A survey by Consumer Reports (CR) found that both consumers and manufacturers believe that most household appliances should last 10 years. However, CR also found that most appliances should start having problems within two to five years. At that point, to make your appliance last its full lifespan, you will need an appliance repair service.
However, a poor appliance repair company will likely not fix the problem, or they might make it worse. To get the best repair for a broken household appliance, you need the best kind of repair company. The problem is that you may not know how to find such a business.
Read on for tips that can help enhance your repair service search.
You probably know some fellow locals in your area. The next time you see any of them, consider asking them if they'd recommend any local appliance repair service they've used. At least a few of them should have had a good experience with a local business.
If you don't know any locals, go online. You should be able to find social media subgroups that are centered around your local area. Once you're there, you can ask your fellow locals in that subgroup about their appliance repairman experiences.
Once you learn about some appliance repair companies, find their websites. You should then search for particular information to make sure the company is operating legally. Repair technicians often have to have licenses to fix certain appliances.
The licenses that a technician needs to legally fix small appliances vary from state to state. However, it's against federal law to repair any refrigerated appliances without certification from the Environmental Protection Agency. If you're unable to find information about the latter licensing on the site or via customer service, don't work with that company.
If more than one company has proper licensing for and experience with repairing appliances, check for professionalism. A company that cares about pleasing its customers and running a fair and honest business should have this.
There are a few ways that you can check for professionalism. One is to check the website. If the company's site is bug-free, well-organized, and fairly attractive, it may be worth working with them.
Another way is to call customer service. Is the operator on the other end polite and knowledgeable? You'll likely get the same treatment when the repairman shows up to fix your appliance.
As you can see, it may take a bit of work to get the best appliance repair service rather than just a regular quality one. However, if you get frustrated while doing this work, remember that it'll be worth having a fully functional appliance in the end.
