FAQ
Service requestShould I repair or replace?
There always comes a time when one of your home appliances becomes defective and you haveto wonder whether you should repair or replace it. For your information, here are the fourconditions our technicians use to help them recommend whether to repair or completely replacesaid defective appliance:
- Physical State : is the general condition of your appliance acceptable, without any major signs of rust or corrosion?
- Mechanical State : in addition to the defect, does your appliance work silently, without any appearance of leakage, odors or any other mechanical signs?
- Cost of Repair : As a general rule, the repair should cost around half as much as a new appliance with the same set of features.
- Extension of Life Expectancy : will the repair extend the appliance’s life to 2 to 4 years?
In summary, if the appliance’s physical and mechanical conditions are satisfactory, the cost torepair it is about half the price of a new unit, and if the remedy would lengthen its life for two ormore years, your technician will recommend having your appliance repaired. Ultimately, you’llsave money on the long run!

I bought my own part, can you install it?
I found a cheaper part elsewhere.
The prices of the parts we offer include the following:
- We research and order the correct generation of parts.
- The parts are delivered to us, and we then deliver it to you.
- The parts we offer are inspected and guaranteed for one year, as well as the labour.
In general, how much does a repair cost?
I don't know the model number. Is this a problem?
Although we hold in stock a vast inventory of parts, it is possible that we do not have the one that is needed for your appliance, which would oblige us to make a return visit. We do not bill additional travel fees, we do strive to save yours and our time.
Will you bill me for two service calls if the technician is obligated to come back to install a replacement part?
Do you credit the service call if I accept you do the repair work on my appliance?
