Preventative Maintenance

Professional Appliance Preventative Maintenance Services in Melbourne

Protect your investment and prevent unexpected breakdowns with expert appliance servicing for Melbourne homes.

Is your fridge running constantly? Does your washing machine sound louder than usual? Most homeowners wait for an appliance to break before calling a technician. However, at Appliance Repairs Online, we know that the secret to longevity and energy efficiency is Preventative Maintenance.

Our Melbourne-based licensed technicians provide comprehensive inspections and tuning for all major household brands, ensuring your kitchen and laundry appliances operate at peak performance year-round.

Why Invest in Preventative Maintenance?

Modern appliances are complex machines. Without regular care, small issues like dust buildup, worn seals, or clogged filters can lead to catastrophic motor failure or water damage.

The Benefits of Regular Maintenance Include:

  • Lower Energy Bills: Efficient appliances use significantly less electricity and water.
  • Extended Lifespan: Add years of life to your expensive fridges, ovens, and washers.
  • Safety First: Prevent electrical fires, gas leaks, and flooding risks.
  • Warranty Compliance: Many manufacturers require regular servicing to keep your warranty valid.
  • Peace of Mind: Avoid the stress of a sudden dishwasher flood or a fridge failure in the middle of summer.

FAQs

Appliance preventative maintenance is a scheduled service where a technician inspects, cleans, and tunes your appliances to prevent breakdowns, improve efficiency, and extend their operational lifespan.

We recommend a professional maintenance check once every 12 months for high-use appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, and dishwashers to ensure peak performance.

Yes. Appliances with clogged filters or dirty coils work harder and draw more power. Regular maintenance ensures they run at their manufacturer-rated energy efficiency.

Absolutely. Dryer lint buildup and faulty oven wiring are leading causes of house fires. Our technicians specifically check these high-risk areas during a service.

We service all major brands including Bosch, Miele, Samsung, LG, Fisher & Paykel, Westinghouse, Smeg, and more across the Melbourne region.

Yes, we work with many Melbourne landlords and real estate agents to provide routine maintenance, ensuring appliances stay in good condition for tenants.

A standard preventative maintenance visit for a single appliance typically takes between 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the unit’s condition.

If the appliance is still functional and a core part of your kitchen or laundry, a service can identify if it’s worth keeping or if a replacement is more cost-effective.

While maintenance is a proactive service, any parts we replace during the visit come with our standard 12-month warranty for your peace of mind.
