General Questions

While appliances may look similar on the outside, there’s much more going on behind the scenes. The manufacturing of low-end machines uses lower-quality materials. However, home appliances with a higher price tag are accompanied by more top quality materials and parts.

 

There’s often not a straight answer on this question, with responses varying based on the appliance and the maintenance needed. You’ll want to consider factors such as the age of your appliance, repair cost, energy efficiency, and your home space when evaluating this choice. 

If you want to replace your appliance because the cost to repair is comparable, think again. Consider any hidden costs, like updates to your wiring or having to modify cabinetry, that may come with a new appliance. Ultimately, your service technician can help you evaluate your appliance’s lifespan and make a proper recommendation for you.

 

It’s best to call a certified service technician immediately. 

Waiting until your appliance completely breaks before calling a repair company can cause more costly repairs and replacement down the road. Instead, it’s better to get it looked at sooner rather than later. Routine maintenance is more cost-efficient than a major repair!

 

From dryers not thoroughly drying clothes to A/C units not cooling correctly, we’ve dealt with many issues over the last 50 years. Many common appliance problems are results of a lack of routine maintenance and cleaning.

Services Info

When you’re inviting a service technician into your home, it can be vulnerable. You want to be sure that the local home appliance servicer you use is qualified, trustworthy, and safe. You’ll want to check to see if the technicians are trained, screened, and certified. 

While new companies may provide adequate service, a local independent servicer that’s been around for many years often has a strong presence in the community.

 

Most appliances under the one-year mark still have their warranties intact. And in many cases, the warranty covers Laboure and replacement parts. Therefore, repairing it will be a good idea as it’d cost you almost nothing.

 

Any appliance with recurring cases of repair may require a replacement. The costs of repair often add up and will eventually exceed replacement costs. If a relative or friend passed the appliance down to you, there might have been repair cases unknown to you. You may need to check the appliance for prior repair signs or contact the previous owner.

 

One reason your appliance malfunctions frequently may be due to a lack of good maintenance practices. Consider whether you can commit to regular maintenance before asking whether to repair or replace an appliance. Even for old appliances, regular maintenance can reduce the frequency of breakdowns.

Also, your attitude to appliance maintenance affects their effective lifespan. The good news is you can always work on your maintenance attitude towards your appliances.
