Pricing guide

Costs are mainly driven by diagnostic time, the parts required and whether the appliance is freestanding, built‑in or a sealed‑system. Jobs that need careful extraction, two‑person lifts, refrigerant recovery or registered specialist technicians will typically be more expensive than straightforward on‑site repairs, and after‑hours attendance usually attracts higher rates.

  • Callout and diagnostic time

    The initial visit fee and the hours spent diagnosing the fault directly affect the labour component of a quote.

  • Parts type and availability

    Brand‑specific or hard‑to‑source components typically increase materials lead time and the overall scope.

  • Integrated versus freestanding units

    Built‑in appliances often require careful removal and re‑installation or cabinet work, which adds labour and handling time.

  • Sealed‑system and refrigerant/gas work

    Repairs involving refrigerant, compressors or gas handling usually need registered specialists and may require recovery, workshop work or follow‑up visits.

  • Access, lifting and site conditions

    Tight spaces, heavy units or awkward access that need two‑person lifts or extra protective measures increase the time and complexity.

Frequently asked questions

How long will the repair usually take?
For common faults with readily available parts, a technician will typically complete work in a single on‑site visit. More complex issues, sealed‑system faults or when parts must be ordered can extend the job or require a follow‑up appointment.
Will you need to remove a built‑in appliance?
If the unit is integrated or within cabinetry, technicians will usually need extra time for careful extraction and re‑installation. This can also uncover minor cabinet repairs that may be quoted separately by a cabinet or joinery tradesperson.
Do refrigerant or gas repairs need a registered technician?
Repairs involving refrigerant, compressors or gas handling generally require a registered technician with the relevant certification. Such work often needs refrigerant recovery, compliance paperwork and may involve workshop or specialist resources.
What happens if parts aren’t available on‑site?
If a required part isn’t available, the technician will usually order it and arrange a return visit to complete the repair. Lead times and whether a temporary fix is possible will typically depend on part availability and the appliance brand.
