Fleet Appliance Repair New York Technician Explains Benefits of owning Energy Star Appliances


Well known and highly respected appliance repair technician provides top-rated appliance service at a fair price while educating consumers about energy savings


The overall appliance repair experience can vary depending on the attitude of the service technician. Often times the technician seems to rush in, do the job, collect their fee and exit quickly. Sadly, at the customer’s dismay, some appliance repair technicians track dirt through a home and leave a mess behind when they are finished. “Not only is this disrespectful, it can be a safety hazard, said Bob Dougherty, owner of Fleet Appliance Repair New York.

Bob Dougherty stands out from other appliance service providers as he enjoys friendly conversation with his customers while he works. “For many service providers, time is money and the quicker they get in, do the job and get out, the more money they make,” said Dougherty. “This is true, to a point, but friendly customer service can also make a positive impact on the success of a business.”

In the event the appliance is not worth repairing, Bob’s customers often ask him for advice about purchasing a new one. Many ask about Energy Star appliances and if they are worth the extra cost.

According to Dougherty, Energy Star appliances can make a big difference in energy consumption; however, no matter how old an appliance is or what model appliance is owned, they can only be as efficient as the user. There are ways to reduce energy use with older appliances, so if they are still in good working condition then there is no need to rush out and purchase newer energy saving models.

Bob shares the following information about the Energy Star Rating for appliances:

Every appliance has two prices: the sticker price and the cost of running the appliance year-round. Smaller expenses today could translate into huge savings tomorrow, so consumers need to know their options before purchasing new home appliances.

In 2007 Americans bought enough Energy Star appliances to limit emissions equivalent to green house gases from 27 million cars, all the while saving $16 billion on utility bills, or roughly one-third of their annual utility bills.

Check the Energy Guide labels on appliances to see consumption rates for that model, expressed in annual kilowatt hours and the approximate annual cost of running the appliance,
