Repair or Replace? When an Appliance Is Worth Fixing

Not sure whether to repair or replace? Use the 50% rule and these factors to decide.

The 50% rule

If a repair costs more than 50% of a new appliance AND the unit is past half its lifespan, replacement makes sense. Otherwise, repair is cheaper.

Typical lifespans

Refrigerators 10–13 years, washers & dryers 10–13, dishwashers 9–12, ovens 13–15, disposals 8–12 years.

Beyond age

Consider brand quality and how much you like the appliance. A flat-rate quote from us makes the math easy.
