To Repair or Not to Repair: Factors to Consider for Your Appliances

Clients often ask us if repairing their appliances is worth it, but the answer is not always simple. Factors such as the age of the appliance, the repair cost, your attachment to it, and the frequency of issues all come into play. Over the past year, washing machines have become more "disposable," resulting in fewer repairs. Conversely, people tend to fix dryers 90% of the time due to their attachment to them.

Refrigerators are a bit trickier to assess. It all depends on the price, brand, and your satisfaction with the product. We recently came across a helpful website that offers insights into the costs and benefits of appliance repair. For example, a $500 refrigerator repair is often more cost-effective than purchasing a brand new unit for $1800.
