Steven Hunt did not start at the top. He spent years repairing appliances for other companies, learning every brand, every common fault, and every shortcut that leaves customers worse off. He saw people rushed through service calls and pushed toward new units they did not need. That bothered him. Three years ago he started Top Tier Appliances to run things his way: honest diagnoses, fair pricing, and repairs that hold. The business is family owned, and it is growing across Lakeland and the wider Tampa Bay area one repair at a time.
When you call Top Tier Appliances, you reach the people who do the work. There is no call center and no runaround. Steven knows the homes in Lakeland, Brandon, and Plant City, and he knows the appliances families run hardest in Florida heat. That local knowledge means faster diagnoses and fewer wasted trips. Being family owned also means your reputation as a customer matters, because your neighbors are our customers too. Add a military discount and warranty-backed parts, and you get service built on trust, not volume.
Our Team
Owner & Lead Appliance Technician
Steven handles diagnosis and repair across all major kitchen and laundry appliances. He gives you a straight answer on whether a unit is worth fixing, uses manufacturer parts backed by warranty, and stands behind every job. His approach is simple: respect your time, tell you the truth, and fix it right the first time.

A broken washer means laundry piling up fast. Steven diagnoses the real problem, from a bad pump to a worn belt, and fixes it right the first time. Parts come straight from the manufacturer and carry a warranty. You get a working washer without the guesswork.

A dryer that won't heat or tumble is more than an annoyance. Most issues trace back to a heating element, thermostat, or clogged vent. We pinpoint the fault, replace what's worn, and test it before we leave. Your clothes dry on the first cycle again.

A dishwasher that leaves spots or won't drain wastes your time and water. We check the pump, spray arms, and seals to find what's off. Repairs are done with warranty-backed parts. You load it, run it, and trust it to do its job.

An oven that won't hold temperature ruins dinner and your night. We test igniters, heating elements, and sensors to track down the cause. The fix is solid and tested before we go. You cook with confidence knowing the numbers on the dial mean something.

A dead burner or cracked surface slows your whole kitchen down. We work on gas and electric cooktops, repairing what we can and replacing what we can't. Every job gets tested for safety and function. Your cooktop heats evenly and works the way it should.

A microwave that hums but won't heat usually points to a failed magnetron or diode. We diagnose it, give you a straight answer on repair versus replace, and handle either. No upsell, no runaround. You get a clear recommendation and a working microwave.

A fridge that stops cooling puts your groceries on the clock. We move fast on compressors, fans, thermostats, and seals to stop the loss. Repairs use manufacturer parts with a warranty. Your food stays cold and your wallet stays intact.

A jammed or leaking disposal makes the whole sink unusable. When a unit is past repair, we swap it for a new one that fits your setup. The install is clean and tested before we leave. Your sink drains right and the grinding noise is gone.

Not every problem needs a brand-new machine. We sell refurbished washers, dryers, refrigerators, and ovens that are tested and ready to work. It is a smart way to outfit a home, a rental, or a backup unit. You save money without gambling on quality.

An ice maker that quits is a common headache, especially in Florida heat. We check the water line, valve, and motor to find the holdup. Most fixes are quick once the cause is clear. You get back to cold drinks without buying bags of ice.

Sometimes repair does not make sense, and you deserve an honest answer. We tell you when a unit is worth fixing and when replacement is the smarter call. If you replace, we handle the haul-out and install. You make the decision with the full picture in front of you.

Small problems become big ones when appliances go unchecked. We service kitchen and laundry units to catch wear before it leaves you stranded. A little upkeep adds years to a machine. You spend less on repairs down the road and avoid the worst-case breakdown.
