispose of the old one, Somerville's Department of Public Works requires a bulky waste pickup scheduled at least 48 hours in advance. We can handle the disconnect and advise on proper disposal to avoid fines.

The dryer in my Winter Hill triple-decker takes two cycles to dry—could the old wiring in these pre-war buildings be the issue?

Absolutely. Many Somerville triple-deckers built before 1950 have aging 60-amp service or outdated wiring that can't support modern dryers, causing poor heating or tripped breakers. We'll test the outlet and vent system—often clogged with lint from decades of use—and recommend fixes that meet current Massachusetts electrical code.

After a heavy summer thunderstorm near Assembly Row, my washing machine won't spin—could the flood-prone area be to blame?

Yes, Somerville has several low-lying spots, especially around the Mystic River near Assembly Row, that are prone to basement flooding during intense rain. A power surge or water damage from a wet floor can short the motor or control board. We can inspect for water intrusion and replace damaged components, and we recommend a GFCI outlet upgrade to prevent future issues.
