Finding a Good Appliance Repair Technician

Not all appliance repair services are created equal.

Most people have become dependent on the appliances in their homes without their knowledge; only when they malfunction do we realize our reliance. While most appliances have a warranty, most eventually expire. After this time, the decision to pay for repairs or replace the appliance becomes essential. The following tips can help homeowners find a reputable repair technician to complete repairs.

Do some research

Not all appliance repair services are created equal. Some may be more qualified to handle repairs on certain brands or types of appliances than others. It’s important to ensure the service technician is prepared to complete the job.

Most appliance repair technicians are honest and competent. However, there are always a few bad apples, like any other service industry. It is easy to find reviews, good and bad, online and use the information to narrow down a search.

Get multiple estimates

Once the search has been narrowed to a few potential appliance repair services, be sure to get multiple quotes before making a final decision. This helps homeowners ensure they are getting a fair price for repairs. Additionally, getting any estimates in writing is crucial to avoid surprise costs after repairs are complete.

Ask about warranty coverage

Many appliance repair services offer some warranty on their work. Appliance repair technicians generally offer a one-year warranty on their work. For example, if a repair is completed for a washing machine, and the machine breaks down within that year, they will return and fix it free of charge.

New appliances frequently come with manufacturer warranties. If a new appliance breaks down within the warranty timeline, complete the repair through the repair service and then file a claim with the manufacturer.

Home appliances are a necessary part of everyday life, but they can be a real pain when they break down. By keeping these tips in mind, homeowners can be sure they’ll find the best appliance repair service.
