Appliance Sales questions, answered by experts

In most cases, the repair is worth the value as it should help maintain the life of the appliance for a longer period, and the repair should be a lower cost than replacing the entire unit. For example, if the cost to repair your refrigerator will be more than 50% of the cost to buy a new one, and it’s 10 years old or more, then it may not be worth repairing.

Choosing a unit with higher BTUs can use more electricity if the BTUs are more than what’s necessary for your room size. However, choosing an AC with BTUs that match the size of your room or house, your unit will cool your space efficiently. On the flip side, choosing a system with not enough BTUs can cause the system to work harder to try to cool the space, leading to more electricity consumption and higher energy bills.

Most standard refrigerators last between 10 and 18 years, though the average life expectancy is about 14 years. Compact fridges have shorter life spans, usually between 4 and 12 years. To maximize your fridge’s life expectancy, be sure to clean it regularly and schedule regular maintenance with a local refrigerator repair company.

Costs depend on item size, accessibility, and additional services like disconnection or recycling.

If you want to save money on the cost of kitchen appliances, opt for basic color options like black or white. Stainless steel is usually a mid-range option; prices have come down somewhat now that it’s so widely available. Expect to spend the most for custom or bold colors, like a pink fridge or a gold-toned stove.
