3. Specialty Repairs – Understanding Rate Multipliers
Sometimes, certain repairs require more time, special equipment, or extra steps like disconnecting utilities to access the appliance. In these cases, a rate multiplier may apply, adjusting the labor cost based on complexity. We’ll always provide a clear explanation and confirm the costs before proceeding.
Common Examples of Specialty Repairs:
Induction Cooktops – Advanced technology requiring more disassembly.
Propane Ranges – May involve gas disconnection and reconnection.
Stacked Washer Setups – Tight spaces may require additional labor to access.
Dishwasher Removal - Utilities not long enough to remove from the cabinet and need to be disconnected.
Rest assured, we’ll discuss any potential rate changes upfront so you can make an informed decision.
Detailed Example: Dryer Heating Element Replacement
Curious about what a specific repair might look like? Here’s a real-world example:
Simple Fix: Replacing a heating element in an easy-to-access dryer? This often just requires the diagnostic fee of $85+tx with no additional labour invoiced.
Complex Fix: If the dryer is in a cramped closet, requires disconnection of water lines for a steam dryer, or needs vent adjustments, additional time may be needed especially if the dryer cabinet has a large lint buildup. In this case, the labor charge may be adjusted for a multiplier based on complexity.
We handle each situation individually as they are as unique as you to ensure that you get the best possible personal service without paying for unnecessary extras!
