Right to Repair
Owners of appliances are getting frustrated over their appliances that aren’t made to last and when they break they are not repairable!
We are supportive of enforcement for requirements for designers of appliances:
- The appliance should be constructed to allow repairs to be made,
- Owners or repair providers should be able to access original spare parts and tools,
- Repairs should not be stopped by software,
- The Manufacturer must say at the sale that the appliance is repairable.
At the moment Manufacturers can sell appliances cheaply by reducing product quality and making products hard to repair. As a result our landfills are filling up and with shipping and transportation costs our climate is being affected.
Carbon & Reliability
Every day we are replacing broken items that should be able to last much longer. Recycling the metals alone isn't enough, buy refurbished appliances that the carbon and transport has generally been accounted for.
Performance
Even now with increased inflation and Labour costs, by some external companies, it can be less expensive for a Homeowner or Landlord to replace a stove with one of our refurbished stoves rather than get it repaired on site.
Ethical
You can be assured that Stoves4U will either ethically recycle or repair and recirculate the ovens into the home market again.
