Appliances Covered:
The Basics
What a Repair Visit Actually Involves
Most household breakdowns are more minor than they look. A technician's first job is diagnosis — working out whether you're dealing with a blocked filter, a worn belt, or something that genuinely needs a new part, before any work or cost is agreed.
1. On-Site Diagnosis
A technician inspects the unit, tests it, and identifies the fault before quoting — so you know what's actually wrong before agreeing to anything.
2. A Written Quote
You get a clear price for parts and labour before work starts. This is the single biggest protection you have as a customer.
3. Repair & Warranty
The fault is fixed using genuine or OEM-equivalent parts, and the work is backed by a 30–90 day warranty on parts and labour.
“Most 'breakdowns' seen in Nairobi homes are minor — a blocked filter, a worn belt, a tripped thermostat — and cost a fraction of a replacement to fix when caught early.”

Why It Matters
Why Book a Professional Rather Than DIY
Four reasons a certified technician usually beats a DIY fix or an early replacement.
Same-Day Turnaround
Most faults are diagnosed and fixed in one visit, minimising the time you're without a working appliance.
Genuine Parts & Warranty
Parts are manufacturer-grade or OEM-equivalent, with 30–90 days of warranty backing the work.
All Major Brands
Samsung, LG, Bosch, Hotpoint, Whirlpool, Ramtons, Hisense and more, across every common household appliance.
Cheaper Than Replacing
A repair typically costs 20–50% of a replacement's price, extending the appliance's life and cutting waste.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything worth knowing before you book.
How much does it cost?
Most jobs fall between KSh 1,500 and KSh 8,000 depending on the appliance and fault. A blocked filter or worn belt is usually KSh 1,500–3,000, while a compressor or motor replacement runs KSh 4,000–8,000. A diagnostic fee of KSh 500–1,000 usually applies and is often waived once you proceed.
Do technicians come to my home?
Yes. Home visits are standard for washing machines, fridges and cookers. Small items like microwaves can sometimes be dropped at a workshop instead. A call-out fee may apply depending on your location.
How long does a repair take?
Common faults are usually fixed in one to four hours. Repairs needing an ordered part can take one to three days. Same-day visits are widely available if you book early in the day.
Is the work covered by a warranty?
A reputable technician will offer 30 to 90 days of warranty on parts and labour. Ask for this in writing before work begins.
Should I repair or replace it?
Repair if the cost is under half the price of a new unit and the appliance is less than half way through its expected lifespan. Replacement usually makes more sense past ten years old, or if it needs frequent call-outs.
What appliances are covered?
Washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers, ovens, microwaves, dishwashers, dryers, televisions, water dispensers and most other household electricals.
What payment methods work?
M-Pesa, cash, bank transfer and card are all commonly accepted. A deposit may be requested for an expensive part before it's ordered.
Which areas are covered?
Coverage typically spans the CBD, Westlands, Kilimani, Lavington, Karen, Runda, Gigiri, Kileleshwa, Parklands, Upper Hill, South B, South C, Eastleigh, Kasarani, Embakasi, Rongai and Ngong Road.
