RE: Correct .htaccess settings for canonical url?
It looks like you are redirecting any URL back to itself.
You want something like this which will remove index.html and enforce a trailing slash-
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index.html$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

RE: Correct .htaccess settings for canonical url?
your directories have duplication. For example: http://www.titanappliancerepair.com/about-us.html and http://www.titanappliancerepair.com/about-us
You may also need RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ /$1 [R=301**,**L]

If the page ia a 404 not found it will sometime soon disappear from the index. You can force this immediately by going into Webmaster Tools >> Google Index >> Remove URLs >> enter URL >> select 'Remove page....'

Either switch javascript off in the browser or search cache:www.yoursite and see if you spot any content missing.
