Refrigerator Repair

Whether it's worth repairing a broken fridge depends on several factors. Here are some considerations:

1. Age of the Fridge: If your fridge is relatively new and still under warranty, a repair might be fully or partially covered, making it a cost-effective option. Refrigerators typically have a lifespan of about 10-15 years, so if yours is within this range or younger, it might be worth fixing.

2. Cost of Repair vs. Replacement: Evaluate the repair cost quoted by our technician against the price of buying a new refrigerator. A good rule of thumb is if the repair cost is less than half the price of a new fridge, it's generally worth repairing.

3. Type of Problem: Some issues, like a faulty seal or a single part replacement, are simple and inexpensive. However, if the compressor is broken and your fridge is old, it might not be cost-effective to repair.

4. Energy Efficiency: Newer models are more energy-efficient. If your broken fridge is an older, less efficient model, investing in a new one might save you money on energy bills in the long run.

5. Environmental Consideration: Repairing an appliance is often the most environmentally friendly since it extends the appliance's life and keeps it out of landfills.

At Excellence Appliance Repair, we provide a professional assessment to help you decide whether a repair is worth it for your refrigerator. We'll give you an honest recommendation so you can make an informed decision.

A person who fixes refrigerators is commonly referred to as an appliance repair technician or a refrigerator technician. At Excellence Appliance Repair, our skilled appliance repair technicians specialize in diagnosing and fixing issues with refrigerators to ensure they run smoothly again.

When deciding whether to repair or replace a refrigerator, the cost is a significant factor. In many cases, repairing a refrigerator can be cheaper than buying a new one, especially if the issue is minor, like a faulty gasket, a defective thermostat, or a broken fan. However, if the refrigerator is old and the repair cost is more than half the price of a new refrigerator, it might be more economical to invest in a new model. Additionally, newer refrigerators are more energy-efficient, saving you money on your electricity bills in the long run.

At Excellence Appliance Repair, we can assess the problem and give you a transparent and affordable quote so you can make an informed decision about whether to repair your refrigerator or replace it. We also offer a warranty on parts and labor to give you peace of mind with your choice.

When deciding whether a 13-year-old refrigerator is worth repairing, it depends on a few factors. Here at Excellence Appliance Repair, we suggest considering the cost of repairs versus the price of a new refrigerator. If the repair cost is less than half the price of a new fridge and your old one still has several years of potential service, it might be cost-effective to repair it.

Additionally, the type and severity of the problem play a crucial role. Minor issues such as a faulty thermostat or a worn seal can often be fixed quickly and extend the life of your refrigerator for several years. However, if the refrigerator requires a new compressor or has a leak in the sealed system, the repair could be more costly and may not be worth it.

Moreover, older refrigerators are less energy-efficient than newer models, so you should also consider potential energy savings over time with a new appliance.

We are happy to inspect your refrigerator and provide a professional recommendation based on our assessment. Our transparent pricing and warranty on parts and labor will ensure you can make an informed decision about your appliance.
