Lancaster, PA – Appliance repair service is easy to arrange right from your computer. LH Brubaker has created a one-stop website where consumers can learn about the company and arrange appliance repair services.
The convenient and informative website eliminates having to call the manufacturer, the warranty company and the local appliance repair service; not to mention the additional time wasted when put on hold, transferred to various departments and accidently disconnected! This is especially frustrating when using a cell phone that only holds a charge for a limited time.
Consumer Report Data shows that at least 20% of appliances purchased in the last three to five years will require repair or service. The website offers convenience to consumers who need immediate action with their appliance repair service.
Current economic conditions encourage consumers to repair their appliances rather than buying new ones and paying for delivery and installation. LH Brubaker appliance repair service in the Lancaster area meets the highest performance standards in the business. Trained appliance repair technicians are authorized by several leading manufacturers including Frigidaire, Whirlpool, GE, Maytag and many more.

LH Brubaker Appliance Repair, LLC of Lancaster Feels the Heat Over Shorter Warrantees

Lancaster LH Brubaker repair service company has a few tips to beat the manufacturers’ shrinking warrantees.Appliance manufactures love to advertise new features, but they won't be hyping the new trend that began in 2005: shorter appliance warranties on refrigerators, ranges, washing machines, and other major appliances.
LH Brubaker repair service has been a permanent fixture in Lancaster since 1932 serving the tri-state area in sales and service. Owner Donald Frank, Sr. offered advice to his customers that may take some of the anxiety away from the appliance manufactures’ latest blow. “Purchase your appliances with a credit card that offers product insurance,” suggested Don.
In late 2005, appliance manufacturer including Frigidaire, General Electric, Maytag, and Whirlpool shortened their warranties on refrigerators, ranges, washers, and other major appliances from two or three years to only one year, and it appears they have no intention of reestablishing the longer coverage. And, as far as their appliance extended warranties are concerned, they will also be adjusted.
One-year appliance warranties become the norm.
Shorter warranties went into effect Nov. 1, 2005, for Whirlpool, Roper, Estate, and Inglis brands, and on Jan. 1, 2006, for General Electric, Hotpoint, Americana, Maytag, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Frigidaire, White Westinghouse, Tappan, Gibson, and Kelvinator.
Pricier brands, such as KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and Electrolux, still offer longer warranties on some appliances and their parts. Viking offers a one-year warranty but doubles it if a Viking-certified installer does the work according to Consumer Reports.
In fact, all of the major manufacturers are looking at the data from their pricier competitors. If the numbers are going in the right direction, shorter warrantees may stimulate business for their GE Appliance repairs, their Whirlpool repair men and women; and, it may even bring the Maytag repair man out of retirement.
A typical warranty from an appliance manufacturer now covers parts and service for only one year from purchase. If a part breaks after that, you pay. Before the warranties got whacked down, pricey parts-refrigerator compressors and dishwasher tubs, for instance-were usually covered for 5 to 10 years. To get longer coverage today, you'll have to buy a separate extended appliance warranty, which will cost about $100 to $200 for three years.
Some appliance companies insisted that the changes did nothing more than make warranties simpler. One company spokesperson told us that consumers would benefit from this warranty change by having simplified terms and improved product quality and after-sales care. You're probably as confused as we are, but one thing is clear: consumers for the same price are getting less coverage.
