How much does it cost to have someone come out?
Sears Home Services charges a diagnostic fee for in-home appliance repair, which varies based on your service area and the type of appliance needing repair. This diagnostic fee typically ranges from $90 to $150 for most appliances and is only charged on the day of service. You can view the exact fee for your location and appliance type by visiting our online Service Scheduler.
On the day of the visit, the technician will assess the issue and provide a complete estimate that includes parts, labor, and applicable taxes. If you proceed with the recommended repair, the diagnostic fee will be waived. If you decide not to proceed with the repair, you'll only be responsible for paying the diagnostic fee, which covers the technician’s assessment and visit.
This transparent approach ensures that you’re fully informed of all costs before any work is done, so you can make the decision that’s right for you.
