How Much Should Appliance Repair Cost

The average expense for most appliance repairs is $175, and the typical range is from $125 – $500. Three common elements affect how much you will pay labor, service charge, and parts.


That being said, the price you’ll pay depends on various factors such as the type of repair you need the brand of your appliance and your area. For example, someone living in New York City or San Francisco will typically pay a higher price for a repair than say, someone in Nebraska and typically pay more for a Subzero refrigerator repair then a whirlpool refrigerator repair.


Your specific price will also fluctuate based on the type and brand of parts needed, the amount of damage and the labor time required for your technician to complete the repair.



Cost vs. Worth

As the old saying goes “you get what you pay for.” Be weary of prices that seem too good to be true - they probably are. A common sales pitch we hear all the time is " Free service calls with repair." Dont be supprised when they ask to collect there service call fee when there done diagnosing the problem.


While price should always be a big factor to consider, it’s even more important to find service that has a strong value, with skilled technicians that stand by their work with " real reviews " to back them up. You should also look for a company with clear, upfront pricing from the get go, so you won’t get one price initially and a totally different price when it’s time for payment.


At General Appliance Service , we’re happy to offer a superior value for your money, with high quality, OEM parts, convenient appointment slots as soon as same-day, and a 90-day guarantee on all parts and labor. Our standard labor rate starts at just $149, and, if you decide to move forward with a repair with us, we will roll your $89 service call fee into the repair, it is not an additional fee like most service companies.


Our skilled technicians can be there the same day to diagnose and fix your appliance for you whenever it suits your busy schedule . For just $89, we’ll come perform a thorough diagnostic on your appliance to pinpoint the exact issue, and, if you decide to move forward with our recommended repair, we’ll credit this fee towards the repair.
