Frequently asked questions
What is the typical service call fee?
Most companies charge $50-100 just to come out, which covers diagnosis. That fee often applies to repair cost if you proceed.
When is it better to replace than repair?
If repair cost is more than 50% of replacement price or appliance is over 10 years old, consider new.
How can I reduce appliance repair costs?
Check warranty first, get multiple quotes, and consider DIY for simple fixes (like replacing a thermocouple) if safe.
