The day one of your appliances stops working or has major problems, you may to face a crucial question: Is it worth getting an appliance fixed, or would it be better to replace it, moneywise and time wise? Usually, if you call an appliance repair technician, he will give you the heads up on the condition of the appliance and will give you answer fairly quickly and could save you lots of money on future appliance repair. While choosing between repair and replacement, many questions have to be studied. Is it better to replace or repair appliances? It depends on several factors. Here are a few factors to consider. 

• Would the new appliance fit?
  You also have to think about the costs of your cabinets or other accommodations for a newer and different model.
    
• How old is the appliance?
  Always keep in mind that after 10 years of usage, an appliance might have given all it got. It might use a lot of energy and be loud as well.

Consider the age and history of the appliance. Has it broken and has it needed repair in the past? If you’ve not had previous problems, it may be cost-effective to explore repair options first. Very often, you will come to the conclusion that it can be worth the money to get the appliance fixed. The cost of a service call and parts is most of the time a lot less than a new appliance.
