Why Work with Thomas Service Company
Family-Owned for 70+ Years
Founded in 1947, we are a family-owned-and-operated appliance repair service based in Inver Grove Heights, which serves Minnesota, western Wisconsin, and northern Iowa. After four generations, it’s safe to say this business is our family, which means all our employees are a part of the family.
Exclusive Luxury Service
We work exclusively with a select group of luxury brands: Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove. And as the Premier Partner of these manufacturers, we have a direct line to their customers, which lets us maintain a full schedule of service appointments year-round in the most beautiful homes in the area.
Fantastic Compensation
These are full-time positions with competitive annual salaries, as well as full benefits, including medical, dental, vision, matching 401k, and more. We value each and every one of our employees, and we back our words with actions. You will always have our full support.
Appliance Technician
Appliance Technicians are responsible for visiting customers’ homes to troubleshoot appliance issues and perform repairs. We are offering signing bonuses up to $5,000 for experienced technicians.
Appliance repair doesn’t get a lot of press, but it’s a great career. For one, it pays well with tons of benefits and job security (see Compensation & Benefits). For another, it’s a very fulfilling career. You’re your own boss as you drive between appointments, troubleshoot and quote repairs, and fix problems with your hands and mind. If you need support, you’ll get it, either from our team or from the manufacturer. But at the end of the day, your customers know they have you to thank.
