Appliance Repair Tips Toronto
Appliance repairs often strike at the most inopportune times. Unfortunately, they can leave a gaping wound in your budget, if you don’t plan for them. Here are a few ideas and tips to consider, that will help ease your next appliance repair problem.
Before You Do It Yourself
Make sure the appliance isn’t covered by a service agreement or warranty. If it’s still covered under warranty, you will need to find out how to use the warranty properly. First call the company offering the warranty and ask them for clarification on using the warranty properly (DO NOT void the warranty by trying to fix the appliance yourself). After that, your next step is to contact (or take) the appliance to an appropriate maintenance or service company. Have them do the repairs under the protective cover of your warranty. Also, you should make sure you are properly reimbursed for all charges after having your appliance repaired.
Do It Yourself
If there is no warranty or coverage on your appliance, your next step is to track down the owner’s manual, and try and make the repair yourself. You shouldn’t repair an appliance without having the service manual with you. When the manual or warranty isn’t an option, your next choice will be to look under the lid, or inside of the appliance, and find the basic instruction guidelines. Most appliances have a small set of operating instructions, printed on the appliance somewhere, which MIGHT help you solve your problem. For most of us, though, these steps probably won’t be enough.
Finding an Appliance Repair Service Company
If you aren’t able to make the repairs yourself quickly and easily, then you will need to find an appliance repair service to do the job right, and get your appliance working again. There are several ways you can find an appliance repair company in your area. You can…
- Hunt down and dust off that huge yellow pages book, lying somewhere in the dark, outer recesses of your home.
- Ask a friend or family member who they use for their appliance repairs
- Visit an online directory, like Yahoo’s ™ yellow pages
- If you’d like input from an independent source, on reliable local appliance repair companies, call a major real estate firm (in your area) and ask who they use for their appliance repairs.
Appliance Repair Services
A majority of repair companies have technicians available who can repair most household appliances. Major appliance repair companies will typically make service calls to your home. Small appliances often get repaired at the local repair shop, instead of at your home. If it’s a small appliance, you want to make sure they offer repair or replacement services for it. This would include items such as microwave ovens, oven fans, heaters, Kitchen aid ™ mixers, other small miscellaneous kitchen appliances, and maybe even power tools.
Questions to Ask Repair Companies
Once you have the names of a few appliance repair service companies, you may want to ask any or all of these questions when you call…
- Ask when the soonest they can come out to make the repair? If the timing is adequate, ask how punctual they are (and if they have a guarantee on the time)? There’s nothing worse than waiting all day for a repair that won’t happen that day.
- Ask if they offer a guarantee on their work and their parts?
- Ask about a written estimate; service call charge; fees; or a combination of written estimate with final bill?
- Ask if it is possible to add service call fees to your monthly utility bill.
- Gas, electrical, radiation, and refrigeration repairs require special considerations. Qualified Repair technicians must have experiences with gas, electrical, and refrigeration issues. When they repair gas appliances and microwave ovens, appliance repair technicians need to be aware of dangers form gas and radiation leaks. When you need to have your stove fixed or your gas lines checked for leaks, you definitely want to call a home appliance repair person for help. Mostly, just make sure they are qualified to fix the specific appliance you need repaired.
- If you’re interested, you can ask them if they offer a monthly service plan. Having a consistent appliance repair technician and service can keep your home appliances humming right along, and may also help prevent unwanted breakdowns. This would give you peace of mind for all your major home appliances, and keep all your appliances protected under one convenient repair plan. You can also ask questions, which might include concerns about appliance installation, operation and repair.
Hopefully some of these tips will help ease your next appliance repair problem. Once you have exhausted all of these steps, and if the repair still didn’t work, then it might be time to look into buying the new appliance you’ve been dreaming of. But we’ll cover that in another article.

High Security Keys & Locks Increase Your Security
A high security key and lock provides two very important benefits over regular locks. The first is the added physical security that they provide. We utilize a product made by Schlage called “Primus”, which is a patented key type that has additional side “cuts” that make the locks incredibly difficult to manipulate and open. These side cuts work with something called a “side-bar” inside the lock. The bar is an added security feature to the cylinder that prohibits the wrong key from turning the lock. It’s basically like needing two separate keys for one lock! If an intruder attempts to open a Primus lock without a key, they will find it almost impossible.
The second important function is key control. The Primus keys we carry are restricted to The Locksmith Guelph. This means your key cannot be duplicated at a hardware store or even another locksmith. It’s not just a warning stamped on a key. These high security keys are exclusive to Locksmith Guelph, so any attempt to re-create them is impossible. If you do need extra copies, only an authorized user with a specific authorization card is allowed to make copies. If the card isn’t present, we simply will not cut the high security keys. This isn’t to make it inconvenient or more difficult to obtain copy; it’s just an added measure to make sure the right person is getting duplicates. We will also keep key counts and give you detailed reports on which keys were made on what dates (if needed). It’s a terrific system for tracking keys for your business and ensures that you know exactly how many keys are out at any given time!
