Mid-Year 2025 Report from Hartman’s & Reliable Appliance Repair Service

Reflecting on 2025 So Far

As we pass the halfway point of 2025, it’s the perfect time to look back at the trends shaping the appliance industry—and what they mean for your home. At Hartman’s and Reliable Appliance Repair Service, our commitment goes far beyond repairs. We’re here to be your trusted partner in home appliance care, adapting alongside the changes in technology, the economy, and your lifestyle.

Economic Update: What We’ve Seen

Despite early predictions, anticipated tariffs have had far less impact than expected. Prices on appliances and parts haven’t surged the way many feared, and that’s been a welcome surprise for homeowners and service providers alike.

Meanwhile, global supply chains—especially with Asia and Europe—have remained steady. That consistency means we’re still able to access the parts you need quickly, minimizing delays and keeping your home running smoothly.

Smart Homes, Smarter Appliances

The connected home is no longer a futuristic idea—it’s here. From app-controlled ovens and self-monitoring refrigerators to laundry pairs that communicate with each other, smart appliances are becoming more common in everyday homes.

Our team has embraced this trend head-on. Every technician at Hartman’s and Reliable is trained on the latest systems, ensuring we’re equipped to troubleshoot even the most advanced smart appliances.

Built on Trust and Passion

We’re proud to be in a major growth phase—and we owe it all to you, our loyal customers. You’ve invited us into your homes again and again, and that trust fuels everything we do. We work hard to earn it through honest communication, top-tier service, and a genuine enthusiasm for appliance repair.

We’re not just solving problems; we’re helping you enjoy your home with confidence.

As a family-owned, locally operated business, we understand what matters most. That’s why we operate six days a week with friendly faces, transparent service, and dependable results. Whether it’s your first time calling us or your fifteenth, we’re here to make sure you feel like family.

A Vital Reminder: Clean Your Dryer Vent

One of the most overlooked home safety hazards? A clogged dryer vent.

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, nearly 2,900 home clothes dryer fires are reported every year, causing an estimated $35 million in property damage. The leading cause? Failure to clean vents and filters.

If your dryer is taking longer than usual or it’s been more than a year since your last vent cleaning, it’s time to schedule a professional service. It could save your home—and your life.

Have a Safe, Happy Summer

From all of us at Hartman’s and Reliable Appliance Repair Service, we wish you a season full of fun, family, and unforgettable moments. Let us handle the appliances so you can focus on what matters most.
