Why Appliance Repair?
1
Freon Leaks
If you have a freon leak, you are polluting the environment. Have a technician come out and diagnose and repair the problem to help save your appliance and our environment.
3
Hazardous Materials
Many appliances contain components with materials that are hazardous to our environment when disposed. There are heavy metals, computer boards and other toxins that leech into the environment when you throw away your appliances.
5
Pollution
The constant manufacturing and disposing process is causing a lot of pollution. Instead of using precious resources to buy a new, cheaply made appliance, you can often spend less money to fix your old appliance, and you will have a machine likely to last longer than something you can buy new.
7
Water
There is an incredible amount of water used in the manufacturing and shipping process! It takes 24 gallons of water to make 1 pound of plastic and
55 gallons of water to make 1 pound of synthetic rubber. It takes 97 gallons of water to produce 1 gallon of gas!
2
Disposing Refrigerators
When getting rid of your old refrigerator, you need to hire a professionsal to recover freon from the system to prevent it from leaking. Why not just fix it? If you have an older refrigerator without all the crazy computers appliances have these days, a simple refrigerator repair will often allow it outlive a lot of new, cheaply made appliances these days.

Petroleum
Throwing away your old appliance uses a lot more resources than you'd think! First, you are adding to the great amount of trash and pollution we are already scrambling to handle. Then, your appliance is often made in a factory, possibly overseas, and then is shipped to a store to be sold.
6
Plastic
There is a great deal of plastic used in the manufacturing of appliances these days. We are all learning the dangers of the amount of plastic we have been producing and the amount of chemicals and pollution given off from the production of plastic, as well as the disposal of plastic.
8
Money!
In the end, it is often cheaper to repair your appliance. If you have a nice old maytag washer or dryer, performing some basic maintenance and repairs once in a while will give you a reliable machine known to last decades. New appliances are not made like they used to be, and are often planned to be obsolete and replaced in a few years. We can help you save some money!
