Choosing Appliance Repair Services


by Mark Etinger

At some point in time, your major appliances will eventually need repair. Hopefully for your sake it will be minor repairs that won't cost you a fortune. But don't be so surprised when the $1200 washing machine goes on the fritz. If you thought making a decision for the appliance itself was bad enough, try searching for a reliable appliance repair company.

Price and reliability are the two most important factors. Everyone worries about being ripped off when it comes to any type of repair service. You're not an expert on Maytag dryer repair after all, how are you supposed to know how much these repairs typically cost? Searching online though has made life much easier. A quick internet search will allow you to compare the typical costs of several different companies, as well as how much others have paid for similar repair problems. Just keep in mind that unless you know the exact problem, the price will vary depending on where you live and what repairs need to be done.

In order to have a better grasp on the price, try to do some troubleshooting before calling for repair. If you know for certain that a particular part needs to be replaced, you can purchase it yourself for a much cheaper price and then you'll only need to pay for the installation. Regardless, you can have a much better idea about what you're dealing with so you're not flabbergasted when the repairmen gives you the estimate.

Expert service is key. You don't want to find out that while tinkering with the dryer, the repairman damaged something else and wants to charge you extra for it. You want to know that once the repair is done, the problem is not going to come back. This is why looking up reviews can be very crucial. You need trustworthy people servicing these expensive appliances. After narrowing down the selection quite a bit, ensure that the appliance repair service you choose can actually work on your specific models and brands. As long as you own one of the major brands, that shouldn't be a problem. I would be wary if a company couldn't repair Maytag or Whirlpool.

Lastly, see how quickly you can schedule an appointment. A booked company shows that it is trustworthy if enough people are using them, but you don't want to be a week without your washing machine or refrigerator. You want the appointment quickly as well as the time it takes to purchase new parts to fix the problem. Sometimes the wait for certain parts can be quite some time if it's a special piece or something from a much older model.
