Repair vs. Replace: What Age Means for Your Appliance
One of the most common questions we get from Westview homeowners: "Should I fix it or just buy a new one?" The honest answer depends on age, repair cost, and brand.
๐ก The 50% Rule: If the repair cost exceeds 50% of what a replacement would cost, and the appliance is beyond halfway through its typical lifespan, replacement usually wins. Below that threshold, repair almost always wins โ especially for premium brands.
We'll always give you our honest recommendation โ even when repair means we make less money. Our reputation in Westview is worth more than one oversold job.

Why Westview Homes Have Unique Appliance Needs
Three environmental factors specific to Atlanta accelerate appliance wear faster than the national average โ and we factor all three into every diagnosis in Westview.
Hard Water: 10โ13 GPG
Westview draws from Atlanta's water system at 10โ13 GPG โ the consistent hard water profile we find throughout Southwest Atlanta's historic neighborhoods. Monthly descaling cycles significantly extend dishwasher and washer lifespan in this water profile.
Storm Season Voltage Spikes
Atlanta averages 55+ thunderstorm days per year โ third highest in the US. Each surge event risks control board and electronic module damage. We see a surge in post-storm repair calls every summer.
Summer Heat (92โ97ยฐF avg highs)
Atlanta's summer heat forces refrigerators and freezers to work 20โ30% harder from June through September. Dirty condenser coils during this period cause compressor failures at 3โ4x the normal rate.
Spring Pollen Season
Atlanta's notoriously heavy pollen (often #1 in the US) coats exposed condenser coils on refrigerators in garages and utility areas. A pre-summer coil cleaning prevents overheating failures from April through June.
