Should plumbers be certified or licensed?

<div><p>Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. </p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: </p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</p></li></ul><p> Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</p></div>

How long should appliances last?

<div><p>Typically, most appliances last anywhere from <b>10 to 15 years</b>, depending on the appliance, brand, and amount of use. Keeping a regular maintenance schedule, including cleaning and tune-ups, also helps appliances last longer. Dryers, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-it-cost-install-gas-stove-home-already-has-gas.htm">gas stoves</a>, and refrigerators tend to last the longest, averaging about 13 to 15 years. Microwaves and dishwashers tend to last about 10 years on average. </p></div>

Do appliance warranties transfer to new owners?

<div><p>In most cases, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-extended-warranties-appliances-worth-it.htm">appliance warranties</a> do not transfer to new owners. However, some exceptions apply. To check the status of your appliance warranty and whether you can transfer it when you move, review the terms and conditions of your warranties or consult your home warranty service. When purchasing a new appliance or one from a previous owner, be sure to pay attention to its warranty status, including the type of coverage and any exclusions.</p></div>

How much do home appliances cost?

<div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-home-appliances-cost.htm">cost of home appliances</a> ranges from <b>$350 to $8,000</b> or more, depending on the brand, type of appliance, and features. Additional cost factors include any hookups that need to be installed, such as gas, plumbing, or electrical. Keep in mind that major appliances, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers, and water heaters, will cost more than minor appliances, such as microwaves, due to the size, complexity, and essential nature of the item.</p></div>

How much do plumbers typically charge?

<div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plumber-cost.htm">The average cost to hire a plumber</a> is around <b>$100 </b>an hour but can vary between<b> $45 and $200</b> an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average <b>$150 </b>per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of <b>$100 to $350</b>. </p></div>

"Utterly useless company. The owner John is very rude and does not care for Customers. Just behind cash. This company came along my way (unfortunately) through Home Warranty. The Technician did not show up on the appointment day. When I called later to check on this, I was told by John that we never had an appointment. When I sent the appointment confirmation notice from the Home Warranty company, John told me the "scheduling team" messed up. Very convenient. Finally, when the appointment was set for the following week, the Technician did not evaluate the issue properly. And further, they wanted to charge me additional $250 out of pocket for "modification" work which was not covered by the Warranty. When I called the Warranty company and escalated this, I was later told that the Maintenance company tried to reach me to explain the issue. WRONG! no one from Property Maintenance even texted me, forget calling me. I then read the online reviews and figured this Company and it's owner John are SCAM artists. I did not get the issue resolved through them. I just hired a handyman who not only fixed the issue but also told me no modifications were needed. And all this for half the price ! STAY AWAY ! JOHN and PRIMARY MAINTENANCE are SCAMSTERS !"
