Frequently asked questions

Hiring appliance specialists

How much do appliance specialists typically charge?
Costs for appliance specialists vary widely depending on the appliance type and job complexity. Simple plug-in installs or basic diagnostics are generally less than repairs that involve electrical or refrigerant work, which often require registered technicians. Most quotes combine a call-out fee, labour time and parts, with after-hours work usually costing more. This page shows live pricing for your area to help compare estimates.
Do appliance specialists charge call-out fees?
Yes — call-out fees are common to cover attendance and the on-site diagnosis. The call-out is usually separate from hourly labour and parts costs, and providers often apply higher rates for after-hours or emergency visits. It's worth confirming whether the quoted price includes the call-out fee and any minimum charge.
When do appliance specialists need a licence?
When electrical wiring, fixed appliance connections or refrigerant handling is involved, appliance specialists usually need to be registered or hold a relevant licence in the applicable state. Refrigerant work typically requires an ARC Tick or equivalent refrigerant licence, and electrical scope should be covered by a valid state electrical/appliance licence number. Registration rules vary by state and territory, so it's sensible to check credentials and that the provider can show their licence on quotes or invoices when regulated work is required.

Using SureQuote

Is the SureQuote estimate a quote, and why can a tradie's quote be different?
No. Your estimate is a guide price for a typical job that matches your answers. A tradie prices your actual job in their quote, once they've seen things like access, condition, materials and the full scope. Read the full answer
What happens after I submit my job, and how many tradies will contact me?
We email you your estimate and a link to your job. Up to 3 local tradies can take it and contact you to quote; only they get your name, phone and email, and you choose who to hire, if anyone. Read the full answer
Is it free to get quotes, and does the tradie's fee raise my price?
Yes, getting quotes is free and you don't have to hire anyone. Tradies pay us a capped fee to take your job, and we set it before they quote, so nothing is added to your quote. Read the full answer
Can I add photos to my job?
Yes. Add up to 10 photos in the chat after you give your contact details, or later from the job in Hire, and tradies see them before they take the job. Read the full answer
Do I have to hire one of the tradies?
No. Getting quotes is free, you're never obliged to hire anyone, and you pay only the tradie you choose to hire. Read the full answer
Does SureQuote check tradies' licences and insurance?
We collect each business's ABN, licence, insurance and warranty details and keep them as up to date as we can, so you can see them in one place on its profile. We don't guarantee them, so always check the licence yourself on the relevant licence register before you hire. Read the full answer
