Accepted Answer

We recommend the 50% Economic Rule: if the repair quote is less than 50% of the replacement cost of a comparable new unit, and the appliance has completed less than 75% of its expected lifecycle, repairing it delivers significantly higher return on investment and prevents landfill waste.

Question 11

11. How does local water hardness in Rochester affect my appliance?

Accepted Answer

Depending on municipal water supplies across Rochester and New York, dissolved calcium and magnesium scale can accumulate in solenoid valves, heating elements, and drain pumps, reducing efficiency and leading to premature component failure without periodic descaling.

Question 12
