Since 1927, our effort has been to satisfy customers needs and wants in their home appliances - which today means washing machines that are better than ever, washing more clothes with less water and energy, and most importantly washing better with less fabric wear.  Dryers that offer a steam option, so things can come out with virtually no wrinkles and look just as good as if you just brought them home from the cleaners.

Cooking today can be done with many features that enhance flavor, as well as retain more nutritional value, from convection cooking, to high-output surface burners, to high-speed ovens and much more.  Today's products are also easier than ever to use, with slide-out racks, intuitive conrols, etc.

History

Established in 1927.

Founded in 1927 by Livio & Mary Perla, in Braddock, Perla's Appliances Plus is now in its fourth generation of family ownership.  About 40 years ago, a Swissvale location was opened, and now we are in the Swissvale Shopping Center, just next door to the Swissvale Post Office.

Our location is easy for all of our Allegheny County customers to reach, being less than a 30 minute drive from anywhere in the county, and 15 minutes or less from well over half of the population in the county.

In addition to our selection of products now offered for sale, we still offer in-home service of all major kitchen and laundry appliances, regardless where purchased, and offer replacement parts for sale both in our store and on-line.

We have also just added on-line sales for all our products, being able to provide our level of pricing and expertise to those located outside our area, as well as the typical level of follow-up and help when needed we offer all our customers.
