Counted from the 11 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
Wisconsin holds 11 listed GE businesses, out of 655 nationwide. That ranks 33rd of the 50 states with any, level with Mississippi and behind Florida on 27. They are 11 of the 15 businesses listed in Wisconsin — 73% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.6, level with the 4.6 average across all 655 listed nationwide, and 11 of the 11 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 1,371 reviews, the largest single tally being 590 on Mr. Appliance of Madison in Madison. Rating and review volume are what the businesses' own public profiles report — treat a high average on six reviews differently from the same average on six hundred.
By review volume the group is led by Mr. Appliance of Madison in Madison (590 reviews, 4.8), Sixth Sense Service LLC in Wauwatosa (198 reviews, 4.6) and Brew City Appliance Service in Milwaukee (156 reviews, 4.8). By rating it is Mr. Appliance of Madison at 4.8 on 590 reviews, Brew City Appliance Service at 4.8 on 156 reviews and Champion Appliance Care at 4.8 on 150 reviews. Those are two different questions and they rarely give the same answer — volume tells you a company has been doing this at scale, a high average on a handful of reviews tells you much less.
All 11 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 6 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 2 state a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 2 publish a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. None advertises round-the-clock emergency cover, but 1 advertises same-day service. All of that is self-stated in the listing, not verified here: ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, and for anything that opens a sealed refrigerant system ask to see federal EPA Section 608 certification, which is required in all fifty states.
5 of the 11 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1958, and the median across those that say is 20 years. Milwaukee holds the most at 4 — 36% of the group — followed by Madison on 3, across 6 Wisconsin cities with an index page. Between them they name 35 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in their stated service areas, so coverage reaches well past the cities listed here — give your address when you call rather than assuming.

The brand decides the parts route and the labour skill; the state decides the labour rate and the drive time. Both matter, and only one of them is on the quote.
If any brand can be described as easy to get repaired, this is it. GE components are catalogued, widely distributed and familiar to nearly every independent shop, which is why most technicians will quote the job without hesitation and why a common failure is often fixed on the first visit. The complication is breadth. One badge covers a builder-grade range and a built-in refrigeration column, and the built-in lines are serviced like luxury equipment — cabinetry removal, longer parts routes, a narrower set of shops that have worked on them — even though the badge itself sits in the mid tier. The model number is what tells a technician which of those two conversations you are having.
The best-stocked parts situation in the trade. OEM components are easy to source, aftermarket equivalents exist for most of them, and a technician will often have the common failure on the van rather than ordering it. Compare parts suppliers before you agree to an OEM-only quote.
Category prices lifted to the mid-range tier at 1×, the same multiplier the value estimator uses. The line is half the replacement price: above it, on a machine past two-thirds of its life, replacing usually wins. National figures, not Wisconsin quotes.

The same 11 businesses also cover wine cooler (1), which GE does not build. That is useful rather than irrelevant: one visit can cover two machines, and a second job on the same call-out costs far less than a second call-out. 2 of them also list dryer vent cleaning.

6 of the 98 guides covering categories GE builds. Faults that often resolve without a call-out — and a call-out to a mid-range-tier machine is the expensive kind.
