To replace, or not to replace? That is the question. Whether its more cost effective to repair, or simply spring for a new model.
When it comes to appliances like ovens and fridges, Angie's List recommends using a "cost+age" formula to determine whether to replace or repair. If the repair of an appliance will cost more than half the price of buying a new one, and if it's nearing the end of its useful life, replace it.
"If the consumer made an initial investment in that that was pretty large and they can get it fixed for a couple hundred dollars, they may opt to repair," says Ryan Wagner, an appliance store manager.
Angie's List research shows that there are still plenty of repair people in the industry for when you need them, and we're one of them! Call us at 208-344-6700 anytime!
