About these guides
Our guides are written and edited by Leland Hargrove, our Appliance Advice Editor, from the repairs our technicians handle in Jacksonville homes. They are meant to help you decide what to do next, including the times when the right answer is a simple fix you can make yourself.
Cost figures in the guides come from published national cost data and are labeled as planning ranges, not quotes. When a guide recommends calling, it is because the next step involves a part, a gas connection or a sealed system that needs a technician.
