Tired of seeing your bank account shrink after an appliance repair bill? You're not alone. The truth is, many repairs don't need to break the bank. We've dug into the real costs behind common fixes and found some smart ways to save. Let's cut through the noise and focus on what actually works for your wallet.
That 10-year-old water heater? It's probably got sediment clogging the tank. Flushing it every 1-2 years costs £20-£50 and can add 3-5 years to its life. Skipping this step? You're risking a leaky tank that costs £300+ to replace. The fix is simple: turn off power, attach a hose, and drain the tank. Do it yourself or call us for a quick, cheap service. Your future self will thank you when the hot water stays on.
Boilers are a nightmare when they die in winter. But if your boiler's making strange noises or taking forever to heat up, it might just need a £100 tune-up instead of a £1,000 replacement. Same goes for fridges—when the back feels hot or food's not staying cold, it's often a simple thermostat fix. Don't wait for the freezer to turn into a warm room. Catching small issues early saves you from the big bills later.
Washing machines? The drum replacement is usually the costliest part. If your machine's leaking or making loud thuds, it might be cheaper to replace the drum than the whole unit. And for extractor fans—yes, you can DIY the install if you're handy, but get the wiring right first. One wrong move and you're facing a £200 electrician bill.
We've helped hundreds of Taunton homes avoid costly mistakes. No hidden fees, no upsells—just honest advice. If your appliance's acting up, ask: 'Is this a quick fix or a full replacement?' Sometimes it's as simple as tightening a loose hose. Other times, it's knowing when to call a pro. Our team's on call for exactly that.
Save money by treating your appliances right. A little maintenance now means fewer headaches (and bills) later. Ready to stop overpaying for repairs? Let's get your appliances running smoothly without the stress.
