# Monogram sealed system repair cost

### Why this one is quoted in writing first

Because it is the biggest number on the site and because it is the one most often reached for too early. Nobody should agree to it without seeing the readings that led there.

### What separates the bands

A leak found and repaired is one figure. A restriction is another. A compressor is the top of the range, and it is also the one where the age of the cabinet enters the conversation properly.

### When we say do not do it

When the cabinet has other things going the same way, or when the leak is somewhere that cannot be repaired to last. We would rather lose the job than take it on those terms.

What moves this figure

from $695, quoted in writing before starting

Reached by measurement, never by elimination

Honest about when a cabinet is not worth it

What has actually failed

A leak, a restriction and a failed compressor are three different repairs with three different figures, and they are told apart with gauges.

Whether the leak can be reached

Some can be repaired properly and some are in places that cannot be reached economically. We say which before starting rather than recharging and staying quiet.

What the cabinet is worth

On a built-in column this repair is usually sound economics. We will still put the numbers side by side rather than assume.

Whether the part is a stocked item

Monogram parts are lower-volume than mass-market equivalents, so some arrive next day and some are ordered. We say which before you commit, because it decides whether this is one visit or two.

What the installation costs in time

A freestanding appliance is pulled out; a built-in one is not. Panels, trim and sometimes a neighboring cabinet come off in an order and go back the same way, and that time is real work rather than padding.

Why this one is quoted in writing first

Because it is the biggest number on the site and because it is the one most often reached for too early. Nobody should agree to it without seeing the readings that led there.

What separates the bands

A leak found and repaired is one figure. A restriction is another. A compressor is the top of the range, and it is also the one where the age of the cabinet enters the conversation properly.

When we say do not do it

When the cabinet has other things going the same way, or when the leak is somewhere that cannot be repaired to last. We would rather lose the job than take it on those terms.

### Can you just top up the refrigerant?

We can, and it will be back in months, and you will have paid twice. Refrigerant does not get used up — if it is low, it left, and it left somewhere.

### How long does this repair take?

Most of a day on a built-in, sometimes two if a part has to come. Recovery, repair, evacuation, a weighed-in charge and then watching the cabinet pull down and hold.
