Repair Costs Explained

Understand the cost before you commit. We quote each repair as a job, with parts listed separately.

Appliance diagnostic fee$85credited toward repair labor

$85 In-Home Appliance Diagnosis

We inspect your appliance and provide a repair quote. The $85 fee is credited toward repair labor when you proceed.

Diagnostic fee details

Example: A $245 labor quote minus your paid $85 diagnostic fee leaves $160 in labor. Parts and applicable tax are separate.

30-day diagnostic follow-up: If we completed a related repair within the last 30 days, the follow-up diagnostic fee is waived.

Additional assistance: Difficult access, appliance removal, dollies or an additional technician may require diagnostic work to be quoted as labor. Your technician explains the work and any charge and gets your approval before starting.

Pricing Questions & Answers

What determines my labor cost?

Your quote reflects the repair, appliance access, brand and model complexity, safety requirements, and any specialized components or tools needed. Higher prices apply to more involved work, not automatically to every job. We explain the total before you approve the repair.

Is the $85 diagnostic fee credited toward a repair?

Yes. If you proceed with an appliance repair, the $85 diagnostic fee is applied to the labor cost. Parts are quoted separately.

How long is my repair quote valid?

Your quote is valid for 30 days. If you decide to proceed during that time, your paid diagnostic fee is credited toward the final repair bill.

Is the diagnostic fee due if a part has been discontinued?

Yes. The diagnostic fee covers the inspection and diagnosis even when suppliers no longer carry the required part.

Will I automatically pay the highest amount shown?

No. Your quote reflects the work your repair actually requires. The higher end usually applies to more involved work that requires additional time, difficult access or extra disassembly. Some high-end appliances need more complex work. Actual labor can be lower or higher than the typical range; we explain and confirm your quote before you approve it.

Do you charge by the hour?

No. Repair labor is priced per job and starts at $185. It covers diagnosis and completion of the agreed repair. Your technician explains the work and confirms the price before you approve it. Parts are quoted separately.

Will I pay labor again if the technician needs to return?

No. Your agreed labor price covers all visits needed to complete the same repair, whether it takes two, three or more visits. If the technician cannot finish on the first visit or needs to return with an ordered part, you are not charged labor again for that same agreed repair.

Are parts and sales tax included in labor prices?

No. Parts are quoted separately, and applicable sales tax is charged on parts. The tax amount depends on the service location.

Do you take deposits?

Yes. Please ask about the deposit required for your specific repair when reviewing the quote.

Which payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, checks, credit cards, Apple Pay, Venmo and Zelle. Published processing fees are 3%–3.6% for credit cards and 2.5% for Venmo. Confirm the applicable fee before payment.

What warranty applies to repairs?

Standard appliance repairs include 90 days of parts and labor coverage. Compressor and sealed system repairs include one year of labor coverage; parts remain covered for 90 days. Cleaning services are excluded.

Are follow-up diagnostic visits covered?

If we completed a related repair within the last 30 days, the follow-up diagnostic fee is waived. This is separate from the repair warranty.

Do you offer a seniors or veterans discount?

Seniors and veterans receive $20 off labor. Mention this when scheduling your service.

How are home service prices determined?

The listed rates are starting prices or unit rates. Your final quote depends on the property and is provided after an on-site assessment. See the service details for materials and add-ons.
