3 Reasons A Professional Should Fix Your Appliances

Posted On May 8, 2019

“Don’t call someone. I’ll fix it.” Those are two sentences that, when paired, ran a touch rampant in my home. Plenty of days and evenings were spent holding the flashlight (never in the right place) while my dad worked on something, such as the car, the washer, the dryer, or a mower. Something was broke,n but “I can fix it.” Just because you can doesn’t mean you should, Dad! A few compelling reasons exist for hiring a professional appliance repairer in Los Angeles.

Those reasons are pretty easy. On top of those, there’s the added benefit of not having to do it yourself (or have your guy fix it). If you need appliance repair, here are three reasons a professional should fix it.

1. Warranty

Not even a warranty would stop my dad from trying to fix it himself or attempting to do so. This is the first reason not to fix your appliances yourself. Get a professional to do it, and in doing so, you’ll still be under warranty. Unfortunately, if you decide to fix the broken appliance yourself, you’ll likely void the warranty. Then if it breaks, you’ll be in trouble. Don’t open it up yourself and let a professional look at it.

2. More Likely To Get Fixed

There’s a reason that you pay the repairman. It’s not a nicety, it’s because they’ve devoted themselves to their work. They know what they’re doing and what needs to be done. Your guy who fixes things probably doesn’t. When you hire an actual professional to fix your appliances, there’s a quality guarantee.

Then there’s the matter of long-term solutions. I’ve seen it happen plenty of times where the fix that Dad would put on whatever broke wasn’t the proper fix. This, in turn, would cause more things to break than when they were broken, ultimately making the repair more expensive than when it was needed the first time. Plus, you’re out the time you invested in the repair. It’s just better to have a professional handle it.

3. Saves Time

I suspect we’ve been at that point, where parts are all over the floor and the appliance that had a raddle is now unrecognizable. It’s just metal parts and extra screws that I’m sure it didn’t need. Now it’s been days, and you’re hanging the clothes out on a newly fashioned clothesline. Everyone is tired of the process, and you just want it to be done, but giving in and calling the repairman would be a besmirchment of Dad’s honor. Because “I can fix it.”

If he had just called a professional, it could’ve been fixed the first day, without all the headaches. We already devote so much of our waking lives to working outside the house that we shouldn’t have to work inside it. Call the repairman and ensure that the project will be dealt with faster and easier than if you had done it yourself.

Conclusion

Dad (and any other dads out there), just call someone to fix it. I know you want to have a project and are excited, but it’s not worth your investment of time and energy. A repairman won’t violate the warranty, it’ll be done faster, and the solution they implement will be able to last. If you need appliance repair in Los Angeles, don’t hesitate… For your kid’s sanity.
