Is it worth it to fix my appliance?

If the repairs cost less than half of purchasing a new appliance, repair is most likely the smarter option.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to repair an appliance depends on many factors including appliance age, features, wear-and-tear, and more.

More on the decision

The most common problems with appliances are that they break down, don’t work properly, or are just plain old. Other common problems include lack of proper maintenance, and incorrect installation. All of these problems can lead to repairs or even replacement.

SEO and AI searchEvery address you have today is keptYour 8 service pages and 7 brand pages keep their exact web addresses, so nothing Google has already indexed is lost. An old address like /service-terms-and-conditions/ forwards to its new page, and so do the town pages of your main site (the /locations/ addresses), each to the service area page that covers that town. Every page has its own title and description, one main heading, and structured data that tells Google and AI assistants your name, phone, hours, five locations, every town you serve, each service and the questions you answer. A sitemap, a robots file and an llms.txt summary written for AI assistants are included, and the site is plain pages with no plugins.
Your 1-year warrantyMBG provides a labor warranty on work performed.Your terms page still has a blank where the warranty period goes ("MBG provides a [insert period] labor warranty on work performed"), and your terms say "Parts warranties are provided by manufacturers". Your 22 Oct message says 1 year on residential repairs. Is the 1 year on labor, parts, or both?

Housecall ProHow a booking reaches youBookings run on your own Housecall Pro online booking page, shown inside this site, so each one lands in Housecall Pro the way it does today. Your plan has no API and none is needed: there is nothing to connect. A brand that is not on your Housecall Pro list goes to the phone.
Contact formWhere its messages goOn the live site, the messages from the Send a message form on the Contact page (including plan questions and condo certificate of insurance requests) are emailed to your office. It needs only the address you want them sent to. In this demo the form sends nothing.
Maintenance plansThree draft plans: Standard, Premium and MarineYour sites publish no plan details, so the Maintenance plans page lays out three draft plans from your structure, with a Sub-Zero and a Wolf checklist of what a visit covers. The prices, the contents, the checklists and the plan benefits are drafts: send what your plans include and what they cost, or tell us to keep prices off.
CredentialsThree things to send usPlease send a certificate of insurance with the policy numbers blacked out, if you are happy for us to show it (your carrier and coverage limits too, if you want them on the page). Send a photo of the technician's EPA 608 card (cover the number if you like), the type it is (I, II, III or Universal) and which technicians hold it. With those we can put the real documents on the Credentials page.
Model number locatorYour page, brought acrossYour words and all 33 of your pictures from mbgapplianceservices.com/model-number-locator. The tag location is also written under each picture, so customers and search engines can read it. Each Book online button opens your booking, and the appliance and brand a customer picked tell them which line to tap in Housecall Pro.
