- ocdtrekkie 11y agoThis is doubtful. Nobody buys a new furnace when it has a problem. Ovens, fridges, and dishwashers are all generally far cheaper to repair with a local repairman than replace. A lot of house or condo sales now come with "home warranties", where a flat fee guarantees your appliances for a year, and repairs only cost a $100 deductible. Computers in most cases, even, are now appliance-like. They get replaced less often, and it's often more affordable to repair them than replace them.
