Appliance repair can be quite costly, especially if you have major appliances that break down or require maintenance frequently. Based on homeowner reports, the average cost for appliance repair is $220, with most spending between $135 and $300.

Hourly rates for an appliance repair professional can fall between $100 and $260 per hour. Note that smaller repairs that take less than an hour may still cost the same price as a full hour of work. Whenever possible, try to group your appliance repairs together to save time and money.

Why do appliance repair services charge for a service call? Understanding a Service call Charge

1. It’s costs money to send out a qualified repair person, in a car, with repair parts with him/her.
2. The appliance may be better replaced instead of fixed. So we charge a fee and you can decide if you want to fix it or get a new one.
3. Some people expect it will be cheap to fix and balk when they hear the real costs. So our technician got paid for their time invested.
