Lake Appliance Repair helps their customers know how to determine when to repair an appliance and when to replace it.

Fair Oaks, CA (USA), November 19, 2012 — Lake Appliance Repair in Fair Oaks CA knows that their customers need to stretch every penny. Sometimes it means holding off on that new appliance purchase and instead fixing the old one hoping to get a little more life out of it. Sometimes, however, putting money into a way-past-prime appliance will cost one more money in the long term and the technician may advise against it.

Before times got tough, the decision to buy a new appliance was easier to make. Today however, more and more consumers are opting to repair what they already own instead of spending the money to buy new appliances. Unfortunately this is not good for the appliance industry, but homeowners need to save money and are tightening their belts and deciding to repair their old appliance. If it is cost-effective, one should consider a repair instead, but when is it cost effective to do so?

Generally speaking if one can put as much as half the cost of a new appliance into their old appliance and keep it running efficiently for 2-3 years, then that probably is a good investment. However, if the appliance is simply worn out and one is only bandaging it to last a couple of more months, then purchasing a new one might be the most frugal decision.

Many times appliance repair professionals at Lake Appliance Repair go on a service call to repair a machine and have to write a laundry list of the parts that the machine would need to get it running again. Most unscrupulous repair companies would simply repair the appliance and not care how long the repair would last. Techs at Lake Appliance Repair treat their customers the way they would want to be treated and present the truth to their customers. If the machine is not worth fixing, they will tell the customer. Honesty and integrity is what sets Lake Appliance Repair apart from other appliance service companies.

Energy efficiency may be another reason to replace an old appliance with a new one. A freezer from the 60’s for example, may still work great but may be costing the homeowner more money in energy costs than a newer, higher energy-efficient freezer would. Over a period of a couple of years, the dollars saved in energy savings could almost pay for a new one. In these cases, sometimes it is best to just bite the bullet and replace it.

Consumers should do their homework hiring an appliance repair service to repair an old appliance. The cost of the repair may be enough to buy a new one. Of course, consumers can shop around and get the best deal on an out of the box appliance, or perhaps they should consider an appliance sold at a scratch and dent sale. Sometimes these appliances are very affordable and my equal the cost of repairing the old one.

If it is decided to repair the old appliance, one should make sure that they find someone who specializes in refrigerator repair, dishwasher repair and other major appliance repair.
