When a household appliance stops working, daily routines quickly fall apart. The most common question homeowners ask is: should I repair or replace my appliance?

Consumer Reports explains that many appliances are replaced years before the end of their useful life. Understanding repair vs replacement can save money and reduce stress.

When Appliance Repair Is the Better Option

Minor appliance issues such as faulty switches, worn belts, sensors, or thermostats are often affordable to fix and do not indicate total appliance failure.

The EPA encourages repairing appliances to reduce waste and extend lifespan, reinforcing sustainability and cost-effectiveness.

If your appliance is under ten years old or still covered by warranty, appliance repair in London is typically the best option. Repairs costing less than half the replacement price usually make financial sense.

When Appliance Replacement Makes More Sense

Appliances over ten years old that require frequent repairs can cost more to maintain than replace. They also consume more electricity and water.

Energy Star highlights modern appliances that offer improved energy efficiency and long-term savings.
