Common questions
Is an LG linear compressor worth repairing in Broadacres?
On refrigerators still within their ten-year sealed system warranty, yes. Outside it, we quote the compressor and drier replacement against the value of the unit so you can decide on the numbers rather than a guess.
What size ice machine do I need?
Size on peak daily draw, not average: roughly 0.5 to 1 kg of ice per restaurant cover per day, more for cocktail bars and function venues. We calculate demand on site, then specify machine output plus bin storage and the water treatment your supply needs.
Do you charge a callout fee?
A standard callout and diagnostic fee applies and is quoted upfront. It is credited against the repair when you accept the quote.
