The electricity in the home was broken, and the first reaction of the vast majority of the population was definitely to find someone to repair the house。
It's always been felt that the machine is just a little bit of a failure, that it's going to be useful to fix it, that it's too expensive to replace it。
I've got a lot of relatives around me who step on this pit year after year. It took hundreds of repairs to fix the electricity, which did not last for two to three months, and the old problems were repeated。
The money that goes back and forth is worth half of the new machine。
According to a national sample of consumption behaviour data for 2025-2026, 58 per cent of households now have a direct choice to replace them in the event of a major domestic power failure。
The proportion of small household electricity, such as electric cooking, wall breakers, which is abandoned and replaced directly is as high as 87 per cent。
Ten years ago, the reverse was the case, when 70 per cent of households gave priority to the repair of their electricity。
It is not the current people who do not understand the cost of economy, the cost of maintenance, the quality of spare parts and safety standards that have changed completely。
This, together with the country's well-defined national standards for safe use of domestic electricity, has resulted in some damaged and hard-working electricity, which is purely unwelcome and conceals security risks。
Many ordinary people simply do not know the boundaries to which faults can be repaired and which must be replaced。
It is only up to the machine to function, but it ignores maintenance costs, the remaining useful life, additional power consumption and the risk of a leak。
It's in plain language today that seven types of household electricity problems don't have to be fixed。
One, remember the iron law of the industry, and avoid 90% of the maintenance money
A lot of people mistakenly think that when household electricity is broken, it must be worth repairing. It's not about the size of the failure, it's about value for money。
Small parts, such as seals, switches, electric capacitors, were repaired at a cost of $1,200。
However, once large items of the household electricity core have been injured, care must be taken not to spend blindly on repairs。
Air conditioners, refrigerator compressors, main bearings of washing machines, television screens are the "heart" of a household electricity。
In 2026, a public offer was made to replace the refrigerator compressor with $500-1200, the air conditioner compressor with $600-1500 and the roller-washer with $400-800。
The cost of repairing one core component alone is already at half the cost of the new medium-end machine。
Here's a 50 per cent principle that is common in the household electricity industry, which is also the code of iron that teacher defaults on。
If the maintenance offer exceeds 50 per cent of the current market price for the same class, it is most cost-effective to replace it directly。
The point is that the price of the new machine is not the price you bought a few years ago。
Many old household electricity has long been out of production, no spare parts can be purchased at all and repairs can be done only with poor quality by-products。
Such spare parts, which are only for three to six months, appear to be cheap and highly unstable and are likely to be damaged again in the short term。
There is also a worse situation, with frequent failure of household electricity in a short period of time。
This time, the main plate was fixed, the next time the power was broken, the leak was repaired and there was a circuit failure。
This means that the whole machine is ageing as a whole and that all internal parts are approaching the end of their life, except in batches。
Such electricity should never continue to be used to repair money, but rather to repair it。
In combination with the current national standards for safe life of gb/t 21097-2025, all household electricity has a clear life cycle。
Refrigerators, air conditioners have a safe life of 10 years and washing machines, smoke machines, gas stoves have a uniform life of 8 years。
Even if the machine works barely, the internal circuits, pipelines and seals are seriously ageing after the delay。
In case of damage to the core parts, the household electricity, which is near or beyond the age of five, is given up for major repairs。
Two or seven large items of electric power are damaged
1. Use of refrigerators for more than eight years, compressors, fluorine leakage without maintenance
Refrigerators are home electricity that works 24 hours a day, with overall losses being the highest in all household electricity。
Refrigerators have a safe life of 10 years and more than 8 years, according to national standards。
If it was just a small problem, such as poor door seals and temperature failure, it would cost $180 to fix it and it would be fully functional。
However, where compressors are burned and fluorine leaks in the refrigeration system, repairs are abandoned。
According to the latest white paper of the china national electronics institute, the cost of servicing the refrigeration system is 1. 3 times the residual value of the entire machine, using an old refrigerator that has been in use for 10 years。
In short, the money spent on the refrigerator is more valuable than the old fridge itself。
In addition to this, the old refrigerator is a well-established “power-consuming household”。
The old level 3 energy-efficient refrigerators, compared to the current mainstream level of new energy-efficient machines, cost $1,200 a year。
Even if the compressors were to be fixed at a cost, the old pipes and conservatory layers could not be repaired, and the follow-up was still costly and faulty。
Long-term calculations and high maintenance costs and electricity costs are far from being cost-effective。
Old air conditioning, 2, 8-10 years old, outside core damaged
The most expensive part of air conditioning maintenance is the outdoors。
Once the external compressor and the main plate have been damaged, maintenance costs will be at least 600 or 700, with additional overhead charges。
More than a thousand entry-level new air conditioners are available on the market, and maintenance costs directly account for half of the price of the new machine, with no maintenance value at all。
And here's a simple way to distinguish it: failure relief, badness change。
Small problems such as damage to air conditioning capacity and failure of remote controls can be solved by $1,200, which can be repaired and repaired。
However, if large parts of the outer core are damaged and the air conditioner has been in use for more than eight years, it should not be repaired。
The rubber seals of old air conditioners are old enough to cause fluorine leakage in less than a few days, even if the compressor is fixed。
Yearly repairs and year-to-year fluorine increases not only cost money, but also reduce the effectiveness of refrigeration。
More attention can be paid to the old-time-for-new activities of electric power stations and under-line shops, techniques that many do not know about saving money。
Old air conditioners can be used to directly offset recovery costs by supersing the platform's official subsidy and converting the replacement costs to a little more expensive than maintenance costs。
A small amount of money is spent to replace a completely new air conditioner with complete quality assurance and energy efficiency, much more than maintenance。
Roller washing machine, 3 or 6 years or more, with acoustic acoustics and direct replacement
The most typical disease in a roller machine is the wear and tear of the inner axle。
The failure was particularly evident, with the machine pounding and the body shaking。
This failure was part of a major dismantling project, which required the dismantling of most of the bodies, with a uniform market maintenance fee of $400-800。
If it was a high-end washing machine for two to three years, it would be fine to pay for it。
However, the machine has been in operation for more than six years, nearly eight years, and has been abandoned for repairs。
The wear and tear of the bearings is by no means a single fault, and prolonged friction can lead to an ageing of the water and seepage of the water, with total rusting of the metal parts inside the body。
Even with the replacement of new bearings, the rusty parts cannot be repaired and subsequent drainage and electrical failure will continue。
Instead of repeated maintenance, it would be better to move to a new machine and to be safe。
Lcd tv screens are damaged and unmaintainable
The failure of the television, such as the failure of the circuit board, the lack of sound and the inability to turn it on, could be repaired at around $200。
Only broken screens, screens, black screens should not be repaired, which is recognized as a loss in the domestic electricity industry。
Television screens account for more than 70 per cent of the manufacturing cost of the whole machine, replacing the price quoted on the screen, which is almost close to the price of the brand-new television。
Also, there are currently virtually no new original plant screens on the market, and maintenance is done with second-hand shredders。
Not only was the painting significantly compromised, the quality assurance period was extremely short, and the rate was probably soon to be damaged again。
It's better to change the screen at a very expensive price than to change the new tv and upgrade all the paint, eye-protecting and intelligence functions。
Five or more years of electric water heaters, with a direct end to internal leakage
Water-storage electro-thermal water heaters, with a uniform period of eight years for national standard safety sentences, are mandatory standards for personal safety。
Water heaters and circuit boards were broken and hundreds of items could be repaired and replaced。
However, as long as there is an internal leak, there is no maintenance value and it is replaced directly。
When the inner urchin is the overall pressurized tank, the leak means that the steel plate is corrupted and thin, and cannot be repaired or replaced。
The continuous cowarding of the urchins in the over-term water heater not only reduces the heating efficiency, but also increases the risk of electrical leakage and bursting。
Bathing is an electric scene close to water and must not risk family safety in order to save money。
Six, smoker, gas stove over the years
Gas stoves are high-risk household electricity, with a country-specific 8-year mandatory sentence that must be replaced and recommended for phase-out。
A few dozen pieces can be fixed with a poor day-to-day ignition and a failure like caden's switch。
But if the stove is deformed, the gas pipeline is old and broken, it is replaced directly。
There is nothing small about gas leaks, and if anything happens, it is a major security accident, and there can be no savings。
The smoker also applies for a period of eight years, after which the engine is burned and wind decay is normal。
An old smoke machine, even if it is fixed, has a significant build-up of internal oil pollution and a significant decrease in the inhaling capacity, which has no effect on smoke discharge。
Cooking is not free, not only to choke, but also to breed bacteria and affect family health。
Seven. The main power plate is damaged
Small household electricity, such as electric cooking, wall breakers and microwaves, is sold at a low price, leaving the mainstream machine at $2,300, $3,400。
Seals, filters, and pan cap fittings for this type of household electricity can be replaced separately at low cost。
But once the main plate, the power, is burned, there is no hesitation to change it。
The cost of repairing small household appliances and spare parts is extremely high, and it would be 200 or 300 for any repairs。
Much of the new machine is used to fix old and small household electricity, and the price is extremely low。
Moreover, most of the small household electricity is a single-pressed cast body, which is completely damaged by sealing and repair, and is prone to water, ash and failure。
This is also the central reason why users choose to change after 87 per cent of small household electricity failures。
Iii. Common judgement formula for ordinary people. No more injustice. Money
It's not like it's so bad that people change their electricity and waste it blindly。
I've put together a method of judgement that ordinary people can see and use directly, precisely distinguishing between what should or should be changed。
First, look at the proportion of maintenance costs。
The cost of maintenance was lower than 30 per cent of the current cost of the new aircraft, except for minor failure, priority maintenance and the highest value for money。
Maintenance costs range between 30 and 50 per cent, depending on the useful life, new machines can be repaired within five years and prudent maintenance for more than six years。
The cost of maintenance exceeds 50 per cent of the new machine, regardless of how new it is and how well it looks, and it does not hesitate to change it。
Second, look at the years of use of the national standard。
(c) unfinished, faulty, uneased, near-expired, small pieces only。
Over the life of his sentence, he was determined not to undertake major repairs and to put an end to security concerns。
Third, look at the frequency of the failure。
It is recommended to replace the same house after more than twice in a year, even if the single maintenance is cheap。
The whole machine of the delegates is aging, follow-up failures will continue, and sustained maintenance will only continue to cost money。
It is also important to avoid market pits。
The fujian provincial commission has issued several alerts: small ads on the roads, an online varnished maintenance platform, widespread minor diseases, false reports of failures, and widespread price increases。
Everyone has to find someone to repair the house, and before work starts, they must ask for the door fee, the test fee and the spare parts fee。
Pre-confirmation: no fee is charged, duration of spare parts are secured, all prices are confirmed orally to avoid ad hoc increases。
I'll give you all the advice
It is a good habit to live in a home and save money, but it must be saved。
Many elders have been forced to change, and they have felt that machines need not change, simply waste money。
But you have to make two counts, one for money and one for security。
The cost of repeated maintenance of old household electricity and the excess cost of electricity have been fully sufficient for a new machine for several years。
More importantly, the risk of overage electricity outages, fires and bursting is much higher than you can imagine。
In the future, you will encounter the problem of major household electrical repairs and follow this step directly。
As a first step, formal testing is conducted after the official sale, with precise maintenance quotations to confirm the duration of the spare parts。
The second step involves searching for real-time prices for new machines in the same class, with emphasis on accounting for amounts that are offset by old replacement subsidies and old machines。
In many cases, the replacement cost only $1,200 more than maintenance to have a complete new machine and complete quality assurance。
In the third step, the combined decision is made to repair or replace household electricity in relation to the proportion of maintenance costs and the number of years of household electricity use。
Rational treatment of household electricity maintenance does not waste good household electricity available, nor does it spend a fraction of the money on obsolete machines。
