Why Weekend Appliance Repair Matters

Appliances don’t care what day it is. A fridge that quits on Friday night turns into a freezer-thaw food-safety problem by Sunday evening. A washer that floods on Saturday morning means a soaking-wet basement before Monday’s contractor opens. A dryer that quits before a long weekend leaves a family of four standing in front of a wet pile of laundry. We built our weekend rotation specifically because the standard “we’ll be out Tuesday” answer is the most expensive lie in appliance repair — by Tuesday you’ve thrown out $400 of fridge contents, paid for a hotel laundromat, or rented backup appliances.

Our weekend dispatch covers Saturday 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM and Sunday 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM. Same flat $89 service-call rate. Same factory-authorized OEM parts on the truck. Same online booking and same 613-301-0016 phone line.

Weekend Repair Pricing — No Surprises

Saturday and Sunday calls are billed at the same $89 service-call rate as a weekday. The repair itself is billed at the same flat-rate book pricing — there is no weekend surcharge. The $89 is fully + tax (residential) if you authorize the repair on-site, so you only pay the repair price. Typical ranges:

• Door gasket / drain hose / inlet valve fixes: $160–$280
• Belt / motor coupler / drain pump: $220–$360
• Heating element / igniter / dryer thermal fuse: $200–$340
• Evaporator fan / defrost heater: $260–$420
• Main control board / inverter PCB: $380–$640
• Sealed-system / compressor work: $700–$1,200
