What is an Appliance Repair Technician invoice?

An appliance repair technician invoice covers work diagnosing and repairing domestic appliances including washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, ovens, cookers, fridges, and freezers. Appliance technicians are called out to diagnose faults, source and fit replacement parts, and return appliances to working order. Invoicing typically consists of a diagnostic call-out fee, parts supplied, and labour for the repair. For older appliances where the repair cost approaches the replacement value, technicians should advise clients of the repair versus replace trade-off before proceeding. Parts costs vary enormously and should be clearly itemised. Some technicians charge a diagnostic fee that is deducted from the repair invoice if the client proceeds with the repair.

Frequently asked questions

Should I charge a diagnostic fee even if I cannot repair the appliance?
Yes. The diagnostic work has real value regardless of outcome. State your diagnostic fee policy clearly in advance: either a fixed fee or a fee deductible from the repair if the client proceeds.
How do I handle clients who want a cheaper repair than I recommend?
Document your recommendation in writing on the invoice. If the client chooses a partial repair (replacing one component without addressing the root cause), note on the invoice that you have advised a fuller repair and the client declined.
What warranty should I offer on repairs?
30-90 days on labour is standard. Parts warranties depend on the manufacturer; reputable parts suppliers typically offer 90 days on the part. Note the warranty period on the invoice.
How do I invoice a repair that requires ordering parts?
Charge the diagnostic call-out on the first visit. When the part arrives and you return, invoice the part cost plus return visit labour. Some technicians issue one combined invoice after the final visit.
Do I need to charge VAT on appliance repairs?
Only if your turnover exceeds the VAT threshold (£90,000). Many sole trader appliance technicians are below this level. If you are below the threshold, note 'Not VAT registered' on your invoice.
