1. Appliance Call-Outs and Repairs
1.1 ELSERVE charges a fixed fee covering you for the cost of evaluation of the appliance problem, and labour. This fee includes however many times the technician needs to visit to repair the appliance. The repair focus will be based on your given description of the fault.
1.2 Any appliance spare parts will be charged to you separately (unless we state otherwise).
1.3 ELSERVE can repair most home appliances. However, our ability to repair the appliances depends on the brand, appliance type, age and model as this affects whether or not we can repair the issue promptly and/or source spare parts. Note that once an appliance is no longer manufactured, replacement spares are only sold for a limited period.
1.4 ELSERVE requires payment before or on the day of your technician’s visit. We accept debit or credit card payments.
1.5 If we need to order spare parts for your repair our operators will ask for a payment (of parts cost) before placing an order. Should you have paid for a spare part but it is not needed, you will be refunded.
1.6 Special order spare parts will not be refunded as we are unable to return these to our suppliers as they have been ordered especially for you on a non-refundable basis and are not commonly required parts. Return of spare parts that are agreed to return will incur a 50% minimum return to stock charge as this is chargeable to us by our suppliers.
1.7 ELSERVE’s technician will visit you on the agreed upon date and time to repair your appliance. If any required spare parts aren’t available, they will then be ordered and could take up to 4 business days for arrival. Some parts need to be ordered from abroad, which can take longer. When the parts are available, ELSERVE will contact you to organize installation.
1.8 ELSERVE always does its best to keep appointment times. Occasionally, however, we may not be able to attend the repair but you will be informed as soon as possible for rescheduling.
1.9 ELSERVE does not repair commercial appliances, but we do repair domestic appliances in commercial settings. In these instances, we do not offer a guarantee on repairs.
1.10 ELSERVE does not accept liability for any losses incurred before, during, or after carrying out repairs. This includes, but is not limited to; water damage, food loss or laundry costs.
1.11 If you wish ELSERVE to repair more than one appliance, you will be charged an additional fee.
1.12 Free parking or a valid permit to park must be provided to ELSERVE’s technician at the time of repair. If this is not the case, we may have to reschedule the appointment if our engineer is unable to find a parking space on the day of your visit.
1.13 If your appliance requires more than one technician, you may be charged an additional labour fee.
1.14 ELSERVE reserves the right to refuse installation of spare parts not sourced by ourselves, or our representatives.
