General

Who is Puls?
Puls is a San Francisco based company with more than 4,000 fully vetted technicians across the nation - from Los Angeles, CA, to Raleigh, NC, and hundreds of cities in between. We were founded in 2015 and have been expanding steadily ever since then. We can install and repair almost every device in your home, from dishwashers to garage doors to TVs.
Who are the Puls technicians?
Convenience, trust and safety are very important to us. Puls technicians are experts in their field and are enthusiastic about using their expertise to solve your problems and bring you peace of mind. All Puls technicians have been carefully vetted and screened. We only select the top 10% of technicians who apply, and we require a comprehensive background check for every technician.
Does Puls provide a guarantee on installations and repairs?
Yes! All of our services come with at minimum a 90-day guarantee.
How soon can I schedule a technician?
In many cases, we can be at your doorstep today. The technology behind our platform allows us to quickly find a trusted Puls technician in your area and match them to your job. We often respond faster than our competitors. If you do not need a same-day appointment, we can schedule an appointment for a time that is most convenient to you. Scheduling ultimately depends on our technicians' availability and on your desired appointment time.
Once I have an appointment, how can I contact Puls?
Please email our team at support@puls.com.
How do I know when the technician will arrive?
Your Puls technician will text or call you when they are on the way. Unlike other services, you typically do not have to wait long for us to arrive.
Do I need to let the technician into my home?
For many Puls services, such as appliance repair or TV mounting, you will need to let our technician into your home. For other services, such as mobile device repair, we are happy to meet you at your office, gym, or even a nearby coffee shop.
Do I need to be there with the technician the entire time?
Not necessarily. Many customers enjoy observing the technician and seeing how the work gets done, but you're more than welcome to run errands, attend to work, or focus on anything else during that time. Our goal is always to make your day easier.
How do I pay Puls?
We don't request payment from you until after the repair or installation is complete. At that time, you can simply pay our technician using his or her mobile phone. We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as PayPal.
How much will it cost?
Please visit our pricing page for a summary of the costs for each of our services. Our prices include parts, labor, and a 90-day guarantee, but they do not include local sales tax, which varies by city and state. Once you have booked an appointment, you will see an estimate of your total price.
