About this site

Repaplex answers one question per page: should this appliance be repaired, or replaced? The South African edition carries the page of repair ranges in rand that a Gauteng and Western Cape repair company publishes; the remaining guides, the calculator and the price data on this site are United States and Canadian market data, linked and labelled as such.

How a page is made

• Numbers come from published price guides and, where one exists, from a repair company that publishes the median of its own completed jobs together with the sample size.
• Where a source publishes ranges but no sample size — as the South African repair company cited on the rand page does not — the page reproduces the ranges as published and says so, instead of turning a range into a median.
• Where a source publishes no duration or no part-only price, the page says so instead of dressing an estimate up as data.

What this site is not

• It is not affiliated with any appliance brand and it is not a repair company. We do not repair appliances and we do not sell anything.
• It is not a quote. Prices are the figures the source cited on the page publishes: rand on the South African page, United States and Canadian market figures on the guides linked through to those editions. Your quote in South Africa will differ.
• It does not replace a certified technician for gas appliances, sealed refrigeration systems, or anything involving the electrical installation of a home.

Corrections

If a figure is wrong or stale, write to janos@maczko.eu with the page address and the source that contradicts it. Corrections are applied to the record, and the page is regenerated from it.
