Older homes, tougher appliances
Many Germiston houses date back decades, and so do some of the appliances in them. A 15-year-old Defy stove or a heavy old top-loader is often simpler and tougher than a new one, and the parts are cheap and easy to get. Our job is to tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense. Usually it does: a plate switch, element, thermostat, belt or pump gives it years more life.
Stoves tripping the power: a Germiston classic
Older homes often mean older wiring and stoves that have done thousands of meals, and that combination is behind a lot of our Germiston call-outs. When a stove trips the earth leakage, it's usually a damp or failing hotplate or oven element, a burnt terminal, or a switch with moisture in it. Switch it off at the isolator and don't keep resetting it. We test each element and switch to find the culprit. More in stove tripping the earth leakage.

Repair or replace?
Germiston customers ask us this a lot, because many appliances here have already had a long life. Our rule of thumb: if the repair costs less than about half the price of a comparable new appliance, fix it. Read repair or replace? for typical lifespans.

Recent job
Split aircon not cooling, serviced
The aircon was running but not cooling the room. On units like this, mounted high on a sunny wall, the outdoor coil collects a season's worth of dust and the indoor filters and coil clog up, so the system simply can't move heat out of the house. We gave it a full service: filters washed, indoor coil and fan cleaned, drain line flushed, outdoor unit washed down, and the gas pressures and electrical parts checked. With the airflow restored, it was cooling properly again. A yearly service before summer stops this happening in the first heatwave.
