Is Appliance Repair Worth It?

When it comes to appliance repair, it's important to consider all of your options. At Van Vreede appliance service from All Brands, we offer affordable refrigerator repairs with a 90-day warranty on parts. Before you decide to repair or replace your appliance, think about the age of the machine, the cost of repair, the price of a new unit, its energy efficiency, and whether you need to modify your kitchen to fit a new one. If you're handy with a socket wrench, you may be able to perform simple repairs yourself and save on labor costs. We've performed millions of GE appliance repairs on refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves and more.

When an appliance is old and not working efficiently, it can be tempting to replace it instead of repairing it. The closer your appliance is to its expiration date, the more likely it is that replacing it is the better option. According to The Major Appliance Blues Survey by Allstate Protection Plans, 95% of homeowners have experienced an appliance breakdown at some point and more than 40% have had a problem in the past year. Regular maintenance of appliances can help avoid costly breakdowns, reduce energy costs, and extend the life of appliances. Notini from the Appliance Manufacturers Association suggests that if you plan to stay in your home for 10 to 15 years, upgrading appliances is a good idea.
