THE DECISION DESK
Repair or replace?
Do the simple math.
Use actual quotes to compare costs. The calculator does not predict failures or decide what is right for your appliance.
YOUR COMPARISON
Enter your numbers and select Compare costs.
Cost is one part of the decision.
Compare the scope of each quote. If diagnosis is charged separately, include any non-credited diagnostic amount in the repair total. Include taxes in both options on the same basis. Don’t count a fee twice if it is already included.
A lower repair price does not guarantee good value. Consider the confirmed fault, other known issues, parts availability, remaining manufacturer coverage and the warranty offered on the repair. A replacement quote should include any necessary connection work, delivery and disposal.
How the calculation works
Installed replacement cost = appliance price + delivery and installation + removal and other costs. The repair percentage equals the repair quote divided by that total, multiplied by 100. The cost difference is installed replacement minus the repair quote.
There is no universal percentage that makes a repair the right choice. This tool excludes energy costs, financing, future breakdowns and resale value. It uses only your entries and works in your browser.
