24 Hour Appliance Repair in Ottawa & Gatineau
Fridge died at midnight? Washer flooded the basement on a Sunday morning? B&M Canada Appliances runs a 24/7 dispatch desk for Ottawa and Gatineau, with overnight and weekend appointments for true appliance emergencies.
What “24 hour appliance repair” actually means in Ottawa
Most appliance shops in the National Capital Region close at 5 p.m. and don’t pick up the phone again until 8 a.m. the next day. Some advertise “24/7” and route after-hours calls to voicemail. We don’t. The B&M dispatch desk is staffed around the clock for booking, and our on-call technicians can be deployed for genuine appliance emergencies overnight and on weekends — fridges full of food, leaks soaking floors, gas-range failures, dryers that won’t shut off, dishwasher overflows.
For non-urgent issues — say, your toaster oven stopped browning evenly — a 3 a.m. call won’t get you a 3 a.m. visit. We’ll book the first available morning slot. But if water is on the floor, milk is on its way to spoiling, or you smell gas, we move tonight.
When to call 24-hour, when to wait until morning
- Smell of gas anywhere near a stove, oven or dryer
- Active water leak from a washer or dishwasher
- Fridge or freezer warm with $200+ of food at risk
- Dryer that won’t shut off / runs hot when off
- Stove burner stuck on / continuous arcing
- Dishwasher cycle finishing wet — see dishwasher not draining
- Oven heats slow / inconsistent — see oven not heating
- Dryer takes 2 cycles — see dryer not heating
- Washer making noise but completing cycles
- Fridge a degree warm but still cold
How an after-hours visit works at B&M
After-hours appliance repair pricing in Ottawa
Our diagnostic is the same $89 around the clock. After-hours and weekend call-outs may carry a small dispatch surcharge for true overnight emergencies — we’ll always quote you the total before the technician rolls. We never charge a “minimum hours” booking like some 24-hour outfits.
| Time of call | Diagnostic fee | Surcharge |
|---|---|---|
| Mon–Sat 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. | $89 (waived w/ repair) | $0 |
| Sun & statutory holidays, 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. | $89 (waived w/ repair) | Small dispatch surcharge |
| Overnight 6 p.m. – 8 a.m. (true emergency) | $89 (waived w/ repair) | After-hours dispatch surcharge — quoted on the call |
Even with after-hours surcharges, our total cost is typically lower than booking a national 24/7 service that subcontracts the work — and you keep the written warranty.

What to do while you wait for the overnight technician
While your call is in dispatch, a few quick steps can save the floor, save the food and keep everyone safe:
- Water leak from a washer or dishwasher: shut off the hot/cold supply valves behind the appliance (or at the basement riser). Wipe up standing water with old towels. Don’t run another cycle.
- Gas-range smell: turn the range knob to OFF, open windows, and leave the home if the smell is strong. Don’t use any switches or open flames. Call us — and call Enbridge if the smell is persistent.
- Fridge warm overnight: stop opening the door. Move the most perishable items (raw meat, seafood, dairy) to a cooler with ice. Read our fridge not cooling guide.
- Dryer that won’t shut off: unplug it (or flip the breaker). Don’t restart it.
- Dishwasher pooling water: turn off the under-counter water shutoff and read the dishwasher not draining page.
24/7 coverage area
Overnight dispatch covers the same footprint as our daytime service: Ottawa core, Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans, Nepean, Gloucester, Stittsville, South Keys, Manotick — plus Gatineau, Hull and Aylmer on the Quebec side. Outer suburbs (Carp, Greely, Kemptville) may take an extra 30-45 minutes overnight; we’ll always tell you the realistic ETA on the call.

24 hour appliance repair Ottawa — FAQ
Are you really 24 hours?
Our dispatch desk is staffed 24/7 — a real Ottawa person, not a voicemail. On-call technicians are available overnight for genuine appliance emergencies (leaks, gas, fridge failure, dryer not shutting off). Non-urgent overnight calls are booked for the first available morning slot.
Do you charge an emergency surcharge?
For overnight (6 p.m. – 8 a.m.) genuine emergencies a small dispatch surcharge may apply. We always quote the total before the technician is dispatched — no hidden fees. Sunday and statutory-holiday daytime calls also carry a small surcharge.
My fridge died at 11 p.m. — should I call now or wait?
Call now. We can triage by phone, advise on what to move to a cooler, and decide whether an overnight visit is warranted. Most fridge failures get a same-night dispatch if there’s perishable food at risk; smaller faults are booked for the first morning slot.
Do you handle gas appliance emergencies overnight?
Yes — our technicians are TSSA certified. If you smell gas anywhere near a stove, oven or gas dryer, turn the appliance off, open windows, leave the home if the smell is strong, and call us along with Enbridge.
Do you cover Gatineau and Hull at night?
Yes — overnight dispatch covers Gatineau, Hull and Aylmer just like daytime. There’s no extra cross-river fee.
My washer leaked through the ceiling — what now?
Shut the hot/cold supply valves behind the washer (or at the basement riser). Don’t run another cycle. Call us at 613-301-0016 — overnight leaks get triaged ahead of non-urgent calls.
Is the warranty different for after-hours repairs?
No. Every repair carries the same written warranty on parts and labour — most parts for 1 year and labour for 90 days — whether the visit happens at 9 a.m. or 2 a.m.
