Few things can complicate our lives like a household appliance breaking down, and not everyone can afford to rush out and buy a new refrigerator or washing machine when there’s a malfunction. For most, a reliable appliance repair service is the best alternative. But how can you tell if the repair tech you’ve hired is up to the task? 

Honest & Fair Appliance Repair in Monroe, NY, understands that struggle, and they have a few pointers for what homemakers should look for when their appliances are in need of repair:

• Reputation: Repair technicians are made or broken by their reputations. Before you start playing phone book roulette in search of their service, make sure you reach out to your friends and neighbors to find out which services they’ve used—and which ones they’ll never use again. You might also think about making the same inquiries with a local real estate company and, if all else fails, visit online message boards for first-person accounts from the general public.
• Professionalism: You’re hiring a pro to do the work, so they should act accordingly. That means the appliance repair service you hire should be on time for scheduled work and prepared for the job with all necessary parts or equipment, and they should always leave their work area cleaner than they found it. 
• Know-How: Of course, your repair tech should be knowledgeable enough to do the work right. Shop around for services and don’t be afraid to ask prospective techs about their training, certifications, or accreditations. Ask if they’re bonded, if they have references, and if they guarantee their own work. Note their responses and compare answers before making your final decisions. 

Above all else, find a repair technician that you can trust. It may sound silly, but if you feel like a repair tech isn’t shooting straight with you, they probably aren’t.
