One of the major factors in a homeowners decision to repair or replace a broken appliance is the cost of repair parts. When parts are expensive, homeowners are less likely to proceed with appliance repairs, and appliances end up in the landfill
In some cases, certain aftermarket appliance manufacturers may sell parts that cost 50% less to the consumer than OEM parts do. There are many low quality aftermarket parts available on Amazon, leading to the general misconception that ‘aftermarket’ is synonymous with low quality. But this is not the case with certain reputable aftermarket manufacturers. These aftermarket parts may even be backed by a longer warranty than OEM. Sometimes the aftermarket part even makes an improvement to an OEM weakness. However, there has been a lack of availability and awareness of high quality aftermarket parts in Western Canada.
A new player on the scene is aiming to change this. Partsconnect Ltd. in Calgary, Alberta, is bringing well-known, established aftermarket appliance part brands to Western Canada.
For homeowners, this means that repairing their dryer or washing machine becomes more affordable, and fewer appliances are disposed of into landfills. For appliance repair companies, this means increased sales. Partsconnect envisions a future where broken appliances are not held for ransom by high part prices, and where appliances are not sent to the landfill because the cost of basic repair parts is prohibitive.
To view Partsconnect Ltd’s selection of aftermarket appliance parts, go to https://aftermarketapplianceparts.ca. Partsconnect is selling a selection of parts chosen by contractors who know which parts fail the most. This means if your dryer is noisy, or your washer isn’t draining, they probably carry the part that you need for a much lower price than OEM.
