Frequently asked questions
Do fridge engineers charge a call-out fee?
Usually, yes. The average call-out charge is £50 to £120, and engineers typically charge £60 to £80 an hour outside London, though most give a fixed quote once the fault is diagnosed.
How much does it cost to regas a fridge freezer?
Regassing a domestic fridge freezer costs £60 to £200, depending on the model and refrigerant. It is only needed if there is a refrigerant leak, and a leak often returns, so it can be a temporary fix.
How much does a new compressor cost?
A compressor replacement costs £440 to £640 including parts and labour, and can take 3 to 4 hours. Simpler faults such as a thermostat (£75 to £140) or door seal (£90 to £140) often take under an hour.
What should I check before hiring a refrigeration engineer?
Any repair involving refrigerant gas must legally be carried out by an F-Gas qualified engineer, so check the engineer or company is registered with an F-Gas scheme such as REFCOM.
