This blog answers the most common appliance repair FAQs so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
💰 How much does an appliance service call cost?
Service call fees can vary depending on your location and the type of appliance. In Arizona, the average cost for an appliance service call typically ranges from $75 to $125.
At Dynamic Appliance Repair, our service call includes a full diagnostic inspection of your appliance. If you proceed with the repair, we apply the service fee toward your final bill—so you only pay for the repair, not the visit.
Our technicians at Dynamic use industry-leading tools and hands-on experience to give you an accurate diagnosis and upfront quote—no surprises.
🤔 Are you supposed to tip an appliance repairman?
While tipping isn’t expected or standard in the appliance repair industry, it’s always appreciated if you feel the technician went above and beyond.
That said, the best way to show your appreciation? Leave a 5-star review or refer us to a friend—something that truly helps small, local businesses like ours grow.
⚖️ What is the 50/50 rule for appliances?
The 50/50 rule is a helpful guideline for deciding whether to repair or replace an appliance. Here’s how it works:
- If your appliance is more than 50% through its expected lifespan,
- and the repair will cost more than 50% of the price of a new appliance,
👉 it’s probably time to replace it.
Our technicians always provide honest, transparent advice about whether a repair is worth it based on your specific situation.
