Treasure Coast Appliance Repair charges a diagnostic fee that covers the technician's trip and full inspection. If you proceed with the repair, the diagnostic fee is credited toward your total cost — making the diagnosis effectively free. Call (772) 353-5791 for current pricing.
Is appliance repair worth it or should I buy new?+
Use the 50% rule: if the repair costs more than 50% of a comparable new appliance, consider replacement. Also factor in age — appliances under 5 years should almost always be repaired. Our technicians give honest repair vs. replace recommendations every day.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?+
Yes. Treasure Coast Appliance Repair is fully licensed and insured in the state of Florida. Our technicians have 17+ years of experience servicing all major appliance brands. We carry liability insurance to protect your home during every service visit.
Do you offer a warranty on repairs?+
Yes. Every repair by Treasure Coast Appliance Repair is backed by a warranty on both parts and labor. If the same issue recurs within the warranty period, we return and fix it at no additional cost. Ask your technician about specific warranty terms for your repair.
What should I do if my appliance stops working after a power outage?+
Wait 5 minutes after power returns, then unplug the appliance for 5 minutes to reset the electronics. Plug it back in and see if it operates normally. If it doesn't restart, the power surge may have damaged the control board or other electronic components. Call Treasure Coast Appliance Repair at (772) 353-5791.
Should I use a surge protector for my appliances in Florida?+
Absolutely. Florida has more lightning strikes than any other state, and power surges destroy appliance electronics regularly. A quality appliance surge protector costs $30–$50 and can prevent $200–$400+ in control board damage. Treasure Coast Appliance Repair strongly recommends surge protection for all major appliances.
How do I find my appliance model number?+
Model numbers are on a label or plate: Refrigerator — inside wall or behind vegetable drawer. Washer — under the lid or on the back. Dryer — inside the door frame. Dishwasher — inside the door edge. Oven — behind the broiler drawer or on the door frame. Having this ready when you call saves time.
Can I get a repair estimate over the phone?+
We can give you a general cost range over the phone based on your symptoms and appliance type. For an exact quote, our technician needs to diagnose the specific failed component during an in-home visit. The diagnostic fee is credited toward your repair cost if you proceed.

How do I prepare my appliances for hurricane season in Florida?+
Hurricane prep: 1) Set refrigerator/freezer to coldest setting before the storm. 2) Fill freezer with water bottles (thermal mass). 3) Unplug all appliances if evacuating. 4) Use surge protectors on everything. 5) Know how to turn off gas at the meter. 6) After the storm, wait 5 minutes after power returns before plugging in appliances. Don't open the refrigerator during outages.
What should I do if my appliances were in a flood?+
Flooded appliances are extremely dangerous. Do not plug in or operate any appliance that was submerged or significantly wet — electrocution risk. Gas appliances must be inspected before use (gas leaks). Motors, control boards, and wiring need professional evaluation. Treasure Coast Appliance Repair assesses flood-damaged appliances and advises whether they can be safely restored.
Does salt air damage appliances near the coast?+
Yes. Salt air in coastal areas like Jensen Beach, Stuart, and Fort Pierce causes accelerated corrosion on metal components: refrigerator condenser coils, washer drums, dryer drums, oven racks, and dishwasher rack tines. Clean exterior surfaces regularly, keep appliances in enclosed spaces, and schedule maintenance more frequently if you live within 5 miles of the coast.
Does Port St. Lucie hard water damage my appliances?+
Port St. Lucie has notably hard water that causes mineral buildup in dishwashers (clogged spray arms, white film on dishes), washing machines (detergent residue), and refrigerator water/ice systems (clogged filters). Use rinse aid in dishwashers, high-efficiency detergent in washers, and replace fridge water filters every 6 months. Consider a whole-house water softener.
Does FPL offer rebates for energy-efficient appliances?+
FPL (Florida Power & Light) periodically offers rebates and incentives for energy-efficient appliances and home improvements. Check FPL's website for current programs. When replacing an appliance, look for ENERGY STAR certification — these models use 10–50% less energy. An energy-efficient refrigerator can save $50–$100/year on electricity.
