When Black Friday comes around, it’s easy to set your sights on whichever new appliances or electronics have the best discounts. However, if you’re truly interested in getting the best for your buck, why not avoid the temptation of buying new appliances and instead repair the ones you already own for a mere fraction of the price?

In this blog, we’re going to give you a rundown of the benefits of repairing over replacing, and how you can save money on Black Friday by repairing appliances at home. Let’s take a look!

Repairing VS Replacing…

Of course, buying a new appliance can have its benefits. However, the real issue is making sure we don’t feed into our throwaway culture excessively, and to ensure we don’t needlessly throw our working appliances into landfills just for the sake of having whatever shiny new thing is for sale in the Black Friday offers. If you have an appliance that’s seen many years of hard work and is simply no longer capable of performing at its best, then sure. Replacing it may be the way to go. But if you own an appliance that’s suffering from a fault that can easily be fixed, or if it just needs a little TLC, it’s far wiser to repair your appliances instead of replacing them.

For example, if you notice that your fridge freezer isn’t staying quite as cool as it should, you may be tempted to trade it in for a fancy new model this Black Friday… but you could be wasting much of your hard earned cash by doing so. For example, one common cause of fridge freezer temperature issues is a faulty or damaged door seal. However, door seals can easily be replaced, and sometimes for less than £10. When you weigh that up with the cost of buying an entire new fridge freezer, the difference is night and day, no matter how low the Black Friday discounts might be. And the same applies to many different issues with many different appliances; a fix is usually far less costly than a replacement, from your tumble dryer to your lawnmower and everything in-between.

Ultimately, with the rising cost of living and with e-waste being at an all-time high, you’ll be helping both your bank balance and the environment by getting stuck in with a little Black Friday appliance repair. That’s where we come in!
