What factors determine the decision to repair an appliance versus buying a new one?
Appliance repair technician, Bob Dougherty has noticed an increase in consumers decision making factors that determine whether they should repair or replace appliances. “I think the reason for this is because people are uncomfortable with the idea of spending money on a new appliance when their existing appliance can be repaired for much less,” said Dougherty. “I’ve even found that people will choose appliance repair even if the cost is only $100 less than the purchase price of a new one
Before the recession, people were comfortable with the idea of buying a new appliance if the repair costs of their existing appliance would be more than 50% of the purchase price of a new appliance.
According to Dougherty, there are other reasons people will choose to replace old appliances including Energy Star ratings based on energy efficient features, technical improvements and sleeker looks.
On the other hand, if people are happy with their current appliances, they will choose to seek a reputable appliance repair technician that will provide quality service at a fair price. “These days people are saving every cent they can as they seek reputable, affordable appliance repair services.”
Bob Dougherty will not perform an expensive appliance repair service without informing his customer of their options. “If I feel that the appliance is not worth repairing, I will advise the customer,” said Dougherty. “Of course, if they are determined to repair the appliance, I will comply with their wishes.”
Bob Dougherty advises consumers to do their research before hiring an appliance repair service. “Look for a company with a great level of experience and a reputation for customer satisfaction,” said Dougherty. “Check with the Better Business Bureau for complaint reports. Most importantly, make sure they are licensed and insured and authorized to work on your appliances.”
