Appliance Repair Or Replacement, Questions To Ask Yourself

10/5/2018

​Deciding between repairing an appliance and replacing it with a new unit can be a rather confusing task. Contrary to popular opinion, repairing broken appliances isn't always the best way to save money. Luckily, you don´t need to be worried if you feel conflicted; we are here to help you identify if it is better to replace your unit or repair it. Here are some questions you must ask yourself first;
  • What will the repair cost?
The general rule of thumb implies that you should proceed to replace an appliance if the repair cost is more than 50 percent of the cost of a new one. Of course, you also need to factor in the cost and logistics of installing a new unit. However, if your unit experiences a major failure and requires huge expenditures in labor and parts to fix it, it is in your best interest to purchase a new unit.  
  • How old is your appliance?
Well, experts indicate that you should consider replacing an appliance that is more than halfway through its expected lifespan rather than have it repaired. How old is too old then? Well, according to reliable reports, the average lifespan of common appliances such as a dishwasher is 9 years, disposal is 12 years, freezer is 11, and exhaust fan is 10 years.
  • Are you looking to cut down on your energy consumption?
If you want to cut down on your energy consumption, the breakdown of your appliance may actually be a blessing in disguise. You can finally get the energy efficient appliance you have always dreamed of. The new appliance will save you plenty on electrical bills in the long run.

Thanks for pointing out that a replacement is already needed when the cost of the appliance repair is 50% more than the cost of a new one. I will keep that in mind because I need to get my ceiling fan checked this weekend after it did not spin when I turned it on. Hopefully, we can still get it fixed because I only have a limited budget at the moment after the bills I paid.

I agree that in terms of electricity bills in the long run, you can save money on new appliances more than the old ones.
