Is It Worth Fixing or Should You Replace?

In general, if your appliance repair costs less than half the price of a new unit—and your appliance is still within a reasonable age range—it’s often worth fixing. However, if you’re facing frequent repairs or the appliance is near the end of its expected lifespan, a replacement may be more economical long-term.

All appliance repair techs are happy to help you evaluate your specific situation and offer honest, no-pressure guidance to help you make the best choice for your home and budget.

Tips to Avoid Unexpected Repair Costs

Perform regular maintenance: Clean filters, coils, and vents to prevent common breakdowns.
Catch problems early: If something sounds or smells unusual, call sooner rather than later.
Avoid DIY overreach: Attempting repairs without the right tools or knowledge can make things worse (and more expensive).

A small repair now is often far cheaper than a major one later.
