HI i JUST WONDERING WHAT THE AVERAGE COST IS TO REPLACE A COMPRESSOR ON A FRIDGE FREEZER SAY,I USE TO REPAIR SYSTEM FAULTS YEARS AGO WITH MY X EMPLOYER BUT THEN STOPPED ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE LAW CHANGED BUT CARRIED ON REPAIRING THE ELECTRICAL SIDE OF THEM AND REFERING SYSTEM FAULTS BUT NOW IM MY OWN BOSS IM THINKING OF GOING ON A FEW COURSES TO GET BACK INTO IT SO IM TRYING TO WAY UP THE PROS AND CONS ANY INPUT WOULD BE APPRECIATED 🙄
THANKS MARKRe: COMPRESSOR CHANGE
Since EAC took most of the refrigeration repairs for the likes of Smeg and Brandt work there’s been very little system work we’ve been doing. In fact only a few R600 jobs in the past year, not that we miss it. 😉
Time consuming and not really worth the effort IMO for what’s on offer and any chargeable work seems to reject it at the cost.
Just my experience of late.

Re: COMPRESSOR CHANGE
I don’t charge less than £125 to fit one these days, the trouble is, as Ken says, most chargeable customers won’t bother with that and we hardly if ever get the call to fit them I/G anymore.
Low cost appliances, and people wonder why there’s a fridge mountain 🙄

Re: COMPRESSOR CHANGE
We do some and charge £58.75 for regas and £94.00 (both inc Vat) for a pot change plus sundries (lokrings) and filter at £25.00. Private work is always an expensive model, never a cheapie, makes it worthwhile.
KevinRe: COMPRESSOR CHANGE
£180 min, usually only do on build ins these days. Lockrings alone come to £30 odd.
